kernel to the file server for silly things the file server did,
e.g. attempting to create a file with size VSIZENOTSET. The file
server can handle these as it chooses, but the default action is
for it to throw its hands in the air and sing "goodbye, cruel world,
it's over, walk on by".
a number of changes have been made for LKM and
preemption safety. [ad 20070927]
i386: i386 bootblocks are now able to boot amd64 kernels.
support for a.out kernels has been removed [ad 20070927]
was done separate of inserting the cookie into the lookup structure
and without any form of interlock. This could lead to the same
cookie pointing to two different nodes. Remedy the race by creating
a separate "checked and ready to be inserted" cookie list which
serves as an interlock without having to hold a fs-global creation
lock.
avoid wasting unbelievable amounts of memory, set the blocksize to
something more believable. Should fix the memset-part to act only
up to the size the file is extended to, though.
- Replace most inline assembly with proper functions. As a side effect
this reduces the size of amd64 GENERIC by about 120kB, and i386 by a
smaller amount. Nearly all of the inlines did something slow, or something
that does not need to be fast.
- Make curcpu() and curlwp functions proper, unless __GNUC__ && _KERNEL.
In that case make them inlines. Makes curlwp LKM and preemption safe.
- Make bus_space and bus_dma more LKM friendly.
- Share a few more files between the ports.
- Other minor changes.
With this my O2 resets and powers down again even when using crmfb,
apparently it freaks out the ARCS firmware - with crmfb the machine would
just sit there blinking instead of rebooting.
+ fix a reported problem with newer versions of FreeBSD which require
a block of data to be read and written, rather than a single byte.
+ add support for Extended Inquiry Data VPD Page (0x86), reported to be
necessary to interoperate with the AIX initiator.
+ add preliminary support for the Write and Verify SCSI operation (0x2e).
writable, do the touch(1) dance with 512 bytes of information, rather
than just a single byte - the single byte read and write causes
problems on newer versions of FreeBSD, I am informed. Patch from
Andrey Yakovlev, cleaned up to compile by myself.
