+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The NetBSD generic disk framework is designed to provide flexible,
+scalable, and consistent handling of disk state and metrics information.
+The fundamental component of this framework is the
+.Nm disk
+structure, which is defined as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+struct disk {
+ TAILQ_ENTRY(disk) dk_link; /* link in global disklist */
+ char *dk_name; /* disk name */
+ int dk_bopenmask; /* block devices open */
+ int dk_copenmask; /* character devices open */
+ int dk_openmask; /* composite (bopen|copen) */
+ int dk_state; /* label state */
+ int dk_blkshift; /* shift to convert DEV_BSIZE to blks */
+ int dk_byteshift; /* shift to convert bytes to blks */
+
+ /*
+ * Metrics data; note that some metrics may have no meaning
+ * on certain types of disks.
+ */
+ int dk_busy; /* busy counter */
+ u_int64_t dk_xfer; /* total number of transfers */
+ u_int64_t dk_seek; /* total independent seek operations */
+ u_int64_t dk_bytes; /* total bytes transfered */
+ struct timeval dk_attachtime; /* time disk was attached */
+ struct timeval dk_timestamp; /* timestamp of last unbusy */
+ struct timeval dk_time; /* total time spent busy */
+
+ struct dkdriver *dk_driver; /* pointer to driver */
+
+ /*
+ * Disk label information. Storage for the in-core disk label
+ * must be dynamically allocated, otherwise the size of this
+ * structure becomes machine-dependent.
+ */
+ daddr_t dk_labelsector; /* sector containing label */
+ struct disklabel *dk_label; /* label */
+ struct cpu_disklabel *dk_cpulabel;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The system maintains a global linked-list of all disks attached to the
+system. This list, called
+.Nm disklist ,
+may grow or shrink over time as disks are dynamically added and removed
+from the system. Drivers which currently make use of the detachment
+capability of the framework are the
+.Nm ccd
+and
+.Nm vnd
+pseudo-device drivers.
+.Pp
+The following is a brief description of each function in the framework:
+.Bl -tag -width "disk_resetstat()"
+.It Fn disk_init
+Initialize the disklist and other data structures used by the framework.
+Called by
+.Fn main
+before autoconfiguration.
+.It Fn disk_attach
+Attach a disk; allocate storage for the disklabel, set the
+.Dq attached time
+timestamp, insert the disk into the disklist, and intrement the
+system disk count.
+.It Fn disk_detatch
+Detatch a disk; free storage for the disklabel, remove the disk
+from the disklist, and decrement the system disk count. If the count
+drops below zero, panic.
+.It Fn disk_busy
+Increment the disk's
+.Dq busy counter .
+If this counter goes from 0 to 1, set the timestamp corresponding to
+this transfer.
+.It Fn disk_unbusy
+Decrement a disk's busy counter. If the count drops below zero, panic.
+Get the current time, subtract it from the disk's timestamp, and add
+the difference to the disk's running total. Set the disk's timestamp
+to the current time. If the provided byte count is greater than 0,
+add it to the disk's running total and increment the number of transfers
+performed by the disk.
+.It Fn disk_resetstat
+Reset the running byte, transfer, and time totals.
+.It Fn disk_find
+Return a pointer to the disk structure corresponding to the name provided,
+or NULL if the disk does not exist.
+.El
+.Pp
+The functions typically called by device drivers are
+.Fn disk_attach ,
+.Fn disk_detatch ,
+.Fn disk_busy ,
+.Fn disk_unbusy ,
+and
+.Fn disk_resetstat .
+The function
+.Fn disk_find
+is provided as a utility function.
+.Sh USING THE FRAMEWORK
+This section includes a description on basic use of the framework
+and example usage of its functions. Actual implementation of
+a device driver which utilizes the framework may vary.
+.Pp
+A special routine,
+.Fn disk_init ,
+is provided to perform basic initialization of data structures used by
+the framework. It is called exactly once by the system, in
+.Fn main ,
+before device autoconfiguration.
