bioreset(9F)		 Kernel Functions for Drivers		  bioreset(9F)

NAME
       bioreset - reuse a private buffer header after I/O is complete

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/buf.h>
       #include <sys/ddi.h>

       void bioreset(struct buf *bp);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

PARAMETERS
       bp	Pointer to the buf(9S) structure.

DESCRIPTION
       bioreset()  is used by drivers that allocate private buffers with getr‐
       buf(9F) or kmem_alloc(9F) and want to reuse them in multiple  transfers
       before  freeing	them  with  freerbuf(9F)  or kmem_free(9F). bioreset()
       resets the buffer header to the state it had when  initially  allocated
       by getrbuf() or initialized by bioinit(9F).

CONTEXT
       bioreset() can be called from any context.

SEE ALSO
       strategy(9E),   bioinit(9F),  biofini(9F),  freerbuf(9F),  getrbuf(9F),
       kmem_alloc(9F), kmem_free(9F), buf(9S)

NOTES
       bp must not describe a transfer in progress.
