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.
would be overwritten, so allocate memory for a full packet via malloc()
instead. Use correct buffer maxlen (must be 2 complemet). Bug reported
and helped to find by Roar Thronæs.
- implement SIMPLEQ_REMOVE(head, elm, type, field). whilst it's O(n),
this mirrors the functionality of SLIST_REMOVE() (the other
singly-linked list type) and FreeBSD's STAILQ_REMOVE()
- remove the unnecessary elm arg from SIMPLEQ_REMOVE_HEAD().
this mirrors the functionality of SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD() (the other
singly-linked list type) and FreeBSD's STAILQ_REMOVE_HEAD()
- remove notes about SIMPLEQ not supporting arbitrary element removal
- use SIMPLEQ_FOREACH() instead of home-grown for loops
- use SIMPLEQ_EMPTY() appropriately
- use SIMPLEQ_*() instead of accessing sqh_first,sqh_last,sqe_next directly
- reorder manual page; be consistent about how the types are listed
- other minor cleanups
Be more informative about the state of the disk (locked, unloaded etc...)
Send NULL as proc pointer to bus_dma_load if B_PHYS is not set.
Break out softc's from rl.c to rlvar.h for inclusion elsewhere.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
