that tells whether the given path is in user space or kernel space, so it
can tell NDINIT().
While the raidframe calls were ok, both ccd(4) and cgd(4) were passing
pointers to user space data, which leads to strange error on i386, as
reported by Jukka Salmi on current-users.
The issue has been there since last august, I'm actually a bit surprised
that no one in the meantime has used ccd(4) or cgd(4) on an arch where it
would have simply faulted.
- 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)
o expect the disk's start routine to return an int. If the
int is non-zero, we enqueue the request and try again
later.
o have a dk_start() routine which runs the request queue.
o have a dk_iodone() function which should be called by the
driver using the framwork from its iodone. dk_iodone will
retry the queue since presumably further progress may be
possible once a request is complete. It is required that
the underlying driver have the resources to keep at least
one transaction in flight at any time.
Modified cgd to:
o be able to keep one transaction in flight at any time
(almost) by keeping a buffer of size MAXPHYS in its softc
and use it.
We still need to make the cgd_cbufpool per device rather than global
and provide a low water mark for it.
Addresses PR: kern/24715
(at least according to the submitter.)
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
