- 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.
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.
it to determine the boot device: mvme68k, pc532, macppc, ofppc. Those
platforms should be changed to use device_register(). In the mean time,
those ports defined __BROKEN_DK_ESTABLISH.
Clean up the name space here a bit.
Add a `busname' element to struct ofprobe (now struct ofbus_attach_args), and
check against it.
Nuke `ofroot'.
Rename the `openfirm' attribute to `ofbus'.
- If the partition is already open, skip the open/close step. (Sync
with other disk drivers.)
- foosize()'s return value is in DEV_BSIZE units; adjust the size obtained
from the disklabel accordingly.
- Pass correct arguments to ofdopen() and ofdclose().
- Determine and remember if we are a floppy.
- Workaround for what is apparently a firmware bug - ignore the sector
size returned by the device. On my Firepower's floppy, block-size
is the same as max-transfer, which causes Lossage.
- Don't read the disklabel on a floppy; do what the ISA floppy driver
does, which is assign the entire disk to each "partition", although
we do not deal with the density stuff.
- FIREPOWERBUGS -> FIRMWORKSBUGS
- Some general cleanup.
