#
|
|
# This file contains a list of branches that exist in the NetBSD CVS
|
|
# tree and their current state.
|
|
#
|
|
# This list is necessarily incomplete.
|
|
#
|
|
# Within reason, developers may create branch and version tags at any
|
|
# time for any purpose. To avoid name collisions, private tags should
|
|
# have names which begin with the developer's NetBSD login name
|
|
# followed by a - or _ character (e.g., thorpej_scsipi,
|
|
# thorpej-signal)
|
|
#
|
|
# Any branch or version tag not listed here should be assumed to be
|
|
# private to the developer who created it. It is inappropriate for
|
|
# anyone other than that developer to commit, move tags, or otherwise
|
|
# modify the contents of the branch.
|
|
#
|
|
# Please update this file when a new branch is ready for consumption
|
|
# by folks other than the maintainer, or when the use or status of an
|
|
# existing branch changes significantly.

can be found at

|
|
Many ideas in the implementation are based on the
|
|
implementation of scheduler activations added to Mach
|
|
3.0 and described by Davis et al. in the University of
|
|
Washington CS tech report 92-08-93, which can be found

Notes:
|
|
Code committed to the branch has booted to multiuser
|
|
on at least one system.
|
|
|
|
Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current
|
|
may have changed incompatibly with the last branch update;
|
|
use "cvs update -D" to roll-back the rest of the tree to match.
|
|
|
|
Please get explicit permission from the maintainer
|
|
before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.
|
|
Other tags starting with sommerfeld_ are private to
|
|
the developer and are guaranteed to be unstable.
|
|
Only the maintainer should move tags.
|
|
|
|
Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for
|
|
synching with the mainline. the maintainer uses some private
|
|
scripts for keeping them in synch; if you make commits
|
|
to the branch to "resynchronize" things, you'll
|
|
probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to
|
|
resynchronize things.

sure it's working.

PlayStation 2.

Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
|
|
of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
|
|
file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
|
|
in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
|
|
pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
|
|
a mapping going on between the VM system and the
|
|
underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
|
|
to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
|
|
Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
|
|
with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
|
|
deal.

|
Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.
