.RE
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBbioclone()\fR function returns an initialized buffer to perform
\fBI/O\fR to a portion of another buffer. The new buffer will be set up to
perform \fBI/O\fR to the range within the original \fBI/O\fR request specified
by the parameters \fIoff\fR and \fIlen\fR. An offset \fB0\fR starts the new
\fBI/O\fR request at the same address as the original request. \fIoff\fR +
\fIlen\fR must not exceed \fIb_bcount,\fR the length of the original request.
The device number \fIdev\fR specifies the device to which the buffer is to
perform \fBI/O\fR. \fIblkno\fR is the block number on device. It will be
assigned to the \fIb_blkno\fR field of the cloned buffer structure.
\fIiodone\fR lets the driver identify a specific \fBbiodone\fR(9F) routine to
be called by the driver when the \fBI/O\fR is complete. \fIbp_mem\fR determines
from where the space for the buffer should be allocated. If \fIbp_mem\fR is
\fBNULL\fR, \fBbioclone()\fR will allocate a new buffer using
\fBgetrbuf\fR(9F). If \fIsleepflag\fR is set to \fBKM_SLEEP\fR, the driver may
sleep until space is freed up. If \fIsleepflag\fR is set to \fBKM_NOSLEEP\fR,
the driver will not sleep. In either case, a pointer to the allocated space is
returned or \fINULL\fR to indicate that no space was available. After the
transfer is completed, the buffer has to be freed using \fBfreerbuf\fR(9F). If
\fIbp_mem\fR is not \fINULL\fR, it will be used as the space for the buffer
structure. The driver has to ensure that \fIbp_mem\fR is initialized properly
either using \fBgetrbuf\fR(9F) or \fBbioinit\fR(9F).
.sp
.LP
If the original buffer is mapped into the kernel virtual address space using
\fBbp_mapin\fR(9F) before calling \fBbioclone()\fR, a clone buffer will share
the kernel mapping of the original buffer. An additional \fBbp_mapin()\fR to
get a kernel mapping for the clone buffer is not necessary.
.sp
.LP
The driver has to ensure that the original buffer is not freed while any of the
clone buffers is still performing \fBI/O\fR. The \fBbiodone()\fR function has
to be called on all clone buffers \fBbefore\fR it is called on the original
buffer.
.SH RETURN VALUES
The \fBbioclone()\fR function returns a pointer to the initialized buffer
header, or \fBNULL\fR if no space is available.
.SH CONTEXT
The \fBbioclone()\fR function can be called from user, interrup, or interrupt
context. Drivers must not allow \fBbioclone()\fR to sleep if called from an
interrupt routine.
.SH EXAMPLES
\fBExample 1 \fRUsing \fBbioclone()\fR for Disk Striping
.sp
.LP
A device driver can use \fBbioclone()\fR for disk striping. For each disk in
the stripe, a clone buffer is created which performs \fBI/O\fR to a portion of
the original buffer.
