practice, but it is a good programming practice and allows the kernel to not
depend on userland correctness.
- While there, make sizeof usage match the rest of the code.

error on the request. Add a wrapper, gctl_set_param_err(), that
sets the error on the request from the error returned by
gctl_set_param() and update current callers of gctl_set_param()
to call gctl_set_param_err() instead.
This makes gctl_set_param() much more usable in situations where
the caller knows better what to do with certain (apparent) error
conditions and setting an error on the request is not one of the
things that need to be done.
shown that it is not useful.
Rename the relative count g_access_rel() function to g_access(), only
the name has changed.
Change all g_access_rel() calls in our CVS tree to call g_access() instead.
Add an #ifndef BURN_BRIDGES #define of g_access_rel() for source
code compatibility.
device should handle them.
This prevents for instance GEOM::ioctl requests from reaching a
lower BSDlabel node, which ps@ found would confuse newfs(8).
Attach to the component devices using GEOM semantics.
Create a GEOM provider instead of using disk_create()
Use the GEOM OAM api for configuration.
I saw approx ~1% speedup in througput and ~7% in latency in a
simple minded test of a two-disk striped device.
This file was repo-copied from src/sys/dev/ccd/ccd.c.
This is not yet linked into the build.
Change the list interface to simplify things.
Remove old list ioctls which bogusly exported the softc to userland.
Move the softc and associated structures from the public header to
the source file.
Make CCD a GEOM class.
For now only use this for implementing a OAM config method which
can return a list of configured CCD devices in the format which
"ccdconfig -g[v]" would normally output.
Retain the mistake of not updating the devstat API for now.
Spell bioq_disksort() consistently with the remaining bioq_*().
#include <geom/geom_disk.h> where this is more appropriate.
in geom_disk.c.
As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

Change the argument to disk_destroy() to be the same struct disk * as
disk_create() takes.
This enables drivers to ignore the (now) bogus dev_t which disk_create()
returns.
CAUTION:
Previously CCD would be different from all other disks in
the system in that there were no "ccd0" device, only a
"ccd0c" device.
This is no longer so after this commit. If you access a
ccd device through the "/dev/ccd0c" device _and_ have not
actually put a BSD disklabel on the device, you will have
to use the name "/dev/ccd0". If your CCD device contains
a BSD disklabel there should be no difference.
You need to recompile ccdconfig(8) using the changed
src/sys/sys/ccdvar.h for the -g "show me" option to work.
I have run the regression test I created before I started
overhauling CCD and it flags no problems, but this code
is mildly evil, so take care. If you would cry if you lost
what's on CCD, make a back before you upgrade.
Create separate cdevsw for the /dev/ccd.ctl device.
Remove the cloning function, the disk-minilayer will do all naming
for us.
Remove the ccdunit and ccdpart functions and carry the softc pointer
in the relevant dev_t's and structures.
Release all memory when a CCD device is unconfigured, previously
the softc would linger behind.
Remove all traces of BSD disklabel fiddling code.
Remove ccdpsize, the disk mini-layer does this for us.
Don't allocate memory with M_WAITOK in ccdstrategy().
Remove boundary checks which the disk mini-layer does for us.
Don't allocate space for more than 2 ccdbuf, RAID was never implemented.
NB: I have not tried to address any of the preexisting ailments of CCD.
and can be added back selectively, should anybody start to interest
themselves for the internal workings of ccd.
This commit will make the diffs for the following commits much more
readable.
the three configuration ioctls which need a unit number.
Add a "ccd.ctl" device for config operations.
Implement ioctls on ccd.ctl which rely on the explicityly passed
unit numbers.
Update ccdconfig to use the new ccd.ctl interface.
Add code to the kernel to detect old ccdconfig binaries, and whine
about it.
Add code to ccdconfig to detect old kernels, and whine about it.
These two compatibility measures will be retained only for a limited
period since they are in the way of GEOM'ification of ccd.
and predictable way, and I apologize if I have gotten it wrong anywhere,
getting prior review on a patch like this is not feasible, considering
the number of people involved and hardware availability etc.)
If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)
