- the major number wasn't checked, so accesses beyond the end of bdevsw[]
were possible. Bogus major numbers are easy to get because `sysctl -w'
doesn't handle dev_t's reasonably - it doesn't convert names to dev_t's
and it converts the number 1025 to the dev_t 0x35323031.
- Driver d_psize() functions return -1 to indicate error ENXIO or ENODEV
(the interface is too braindamaged to say which). -1 was interpreted
as a size and resulted in the bogus error ENOSPC.
- it was possible to set the dumpdev for devices without a d_psize()
function. This is equivalent to setting the dumpdev to NODEV except
it confuses sysctl.
- change a 512 to DEV_BSIZE. There is an official macro dtoc() for
converting "pages" to disk blocks but it is never used in /usr/src/sys.
There is much confusion between PAGE_SIZE sized pages and NBPG sized
pages. Maxmem consists of both.
Not fixed:
- there is nothing to invalidate the dumpdev if the media goes away.
This reduces the benefits of the early calculation of dumplo. Bounds
checking in the dump routines is relied on to reduce the risk of
damage and little would be lost by relying on the dump routines to
calculate dumplo.
- no attempt is made to stay away from the start of the device to
avoid clobbering labels.

The `howto' arg to boot() was not supplied, so it was stack garbage (actually
the return address in the boot program). I didn't use the submitted fix.
1) If a target initiated a sync negotiation with us and happened to chose a
value above 15, the old code inadvertantly truncated it with an "& 0x0f".
If the periferal picked something really bad like 0x32, you'd end up with
an offset of 2 which would hang the drive since it didn't expect to ever
get something so low. We now do a MIN(maxoffset, given_offset).
2) In the case of Wide cards, we were turning on sync transfers after a
sucessfull wide negotiation. Now we leave the offset alone in the per
target scratch space (which implies asyncronous transfers since we initialize
it that way) until a syncronous negotation occurs.
3) We were advertizing a max offset of 15 instead of 8 for wide devices.
4) If the upper level SCSI code sent down a "SCSI_RESET", it would hang the
system because we would end up sending a null command to the sequencer. Now
we handle SCSI_RESET correctly by having the sequencer interrupt us when it
is about to fill the message buffer so that we can fill it in ourselves.
The sequencer will also "simulate" a command complete for these "message only"
SCBs so that the kernel driver can finish up properly. The cdplay utility
will send a "SCSI_REST" to the cdplayer if you use the reset command.
5) The code that handles SCSIINTs was broken in that if more than one type
of error was true at once, we'd do outbs without the card being paused.
The else clause after the busfree case was also an accident waiting to
happen. I've now turned this into an if, else if, else type of thing, since
in most cases when we handle one type of error, it should be okay to ignore
the rest (ie if we have a SELTO, who cares if there was a parity error on
the transaction?), but the section should really be rewritten after 2.0.5.
This fix was the least obtrusive way to patch the problem.
6) Only tag either SDTR or WDTR negotiation on an SCB. The real problem is
that I don't account for the case when an SCB that is tagged to do a particular
type of negotiation completes or SELTOs (selection timeout) without the
negotiation taking place, so the accounting of sdtrpending and wdtrpending
gets screwed up. In the wide case, if we tag it to do both wdtr and sdtr,
it only performs wdtr (since wdtr must occur first and we spread out the
negotiation over two commands) so we always have sdtrpending set for that
target and we never do a real SDTR. I fill properly fix the accounting
after 2.0.5 goes out the door, but this works (as confirmed by Dan) on
wide targets.
Other stuff that is also included:
1) Don't do a bzero when recycling SCBs. The only thing that must explicitly
be set to zero is the scb control byte which is done in ahc_get_scb. We also
need to set the SG_list_pointer and SG_list_count to 0 for commands that do
not transfer data.
2) Mask the interrupt type printout for the aic7870 case. The bit we were
using to determine interrupt type is only valid for the aic7770.

You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have

There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right

The code to skip a miniroot in the swapdev is not particular useful, and
if we need it we need it to be done properly, ie size the fs and skip all
of it not some hardcoded size, and subtract what we skip from the length
in the first place.
The SEQSWAP dies too. It's not the way to do it, it doesn't work, and
nobody have expressed any great desire for it to work. The way to
implement it correctly would be a second argument to swapon(2) to give
a priority/policy information. Low priority swapdevs can be made so
by adding them at a far offset (0x80000000 kind of thing), with almost no
modification to the strategy routine (in particular a offset per swapdev).
But until the need is obvious, it will not be done.

Call setdelayed() every (normal) clock tick to convert delayed

Drivers can set bits in `idelayed' at any time to schedule an interrupt

Currently only software interrupts can be scheduled.

the adapter's selections. Many fast periferals were getting upset when
the sequencer decided to rearbitrate after the device had already won
arbitration. This also forced the creation of a list threaded through
the SCBs (since we don't have enough space anywhere else) of commands that
are awaiting reselection. This list is run down before any new transactions
from the input queue are allowed. The list is appened to whenever we begin
a selection (simple case since the selecting device is always at the head)
and by the kernel driver whenever a request sense occurs. In the common
case, the list is only one element long, but when a reselection wins out
over a selection and that reselection generates a request sense, the
outstanding selection required for the retreval of the sense code grows
the list. On machines with many targets, this might cause the list to grow
large, so this solution, which will allow up to the maximum number of I/O
requests capible of the card elements in the list, was chosen. The list
manipulation is trivial and adds three sequencer instructions of overhead
to the selection phase.

Change the interfaces of these functions to save space. The code
that takes the least amount of space is often the opposite to what
you might expect. E.g., it helps to waste a few bytes passing

though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
like a keyboard available.
This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
(sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
probe.
Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
to get this working.
some (hopefully) less offensive stupidity:
If we detect that a user has loaded a module that fails to initialize
itself correctly, panic. There really isn't a safe way to recover from
something like this; we can't know that the module is bad until after
the entry point is called, by which time it's too late to do anything
about it.
- Add $Id$ string.
- Fix comment ("we might *not* be able to unload the
module afterwards without panicking...")
- Get rid of variable 'j' that I used in name checking
for(;;) loop and use 'i' instead (I thought there'd be
a problem with this, but there isn't).
got a 2.2 version DC21040 chip in my SMC ethernet card! He suggests bumping
the check all the way down to 2.0 since it's pre-2.0 we're actually guarding
against.

if_tun_mod, etc...) from crashing the system. These modules are useful,
but because they don't yet have proper load()/unload() functions,
they can lead to panics: if, for example, you load the if_ppp module,
any user can panic the system by running modstat.
You can also hang the system outright if you try to unload the PPP
module too.
Changes are as follows:
- Save the name passed to us during the RESERVE stage for name matching
(we can't load if_ppp_mod twice: we've have two ppp0's and two ppp1's,
which is beyond strange). This makes the lkmexists() cheks somewhat
redundant, but there's no way around it that I can see.
- If we call the module entry point and find that we have no lkm_any
structure in our 'private' section, create a fake one. This keeps
modstat happy. We mark such modules as LM_UNKNOWN.
- Don't allow LM_UNLOAD modules to be unloaded: it just ain't
possible. (Unless someone wants to write a pppunattach() function. :( )
- In lkmunreserve(), mark private.lkm_any as NULL so we don't get
confused later. I think this is bogus, but I can't prove it.
XXX: the name matching used to keep the user from loading two
instances of the same module can easily be defeated simply by
changing the module name or, in the case of the oddball modules,
simply by renaming the module files. I haven't found a nice simple
way to tell one module from another.
