NAME

       blk_free_tags - release a given set of tag maintenance info

SYNOPSIS

       void blk_free_tags(struct blk_queue_tag * bqt);

ARGUMENTS

       bqt
	   the tag map to free

DESCRIPTION

       For externally managed bqt frees the map. Callers of this function must guarantee to have released all the queues that might have been
       using this tag map.

DESCRIPTION

     The m_tag interface is used to ``tag'' mbufs.

FUNCTIONS

     m_tag_get(type, len, wait)
	      Allocate an mbuf tag.  type is one of the PACKET_TAG_ macros.  len is the size of the data associated with the tag, in bytes.  wait
	      is either M_WAITOK or M_NOWAIT.

     m_tag_free(t)
	      Free the mbuf tag t.

     m_tag_prepend(m, t)
	      Prepend the mbuf tag t to the mbuf m.  t will become the first tag of the mbuf m.  When m is freed, t will also be freed.

     m_tag_unlink(m, t)
	      Unlink the mbuf tag t from the mbuf m.

     m_tag_delete(m, t)
	      The same as m_tag_unlink() followed by m_tag_free().

     m_tag_delete_chain(m, t)
	      Unlink and free mbuf tags beginning with the mbuf tag t from the mbuf m.	If t is NULL, m_tag_delete_chain() unlinks and frees all
	      mbuf tags associated with the mbuf m.

     m_tag_delete_nonpersistent(m)
	      Unlink and free all non persistent tags associated with the mbuf m.

     m_tag_find(m, type, t)
	      Find an mbuf tag with type type after the mbuf tag t in the tag chain associated with the mbuf m.  If t is NULL, search from the
	      first mbuf tag.  If an mbuf tag is found, return a pointer to it.  Otherwise return NULL.

     m_tag_copy(t)
	      Copy an mbuf tag t.  Return a new mbuf tag on success.  Otherwise return NULL.

     m_tag_copy_chain(to, from)
	      Copy all mbuf tags associated with the mbuf from to the mbuf to.	If to already has any mbuf tags, they will be unlinked and freed
	      beforehand.  Return 1 on success.  Otherwise return 0.

     m_tag_init(m)
	      Initialize mbuf tag chain of the mbuf m.

     m_tag_first(m)
	      Return the first mbuf tag associated with the mbuf m.  Return NULL if no mbuf tags are found.

     m_tag_next(m, t)
	      Return the next mbuf tag after t associated with the mbuf m.  Return NULL if t is the last tag in the chain.

CODE REFERENCES

     The mbuf tagging interfaces are implemented within the file sys/kern/uipc_mbuf2.c.

     The PACKET_TAG_ macros are defined in the file sys/sys/mbuf.h.

BUGS

     The semantics of the term "persistent tag" are vague.
