Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device were not immediately disappearing. Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create() is called. Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device drivers. Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements have been carried out at the same time: The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect, report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future. Manual page update to follow shortly. |
