-+
-+		Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-+
-+			      18-AUG-2001
-+
-+
-+When CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is enabled, you can pass several boot options
-+to the kernel to debug devfs. The boot options are prefixed by
-+"devfs=", and are separated by commas. Spaces are not allowed. The
-+syntax looks like this:
-+
-+devfs=<option1>,<option2>,<option3>
-+
-+and so on. For example, if you wanted to turn on debugging for module
-+load requests and device registration, you would do:
-+
-+devfs=dmod,dreg
-+
-+You may prefix "no" to any option. This will invert the option.
-+
-+
-+Debugging Options
-+=================
-+
-+These requires CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG to be enabled.
-+Note that all debugging options have 'd' as the first character. By
-+default all options are off. All debugging output is sent to the
-+kernel logs. The debugging options do not take effect until the devfs
-+version message appears (just prior to the root filesystem being
-+mounted).
-+
-+These are the options:
-+
-+dmod		print module load requests to <request_module>
-+
-+dreg		print device register requests to <devfs_register>
-+
-+dunreg		print device unregister requests to <devfs_unregister>
-+
-+dchange		print device change requests to <devfs_set_flags>
-+
-+dilookup	print inode lookup requests
-+
-+diget		print VFS inode allocations
-+
-+diunlink	print inode unlinks
-+
-+dichange	print inode changes
-+
-+dimknod		print calls to mknod(2)
-+
-+dall		some debugging turned on
-+
-+
-+Other Options
-+=============
-+
-+These control the default behaviour of devfs. The options are:
-+
-+mount		mount devfs onto /dev at boot time
-+
-+only		disable non-devfs device nodes for devfs-capable drivers

-+===============================================================================
-+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
-+  Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>
-+
-+- bugs with mounting devfs-only devices now fixed
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v7
-+
-+- SCSI CD-ROMS, tapes and generic devices now appear in devfs
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v8
-+
-+- bugfix with no-rewind SCSI tapes
-+
-+- RAMDISCs now appear in devfs
-+
-+- better cleaning up of devfs entries created by various modules
-+
-+- interface change to <devfs_register>
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v9
-+
-+- the v8 patch was corrupted somehow, which would affect the patch for
-+  linux/fs/filesystems.c
-+  I've also fixed the v8 patch file on the WWW
-+
-+- MetaDevices (/dev/md*) should now appear in devfs
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v10
-+
-+- bugfix in meta device support for devfs
-+
-+- created this ChangeLog file
-+
-+- added devfs support to the floppy driver
-+
-+- added support for creating sockets in a devfs
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v11
-+
-+- added DEVFS_FL_HIDE_UNREG flag
-+
-+- incorporated better patch for ttyname() in libc 5.4.43 from H.J. Lu.
-+
-+- interface change to <devfs_mk_symlink>
-+
-+- support for creating symlinks with symlink(2)
-+
-+- parallel port printer (/dev/lp*) now appears in devfs
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v12
-+
-+- added inode check to <devfs_fill_file> function
-+
-+- improved devfs support when mounting from devfs
-+
-+- added call to <<release>> operation when removing swap areas on
-+  devfs devices
-+
-+- increased NR_SUPER to 128 to support large numbers of devfs mounts
-+  (for chroot(2) gaols)
-+
-+- fixed bug in SCSI disc support: was generating incorrect minors if
-+  SCSI ID's did not start at 0 and increase by 1
-+
-+- support symlink traversal when mounting root
-+===============================================================================
-+Changes for patch v13
-+
-+- added devfs support to soundcard driver
-+  Thanks to Eric Dumas <dumas@linux.eu.org> and
-+  C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>
-+
-+- added devfs support to the joystick driver
-+
-+- loop driver now has it's own subdirectory "/dev/loop/"
-+
-+- created <devfs_get_flags> and <devfs_set_flags> functions
-+
-+- fix problem with SCSI disc compatibility names (sd{a,b,c,d,e,f})
-+  which assumes ID's start at 0 and increase by 1. Also only create
-+  devfs entries for SCSI disc partitions which actually exist
-+  Show new names in partition check

-+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-+
-+
-+What is it?
-+
-+Devfs is an alternative to "real" character and block special devices
-+on your root filesystem. Kernel device drivers can register devices by
-+name rather than major and minor numbers. These devices will appear in
-+devfs automatically, with whatever default ownership and
-+protection the driver specified. A daemon (devfsd) can be used to
-+override these defaults. Devfs has been in the kernel since 2.3.46.
