17 * This module takes care of scheduling and executing asynchronous I/O requests
18 * on files opened with O_DIRECT. It is primarily used by the fb-direct fastbuf
19 * back-end, but you can use it explicitly, too.
21 * You can define several I/O queues, each for use by a single thread. Requests
22 * on a single queue are always processed in order of their submits, requests
23 * from different queues may be interleaved (although the current implementation
24 * does not do so). Normal read and write requests are returned to their queue
25 * when they are completed. Write-back requests are automatically freed when
26 * done, but the number of such requests in fly is limited in order to avoid
27 * consuming all memory, so a submit of a write-back request can block.
