families. The protosw[] array of any particular protocol family ("domain") is of fixed size defined at compile time. This made it impossible to dynamically add or remove any protocols to or from it. We work around this by introducing so called SPACER's which are embedded into the protosw[] array at compile time. The SPACER's have a special protocol number (32767) to indicate the fact that they are SPACER's but are otherwise NULL. Only as many protocols can be dynamically loaded as SPACER's are provided in the protosw[] structure. The pr_usrreqs structure is treated more special and contains pointers to dummy functions only returning EOPNOTSUPP. This is needed because the use of those functions pointers is usually not checked within the kernel because until now it was assumed to be a valid function pointer. Instead of fixing all potential callers we just return a proper error code. Two new functions provide a clean API to register and unregister a protocol. The register function expects a pointer to a valid and complete struct protosw including a pointer to struct pru_usrreqs provided by the caller. Upon successful registration the pr_init() function will be called to finish initialization of the protocol. The unregister function restores the SPACER in place of the protocol again. It is the responseability of the caller to ensure proper closing of all sockets and freeing of memory allocation by the unloading protocol. sys/protosw.h o Define generic PROTO_SPACER to be 32767 o Prototypes for all pru_*_notsupp() functions o Prototypes for pf_proto_[un]register() functions kern/uipc_domain.c o Global struct pr_usrreqs nousrreqs containing valid pointers to the pru_*_notsupp() functions o New functions pf_proto_[un]register() kern/uipc_socket2.c o New functions bodies for all pru_*_notsupp() functions |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