-+
-+NOTE that devfs is entirely optional. If you prefer the old
-+disc-based device nodes, then simply leave CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=n (the
-+default). In this case, nothing will change.  ALSO NOTE that if you do
-+enable devfs, the defaults are such that full compatibility is
-+maintained with the old devices names.
-+
-+There are two aspects to devfs: one is the underlying device
-+namespace, which is a namespace just like any mounted filesystem. The
-+other aspect is the filesystem code which provides a view of the
-+device namespace. The reason I make a distinction is because devfs
-+can be mounted many times, with each mount showing the same device
-+namespace. Changes made are global to all mounted devfs filesystems.
-+Also, because the devfs namespace exists without any devfs mounts, you
-+can easily mount the root filesystem by referring to an entry in the
-+devfs namespace.
-+
-+
-+The cost of devfs is a small increase in kernel code size and memory
-+usage. About 7 pages of code (some of that in __init sections) and 72
-+bytes for each entry in the namespace. A modest system has only a
-+couple of hundred device entries, so this costs a few more
-+pages. Compare this with the suggestion to put /dev on a <a
-+href="#why-faq-ramdisc">ramdisc.
-+
-+On a typical machine, the cost is under 0.2 percent. On a modest
-+system with 64 MBytes of RAM, the cost is under 0.1 percent.  The
-+accusations of "bloatware" levelled at devfs are not justified.
-+
-+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-+
-+
-+Why do it?
-+
-+There are several problems that devfs addresses. Some of these
-+problems are more serious than others (depending on your point of
-+view), and some can be solved without devfs. However, the totality of
-+these problems really calls out for devfs.
-+
-+The choice is a patchwork of inefficient user space solutions, which
-+are complex and likely to be fragile, or to use a simple and efficient
-+devfs which is robust.
-+
-+There have been many counter-proposals to devfs, all seeking to
-+provide some of the benefits without actually implementing devfs. So
-+far there has been an absence of code and no proposed alternative has
-+been able to provide all the features that devfs does. Further,
-+alternative proposals require far more complexity in user-space (and
-+still deliver less functionality than devfs). Some people have the
-+mantra of reducing "kernel bloat", but don't consider the effects on
-+user-space.
-+
-+A good solution limits the total complexity of kernel-space and
-+user-space.
-+
-+
-+Major&minor allocation
-+
-+The existing scheme requires the allocation of major and minor device
-+numbers for each and every device. This means that a central
-+co-ordinating authority is required to issue these device numbers
-+(unless you're developing a "private" device driver), in order to
-+preserve uniqueness. Devfs shifts the burden to a namespace. This may
-+not seem like a huge benefit, but actually it is. Since driver authors
-+will naturally choose a device name which reflects the functionality
-+of the device, there is far less potential for namespace conflict.
-+Solving this requires a kernel change.
-+
-+/dev management
-+
-+Because you currently access devices through device nodes, these must
-+be created by the system administrator. For standard devices you can
-+usually find a MAKEDEV programme which creates all these (hundreds!)
-+of nodes. This means that changes in the kernel must be reflected by
-+changes in the MAKEDEV programme, or else the system administrator
-+creates device nodes by hand.
-+
-+The basic problem is that there are two separate databases of
-+major and minor numbers. One is in the kernel and one is in /dev (or
-+in a MAKEDEV programme, if you want to look at it that way). This is
-+duplication of information, which is not good practice.
-+Solving this requires a kernel change.
-+
-+/dev growth
-+
-+A typical /dev has over 1200 nodes! Most of these devices simply don't
-+exist because the hardware is not available. A huge /dev increases the
-+time to access devices (I'm just referring to the dentry lookup times
-+and the time taken to read inodes off disc: the next subsection shows
-+some more horrors).
-+
-+An example of how big /dev can grow is if we consider SCSI devices:
-+
-+host           6  bits  (say up to 64 hosts on a really big machine)
-+channel        4  bits  (say up to 16 SCSI buses per host)
-+id             4  bits
-+lun            3  bits
-+partition      6  bits
-+TOTAL          23 bits
-+
-+
-+This requires 8 Mega (1024*1024) inodes if we want to store all
-+possible device nodes. Even if we scrap everything but id,partition
-+and assume a single host adapter with a single SCSI bus and only one
-+logical unit per SCSI target (id), that's still 10 bits or 1024
-+inodes. Each VFS inode takes around 256 bytes (kernel 2.1.78), so
-+that's 256 kBytes of inode storage on disc (assuming real inodes take
-+a similar amount of space as VFS inodes). This is actually not so bad,
-+because disc is cheap these days. Embedded systems would care about
-+256 kBytes of /dev inodes, but you could argue that embedded systems
-+would have hand-tuned /dev directories. I've had to do just that on my
-+embedded systems, but I would rather just leave it to devfs.
