the number of partitions is > OLDMAXPARTITIONS. This is better
than silently truncating the label (don't want to silently throw
away partitions when using an old disklabel binary on a label with
> 8 partitions). From Enami Tsugutomo.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
command (unlock for sd and cd) if no other partitions are open, return
EBUSY otherwise. DIOCEJECT will have the old semantic if its argument is not
0. The old ioctl has been renamed to ODIOCEJECT for binary compatibility.
Before, the probe routine (mcd_find() would succeed even if the probe
code thought it had a response, but didn't recognize the ID-code byte.
Now, only do the promiscuous match if MCD_PROMISC is configured.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
the CDIOC* calls correctly, improve performance by 10x when interrupts work,
and implement the same generic disk framework as other drivers.
Needs some more work.
round: moving the drivers into a machine-independent directory.
Some drivers (e.g. fd.c) not moved because they use other pc features (e.g.
CMOS settings), and none of the non-driver files moved, because they're
still pretty much PC specific. eventually (when other ports with ISA
busses really start using this code), more 'high-level' ISA support will
live here.
