I/O subsystem I/O subsystem
Because I/O devices vary so widely in their function and speed (consider a mouse, a hard disk), varied methods are needed to control them.
These methods form the I/O subsystem of the kernel, which separates the rest of the kernel from the complexities of managing I/O devices.
To encapsulate the details and oddities of different devices, the kernel of an operating system is structured to use device-driver modules.
The device drivers present a uniform device access interface to the I/O subsystem

Blocking and Nonblocking I/OBlocking and Nonblocking I/O
Blocking - process suspended until I/O completed
Easy to use and understand
Insufficient for some needs
Non-blocking - I/O call returns as much as available
User interface, data copy (buffered I/O)
Implemented via multi-threading
Returns quickly with count of bytes read or written
Asynchronous - process runs while I/O executes
Difficult to use
I/O subsystem signals process when I/O completed

Kernel I/O SubsystemKernel I/O Subsystem
Several services-scheduling, buffering, caching, spooling, device reservation, and error handling-are provided by the kernel's I/O subsystem.
Scheduling Some I/O request ordering via per-device queue Some OSs try fairness
Buffering - store data in memory while transferring between devices To cope with device speed mismatch To cope with device transfer size mismatch To maintain “copy semantics”
