jhb	27c334b71b	During a verbose boot, call the null device 'null' rather than 'null0' to ... be more consistent with the rest of the kernel.	2000-10-06 00:46:29 +00:00
jhb	030e1f307a	Move sys/dev/nulldev to sys/dev/null to be more consistent with naming ... under sys/dev.	2000-10-02 20:16:37 +00:00
markm	edc351fc59	Small style change; make function names less likely to clash with ... existing names. "null" is too common a string; use "null_".	2000-07-09 12:29:24 +00:00
markm	58318db808	New machine independant /dev/null and /dev/zero driver. This device is ... severely stripped down compared with its predecessor, and is measurably a _lot_ faster. Many thanks to Jeroen van Gelderen for lots of good ideas. There is still a problem with this; it is written as a mudule, and as such is theoretically unloadable. However, there is no refcounting done as I would prefer to do that a'la device_busy(9), rather than some "home-rolled" scheme. The point is pretty moot, as /dev/null is effectively compulsory.
