The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006
This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions
if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.
I4b and vinum not changed. Patches emailed to authors. LINT
probably broken until they catch up.
Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".
Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.
The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.
I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the
same consistent format. Please keep it that way.
Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.
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).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.
Join CDEV_MODULE and BDEV_MODULE to DEV_MODULE (please pay attention
to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)
Join CDEV_DRIVER_MODULE and BDEV_DRIVER_MODULE to DEV_DRIVER_MODULE
(ditto!)
(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with

There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left

More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.
lives in ext2_vnops.c for ext2fs. Also remove cast from comparision.
Bruce pointed out that it was bogus since we'd force a signed
comparision when we really wanted an unsigned comparison.
MNT_WAIT when we mean boolean `true' or check for that value not being
passed. There was no problem in practice because MNT_WAIT had the
magic value of 1.
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.

They checked for the magic major number for the "device" behind mfs
mount points. Use a more obvious check for this device.

Supply the moduledata handle rather than the event dispatcher function.
This should explain the panic on boot problem that's been discussed in
-current at the moment. Both machines had GNU_MATH_EMULATE.
This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets
were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.
but when i_effnlink was added to support soft updates, there was only
room for 4 spares. The number of spares was not reduced, so the inode
size became 260 (on i386's), or 512 after rounding up by malloc().
Use one spare field in `struct dinode' instead of the 5th spare field
in the inode and reduced to 4 spares in the inode so that the size is
256 again.
Changed the types of the spares in the inode from int to u_int32_t
so that the inode size has more chance of being <= 256 under other
arches, and downdated ext2fs to match (it was broken to use ints
before rev.1.1).
an ext2fs file system is mounted. The soft update changes added
a check for B_DELWRI buffers. This exposed the complete brokenness
of the previous quick fix for failing syncs (PR 3571, committed on
1997/08/04). Use a new buffer flag B_DIRTY and don't abuse B_DELWRI.
B_DIRTY buffers are still written too late, as broken in the previous
fix. This is fairly harmless, because B_DIRTY is only used for
bitmap buffers and fsck.ext2 can fix up the bitmaps perfectly.
Fixed a race in ULCK_BUF() (bremfree() was outside of the splbio()
section).
syncs weren't optimized properly (they probably still aren't, but are bug
for bug compatible with ffs). These fixes are mostly academic, since
ext2fs is too broken to mount read-write (it apparently doesn't clear
indirect blocks).
