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.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.
convert various file systems to use the <sys/queue.h> macros for
their hash tables.
in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
'const char *', and 'void *', respectively. The second arg is taken directly
from user arguments, and is const there, so must be const in the prototypes
and functions. The third arg is also taken directly from user arguments.
It doesn't have to be changed, but since it's cleaner to keep the type
the same as the user arg's type, and I'm already making the 'const char *'
change...
