sys/buf.h struct buf missing b_blkno member

[Matthew Dillon]

:Hi all,
:
:Afaik b_blkno member from struct buf defined on sys/buf.h was dropped 
:(as well as other b_*blkno members). Is there any replacement for that? 
:What should we use instead?
:
:--

    They got moved to the buffer's BIO array, and changed from block numbers
    to 64 bit byte granular offsets.  Each buffer has a stack of up to four
    translation layers, each given its own BIO.

    bp->b_bio1.bio_offset	Logical byte offset
    bp->b_bio2.bio_offset	Physical byte offset (depends on the VFS)

    bio->bio_offset		Physical byte offset from the point of view
				of a block device driver.

    What you see depends on where in the I/O stream you are sitting.  If
    you are a block device driver the strategy calls all pass a BIO, not
    a BUF, and the disk offset is just bio->bio_offset.  The buffer can
    be accessed via the bio using bio->bio_buf.

    If you are a higher layer, such as a filesystem, bp->b_bio1.bio_offset
    is typically a logical inode-relative offset.  For UFS
    bp->b_bio2.bio_offset is the BMAPped physical device offset.  For other
    filesystems it will depend... for example, HAMMER encodes a volume
    number along with the byte offset in its b_bio2 and pushes a third
    layer BIO to the actual block device.

    The best place to deal with I/O operations is in the block device's
    strategy call, where the BIO is passed directly and bio->bio_offset is
    thus exactly what you desire.
