bio structure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi members,
 
I am reading the Oreilly book and I am reading about the bio structure.
 
I am not able to understand its two fields:
unsigned short
bi_phys_segments
Number of physical segments of the bio after merging
unsigned short
bi_hw_segments
Number of hardware segments after merging
What is difference between physical segments and hardware segments?
 
Any help or link.
 
TIA.
