[Disksim-users] Interfacing disksim synchronously

[Diwaker Gupta]

Hi *,

I'm looking to integrate disksim in a full system simulator. I've read
through disksim_interface*, the manual etc and everywhere one of the
requirements listed is that the simulator support asynchronous
operation -- that is, it should be able to proceed without blocking
for the disk request to finish, and at some later time disksim would
deliver the completion notification.

Due to some constraints, I need to interface disksim in a synchronous
fashion. That is, I'd like to pass in the request to disksim, and I'd
like disksim to immediately return to me the time it _would_ take to
finish the request. I can then inject the appropriately delay in the
external simulator myself.

Can anyone suggest what would be a good way to go about this? Is this
even doable?

Thanks,
Diwaker
