Instead, print a diagnostic and return. (Some drivers do this already.)
Also, normalize the diagnostic message, and fix some places where the
printfs were getting ugly.
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.
as a "timeout", yet there's no specific delay in each iteration. Add
a small delay (10 usec... pretty arbitrary) in each iteration. This
fixes the "fdcresult: timeout" problems I've been having on my 200MHz P6.
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
- 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.
retrying the operation. Fixes disk_unbusy() imbalance and really seems
like the right thing to do in case it was the seek that failed. Takes
care of PR #1985. Patch from John F. Woods <jfw@jfwhome.funhouse.com>
- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
at halt time, especially if a floppy was mounted. Added a shutdown hook
to turn off the motor. Per a request by mycroft, the cookie from the hook
is saved in a new member I added to the fd_softc structure.
wrap the various uses of the chip (including the uses of the NVRAM on it)
around the new defintions, structures, and functions specified in the header.
