- As a preparation for the introduction of larger device numbers,
- we introduce a type kdev_t to hold them. No information about
- this type is known outside of this include file.
- Objects of type kdev_t designate a device. Outside of the kernel
- the corresponding things are objects of type dev_t - usually an
- integral type with the device major and minor in the high and low
- bits, respectively. Conversion is done by
- extern kdev_t to_kdev_t(int);
- It is up to the various file systems to decide how objects of type
- dev_t are stored on disk.
- The only other point of contact between kernel and outside world
- are the system calls stat and mknod, new versions of which will
- eventually have to be used in libc.
- [Unfortunately, the floppy control ioctls fail to hide the internal
- kernel structures, and the fd_device field of a struct floppy_drive_struct
- is user-visible. So, it remains a dev_t for the moment, with some ugly
- conversions in floppy.c.]
- Inside the kernel, we aim for a kdev_t type that is a pointer
- to a structure with information about the device (like major,
- minor, size, blocksize, sectorsize, name, read-only flag,
- struct file_operations etc.).
- However, for the time being we let kdev_t be almost the same as dev_t:
- typedef struct { unsigned short major, minor; } kdev_t;
- Admissible operations on an object of type kdev_t:
- - passing it along
- - comparing it for equality with another such object
- - storing it in ROOT_DEV, inode->i_dev, inode->i_rdev, sb->s_dev,
- bh->b_dev, req->rq_dev, de->dc_dev, tty->device
- - using its bit pattern as argument in a hash function
- - finding its major and minor
- - complaining about it
- An object of type kdev_t is created only by the function MKDEV(),
- with the single exception of the constant 0 (no device).
- Right now the other information mentioned above is usually found
- in static arrays indexed by major or major,minor.
- An obstacle to immediately using
- typedef struct { ... (* lots of information *) } *kdev_t
- is the case of mknod used to create a block device that the
- kernel doesn't know about at present (but first learns about
- when some module is inserted).
