 * are linked together in a chain, with 'front' pointing to the least recently
 * used block and 'rear' to the most recently used block.  If 'only_search' is
 * 1, the block being requested will be overwritten in its entirety, so it is
 * only necessary to see if it is in the cache; if it is not, any free buffer
 * will do.  It is not necessary to actually read the block in from disk.
 * If 'only_search' is PREFETCH, the block need not be read from the disk,
 * and the device is not to be marked on the block, so callers can tell if
 * the block returned is valid.
 * In addition to the LRU chain, there is also a hash chain to link together
 * blocks whose block numbers end with the same bit strings, for fast lookup.

get_blockでは、ブロック番号に基づいて対応するハッシュチェーンを検索し、対応するバッファブロックが見つかった場合、そのb_count値は0.なぜならb_countがゼロに減少したのはput_blockで行いました.そしてput_blockはb_だけをcountを1つ減らし、この値が0の場合、このバッファブロックをLRUチェーンに再挿入します.LRUチェーンに挿入するにはpreとnextポインタが使用されます.しかし、このバッファブロックは元のHASH Chainに残っている.1つのブロックを1つのhash chainから取り出して別のhash chainに挿入するのはget_ですblockで行いました.
LRUチェーンのメンテナンスは、バッファブロック内のpreおよびnextポインタによって行われる.hash chainはb_hashポインタ実装.
