Heyo Deepak,

I am trying to learn Block driver. However i got overwhelmed with various available options, may u suggest some pointers to start ?(sourabhsagar7601@gmail.com)

Look at Virtio block driver code. drivers/block/virtio_blk.c
It is a small contained driver and easier to understand block driver concepts and play with it in quem/kvm env.
config VIRTIO_BLK
tristate "Virtio block driver"
depends on VIRTIO
help
This is the virtual block driver for virtio. It can be used with
QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
