Pointer to a kstat_io(9S) structure.
A large number of I/O subsystems have at least two basic "lists" (or queues) of transactions they manage: one for transactions that have been accepted for processing but for which processing has yet to begin, and one for transactions which are actively being processed (but not done). For this reason, two cumulative time statistics are kept: wait (pre-service) time, and run (service) time.
The kstat_queue() family of functions manage these times based on the transitions between the driver wait queue and run queue. kstat_waitq_enter()
kstat_waitq_enter() should be called when a request arrives and is placed into a pre-service state (such as just prior to calling disksort(9F)).
kstat_waitq_exit() should be used when a request is removed from its pre-service state. (such as just prior to calling the driver's start routine).
kstat_runq_enter() is also called when a request is placed in its service state (just prior to calling the driver's start routine, but after kstat_waitq_exit()).
kstat_runq_exit() is used when a request is removed from its service state (just prior to calling biodone(9F)).
kstat_waitq_to_runq() transitions a request from the wait queue to the run queue. This is useful wherever the driver would have normally done a kstat_waitq_exit() followed by a call to kstat_runq_enter().
kstat_runq_back_to_waitq() transitions a request from the run queue back to the wait queue. This may be necessary in some cases (write throttling is an example).
None.
The kstat_queue() family of functions can be called from user or kernel context.
These transitions must be protected by holding the kstat's ks_lock, and must be completely accurate (all transitions are recorded). Forgetting a transition may, for example, make an idle disk appear 100% busy.
