for the disk.
- Add a new function, disk_ioctl(), that does generic disk ioctl handling.
DIOCGDISKINFO is handled here now, and others will be added in the future.
- In the wd driver, fill in the dk_info member of struct disk and use the
new disk_ioctl() function.
schemas. Disk information and disk geometry are designed to replace
information currently conveyed to user space using struct disklabel.
- Add a dk_info member to struct disk; a reference to a disk information
dictionary. This dictionary is to be allocated and the reference stored
in struct disk by individual drivers.
- disk_detach0() will release dk_info if non-NULL.
- Convert the wd(4) driver to stash geometry and other disk properties
as the "disk-info" property in its properties dictionary. This needs
some cleanup, but will serve as an example of what to do with other
disk drivers.
The PIOBM is used by only one driver (will be added later,
stay tuned) and intruduce an attribute "ata_piobm" so that
it will be conditionally compiled in.
The "ata_dma" (busmastering transfer using ATA DMA mode) and
"ata_udma" (busmastering transfer using ATA Ultra DMA mode)
attributes are also added for consistency, but unused for now.
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
a u_int64_t variable). Fixes 1 to 2 TB disks in qemu. Tested with
1200GB and to a lesser extent 2047GB sparse files. For reference
an empty FFS1 filesystem on a 1200GB sparse file uses 19GB of disk.
- 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)
and in a better way than what is done in wddump() (which also does it
for DMA transfers, limiting the dump speed significantly). So remove
code splitting transfers in wd->sc_multi chunks from wddump(), and call
wd->atabus->ata_bio() with the whole transfers.
Problem reported by Frank Kardel, and patch tested by him.
