- Document the minor(3), major(3) and makedev(3) macro's. They also apply to umajor() and uminor() in the kernel, but hopefully we'll sort that out one day. - Briefly dev2unit() inside the make_dev(9) manual page, since this is now the preferred macro to obtain character device unit numbers inside the kernel. - Remove the device_ids(9) manual page. It contains highly inaccurate information, such as a description of the nonexistent major().

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn make_dev_credf
|
|
function creates a
|
|
.Fa cdev
|
|
structure for a new device.
|
|
It also notifies
|
|
.Xr devfs 5
|
|
of the presence of the new device, that causes corresponding nodes
|
|
to be created.
|
|
Besides this, a
|
|
.Xr devctl 4
|
|
notification is sent.
|
|
The device will be owned by
|
|
.Va uid ,
|
|
with the group ownership as
|
|
.Va gid .
|
|
The name is the expansion of
|
|
.Va fmt
|
|
and following arguments as
|
|
.Xr printf 9
|
|
would print it.
|
|
The name determines its path under
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
or other
|
|
.Xr devfs 5
|
|
mount point and may contain slash
|
|
.Ql /
|
|
characters to denote subdirectories.
|
|
The permissions of the file specified in
|
|
.Va perms
|
|
are defined in
|
|
.In sys/stat.h :
|
|
.Pp
|
|

.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va cr
|
|
argument specifies credentials that will be stored in the
|
|
.Fa si_cred
|
|
member of the initialized
|
|
.Fa struct cdev .
|
|
The
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
argument alters the operation of
|
|
.Fn make_dev_credf .
|
|
The following values are currently accepted:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
MAKEDEV_REF reference the created device
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr dev_clone 9
|
|
event handler shall specify
|
|
.Dv MAKEDEV_REF
|
|
flag when creating a device in response to lookup, to avoid race where
|
|
the device created is destroyed immediately after
|
|
.Xr devfs_lookup 9
|
|
drops his reference to cdev.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn make_dev_cred
|
|
function is equivalent to the call
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
make_dev_credf(0, cdevsw, unit, cr, uid, gid, perms, fmt, ...);
|
|
.Ed .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn make_dev
|
|
function call is the same as
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
make_dev_credf(0, cdevsw, unit, NULL, uid, gid, perms, fmt, ...);
|
|
.Ed .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn make_dev_alias
|
|
function takes the returned
|
|
.Ft cdev
|
|
from
|
|
.Fn make_dev
|
|
and makes another (aliased) name for this device.
|
|
It is an error to call
|
|
.Fn make_dev_alias
|
|
prior to calling
|
|
.Fn make_dev .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa cdev
|
|
returned by
|
|
.Fn make_dev
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn make_dev_alias
|
|
has two fields,
|
|
.Fa si_drv1
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa si_drv2 ,
|
|
that are available to store state.
|
|
Both fields are of type
|
|
.Ft void * .
|
|
These are designed to replace the
|
|
.Fa unit
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn make_dev ,
|
|
which can be obtained with
|
|
.Fn dev2unit .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
function takes the returned
|
|
.Fa cdev
|
|
from
|
|
.Fn make_dev
|
|
and destroys the registration for that device.
|
|
The notification is sent to
|
|
.Xr devctl 4
|
|
about the destruction event.
|
|
Do not call
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
on devices that were created with
|
|
.Fn make_dev_alias .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dev_depends
|
|
function establishes a parent-child relationship between two devices.
|
|
The net effect is that a
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
of the parent device will also result in the destruction of the
|
|
child device(s),
|
|
if any exist.
|
|
A device may simultaneously be a parent and a child,
|
|
so it is possible to build a complete hierarchy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev_sched_cb
|
|
function schedules execution of the
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
for the specified
|
|
.Fa cdev
|
|
in the safe context.
|
|
After
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
is finished, and if the supplied
|
|
.Fa cb
|
|
is not NULL, the callback
|
|
.Fa cb
|
|
is called, with argument
|
|
.Fa arg .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev_sched
|
|
function is the same as
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
destroy_dev_sched(cdev, NULL, NULL);
|
|
.Ed .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn d_close
|
|
driver method cannot call
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
directly. Doing so causes deadlock when
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
waits for all threads to leave the driver methods.
|
|
Also, because
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
sleeps, no non-sleepable locks may be held over the call.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev_sched
|
|
family of functions overcome these issues.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The device driver may call the
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev_drain
|
|
function to wait until all devices that have supplied
|
|
.Fa csw
|
|
as cdevsw, are destroyed. This is useful when driver knows that
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev_sched
|
|
is called for all instantiated devices, but need to postpone module
|
|
unload until
|
|
.Fn destroy_dev
|
|
is actually finished for all of them.
