("CTLMODE") subdevice. There are legitimate uses for raw commands with
normal tape handles too.
[I'm not sure if this is a final solution. Administrators might want
to set up a more finegrained policy. However, this should not be mixed
with the "set defaults" semantics of the "CTLMODE" subdevice; another
flag should be used instead (eg execute permission or a minor number bit).]
1) Quirk entries for Storage Tek 9490 (Timberline) and D3 (Redwood)
drives.
2) Modification to st_loadtape to do a REWIND to BOT if the
action is a load and the tape doesn't support the LOAD command
(9490, SD3, and IBM 3590).
3) Cleaned up the 'undersized user record' error message to
make a little more sense.
Various bug fixes:
kern/1275: Now returns values in dsreg and erreg and sets resid
(as best as it can for a 16 but integer). See also
a recent change to mtio.h. We are declining to fix
the portion of this bug about naming a more specific
SCSI device. Since there is nothing programmatic
you can do with that information, it is not useful
to pass back at this time.
A side effect of this change is that doing MTIOCGET
also forces a mode sense (to get the current state
of WRITE PROTECT).
kern/5647: Now no longer logs to the console ILI or Filemark or (first)
EOM (on write) errors (unless SCSIDEBUG is set).
kern/5525: Substantially increased timeouts for a variety of
operations, and split them into categories of
I/O, Space, and Control operations (each have
likely different inherent times). I/O is for
reads/writes. Control is for mode sense/select.
Space is for spacing the tape.
Until EOM handling is changed, though kern/391 is still not fixed. A side
effect of EOM handling is that you now always 'lose' (to the writing
application's view) the last write since EIO is what is returned on
EOM detection during writes. Hopefully the reader applications don't
get too bent out of shape by this.
pseudo-device rnd # /dev/random and in-kernel generator
in config files.
o Add declaration to all architectures.
o Clean up copyright message in rnd.c, rnd.h, and rndpool.c to include
that this code is derived in part from Ted Tyso's linux code.
- dereference a pointer to function explicitly.
- fold long line to fit columns < 80.
- put whitespaces around a binary operator.
- don't put a single statement into a block.
about actual position when reading tape position, you should flush any
pending writes. Well, if the tape is write protected, some drives don't
see the zero count WRITE FILE MARK command as a no-op and complain. Dumb!
- Indent with tab of width 8.
- Use four column to indent continuation line.
- Fold long line if possible.
- Use return (xx) instead of return xx.
- Compare pointer against NULL instead of testing like boolean.
- Delete whitespace at the end of line.
- Delete whitespace in front of function call operator.
- Delete whitespace after cast.
- Dereference a pointer to function explicitly.
- Add an empty line after local variable declaration.
- Use NULL instead of (char *)0.
- Dont use block for single statement.
The method for doing this is to try and use the DATA COMPRESSION mode page
first, followed by the DEVICE CONFIGURATION page (this is because most newer
tape devices are now using DATA COMPRESSION instead of DEVICE CONFIGURATION
pages).
Add in the logical && hardware read position and set position ioctls. Oddly
enough, because NetBSD is limited in having the driver track file && record
numbers, the usual agony over what to do once you use logical or hardware
block positioning can be avoided. Amusing.
Make a minor change so that for SCSIVERBOSE cases that SCSI_SILENT in
the xs' flags is still observed.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
all attempts to mode select, even if the attempted mode is supported.
Add the ST_Q_UNIMODAL quirk for the HP Colorado T4000s which exhibits
this behavior. (Someone please lob a tactical nuke in that direction.)

- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
