456fbc3125 Don't call a dump routine if there isn't one. (e.g. in floppy driver) 1998-05-06 23:32:48 +00:00

afcdc872dc Bad144 support for the slice system (!)
Submitted by: luoqi@watermarkgroup.com (Luoqi Chen)

I'm amazed by this. Slice has only been checked in for 2 days..

26d3bf5f1b close() is no longer a SLICE method.
Close is simply an open with no-read and no-write once internal to SLICE
(it still exports a close to the rest of the kernel)

3e425b968d Add changes and code to implement a functional DEVFS.
This code will be turned on with the TWO options
DEVFS and SLICE. (see LINT)
Two labels PRE_DEVFS_SLICE and POST_DEVFS_SLICE will deliniate these changes.

/dev will be automatically mounted by init (thanks phk)
on bootup. See /sys/dev/slice/slice.4 for more info.
All code should act the same without these options enabled.

Mike Smith, Poul Henning Kamp, Soeren, and a few dozen others

This code does not support the following:
bad144 handling.
Persistance. (My head is still hurting from the last time we discussed this)
ATAPI flopies are not handled by the SLICE code yet.

When this code is running, all major numbers are arbitrary and COULD
be dynamically assigned. (this is not done, for POLA only)
Minor numbers for disk slices ARE arbitray and dynamically assigned.
