need to understand the locking around that field. Instead of setting
B_ERROR, set b_error instead. b_error is 'owned' by whoever completes
the I/O request.
the kernel (eg from withthe linux compat code).
Add CDIOCREADSUBCHANNEL_BUF and CDIOREADTOCENTRIES_BUF which are like the
existing ioctls withoutthe _BUF, except that the data area immediately
follows the control structure (and is fixed length).
Modify scsipi/cd.c so that it only ever has one 'struct cd_formatted_toc'
allocated on the stack (maybe this info ought to be in the softc)
structure since even one 800 byte on-stack buffer isn't overly friendly.
cdplay(1) still seems able to read the track-list of an ATAPI cd.
- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
by the isa.c bus driver and the "address/whatever not specified"
argument passed to leaf device drivers.
The former is "ISACF_XXX_DEFAULT" as generaterd by config(8), the latter
"ISA_UNKNOWN_XXX", defined in isavar.h.
This way we save a dependency of every ISA device driver on "locators.h".
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
- disk_unbusy() gets a new parameter to tell the IO direction.
- struct disk_sysctl gets 4 new members for read/write bytes/transfers.
when processing hw.diskstats, add the read&write bytes/transfers for
the old combined stats to attempt to keep backwards compatibility.
unfortunately, due to multiple bugs, this will cause new kernels and old
vmstat/iostat/systat programs to fail. however, the next time this is
change it will not fail again.
this is just the kernel portion.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
configuration of devices logically attached to the ISA bus:
* Change the isa_attach_args to have arrays of io, mem, irq, drq
resources.
* Add a "pnpnames" and a linked list of "pnpcompatnames" to the
isa_attach_args. If either of these members are non-NULL,
direct configuration of the bus is being performed. Add an
ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() macro to test for this.
* Drivers are not allowed to modify the isa_attach_args unless
direct configuration is not being performed and the probe fucntion
is returning success.
* Adapt device drivers -- currently, all driver probe routines return
"no match" if ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() evaluates to true.
the number of partitions is > OLDMAXPARTITIONS. This is better
than silently truncating the label (don't want to silently throw
away partitions when using an old disklabel binary on a label with
> 8 partitions). From Enami Tsugutomo.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
command (unlock for sd and cd) if no other partitions are open, return
EBUSY otherwise. DIOCEJECT will have the old semantic if its argument is not
0. The old ioctl has been renamed to ODIOCEJECT for binary compatibility.
Before, the probe routine (mcd_find() would succeed even if the probe
code thought it had a response, but didn't recognize the ID-code byte.
Now, only do the promiscuous match if MCD_PROMISC is configured.
Instead, print a diagnostic and return. (Some drivers do this already.)
Also, normalize the diagnostic message, and fix some places where the
printfs were getting ugly.
