This is an architecture that present a thing message passing interface
to the OS. You can query as to how many ports and what kind are attached
and enable them and so on.
A less grand view is that this is just another way to package SCSI (SPI or
FC) and FC-IP into a one-driver interface set.
This driver support the following hardware:
LSI FC909: Single channel, 1Gbps, Fibre Channel (FC-SCSI only)
LSI FC929: Dual Channel, 1-2Gbps, Fibre Channel (FC-SCSI only)
LSI 53c1020: Single Channel, Ultra4 (320M) (Untested)
LSI 53c1030: Dual Channel, Ultra4 (320M)
Currently it's in fair shape, but expect a lot of changes over the
next few weeks as it stabilizes.
Credits:
The driver is mostly from some folks from Jeff Roberson's company- I've
been slowly migrating it to broader support that I it came to me as.
The hardware used in developing support came from:
FC909: LSI-Logic, Advansys (now Connetix)
FC929: LSI-Logic
53c1030: Antares Microsystems (they make a very fine board!)

thus hiting EIO at the end of file. This is believed to be a feature
(not a bug) of vn_rdwr(), so we turn it off by supplying aresid param.

- Make getvfsbyname() take a struct xvfsconf *.
- Convert several consumers of getvfsbyname() to use struct xvfsconf.
- Correct the getvfsbyname.3 manpage.
- Create a new vfs.conflist sysctl to dump all the struct xvfsconf in the
kernel, and rewrite getvfsbyname() to use this instead of the weird
existing API.
- Convert some {set,get,end}vfsent() consumers to use the new vfs.conflist
sysctl.
- Convert a vfsload() call in nfsiod.c to kldload() and remove the useless
vfsisloadable() and endvfsent() calls.
- Add a warning printf() in vfs_sysctl() to tell people they are using
an old userland.
After these changes, it's possible to modify struct vfsconf without
breaking the binary compatibility. Please note that these changes don't
break this compatibility either.
When bp will have updated mount_smbfs(8) with the patch I sent him, there
will be no more consumers of the {set,get,end}vfsent(), vfsisloadable()
and vfsload() API, and I will promptly delete it.
sysctl_sysctl_next() to skip this sysctl. The sysctl is
still available, but doesn't appear in a "sysctl -a".
This is especially useful when you want to deprecate a sysctl,
and add a warning into it to warn users that they are using
an old interface. Without this flag, the warning would get
echoed when running "sysctl -a" (which happens at boot).
code to do it when the bios doesn't do it for us, flag it. Then, when
we dealloc, do an equal kludge to get rid of the address. This should
address the can't get IRQ and panic bug in a more graceful way.
# really should write a dealloc routine and just call it instead, since
# this might not fix things in the kldunload case.
The bugfix (ipfw2.c) makes the handling of port numbers with
a dash in the name, e.g. ftp-data, consistent with old ipfw:
use \\ before the - to consider it as part of the name and not
a range separator.
The new feature (all this description will go in the manpage):
each rule now belongs to one of 32 different sets, which can
be optionally specified in the following form:
ipfw add 100 set 23 allow ip from any to any
If "set N" is not specified, the rule belongs to set 0.
Individual sets can be disabled, enabled, and deleted with the commands:
ipfw disable set N
ipfw enable set N
ipfw delete set N
Enabling/disabling of a set is atomic. Rules belonging to a disabled
set are skipped during packet matching, and they are not listed
unless you use the '-S' flag in the show/list commands.
Note that dynamic rules, once created, are always active until
they expire or their parent rule is deleted.
Set 31 is reserved for the default rule and cannot be disabled.
All sets are enabled by default. The enable/disable status of the sets
can be shown with the command
ipfw show sets
Hopefully, this feature will make life easier to those who want to
have atomic ruleset addition/deletion/tests. Examples:
To add a set of rules atomically:
ipfw disable set 18
ipfw add ... set 18 ... # repeat as needed
ipfw enable set 18
To delete a set of rules atomically
ipfw disable set 18
ipfw delete set 18
ipfw enable set 18
To test a ruleset and disable it and regain control if something
goes wrong:
ipfw disable set 18
ipfw add ... set 18 ... # repeat as needed
ipfw enable set 18 ; echo "done "; sleep 30 && ipfw disable set 18
here if everything goes well, you press control-C before
the "sleep" terminates, and your ruleset will be left
active. Otherwise, e.g. if you cannot access your box,
the ruleset will be disabled after the sleep terminates.
I think there is only one more thing that one might want, namely
a command to assign all rules in set X to set Y, so one can
test a ruleset using the above mechanisms, and once it is
considered acceptable, make it part of an existing ruleset.
