Changes for patch v1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- creation of devfs
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- modified miscellaneous character devices to support devfs
|
|||
|
===============================================================================
|
|||
|
Changes for patch v2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- bug fix with manual inode creation
|
|||
|
===============================================================================
|
|||
|
Changes for patch v3
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- bugfixes
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- documentation improvements
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- created a couple of scripts (one to save&restore a devfs and the
|
|||
|
other to set up compatibility symlinks)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- devfs support for SCSI discs. New name format is: sd_hHcCiIlL
|
|||
|
===============================================================================
|
|||
|
Changes for patch v4
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- bugfix for the directory reading code
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- bugfix for compilation with kerneld
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- devfs support for generic hard discs
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- rationalisation of the various watchdog drivers
|
|||
|
===============================================================================
|
|||
|
Changes for patch v5
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- support for mounting directly from entries in the devfs (it doesn't
|
|||
|
need to be mounted to do this), including the root filesystem.
|
|||
|
Mounting of swap partitions also works. Hence, now if you set
|
|||
|
CONFIG_DEVFS_ONLY to 'Y' then you won't be able to access your discs
|
|||
|
via ordinary device nodes. Naturally, the default is 'N' so that you
|
|||
|
can still use your old device nodes. If you want to mount from devfs
|
|||
|
entries, make sure you use: append = "root=/dev/sd_..." in your
|
|||
|
lilo.conf. It seems LILO looks for the device number (major&minor)
|
|||
|
and writes that into the kernel image :-(
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- support for character memory devices (/dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/full
|
|||
|
and so on). Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>
|
|||
|
===============================================================================
|
|||
|
Changes for patch v6
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- support for subdirectories
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- support for symbolic links (created by devfs_mk_symlink(), no
|
|||
|
support yet for creation via symlink(2))
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- SCSI disc naming now cast in stone, with the format:
|
|||
|
/dev/sd/c0b1t2u3 controller=0, bus=1, ID=2, LUN=3, whole disc
|
|||
|
/dev/sd/c0b1t2u3p4 controller=0, bus=1, ID=2, LUN=3, 4th partition
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- loop devices now appear in devfs
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- tty devices, console, serial ports, etc. now appear in devfs
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
===============================================================================
|
|||
|

|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
I've also fixed the v8 patch file on the WWW
|
|||

|
|||
