udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland. Provide functions to manipulate both types: major() umajor() minor() uminor() makedev() umakedev() dev2udev() udev2dev() For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions after one of the next two steps in this process. Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland. Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver. In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr, cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where we carry around a reference to a actual device. In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang). A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down (many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it as simply as possible, and describe how to do that. Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op. Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h> files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result. Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl). |
