Name

trace_block_bio_bounce — used bounce buffer when processing block operation

Synopsis

void trace_block_bio_bounce (struct request_queue * q,
 struct bio * bio);
 

Arguments

q

queue holding the block operation

bio

block operation

Description

A bounce buffer was used to handle the block operation bio in q. This occurs when hardware limitations prevent a direct transfer of data between the bio data memory area and the IO device. Use of a bounce buffer requires extra copying of data and decreases performance.
