HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.

- sort includes
- remove usage(), since it seems to come from older version
of the KLD
- remove unnecessary variable
- mark argc/argv as unused
Bring WARNS = 5 to the Makefile.
- ANSIfy prototypes;
- Add __unused for parameters that is not being currently used;
- Add a header for subrountines being called from other modules.

Update the error handling in a couple of cases to exit gracefully if
certain mandatory conditions aren't met.
Reduce the maximum number of initiators to 8 for this example code. While
1024 is more correct, this example code would act like it was stalled out
even though it was merely allocating the needed structures in init_ccbs()

Update referenced example to include unistd.h per manpage.
Update example to be more style(9)-ish, silence warnings and add
FreeBSD id to the source file.
It seems this script was broken because of the SYSINIT changes and a
rather awkward variable initialisation. For some reason the
make_device_driver.sh script is also broken, related to BUS_SETUP_INTR.
I have no experience with FreeBSD's interrupt handling, so I hope
someone else is willing to take a look at that shell script.

parts relied on the now removed NET_NEEDS_GIANT.
Most of I4B has been disconnected from the build
since July 2007 in HEAD/RELENG_7.
This is what was removed:
- configuration in /etc/isdn
- examples
- man pages
- kernel configuration
- sys/i4b (drivers, layers, include files)
- user space tools
- i4b support from ppp
- further documentation

NET_NEEDS_GIANT. netatm has been disconnected from the build for ten
months in HEAD/RELENG_7. Specifics:
- netatm include files
- netatm command line management tools
- libatm
- ATM parts in rescue and sysinstall
- sample configuration files and documents
- kernel support as a module or in NOTES
- netgraph wrapper nodes for netatm
- ctags data for netatm.
- netatm-specific device drivers.

NET_NEEDS_GIANT, which will shortly be removed. This is done in a
away that it may be easily reattached to the build before 7.1 if
appropriate locking is added. Specifics:
- Don't install netatm include files
- Disconnect netatm command line management tools
- Don't build libatm
- Don't include ATM parts in rescue or sysinstall
- Don't install sample configuration files and documents
- Don't build kernel support as a module or in NOTES
- Don't build netgraph wrapper nodes for netatm
This removes the last remaining consumer of NET_NEEDS_GIANT.

this for 'initiator id'- this is a stopgap until a sparse map is
added.
Make compat defines for offset format (FreeBSD 5 or less).
Add no-asyncio flag. There's some breakage with ASYNC I/O that every
now and then drops us into an infinite loop. This also then does
a fallback to no-asyncio if the AIO option isn't loaded/compiled into
the kernel.
A number of other chanes to try and track some breakage.
- Change variable name to 'error', as this is what is mostly used for
functions that return an error.
- Add mutex(9) to the SEE ALSO section.
- Bump the date.
I don't really like the example code. I'd prefer symmetry where possible, eg.
mtx_lock(&example_lock);
error = example(NULL, EXAMPLE_ONE);
mtx_unlock(&example_lock);
if (error != 0)
return (error);
But I'll leave it as it is for now.
