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).

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed

Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.

existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the
vp->b_dirtyblkhd queue for others. This turns sequential writes into
randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance. The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.
The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point. All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points. This removes the sysctl variable vfs.nfs.dwrite
since the new queueing mechanism removes the old delayed write code
completely.
This should go into the 2.2 branch.

The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

1. Clear B_NEEDCOMMIT in nfs_write to make sure that dirty data is
correctly send to the server. If a buffer was dirtied when it was in
the B_DELWRI+B_NEEDCOMMIT state, the state of the buffer was left
unchanged and when the buffer was later cleaned, just a commit rpc was
made to the server to complete the previous write. Clearing
B_NEEDCOMMIT ensures that another write is made to the server.
2. If a server returned a server (for whatever reason) returned an
answer to a write RPC that implied that fewer bytes than requested
were written, bad things would happen.
3. The setattr operation passed on the atime in stead of the mtime to
the server. The fix is trivial.
4. XIDs always started at 0, but this caused some servers (older DEC
OSF/1 3.0 so I've been told) who had very long-lasting XID caches to
get confused if, after a reboot of a BSD client, RPCs came in with a
XID that had in the past been used before from that client. Patch is
to use the current time in seconds as a starting point for XIDs. The
patch below is not perfect, because it requires the root fs to be
mounted first. This is because of the check BSD systems do, comparing
FS time to system time.

Poul mentioned that he thought this was some kind of timing problem, and
that started me thinking. After a little poking around, I found that
nfs_timer() was completely disabled when NFS_NOSERVER was #defined.
But after looking at nfs_timer(), it seemed like it was something
required by both the client and server code, and disabling it outright
just didn't seem to make any sense. Parts of it relate only to the
NFS server side code, so I disabled those, but I re-enabled the rest
of the function and made sure that it would be called from nfs_init()
(in nfs_subs.c).
With nfs_timer() re-enabled, everything seems to work again. The only
other changes I made were to #ifdef away some variable declarations
in the NFS_NOSERVER case so that gcc would stop complaining about
unused variables.
