RAIDFrame changes
Hi,
now that RAIDFrame is usuable at a module I have prepared
a patch to refactor the driver to use the common dksubr code.
The patch can be found at
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/mlelstv/raidframe.diff
and it includes a few other fixes too:
- finding components now does proper kernel locking by using
bdev_strategy, previously it would trigger an assertion in the sd
driver (and maybe others).
- finding components now runs in two passes to prefer wedges over
raw partitions when the wedge starts at offset 0.
- defer RAIDFRAME_SHUTDOWN (raidctl -u operation) to raidclose.
- side effect is that 'raidctl -u' succeeds even for units that
haven't been configured. The previous behaviour was to keep
the embryonal unit and fail ioctl and close operations which
prevents unloading of the module.
- moved raidput again to raid_detach() because raid_detach_unlocked()
is only called for initialized units.
- use common dksubr code
- the fake device softc now stores a pointer back to the real softc
- no longer uses a private bufq
- private disklabel and disk_busy code is gone.
- some extra messages
I will commit this in the next days if there is no objection.
Greetings,
