cleaning up some of the vnode usage..
(I'm sure it still needs more..)
where can one find out what each vfs call expects to be locked
on completion, and how can one find out what each layer expects
to be freed on error.?
it only barely works so don't get too carried away..
I noticed that teh symlink is length 0..
I guess I'll fix that tomorrow..
it also sometimes panics with "cleaned vnode isn't" but it's not more
broken than it was before.. I really want to go over it with someone
who understands the lifecycle of a vnode better than I do..

DEVFS filesystems..
- if ( error = dev_add_name(child->name,parent->dnp
+ if ( error = dev_add_name(child->name,falias->dnp
Ok bruce, this is the one you were seeing..
were development aids :-) and normal events.
Initialise the "hidden" blueprint mount "mnt_op" and "mnt_vfc" fields so
that a statfs() on a devfs file would not panic anymore. Fixes PR#911.
Head-scratching by: Julian and Peter
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..
Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.
some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.
BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...
If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..
as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
it was referenced from.. stops a rather annoying panic, but
introduces a rather interesting but "I can live with it" bug
`ln a b ; mv a b; echo ?`
returns a rather than b..
I know why but I need to think of the 'correct' answer. at least this is 'safe'
I can now do an mv on devices and directories in devfs
This was the hardest part.. link, delete and symlink will follow in
short order.
This code works but has definitly got vnode locking problems
I am electing to get the structure of it working before
spending too much time on the vnode confusion
so it's probably not reliable at the moment..
never-the less it looks good.
:)
added prototypes for every function and
put (void *) as the args to the vop array definitions.
can now compile with:
CWARNFLAGS?= -W -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wredundant-decls -Wimplicit \
-Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes \
-Winline -Wstrict-prototypes
and only get errors for files external to this module:
namely
./vnode_if.h
../../sys/vnode.h
../../sys/buf.h
../../miscfs/specfs/specdev.h
