};
pci_bus
系统中的每一个PCI总线用一个pci_bus数据结构表示
参见include/linux/pci.h
struct pci_bus {
struct pci_bus *parent; /* parent bus this bridge is on */
struct pci_bus *children; /* chain of P2P bridges on this bus */
struct pci_bus *next; /* chain of all PCI buses */
struct pci_dev *self; /* bridge device as seen by parent */
struct pci_dev *devices; /* devices behind this bridge */
void *sysdata; /* hook for sys-specific extension */
unsigned char number; /* bus number */
unsigned char primary; /* number of primary bridge */
unsigned char secondary; /* number of secondary bridge */
unsigned char subordinate; /* max number of subordinate buses */
};
pci_dev
系统中的每一个PCI设备,包括PCI-PCI和PCI-ISA桥设备都用一个pci_dev数据结构代表
参见include/linux/pci.h
/*
* There is one pci_dev structure for each slot-number/function-number
* combination:
*/
struct pci_dev {
struct pci_bus *bus; /* bus this device is on */
struct pci_dev *sibling; /* next device on this bus */
struct pci_dev *next; /* chain of all devices */
void *sysdata; /* hook for sys-specific extension */
unsigned int devfn; /* encoded device & function index */
unsigned short vendor;
unsigned short device;
unsigned int class; /* 3 bytes: (base,sub,prog-if) */
unsigned int master : 1; /* set if device is master capable */
/*
* In theory, the irq level can be read from configuration
* space and all would be fine. However, old PCI chips don't
* support these registers and return 0 instead. For example,
* the Vision864-P rev 0 chip can uses INTA, but returns 0 in
* the interrupt line and pin registers. pci_init()
* initializes this field with the value at PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE
* and it is the job of pcibios_fixup() to change it if
* necessary. The field must not be 0 unless the device
* cannot generate interrupts at all.
*/
unsigned char irq; /* irq generated by this device */
};
request
request用于向系统中的块设备发出请求。请求都是从/向buffer cache读/写数据块

#define RQ_ACTIVE 1
#define RQ_SCSI_BUSY 0xffff
#define RQ_SCSI_DONE 0xfffe
#define RQ_SCSI_DISCONNECTING 0xffe0
