the capacity based on the c/h/s numbers. In fact, don't use the c/h/s
numbers for much of anything.
For ATA-4 drives or later, always use LBA mode, since it's now required.
Collectively, this allows >8GB disks (like the 12GB Bigfoot) to work.
Compute the disk block addr at command queing time rather than exec time.
This fix a bug which could lead to data corruption on disk: when a command
was reexecuted after an error condition (from wdcunwedge), the partition
offset was re-added to the block addr, leading to a transfert at the wrong
disk block.
This should fix the problem reported by some laptop's users, where the
first disk read after a suspend/resume returned garbage.
* Fix bug in wdc that would overflow ATAPI transfer length.
* Improve wdc probe code so that 'wdc' is probed in if present
even if there are no drives attached, and so that it works
properly even if the only device is an ATAPI slave.
* bus_space-ify.
* split the ISA attachment from the wdc driver, and remove
ISA dependencies from non-ISA files.
* claim that wd and wdc are now machine-independent (probably not
completely true, but mostly so; they at least work on arm32 and
i386).
* Various other minor fixups and cleanups, some of which were pointed
out by Kazuki Sakamoto.
pseudo-device rnd # /dev/random and in-kernel generator
in config files.
o Add declaration to all architectures.
o Clean up copyright message in rnd.c, rnd.h, and rndpool.c to include
that this code is derived in part from Ted Tyso's linux code.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
- 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.
