Ok, here is a new version. Below is a diff from the old version to the new one. It fixes a couple of bugs (for one, a potential deadlock in netfs_node_norefs vs. netfs_attempt_lookup, which might be interesting for netfs Hurd hackers to know about, furthermore a glitch in the vcons list processing, and some mode bit settings, which could be done even better, though, but it is only cosmetic). I also added the input node that was suggested by Nils. An example: $ ls con/2 total 0 crw-r----- 1 marcus marcus 0, 0 Jun 3 03:17 console -rw-r----- 1 marcus marcus 2000 Jun 3 03:17 display prw-r----- 1 marcus marcus 0 Jun 3 03:17 input You can see that the input node is shown as a fifo, which I think is appropriate. All of this is entirely fake, of course. I did some more stress testing, and this version seems to be quite robust (eg, listing 100 virtual consoles in parallel works fine). I will soon merge in the real meat for the input and console device. The display device will be more difficult, as 1. the code isn't written yet, and 2. the interface is not designed ;) But I certainly will add some cheesy polling interface for testing rather soon, and a simple display client that piggybacks on the existing Hurd console to go with.
