摘要:
A system and method can support input/output (I/O) virtualization in a computing environment. The system can comprise a free buffer pool in a memory. An I/O device operates to use the free buffer pool to store disk read data received from a physical host bus adaptor (HBA). The free buffer pool can contain a two-dimensional linked list and a one-dimensional linked list. Each entry of the two-dimensional linked list contains multiple packet buffers in consecutive memory locations, and each entry of the one-dimensional linked list contains a single packet buffer.
