All TCP ISNs that are sent out are valid cookies, which allows entries
in the syncache to be dropped and still have the ACK accepted later.
As all entries pass through the syncache, there is no sudden switchover
from cache -> cookies when the cache is full; instead, syncache entries
simply have a reduced lifetime. More details may be found in the

. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
commonly used media densities. So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
asked. It's all that easy, isn't it? :)
. Device density handling has been completely overhauled. The old way
of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there. Instead,
the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive. The first
subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
devices are freely programmable. They can be assigned an arbitrary
name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
depending on the taste of the administrator. After creating a
subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
densities by using fdcontrol(8). Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.
. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
devices down from the loader via device flags. On IA32
architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
configuration records though. On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
assumed.
. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.
. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention. (Can
be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
perform the autoselection.)
. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
it -- not all do these days).
. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
only a few ioctls are accepted. This is necessary to run fdformat
on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).
. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
the chips anyway.
BUGS and TODOs:
. All documentation update still needs to be done.
. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
have yet to figure out why this happens. "Standard" formats like
720 and 1440 KB do work, however.
. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).
. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
really detected. Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.

select/poll, and therefore with pthreads. I doubt there is any way
to make this 100% semantically identical to the way it behaves in
unthreaded programs with blocking reads, but the solution here
should do the right thing for all reasonable usage patterns.
The basic idea is to schedule a callout for the read timeout when a
select/poll is done. When the callout fires, it ends the select if
it is still in progress, or marks the state as "timed out" if the
select has already ended for some other reason. Additional logic in
bpfread then does the right thing in the case where the timeout has
fired.
Note, I co-opted the bd_state member of the bpf_d structure. It has
been present in the structure since the initial import of 4.4-lite,
but as far as I can tell it has never been used.

Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

* When flusing a dirty buffer due to B_CACHE getting cleared,
we were accidently setting B_CACHE again (that is, bwrite() sets
B_CACHE), when we really want it to stay clear after the write
is complete. This resulted in a corrupt buffer. (applicable
to all filesystems but probably only triggered by NFS)
* We have to call vtruncbuf() when ftruncate()ing to remove
any buffer cache buffers. This is still tentitive, I may
be able to remove it due to the second bug fix. (applicable
to NFS client side)
* vnode_pager_setsize() race against nfs_vinvalbuf()... we have
to set n_size before calling nfs_vinvalbuf or the NFS code
may recursively vnode_pager_setsize() to the original value
before the truncate. This is what was causing the user mmap

when taking a snapshot. The two time consuming operations are
scanning all the filesystem bitmaps to determine which blocks
are in use and scanning all the other snapshots so as to be able
to expunge their blocks from the view of the current snapshot.
The bitmap scanning is broken into two passes. Before suspending
the filesystem all bitmaps are scanned. After the suspension,
those bitmaps that changed after being scanned the first time
are rescanned. Typically there are few bitmaps that need to be
rescanned. The expunging of other snapshots is now done after
the suspension is released by observing that we can easily
identify any blocks that were allocated to them after the
suspension (they will be maked as `not needing to be copied'
in the just created snapshot). For all the gory details, see

block of a file must always be allocated, the hole is filled by
allocating a block at that location. If the hole being filled is

updates, it is necessary to FSYNC the file after allocating the

- The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI
struct pcpu. The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in
machine/pcpu.h. A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the
interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs.
PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)).
- All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead. In a UP kernel,
this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining
machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h.
- The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from
npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures.
- Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD
fields.
- The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now
init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with
the internal array and list.
- A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the
internal array and list.

the response queue. Instead of the ad hoc ISP_SWIZZLE_REQUEST, we now have
a complete set of inline functions in isp_inline.h. Each platform is
responsible for providing just one of a set of ISP_IOX_{GET,PUT}{8,16,32}
macros.
The reason this needs to be done is that we need to have a single set of
functions that will work correctly on multiple architectures for both little
and big endian machines. It also needs to work correctly in the case that
we have the request or response queues in memory that has to be treated
specially (e.g., have ddi_dma_sync called on it for Solaris after we update
it or before we read from it). It also has to handle the SBus cards (for
platforms that have them) which, while on a Big Endian machine, do *not*
require *most* of the request/response queue entry fields to be swizzled
or unswizzled.
One thing that falls out of this is that we no longer build requests in the
request queue itself. Instead, we build the request locally (e.g., on the
stack) and then as part of the swizzling operation, copy it to the request
queue entry we've allocated. I thought long and hard about whether this was
too expensive a change to make as it in a lot of cases requires an extra
copy. On balance, the flexbility is worth it. With any luck, the entry that
we build locally stays in a processor writeback cache (after all, it's only
64 bytes) so that the cost of actually flushing it to the memory area that is
the shared queue with the PCI device is not all that expensive. We may examine
this again and try to get clever in the future to try and avoid copies.
Another change that falls out of this is that MEMORYBARRIER should be taken
a lot more seriously. The macro ISP_ADD_REQUEST does a MEMORYBARRIER on the
entry being added. But there had been many other places this had been missing.
It's now very important that it be done.
Additional changes:
Fix a longstanding buglet of sorts. When we get an entry via isp_getrqentry,
the iptr value that gets returned is the value we intend to eventually plug
into the ISP registers as the entry *one past* the last one we've written-
*not* the current entry we're updating. All along we've been calling sync
functions on the wrong index value. Argh. The 'fix' here is to rename all
'iptr' variables as 'nxti' to remember that this is the 'next' pointer-
not the current pointer.
Devote a single bit to mboxbsy- and set aside bits for output mbox registers
that we need to pick up- we can have at least one command which does not
have any defined output registers (MBOX_EXECUTE_FIRMWARE).