-+
-+Another issue is the time taken to lookup an inode when first
-+referenced. Not only does this take time in scanning through a list in
-+memory, but also the seek times to read the inodes off disc.
-+This could be solved in user-space using a clever programme which
-+scanned the kernel logs and deleted /dev entries which are not
-+available and created them when they were available. This programme
-+would need to be run every time a new module was loaded, which would
-+slow things down a lot.
-+
-+There is an existing programme called scsidev which will automatically
-+create device nodes for SCSI devices. It can do this by scanning files
-+in /proc/scsi. Unfortunately, to extend this idea to other device
-+nodes would require significant modifications to existing drivers (so
-+they too would provide information in /proc). This is a non-trivial
-+change (I should know: devfs has had to do something similar). Once
-+you go to this much effort, you may as well use devfs itself (which
-+also provides this information).  Furthermore, such a system would
-+likely be implemented in an ad-hoc fashion, as different drivers will
-+provide their information in different ways.
-+
-+Devfs is much cleaner, because it (naturally) has a uniform mechanism
-+to provide this information: the device nodes themselves!
-+
-+
-+Node to driver file_operations translation
-+
-+There is an important difference between the way disc-based character
-+and block nodes and devfs entries make the connection between an entry
-+in /dev and the actual device driver.
-+
-+With the current 8 bit major and minor numbers the connection between
-+disc-based c&b nodes and per-major drivers is done through a
-+fixed-length table of 128 entries. The various filesystem types set
-+the inode operations for c&b nodes to {chr,blk}dev_inode_operations,
-+so when a device is opened a few quick levels of indirection bring us
-+to the driver file_operations.
-+
-+For miscellaneous character devices a second step is required: there
-+is a scan for the driver entry with the same minor number as the file
-+that was opened, and the appropriate minor open method is called. This
-+scanning is done *every time* you open a device node. Potentially, you
-+may be searching through dozens of misc. entries before you find your
-+open method. While not an enormous performance overhead, this does
-+seem pointless.
-+
-+Linux *must* move beyond the 8 bit major and minor barrier,
-+somehow. If we simply increase each to 16 bits, then the indexing
-+scheme used for major driver lookup becomes untenable, because the
-+major tables (one each for character and block devices) would need to
-+be 64 k entries long (512 kBytes on x86, 1 MByte for 64 bit
-+systems). So we would have to use a scheme like that used for
-+miscellaneous character devices, which means the search time goes up
-+linearly with the average number of major device drivers on your
-+system. Not all "devices" are hardware, some are higher-level drivers
-+like KGI, so you can get more "devices" without adding hardware
-+You can improve this by creating an ordered (balanced:-)
-+binary tree, in which case your search time becomes log(N).
-+Alternatively, you can use hashing to speed up the search.
-+But why do that search at all if you don't have to? Once again, it
-+seems pointless.
-+
-+Note that devfs doesn't use the major&minor system. For devfs
-+entries, the connection is done when you lookup the /dev entry. When
-+devfs_register() is called, an internal table is appended which has
-+the entry name and the file_operations. If the dentry cache doesn't
-+have the /dev entry already, this internal table is scanned to get the
-+file_operations, and an inode is created. If the dentry cache already
-+has the entry, there is *no lookup time* (other than the dentry scan
-+itself, but we can't avoid that anyway, and besides Linux dentries
-+cream other OS's which don't have them:-). Furthermore, the number of
-+node entries in a devfs is only the number of available device
-+entries, not the number of *conceivable* entries. Even if you remove
-+unnecessary entries in a disc-based /dev, the number of conceivable
-+entries remains the same: you just limit yourself in order to save
-+space.
-+
-+Devfs provides a fast connection between a VFS node and the device
-+driver, in a scalable way.
-+
-+/dev as a system administration tool
-+
-+Right now /dev contains a list of conceivable devices, most of which I
-+don't have. Devfs only shows those devices available on my
-+system. This means that listing /dev is a handy way of checking what
-+devices are available.
