Ausam/sys/buf.h
/*
* Each buffer in the pool is usually doubly linked into 2 lists:
* the device with which it is currently associated (always)
* and also on a list of blocks available for allocation
* for other use (usually).
* The latter list is kept in last-used order, and the two
* lists are doubly linked to make it easy to remove
* a buffer from one list when it was found by
* looking through the other.
* A buffer is on the available list, and is liable
* to be reassigned to another disk block, if and only
* if it is not marked BUSY. When a buffer is busy, the
* available-list pointers can be used for other purposes.
* Most drivers use the forward ptr as a link in their I/O
* active queue.
* A buffer header contains all the information required
* to perform I/O.
* Most of the routines which manipulate these things
* are in bio.c.
