attribute. Also define some macros to manipulate one of these
structures. Explain their use in the extattr.9 manual page.
The next step will be to make a sweep through the kernel replacing
the old pointer manipulation code. To get an idea of how they would
be used, the ffs_findextattr() function in ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c is
currently written as follows:
/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
*/
static int
ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eap, u_char **eac)
{
u_char *p, *pe, *pn, *p0;
int eapad1, eapad2, ealength, ealen, nlen;
uint32_t ul;
pe = ptr + length;
nlen = strlen(name);
for (p = ptr; p < pe; p = pn) {
p0 = p;
bcopy(p, &ul, sizeof(ul));
pn = p + ul;
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (pn > pe)
break;
p += sizeof(uint32_t);
if (*p != nspace)
continue;
p++;
eapad2 = *p++;
if (*p != nlen)
continue;
p++;
if (bcmp(p, name, nlen))
continue;
ealength = sizeof(uint32_t) + 3 + nlen;
eapad1 = 8 - (ealength % 8);
if (eapad1 == 8)
eapad1 = 0;
ealength += eapad1;
ealen = ul - ealength - eapad2;
p += nlen + eapad1;
if (eap != NULL)
*eap = p0;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = p;
return (ealen);
}
return(-1);
}
After applying the structure and macros, it would look like this:
/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
*/
static int
ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eapp, u_char **eac)
{
struct extattr *eap, *eaend;
eaend = (struct extattr *)(ptr + length);
for (eap = (struct extattr *)ptr; eap < eaend; eap = EXTATTR_NEXT(eap)){
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (EXTATTR_NEXT(eap) > eaend)
break;
if (eap->ea_namespace != nspace ||
eap->ea_namelength != length ||
bcmp(eap->ea_name, name, length))
continue;
if (eapp != NULL)
*eapp = eap;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = EXTATTR_CONTENT(eap);
return (EXTATTR_CONTENT_SIZE(eap));
}
return(-1);
}
Not only is it considerably shorter, but it hopefully more readable :-)
want an equivalent of DELAY(9) that sleeps instead of spins. It accepts
a wmesg and a timeout and is not interrupted by signals. It uses a private
wait channel that should never be woken up by wakeup(9) or wakeup_one(9).

transition to mbuma (FreeBSD 5.3) and the fact that mbufs are now limited
almost entirely to packet storage, with straight UMA zones being used for
most other network data types.
Apart from minor cleanup of the text, it should document
in reasonable detail what the status of the code is.
RELENG_6 has some minor differences there in the way automatic
loading/unloading is handled, but hopefully this should be
fixed by MFC time.
The examples come from Max Laier and Sam Leffler.

Add a new function hashinit_flags() which allows NOT-waiting
for memory (or waiting). The old hashinit() function now
calls hashinit_flags(..., HASH_WAITOK);
behave as expected.
Also:
- Return an error if WD_PASSIVE is passed in to the ioctl as only
WD_ACTIVE is implemented at the moment. See sys/watchdog.h for an
explanation of the difference between WD_ACTIVE and WD_PASSIVE.
- Remove the I_HAVE_TOTALLY_LOST_MY_SENSE_OF_HUMOR define. If you've
lost your sense of humor, than don't add a define.
Specific changes:
i80321_wdog.c
Don't roll your own passive watchdog tickle as this would defeat the
purpose of an active (userland) watchdog tickle.
ichwd.c / ipmi.c:
WD_ACTIVE means active patting of the watchdog by a userland process,
not whether the watchdog is active. See sys/watchdog.h.
kern_clock.c:
(software watchdog) Remove a check for WD_ACTIVE as this does not make
sense here. This reverts r1.181.

Remove the cdevsw() function which is now unused.
(the log is wrong, it was really devsw that was removed).
# we really need to actually document the functions in sys/conf.h as well
# as things like d_open...
which allows to use it with different kinds of locks. For example it allows
to implement Solaris conditions variables which will be used in ZFS port on
top of sx(9) locks.
