. 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.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED

Despite of a few cosmetic things like adding ``irritating silly
parentheses'' around all return values, this mainly improves FDC reset
handling by no longer gratuitously resetting the FDC all the time
(which causes it to lose the notion of the current track) but only in
case of errors, and it sanitizes the block and offset calculations in
fdstrategy() and fdstate(). Some additional cleanup added by me, in
particular the large switch in fdstate() now always uses return to
break out, and no branch falls off the end of the switch statement
anymore. Per Bruce's suggestion, removed M_NOWAIT from the malloc()s
to simplify things.

destroyed properly (otherwise bad things would happen after a clone
dev had been created, and the module was kldunloaded). Allocated
children that have not successfully probed are being deleted again
(otherwise fd0 and fd1 have always been allocated, even if only
fd0 was acutally present, and fd1 even survived kldunloading the
module).
Still, kldunloading leaves remnants of the previously existing devices
intact. Why doesn't it destroy all the devices? As a consequence,
since dev->descr now points into no longer allocated memory, the
system panics deep inside printf(9) when running devinfo(1) after
kldunloading the module. Ideas sought...
Also, when kldloading the module on a hints-populated isab0, this bus
somehow has already created an fdc0 entry (a dummy) so the load
attempt fails and will register fdc1 instead. What are those dummy
entries for? Loading the module from the bootloader works, and it
can be unloaded an re-loaded then later.

Based on numerous comments made by Bruce, rewrite a good part of the

unified fdmisccmd() function. Various style and a couple of more
serious bugs fixed there.
While i was at it, i also fixed the long-standing "TODO: don't
allocate buffer on stack." in fdcioctl(), fixed a number of style bugs
there, and finally implemented the FD_DEBUG ioctl command that has
been advertised in <sys/fdcio.h> (formerly <machine/ioctl_fd.h>) for
almost seven years now. ;-)

-current. It doesn't work yet as stable as the 3.x/PAO version of the
driver does, however, i get occasional `FDC direction bit not set' and
other weird messages, but it basically works at least.
The old (defunct) #ifdef FDC_YE stuff has been eliminated completely
now, PCMCIA-FDC specific functions have been implemented differently
where needed.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that the traditional PeeCee FDC with
its funny non-contiguous register space (one register for WD1003
harddisk controllers is interleaved into the FDC register set), and
Peter's subsequent changes involving two different bus space handles
for normal FDCs, the changes required for the Y-E stuff are more
complex than i'd love them to be. I've done my best to keep the logic
for normal FDCs intact.
Since the Y-E FDC seems to lose interrupts after a FDC reset
sometimes, i've also replaced the timeout logic in fd_turnoff() to
generate an artificial pseudo interrupt in case of a timeout while the
drive has still outstanding transfers waiting. This avoids the total
starvation of the driver that could be observed with highly damaged
media under 3.x/PAO. This part of the patch has been revied by bde
previously.
I've fixed a number of occasions where previous commits have been
missing the encapuslation of ISA DMA related functions inside
FDC_NODMA checks.
I've added one call to SET_BCDR() during preparation of the format
floppy operation. Floppy formatting has been totally broken before in
3.x/PAO (garbage ID fields have been written to the medium, causing
`wrong cylinder' errors upon media reading). This is just black
magic, i don't have the slightes idea _why_ this needs to be but just
copied over the hack that has been used by the PAO folks in the normal
read/write case anyway.
The entired device_busy() stuff seems to be pointless to me. In any
case, i had to add device_unbusy() calls symmetrical to the
device_busy() calls, otherwise the PCMCIA floppy driver could never be
deactivated. (As it used to be, it caused a `mark the device busier
and busier' situation.) IMHO, all block device drivers should be
marked busy based on active buffers still waiting for the driver, so
the device_unbusy() calls should probably go to biodone(). Only one
other driver (whose name escapes me at the moment) uses device_busy()
calls at all, so i question the value of all this...
I think this entire `device busy' logic simply doesn't fit for PCMCIA
&al. It cannot be the decision of some piece of kernel software to
declare a device `busy by now, you can't remove it', when the actual
physical power of removing it is the user pulling the card. The
kernel simply has to cope with the removal, however busy the device
might have been by the time of the removal, period. Perhaps a force
flag needs to be added?
Upon inserting the card a second time, i get:
WARNING: "fd" is usurping "fd"'s cdevsw[]
WARNING: "fd" is usurping "fd"'s bmaj
I suspect this is related to the XXX comment at the call to
cdevsw_add(). Does anybody know what the correct way is to cleanup
this?
It seems that the IDE system uses 0x3f6 for itself, which conflicts with
fdc's default 0x3f0-3f7 allocation range. Sigh. Work around this.
Use bus_set_resource() rather than allocating specific areas, it makes
the code a little cleaner.
Based on work by: dfr
o Rename FDC_PCMCIA to FDC_NODMA to allow systems that don't have dma

o Remove all but two FDC_YE ifdefs. They aren't needed.

o The pccard probe/attach. However, motivated individuals can more

This is a merge of changes I've had in my tree for a long time. These
fixes were tested on my VAIO with its normal floppy. Please let me
know if I broke anything.

This is the hack that compensates for when bios vendors "forget" to
include the fdc control (0x3f7) port in their io port mappings. Instead
of accessing ports outside of a range allocated to a handle, simply
allocate the port directly. It even shows up in the probe..
