<strong>Project</strong> 6<br />

<strong>Project</strong> Scope<br />

How does this block device work?<br />

Block-level operations<br />

Read/write take a block-sized buffer, and block number.<br />

Blocks are hard coded using DISK_BLOCK_SIZE.<br />

Operations are asynchronous (just like a real device).<br />

You schedule requests by a control call to the device.<br />

A limited number of requests may be processed at any<br />

one time.<br />

Requests will be arbitrarily delayed and re-ordered.<br />

Asynchronous events complete by means of an interrupt.<br />

Once again, you’ll need to write an interrupt handler.
