. FD_CLRERR clears the error counter, thus re-enables kernel error
printf()s,
. FD_GSTAT obtains the last FDC operation state, if any,
. FDOPT_NOERRLOG (temporarily) turns off kernel printf() floppy
error logging,
. FDOPT_NOERROR makes the kernel ignore an FDC error, thus can
enable the transfer of an erroneous sector to the user application
All options are being cleared on (last) close.
Prime consumer of the last features will be fdread(1), to be committed
shortly.
(FD_CLRERR should be wired into fdcontrol(8), but then fdcontrol(8)
needs a major rewrite anyway.)
When people access /dev/tty, locate their controlling tty and return
the dev_t of it to them. This basically makes /dev/tty act like
a variant symlink sort of thing which is much simpler than all the
mucking about with vnodes.
For memory for the pccard attribute/common memory mapping allocate on
the pccard. For other allocations, use whatever is the parent of this
device. There's no doubt other issues lurking, but this should make
things closer to being independent.
- Since polling should not involve sleeping, keep holding a
process lock upon scanning file descriptors.
- Hold a reference to every file descriptor prior to entering
polling loop in order to avoid lock order reversal between
lockmgr and p_mtx upon calling fdrop() in fo_poll().
(NOTE: this work has not been done for netncp and netsmb
yet because a socket itself has no reference counts.)

the resource activation if we're dealing with our grandchild.
Otherwise, we run into two problems. One, if the pccard layer wanted
to allocate and activate something, we'd wind up trying to do the
wrong thing twice: the ivars are wrong and we don't want the bridge to
map the resource to the slot. If we're more than a grandchild, then
who knows what kind of ivar is present. In either of these cases, we
just pass it up the food chain.
comes in for it, the file is really gone, so return ESTALE.
The problem arises when the last reference to an FFS file is
released because soft-updates may delay the actual freeing of the
inode for some time. Since there are no filesystem links or open
file descriptors referencing the inode, from the point of view of
the system, the file is inaccessible. However, if the filesystem
is NFS exported, then the remote client can still access the inode
via ufs_fhtovp() until the inode really goes away. To prevent this
anomoly, it is necessary to begin returning ESTALE at the same time
that the file ceases to be accessible to the local filesystem.

If for some reason DEVFS is undesired, the "NODEVFS" option is

Pending any significant issues, DEVFS will be made mandatory in

benefits of having it.
pcb for fork(). It was possible for the state to be saved twice when an
interrupt handler saved it concurrently. This corrupted (reset) the state
because fnsave has the (in)convenient side effect of doing an implicit
fninit. Mundane null pointer bugs were not possible, because we save to
an "arbitrary" process's pcb and not to the "right" place (npxproc).
Push the parent's %gs to the pcb for fork(). Changes to %gs before
fork() were not preserved in the child unless an accidental context
switch did the pushing. Updated the list of pcb contents which is
supposed to inhibit bugs like this. pcb_dr*, pcb_gs and pcb_ext were
missing. Copying is correct for pcb_dr*, and pcb_ext is already
handled specially (although XXX'ly).
Reducing the savectx() call to an npxsave() call in rev.1.80 was a
mistake. The above bugs are duplicated in many places, including in
savectx() itself.
The arbitraryness of the parent process pointer for the fork()
subroutines, the pcb pointer for savectx(), and the save87 pointer
for npxsave(), is illusory. These functions don't work "right" unless
the pointers are precisely curproc, curpcb, and the address of npxproc's
save87 area, respectively, although the special context in which they
are called allows savectx(&dumppcb) to sort of work and npxsave(&dummy)
to work. cpu_fork() just doesn't work unless the parent process
pointer is curproc, or the caller has pushed %gs to the pcb, or %gs
happens to already be in the pcb.

Recent versions of linuxthreads use %gs for thread-specific data,
