- initialize it properly in the bus front-ends (all 2, exept in wdc_pcmcia.c
for the "Sandisk CompactFlash Card" where it's set to 1)
- remplace hardcoded '2' by ata_channel->ch_ndrive in MI IDE drivers.
From Christos Zoulas in kern/32501.
- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
wdc_regs structure, and array of which (indexed per channel) is pointed
to by struct wdc_softc.
- Move the resulting wdc_channel structure to atavar.h and rename it to
ata_channel. Rename the corresponding flags.
- Add a "ch_ndrive" member to struct ata_channel, which indicates the
maximum number of drives that can be present on the channel. For now,
this is always 2. Add an ATA_MAXDRIVES constant that places an upper
limit on this value, also currently 2.
registers are registers that overlap with others on many controllers, but
which may actually be distinct on some controllers. Right now, the two
shadows are:
- wd_status (usually overlaps wd_command)
- wd_features (usually overlaps wd_error)
Add a new helper function, wdc_init_shadow_regs(), used to initialize
the shadow register handles on controllers where they do actually overlap.
Partially from Jordan Rhody @ Wasabi Systems, Inc.
- wdc_xfer to ata_xfer
- channel_queue to ata_queue
and move them to <dev/ata/atavar.h> so they can be used by non-wdc ATA
controllers. Clean up the member names of these structures while at it.
most polling.
2) Clean up some goofiness in pciide -- get rid of the whole "candisable" path
(it's gratuitous) and simplify the code by calling pciide_map_compat_intr(),
*_set_modes() and wdc_print_modes() from central locations.
3) Add a register writability and register ghost test to eliminate phantom
drives more quickly.
- 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.
* Use a common set of exception handlers for all arm32 platforms.
* New FIQ framework based on discussions with Ben Harris, shared
between arm26 and arm32.
The IOMD/VIDC combination is now moved to arch/arm/iomd together. These
files still need a lot of cleaning up :( .... esp. the RC7500 support that
is still dormant in it; this needs either to be removed or split out for
RC7500's ``VIDC'' video/audio variant.
Apart from the RC7500 support wich is still in arch/arm32 the
iomd,vidc,riscpc and podulebus subdirectories of arch/arm32 can be removed.
This split still uses some small parts of arch/arm32 .... those are the MI
parts that haven't been moved yet.
RiscPC/A7000 have been tested and confirmed to build as should NC.
