1) check va before clearing the page clean flag. Not doing so was
causing the vnode pager error 5 messages when paging from
NFS. (pmap.c)
2) put back interrupt protection in idle_loop. Bruce didn't think
it was necessary, John insists that it is (and I agree). (swtch.s)
3) various improvements to the clustering code (vm_machdep.c). It's
now enabled/used by default.
4) bad disk blocks are now handled properly when doing clustered IOs.
(wd.c, vm_machdep.c)
5) bogus bad block handling fixed in wd.c.
6) algorithm improvements to the pageout/pagescan daemons. It's amazing
how well 4MB machines work now.
/dev/mcd0a instead of /dev/mcd0d. This is more conforming to the /dev/cd0a
for the SCSI cdrom drives. It breaks the convention d the whole drive.
But the question is, do we really need partitions on cdrom drives ?
it still looks a little suspicious that so many of the status codes are missing
so I'm not going to adopt all of the existing ones yet. Try to be more
descriptive in the use of hex constants.
hack in the moment for testing purposes and to get the drive going
again.
0x20 means empty drive.
0x30 means closed drive with CDROM inserted.
0x80 means drive pulled out, but door closed.
0xa0 means drive pulled out and door open.
Luckily none of these values are the same as that reported for Ethernet
cards ( 0 for WD8003E, 0x40 for WD8013EPC, 0x60 for NE2000).
The bad part is, the probe code gets the WD8003E so hosed, that it is
no longer usable after it. No problem with the WD8013EPC.
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.
