and just passes it on to the file system functions. This avoids opening and
closing the device several times.
Mentioned on tech-kern some time ago, IIRC. I've been running this for a
long time.
do not leak siginfo structures.
Note that in the cases of trap signals and timer events, losing this
information could be very bad; right now it will cause us to spin until the
process is SIGKILLed.
"Needs work."
if it's specified, don't use free items as storage for internal state.
so that we can use pools for non memory backed objects.
inspired from solaris's KMC_NOTOUCH.
the code block, so that the purpose is more clear
avoid NULL pointer dereference in lkmunreserve() called on lkm device
close when ksym_addsymtab() fails for the temporary symbol table
(sanity change only, this can never happen at the moment)
* only add the symbol table for the current module if the LKM_E_LOAD
hook returns success; otherwise we overwrite the LKM_E_LOAD error,
which may ultimately lead to (incorrectly) allowing the module load
* only delete the sumbol table for current module if we actually added
the symbol table; avoids deleting symbol table of previously loaded
module when the same module is loaded twice, when the second load
fails with EEXIST

header files, so that they don't become out of sync (again).
- Use bitmask_snprintf() instead of hand-rolled code.
- Always check array bounds before dereferencing print arrays.
- Order arguments in the vnode printing functions consistently.
1. make fileops const
2. add 2 new negative errno's to `officially' support the cloning hack:
- EDUPFD (used to overload ENODEV)
- EMOVEFD (used to overload ENXIO)
3. Created an fdclone() function to encapsulate the operations needed for
EMOVEFD, and made all cloners use it.
4. Centralize the local noop/badop fileops functions to:
fnullop_fcntl, fnullop_poll, fnullop_kqfilter, fbadop_stat
do { ... } while(/*CONSTCOND*/0)
so that they can be used unadorned in if/else blocks, etc. This means
that you now *have* to put a ; at the end of the "call" to these
macros.
the code that `knows' about /dev/[pt]tyXX names (the BSD ptys) into a separate
file. Make an interface to be used by the tty creating provider. The code
to enable old PTY searching via ptm is enabled via COMPAT_BSDPTY, and it
is turned on by default on all kernels that have compatibility options enabled.
the number of bytes in the send queue, and FIONSPACE reports the
number of free bytes in the send queue. These ioctls permit applications
to monitor file descriptor transmission dynamics.
In examining prior art, FIONWRITE exists with the semantics given
here. FIONSPACE is provided so that programs may easily determine how
much space is left in the send queue; they do not need to know the
send queue size.
The fact that a write may block even if there is enough space in the
send queue for it is noted in the documentation.
FIONWRITE functionality may be used to implement TIOCOUTQ for Linux
emulation - Linux extended this ioctl to sockets, even though they are
not ttys.
- Add a booted_wedge variable that indicates the wedge that was booted
from. If this is NULL, booted_partition is consulted.
- Adjust setroot() and its support routines for root-on-wedges. Could
use some tidy-up, but this works for now.
