Support non-blocking reads from USB printers. With this, escputil can
query the printer model, and I can print a test page with gutenprint
5.1 and cups. Add many comments explaining why the support is not
quite right. (This change is quite a bit less invasive than a
"correct" fix, and thus more reasonable to pull up to netbsd-4.)
Rototill debugging, so that all DPRINTFN have a level, and so that the
message is printed if the debug level is >= the number in the source
code. Document debug level plan.
Fix bug where only one status change would be printed (by inspection,
not tested).
Document scheme for reading/discarding data when ulpt(4) is opened for
write only.
Delete dead code.
Plan and patch posted on tech-kern without objections.
matching (and handling) a whole device and those which match an
interface only. This will allow to enforce some rules, eg that
the former don't use interface information for matching or that the
latter don't modify global device state.
The previous way left too much freedom do the drivers which led to
inconsistencies and abuse.
For now, I've not changed locators and submatch rules, this will
happen later.
There should not be any change in behaviour, except in the case of
some drivers which did behave inconsistently:
if_atu, if_axe, uep: matched the configured device in the interface
stage, but did configuration again. I've converted them to match
in the device stage.
ustir, utoppy: matched in the interface stage, but only against
vendor/device information, and used any configuration/interface
without checking. Changed to match in device stage, and added
some simple code to configure and use the first interface.
If you have one of those devices, please test!
* Implement read for ulpt.
* If the device is not opened for reading, occasionally drain any
data the printer might have (but don't hammer the printer with reads).
* Lower the buffer size to one page.
The driver seems to work with more printers now.
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
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)

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.
This is the way that e.g. HP recommends (but then some of their printers
have a bug that makes the input pipe useless anyway).
Also try reset both the 1.0 and 1.1 ways.
