- Always ensure that RAW_PART ("c") can be opened.
- Disallow unused or non-existent partitions from being opened.
- Don't do bounds checking or partition translation on RAW_PART.
This is consistent with other disk drivers in the NetBSD source tree,
and fixes a condition where the user could not fix a corrupted disklabel
due to a bogus offset for partition "c".
to a softc, rather than a unit number. Add a "dq_softc" member
to struct devqueue; this is a temporary measure until the
dma/controller/device callback spaghetti is untangled.
YAY! No more need for dcafastservice!
HIL: squish instances of "(void) splhil()" and "(void) spl0();".
to the identification request in rdmatch(). Similar in spirit to a
patch from Jason Downs (written eons ago), but limited to the broken
device we're trying to reach. My patch tested (and fixed :-) by
Herb Peyerl.
- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
COMPAT_NOLABEL.
XXX One day when the world doesn't assume DEV_BSIZE bytes/sector, we'll be
able to actually use the stuff sensed from the drive, rather than a table.
