inux Data Structures （ Linux 数据结构）
本附录列出了本书中描述的 Linux 使用的主要的数据结构。为了在页面上访得下，它们经过了少量的编辑。
Block_dev_struct
block_dev_struct 数据结构用于登记可用的块设备，让 buffer cache 使用。它们放在 blk_dev 向量表中。
参见 include/linux/blkdev.h
struct blk_dev_struct {
void (*request_fn)(void);
struct request * current_request;
struct request plug;
struct tq_struct plug_tq;
} ;
buffer_head
buffer_head 数据结构存放 buffer cache 中一个块缓冲区的信息。
参见 include/linux/fs.h

#define BH_Touched 4 /* 1 if the buffer has been touched (aging) */
#define BH_Has_aged 5 /* 1 if the buffer has been aged (aging) */
#define BH_Protected 6 /* 1 if the buffer is protected */
#define BH_FreeOnIO 7 /* 1 to discard the buffer_head after IO */

device
系统中的每一个网络设备都用一个 device 数据结构表示
参见 include/linux/netdevice.h
