bioreset(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers bioreset(9F) NAME
bioreset - reuse a private buffer header after I/O is complete SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/buf.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> void bioreset(struct buf *bp); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI) PARAMETERS
bp Pointer to the buf(9S) structure. DESCRIPTION
bioreset() is used by drivers that allocate private buffers with getrbuf(9F) or kmem_alloc(9F) and want to reuse them in multiple transfers before freeing them with freerbuf(9F) or kmem_free(9F). bioreset() resets the buffer header to the state it had when initially allocated by getrbuf() or initialized by bioinit(9F). CONTEXT
bioreset() can be called from any context. SEE ALSO
