a quick think and discussion among various people some form of some of
these changes will probably be recommitted.
The reversion requested was requested by dg while discussions proceed.
PHK has indicated that he can live with this, and it has been agreed
that some form of some of these changes may return shortly after further
discussion.
the highly non-recommended option ALLOW_BDEV_ACCESS is used.
(bdev access is evil because you don't get write errors reported.)
Kill si_bsize_best before it kills Matt :-)
Use the specfs routines rather having cloned copies in devfs.
Diskslice/label code not yet handled.
Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)
Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c
The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.
A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.
A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().
Introduce BUF_STRATEGY(struct buf *, int flag) macro, and use it throughout.
please see comment in sys/conf.h about the flag argument.
Remove strategy argument from all the diskslice/label/bad144
implementations, it should be found from the dev_t.
Remove bogus and unused strategy1 routines.
Remove open/close arguments from dssize(). Pick them up from dev_t.
Remove unused and unfinished setgeom support from diskslice/label/bad144 code.
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

a raw partition at a nonzero offset (EINVAL should have been EXDEV;
DIOCSDINFO was broken, and DIOCWDINFO was broken because it depended
on DIOCSDINFO).
A zero offset for the raw partition should probably be enforced in
setdisklabel(), and DIOCWDINFO should probably always be handled by
first calling setdisklabel() so that writedisklabel() doesn't need to
enforce it, but this has never been done; dsioctl() has a special
check. Changes in this commit are limited to dsioctl() to preserve
bug for bug compatibility in drivers that don't use the slice code
(notably the ccd driver, which allows setting a bogus label in
DIOCWDINFO and doesn't undo the setting when writedisklabel() fails).
and DSO_NOLABELS flags prevent searching for slices and labels
respectively. Current drivers don't set these flags. When
DSO_NOLABELS is set, the in-core label for the whole disk is cloned
to create an in-core label for each slice. This gives the correct
result (a good in-core label for the compatibility slice) if
DSO_ONESLICE is set or only one slice is found, but usually gives
broken labels otherwise, so DSO_ONESLICE should be set if DSO_NOLABELS
is set.
protection checks. Using the partition-relative blkno in some
parts broke the write protection for partitions at unusual
offsets (only for partitions at offset 1 on i386's).
best place to set it, and the wd and wfd strategy routines don't
set it (for failed transfers) because they expect dscheck() to
initialize everything necessary. dscheck() has always set B_ERROR,
but this is not quite sufficient, because b_resid is used by physio()
to decide how much of a B_ERROR'ed i/o was done.
Callers only need to initialize d_secperunit now, but should
initialize d_type (to reduce the IDE/SCSI confusion), d_typename
(put the disk model in it) and geometry info (if it isn't completely
ficticious). Callers will soon need to initialize d_secsize.
normally only defined in opt_devfs.h, so testing it before including
anything is normally a no-op. Undef'ing DEVFS before including
opt_devfs.h is similarly useless. OTOH, DEVFS support for sliced
but not SLICEd (despite defined(SLICE)) devices is either harmless
(if there are no such devices, then nothing in this file is used)
or necessary (otherwise). It even seems to work for sliced cd
devices.
There is only cdevsw (which should be renamed in a later edit to deventry
or something). cdevsw contains the union of what were in both bdevsw an
cdevsw entries. The bdevsw[] table stiff exists and is a second pointer
to the cdevsw entry of the device. it's major is in d_bmaj rather than
d_maj. some cleanup still to happen (e.g. dsopen now gets two pointers
to the same cdevsw struct instead of one to a bdevsw and one to a cdevsw).
rawread()/rawwrite() went away as part of this though it's not strictly
the same patch, just that it involves all the same lines in the drivers.
cdroms no longer have write() entries (they did have rawwrite (?)).
tapes no longer have support for bdev operations.

Changes suggested by eivind.
The slices "struct" isn't really a struct; we allocate only part of
it in the fully dangerously dedicated case. Since the "struct" is
malloced, the page beyond it may not be mapped, so attempts to copy
it would crash. This problem became larger when the full struct was
bloated from < 1K to > 3K by the addition of (mostly unused) DEVFS
tokens some time before 2.2.0 was released.
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.

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.
or shrinking an open partition (by changing the label for a compatibility
slice while partitions on the corresponding real slice are open, or vice
versa).
This introduce an xxxFS_BOOT for each of the rootable filesystems.
(Presently not required, but encouraged to allow a smooth move of option *FS
to opt_dontuse.h later.)
LFS is temporarily disabled, and will be re-enabled tomorrow.
or a partition is larger than the slice.
Now `disklabel -Brw sdX auto' should fail properly on sliced disks
without partition of type 165, e.g., on zip disks with the factory
default formatting. Previously it set a bogus in-core label for
the compatibility slice and used this to corrupt the MBR (the slice
has offset 0 and size 0, but setting the label in effect corrupted
its size to nonzero).
`disklabel -Brw sdX auto' already failed properly on normally (not
dangerously dedicated) sliced disks _with_ partition of type 165,
because the compatibility slice has a nonzero offset so the MBR
remained inaccessible when the size was corrupted.
This bug only affected in-core labels. On-disk labels are checked
carefully when they read and written.

in order to comply with different sectorsizes.
Currently sectors of size 512, 1024 & 2048 are supported, the only
restriction beeing in fdisk, which hunts for the sectorsize of
the device.
This is based on patches to od.c and the other system files by
John Gumb & Barry Scott, minor changes and the sd.c patches by
me.
There also exist some patches for the msdos filesys code, but I
havn't been able to test those (yet).
