The kernel does not log floppy media errors anymore.
In fdcontrol, do always open the file descriptor in read-only mode so
it can operate on read-only media, as there is no longer a separate
control device to operate on.
because it sets the floppy controller parameters, which requires O_RDWR.
Specifically, the FD_SOPTS ioctl requires this, and the code errors out
and aborts if it can't do it. Among other things, it is changing the
FDOPT_NOERRLOG flag. Broken in 6.0 as well.
fdcontrol/fdcontrol.c:
- Add const constraint to an intermediate value
which is not supposed to be changed elsewhere.
fdread/fdread.c:
- Use _devname in favor of devname to avoid name
conflicit.
- -1 is less than any positive number so in order
to get the block to function, we should get the
block a little earlier.
- Cast to remove signed when we are sure that a
return value is positive, or is compared with
an positive number (tracknumber of a floppy
disk is not likely to have UINT_MAX/2 anyway)
fdread/fdutil.c:
- Use more specific initializer
fdwrite/fdwrite.c:
- Use static on format_track since it's not
referenced in other places.
- Use const char* to represent string constant.
Bump WARNS accordingly.
Its main purpose is to adapt automatically to the floppy parameters
(in particular the track size for efficient reading), and to allow a
simple error recovery for CRC-errored sectors. Requires the newly
added fdc(4) options.
