Block Device Cache Configuration
================================

This section describes configuration options related to the Block Device Cache
(bdbuf).

.. index:: CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_LIBBLOCK

.. _CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_LIBBLOCK:

CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_LIBBLOCK
------------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_LIBBLOCK``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is a boolean feature define.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
    If this configuration option is undefined, then the described feature is not
    enabled.

DESCRIPTION:
    In case this configuration option is defined, then the Block Device Cache is
    initialized during system initialization.

NOTES:
    Each option of the Block Device Cache (bdbuf) configuration can be explicitly
    set by the user with the configuration options below.  The Block Device Cache
    is used for example by the RFS and DOSFS filesystems.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 4096.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall satisfy all of the following
    constraints:

    * It shall be greater than or equal to 0.

    * It shall be an integral multiple of :ref:`CONFIGURE_BDBUF_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE`.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum size of a buffer
    in bytes.

NOTES:
    None.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE

.. _CONFIGURE_BDBUF_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE:

CONFIGURE_BDBUF_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE
-------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_BDBUF_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 512.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall be greater than or equal to 0
    and less than or equal to ``UINT32_MAX``.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the minimum size of a buffer
    in bytes.

NOTES:
    None.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_CACHE_MEMORY_SIZE

.. _CONFIGURE_BDBUF_CACHE_MEMORY_SIZE:

CONFIGURE_BDBUF_CACHE_MEMORY_SIZE
---------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_BDBUF_CACHE_MEMORY_SIZE``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 32768.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall be greater than or equal to 0
    and less than or equal to ``SIZE_MAX``.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the size of the cache memory
    in bytes.

NOTES:
    None.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_MAX_READ_AHEAD_BLOCKS

.. _CONFIGURE_BDBUF_MAX_READ_AHEAD_BLOCKS:

-------------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_BDBUF_MAX_READ_AHEAD_BLOCKS``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 0.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall be greater than or equal to 0
    and less than or equal to ``UINT32_MAX``.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum blocks per
    read-ahead request.

NOTES:
    A value of 0 disables the read-ahead task (default).  The read-ahead task
    will issue speculative read transfers if a sequential access pattern is
    detected.  This can improve the performance on some systems.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_MAX_WRITE_BLOCKS

.. _CONFIGURE_BDBUF_MAX_WRITE_BLOCKS:

    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 16.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall be greater than or equal to 0
    and less than or equal to ``UINT32_MAX``.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum blocks per write
    request.

NOTES:
    None.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_READ_AHEAD_TASK_PRIORITY

.. _CONFIGURE_BDBUF_READ_AHEAD_TASK_PRIORITY:

CONFIGURE_BDBUF_READ_AHEAD_TASK_PRIORITY
----------------------------------------

    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 15.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall be a valid Classic API task
    priority.  The set of valid task priorities is scheduler-specific.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the read-ahead task priority.

NOTES:
    None.

.. index:: CONFIGURE_BDBUF_TASK_STACK_SIZE

.. _CONFIGURE_BDBUF_TASK_STACK_SIZE:

CONFIGURE_BDBUF_TASK_STACK_SIZE
-------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_BDBUF_TASK_STACK_SIZE``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE``.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall satisfy all of the following
    constraints:

    * It shall be greater than or equal to :ref:`CONFIGURE_MINIMUM_TASK_STACK_SIZE`.

    * It shall be less than or equal to a
      BSP-specific and application-specific value which depends on the size of the
      memory available to the application.
