free_requests and bulk_requests

 HI,

  Anyone know what it is the difference between free_requests and 
bulk_requests. I was going thru the code on block driver ll_rw_block.c . 
these are the counter values that are maintained by the block driver for 
each device queue. But what is exactly a free_request. Where can I find 
more documentation on I/O device handling in Linux apart from the

 "Linux device drivers 2nd Edition"

  any useful links...???

 thanks,
raghu
