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.
program opens /dev/tun# and tun# has not been SIOCIFCREATE'd already,
it will be SIOCIFCREATE'd automatically. FreeBSD's tun interfaces
behave in a somewhat similar fashion.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
- ability to be either a BROADCAST or POINTTOPOINT interface.
- a humble beginning of link-layer addressing (differs from PR
by using a `struct sockaddr' instead of single byte).
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
* Convert several data structures to use queue.h.
* Split in_pcbnotify() into two parts; one for notifying a specific PCB, and
one for notifying all PCBs for a particular foreign address.