+.Pp
+Each device in the system uses a
+.Dq softc
+structure which contains autoconfiguration and state information for that
+device. In the case of disks, the softc should also contain one instance
+of the disk stucture, eg:
+.Bd -literal
+struct foo_softc {
+ struct device *sc_dev; /* generic device information */
+ struct disk *sc_dk; /* generic disk information */
+ [ . . . more . . . ]
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In order for the system to gather metrics data about a disk, the disk must
+be registered with the system. The
+.Fn disk_attach
+routine performs all of the functions currently required to register a disk
+with the system including allocation of disklabel storage space,
+recording of the time since boot that the disk was attached, and insertion
+into the disklist. Note that since this function allocates storage space
+for the disklabel, it must be called before the disklabel is read from the
+media or used in any other way. Before
+.Fn disk_attach
+is called, a portions of the disk structure must be initialized with
+data specific to that disk. For example, in the
+.Dq foo
+disk driver, the following would be performed in the autoconfiguration
+.Dq attach
+routine:
+.Bd -literal
+void
+fooattach(parent, self, aux)
+ struct device *parent, *self;
+ void *aux;
+{
+ struct foo_softc *sc = (struct foo_softc *)self;
+ [ . . . ]
+
+ /* Initialize and attach the disk structure. */
+ sc->sc_dk.dk_driver = &foodkdriver;
+ sc->sc_dk.dk_name = sc->sc_dev.dv_xname;
+ disk_attach(&sc->sc_dk);
+
+ /* Read geometry and fill in pertinent parts of disklabel. */
+ [ . . . ]
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm foodkdriver
+above is the disk's
+.Dq driver
+switch. This switch currently includes a pointer to the disk's
+.Dq strategy
+routine. This switch needs to have global scope and sould be initialized
+as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+void foostrategy __P((struct buf *));
+struct dkdriver foodkdriver = { foostrategy };
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Once the disk is attached, metrics may be gathered on that disk. In order
+to gather metrics data, the driver must tell the framework when the disk
+starts and stops operations. This functionality is provided by the
+.Fn disk_busy
+and
+.Fn disk_unbusy
+routines. The
+.Fn disk_busy
+routine should be called immediately before a command to the disk is
+sent, eg:
+.Bd -literal
+void
+foostart(sc)
+ struct foo_softc *sc;
+{
+ [ . . . ]
+
+ /* Get buffer from drive's transfer queue. */
+ [ . . . ]
+
+ /* Build command to send to drive. */
+ [ . . . ]
+
+ /* Tell the disk framework we're is going busy. */
+ disk_busy(&sc->sc_dk);
+
+ /* Send command to the drive. */
+ [ . . . ]
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+When
+.Fn disk_busy
+is called, a timestamp is taken if the disk's busy counter moves from
+0 to 1, indicating the disk has gone from an idle to non-idle state.
+Note that
+.Fn disk_busy
+must be called at
+.Fn splbio .
+At the end of a transaction, the
+.Fn disk_unbusy
+routine should be called. This routine performs some consistency checks,
+such as ensuring that the calls to
+.Fn disk_busy
+and
+.Fn disk_unbusy
+are balanced. This routine also performs the actual metrics calculation.
+A timestamp is taken, and the difference from the timestamp taken in
+.Fn disk_busy
+is added to the disk's total running time. The disk's timestamp is then
+updated in case there is more than one pending transfer on the disk.
+A byte count is also added to the disk's running total, and if greater than
+zero, the number of transfers the disk has performed is incremented.
+.Bd -literal
+void
+foodone(xfer)
+ struct foo_xfer *xfer;
+{
+ struct foo_softc = (struct foo_softc *)xfer->xf_softc;
+ struct buf *bp = xfer->xf_buf;
+ long nbytes;
+ [ . . . ]
+
+ /*
+ * Get number of bytes transfered. If there is no buf
+ * associated with the xfer, we are being called at the
+ * end of a non-I/O command.
+ */
+ if (bp == NULL)
+ nbytes = 0;
+ else
+ nbytes = bp->b_bcount - bp->b_resid;
+
+ [ . . . ]
+
+ /* Notify the disk framework that we've completed the transfer. */
+ disk_unbusy(&sc->sc_dk, nbytes);
+
+ [ . . . ]
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Like
+.Fn disk_busy ,
+.Fn disk_unbusy
+must be called at
+.Fn splbio .
+.Pp
+At some point a driver may wish to reset the metrics data gathered on a
+particular disk. For this function, the
+.Fn disk_resetstat
+routine is provided.
