I was going through the code in linux/drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c
and had a doubt which i though someone could answer
In a block device , The kernel maintains a global list of requests in
blk_dev[MAX_BLKDEV]. The request handlers are initalized for a
particular device by
q->request_fn = rfn;
My question is how does the Kernel signal ("wake up") the appropriate
driver that
"now you have a request that you need to service"
Thanks in advance
Mathew
