possible for a panic to occur if BPF is in use on the interface at the
time of the call to if_detach. This happens because BPF maintains pointers
to the struct ifnet describing the interface, which is freed by if_detach.
To correct this problem, a new call, bpfdetach, is introduced. bpfdetach
locates BPF descriptor references to the interface, and NULLs them. Other
BPF code is modified so that discovery of a NULL interface results in
ENXIO (already implemented for some calls). Processes blocked on a BPF
call will also be woken up so that they can receive ENXIO.
Interface drivers that invoke bpfattach and if_detach must be modified to
also call bpfattach(ifp) before calling if_detach(ifp). This is relevant
for buses that support hot removal, such as pccard and usb. Patches to
all effected devices will not be committed, only to if_wi.c, due to
testing limitations. To reproduce the crash, load up tcpdump on you
favorite pccard ethernet card, and then eject the card. As some pccard
drivers do not invoke if_detach(ifp), this bug will not manifest itself
for those drivers.

-current. It doesn't work yet as stable as the 3.x/PAO version of the
driver does, however, i get occasional `FDC direction bit not set' and
other weird messages, but it basically works at least.
The old (defunct) #ifdef FDC_YE stuff has been eliminated completely
now, PCMCIA-FDC specific functions have been implemented differently
where needed.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that the traditional PeeCee FDC with
its funny non-contiguous register space (one register for WD1003
harddisk controllers is interleaved into the FDC register set), and
Peter's subsequent changes involving two different bus space handles
for normal FDCs, the changes required for the Y-E stuff are more
complex than i'd love them to be. I've done my best to keep the logic
for normal FDCs intact.
Since the Y-E FDC seems to lose interrupts after a FDC reset
sometimes, i've also replaced the timeout logic in fd_turnoff() to
generate an artificial pseudo interrupt in case of a timeout while the
drive has still outstanding transfers waiting. This avoids the total
starvation of the driver that could be observed with highly damaged
media under 3.x/PAO. This part of the patch has been revied by bde
previously.
I've fixed a number of occasions where previous commits have been
missing the encapuslation of ISA DMA related functions inside
FDC_NODMA checks.
I've added one call to SET_BCDR() during preparation of the format
floppy operation. Floppy formatting has been totally broken before in
3.x/PAO (garbage ID fields have been written to the medium, causing
`wrong cylinder' errors upon media reading). This is just black
magic, i don't have the slightes idea _why_ this needs to be but just
copied over the hack that has been used by the PAO folks in the normal
read/write case anyway.
The entired device_busy() stuff seems to be pointless to me. In any
case, i had to add device_unbusy() calls symmetrical to the
device_busy() calls, otherwise the PCMCIA floppy driver could never be
deactivated. (As it used to be, it caused a `mark the device busier
and busier' situation.) IMHO, all block device drivers should be
marked busy based on active buffers still waiting for the driver, so
the device_unbusy() calls should probably go to biodone(). Only one
other driver (whose name escapes me at the moment) uses device_busy()
calls at all, so i question the value of all this...
I think this entire `device busy' logic simply doesn't fit for PCMCIA
&al. It cannot be the decision of some piece of kernel software to
declare a device `busy by now, you can't remove it', when the actual
physical power of removing it is the user pulling the card. The
kernel simply has to cope with the removal, however busy the device
might have been by the time of the removal, period. Perhaps a force
flag needs to be added?
Upon inserting the card a second time, i get:
WARNING: "fd" is usurping "fd"'s cdevsw[]
WARNING: "fd" is usurping "fd"'s bmaj
I suspect this is related to the XXX comment at the call to
cdevsw_add(). Does anybody know what the correct way is to cleanup
this?

the unwary if the code were called in slightly different ways.
1) In ufs_bmaparray() the code for calculating 'runb' will stop one block
short of the first entry in an indirect block. i.e. if an indirect block
contains N block numbers b[0]..b[N-1] then the code will never check if
b[0] and b[1] are sequential. For reference, compare with the equivalent
code that deals with direct blocks.
2) In ufs_lookup() there is an off-by-one error in the test that checks
if dp->i_diroff is outside the range of the the current directory size.
This is completely harmless, since the following while-loop condition
'dp->i_offset < endsearch' is never met, so the code immediately
does a second pass starting at dp->i_offset = 0.
3) Again in ufs_lookup(), the condition in a sanity check is wrong
for directories that are longer than one block. This bug means that
the sanity check is only effective for small directories.

we get the com address. If so, we go ahead and return. Bruce thinks
there's a bug in the pccard layer that it terminates devices with
extreme prejustice rather than letting them deside for themselves when
to terminate (and he's likely right). This fix doesn't change that,
but instead works around it by checking for NULL pointers at more
places than before.
The detach routine still calls functions at interrupt level that
aren't reentrant. In theory this could cause a problem, but none
showed up in practice. Future versions should correct this problem,
likely by making the detach process a thread/process at the pccard
level. NEWCARD will do this, and the current pccard layer should
likely be modified to that as well, should it live long enough.
