Hi, I'm preparing to contribute a driver for my company's hardware to OpenSolaris. The code is currently proprietary, closed source. I have a few "newbie" questions.
Are there any generic linked-list/queue macros in the Solaris kernel? Or does each component role his own? My driver currently uses the BSD queue.h macros from FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/queue.h). Would my driver be allowed to bring in that file, or would I have to re-write all my linked-list manipulations due to the BSD license on that file? Is there any chance of OpenSolaris importing this file? It is quite useful to have those macros available to everybody. Can the initial contribution be a tarball which can be extracted and build stand-alone, or must it be a diff against the kernel? (Eg, do I need to figure out how to build an OpenSolaris kernel). I have read the style guidelines. Given that my driver was not written to conform to "Bill Joy Normal Form", hand conversion would be painful. Does anybody have an indent recipe, or sed/perl/etc script to re-format C code into something which can pass cstyle.pl?
