protected drive at open() time has been *totally bogus*! The guy who
submitted it didn't understand all the implications of calling
set_motor(), and the `who' who included the patch into the tree did it
blindly... Pleeeeze, don't commit code to this driver unless you are
really going to understand what it does! This one caused me to pull
out even more hears, and those who know me do know that i ain't got
too many o'them. :-)
misfeature caused troubles when a program attempted to access a shlib
where one with a higher minor number has been hashed. Ldconfig does
only include the highest-numbered shlib anyway, so this is in no way a
limitation of generality.
Caution: after installing the new programs, your /var/run/ld.so.hints
needs to be rebuiult; run ldconfig again as it's done from /etc/rc.
1) Firewall is not subdivided on forwarding / blocking chains
anymore.Actually only one chain left-it was the blocking one.
2) LKM support.ip_fwdef.c is function pointers definition and
goes into kernel along with all INET stuff.
firewall should *NOT* be compiled into kernel.
Then it can be loaded.This is misc module but i'v
got no problemms with it,so shouldn't you i suppose..
BTW this is very stupid to have one module in CVS
for ALL lkm's...
We have only one firewall chain and one accounting chain now.
No blocking/forwarding so commands changed.
Man pages are somewhat out of date and will be updated ASAP.
No kernel config options anymore besides keyboard language layout.
Virtual consoles are now dynamically allocated, no NCONS anymore.
Software cursor blinking/nonblinking.
Visual bell for laptops (don't beep at meetings :-).
Cursor/bell default type setable via config "flags" instead of as defines.
Cursor/bell type setable via ioctl's.
New video modes 80x30 80x60 for some laptops, and those with multisync monitors.
Scroll-lock history (length currently fixed at 100 lines).
Lots of cleanups, some only commented out for now (will goaway soon).
Support for new features in vidcontrol/kbdcontrol.
Updated manpages.
being cleared in some cases for vnode backed objects; we now do this in
vnode_pager_alloc proper to guarantee it. Also be more careful in the
rcollapse code about messing with busy/bmapped pages.
now marked busy as long as it's being in non-reset state, and the
drives are busy as long as at least one instance is open.
Also reformat everything to fit into 80 columns again.
Changed my mind wrt. error reporting for a write-protected drive and
an open() with write intent; ENXIO has been too weird, now return EIO.
Some portions of the code need to be rewritten to use tprintf()
instead of simple printf()'s, so the messages will also appear on the
session terminal, however.
