Gang, My fingers have been itching to do this since the day phk@ planted this idea in my brain (re: cdevsw initialisations). Basically, it changes the vfsops to use C99 sparse format, just like cdevsw. It removes a lot of junk default initialisations, and duplication.
Just like phk@ said in his mail for cdevsw; likewise, we wil be able to add new vfsops without having to hunt down each driver to match. Except this patch was "not" generated automatically. While there, I have also nuked all the prototypes for the vfsops, and replaced them with the typedefs, available in sys/mount.h, i.e. vfs_<op>_t. If this patch gets approved by some senior mac-daddies of FreeBSD, I can kindly ask my mentor, DES, to commit this for me. 8-) The patch: http://people.FreeBSD.ORG/~hmp/patches/vfs-voodoo.patch My mentor, and some other developers on secret IRC channel have given this a cursory glance. I am composing my email from a kernel running with this patch -- no rabbits, or hard disks were harmed in the making of this patch. Cheers. -- Hiten ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
