the 802.3 frames generated by the DC21040 (which does automatic padding
of less-than-minimum frames) and the frames generated by the 'ed'
driver, I've found that there is indeed a bug in the size of "ETHER_MIN_LEN"
as reported by several people, John Hay being the most recent. The driver
was actually setting the length to 6+6+2+50 (64 bytes), which when adding
in the CRC (which is automatically appended to the frame and not included
in the length), the minimum frame is 4 bytes larger than it is supposed to
be. All of this is confirmed by tcpdump showing 50 bytes of data for
minimum frames from the 'ed' cards and 46 bytes from 'de' cards. This
analysis has also revealed that there is garbage in the un-filled in
portion at the end of the minimum frames from the 'ed' driver; I don't
plan to fix this.
require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

A phone call from Manfred quickly pointed up the fact that I got the conflict
check backwards. NOW we implement the conflict checking correctly! Wheesh!
- Do the right thing when booting in NFS diskless mode, which is nothing.
Make the default unconfigured entries for swdevt[0] and dumplo something
that swapconf() will ignore and not choke on (the swap setup is done
in nfs_vfsops.c when booting diskless).
is more representative of worst case situations of 4 files/directory. (If
that last sentence doesn't make any sense, I'm not surprised. It's rather
compilcated how this all fits together....).
This should fix a problem that Ed Hudson has been complaining about where
directories with lots of symlinks could cause excessive disk I/O.
with davidg about it, I hereby kill two undocumented misfeatures:
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.
to access it. setdelayed() actually ORs the bits in `idelayed' into
`ipending' and clears `idelayed'.
Call setdelayed() every (normal) clock tick to convert delayed
interrupts into pending ones.
Drivers can set bits in `idelayed' at any time to schedule an interrupt
at the next clock tick. This is more efficient than calling timeout().
Currently only software interrupts can be scheduled.
boot diskless with it, you get a panic because setconf() is only
called for mountroot == ffs_mountroot. It really needs to be called
no matter what manner of rootfs we have. I can't really say if
swapgeneric will work with a CD-ROM though. (I get the feeling I'm
the only one who uses swapgeneric these days anyway.)
currently considering reducing the TCP fasttimo to 100ms to help improve
things, but this would be done as a seperate step at some point in the
future.
This was done because it was causing some sometimes serious performance
problems with T/TCP.
there may even be LKMs.) Also, change the internal name of `unixdomain'
to `localdomain' since AF_LOCAL is now the preferred name of this family.
Declare netisr correctly and in the right place.
msdosfs_lookup() did no validation to see if the caller was validated
to delete/rename/create files. msdosfs_setattr() did no validation
to see if the caller was allowed to change the file permissions (turn
on/off the write bit) or update the file modification time (utimes).
The routines were fixed to validate the calls just like ufs does.

It closed the wrong device (usually the B partition instead of the C
partition).
It closed a device without having opened it.
It didn't open a device often enough. This caused swap partitions on
slices other than the first slice looked at to be unavailable for swapping.
It didn't check the device number sufficiently.
Reopen the bdev for the raw partition and not the cdev if only the bdev
was open.
Don't use a bogus limit for the number of partitions to possibly reopen
(bug found by Julian).
Add function dssize() to help fix wdsize() and sdsize(). The slice
layer knows more about (un)open partitions and partition sizes than
the driver layer.
Remove silly "Naffy, the Wonder Porpoise" attribution and add more
justifiable (and overdue) attribution to Bruce Evans. Look at it
as a delete and add operation batched together, not a substitution. :-)