-+
-+Major&minor size
-+
-+Existing major and minor numbers are limited to 8 bits each. This is
-+now a limiting factor for some drivers, particularly the SCSI disc
-+driver, which consumes a single major number. Only 16 discs are
-+supported, and each disc may have only 15 partitions. Maybe this isn't
-+a problem for you, but some of us are building huge Linux systems with
-+disc arrays. With devfs an arbitrary pointer can be associated with
-+each device entry, which can be used to give an effective 32 bit
-+device identifier (i.e. that's like having a 32 bit minor
-+number). Since this is private to the kernel, there are no C library
-+compatibility issues which you would have with increasing major and
-+minor number sizes. See the section on "Allocation of Device Numbers"
-+for details on maintaining compatibility with userspace.
-+
-+Solving this requires a kernel change.
-+
-+Since writing this, the kernel has been modified so that the SCSI disc
-+driver has more major numbers allocated to it and now supports up to
-+128 discs. Since these major numbers are non-contiguous (a result of
-+unplanned expansion), the implementation is a little more cumbersome
-+than originally.
-+
-+Just like the changes to IPv4 to fix impending limitations in the
-+address space, people find ways around the limitations. In the long
-+run, however, solutions like IPv6 or devfs can't be put off forever.
-+
-+Read-only root filesystem
-+
-+Having your device nodes on the root filesystem means that you can't
-+operate properly with a read-only root filesystem. This is because you
-+want to change ownerships and protections of tty devices. Existing
-+practice prevents you using a CD-ROM as your root filesystem for a
-+*real* system. Sure, you can boot off a CD-ROM, but you can't change
-+tty ownerships, so it's only good for installing.
-+
-+Also, you can't use a shared NFS root filesystem for a cluster of
-+discless Linux machines (having tty ownerships changed on a common
-+/dev is not good). Nor can you embed your root filesystem in a
-+ROM-FS.
-+
-+You can get around this by creating a RAMDISC at boot time, making
-+an ext2 filesystem in it, mounting it somewhere and copying the
-+contents of /dev into it, then unmounting it and mounting it over
-+/dev.
-+
-+A devfs is a cleaner way of solving this.
-+
-+Non-Unix root filesystem
-+
-+Non-Unix filesystems (such as NTFS) can't be used for a root
-+filesystem because they variously don't support character and block
-+special files or symbolic links. You can't have a separate disc-based
-+or RAMDISC-based filesystem mounted on /dev because you need device
-+nodes before you can mount these. Devfs can be mounted without any
-+device nodes. Devlinks won't work because symlinks aren't supported.
-+An alternative solution is to use initrd to mount a RAMDISC initial
-+root filesystem (which is populated with a minimal set of device
-+nodes), and then construct a new /dev in another RAMDISC, and finally
-+switch to your non-Unix root filesystem. This requires clever boot
-+scripts and a fragile and conceptually complex boot procedure.
-+
-+Devfs solves this in a robust and conceptually simple way.
-+
-+PTY security
-+
-+Current pseudo-tty (pty) devices are owned by root and read-writable
-+by everyone. The user of a pty-pair cannot change
-+ownership/protections without being suid-root.
-+
-+This could be solved with a secure user-space daemon which runs as
-+root and does the actual creation of pty-pairs. Such a daemon would
-+require modification to *every* programme that wants to use this new
-+mechanism. It also slows down creation of pty-pairs.
-+
-+An alternative is to create a new open_pty() syscall which does much
-+the same thing as the user-space daemon. Once again, this requires
-+modifications to pty-handling programmes.
-+
-+The devfs solution allows a device driver to "tag" certain device
-+files so that when an unopened device is opened, the ownerships are
-+changed to the current euid and egid of the opening process, and the
-+protections are changed to the default registered by the driver. When
-+the device is closed ownership is set back to root and protections are
-+set back to read-write for everybody. No programme need be changed.
-+The devpts filesystem provides this auto-ownership feature for Unix98
-+ptys. It doesn't support old-style pty devices, nor does it have all
-+the other features of devfs.
-+
-+Intelligent device management
-+
-+Devfs implements a simple yet powerful protocol for communication with
-+a device management daemon (devfsd) which runs in user space. It is
-+possible to send a message (either synchronously or asynchronously) to
-+devfsd on any event, such as registration/unregistration of device
-+entries, opening and closing devices, looking up inodes, scanning
-+directories and more. This has many possibilities. Some of these are
-+already implemented. See:
-+
-+
-+http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/
-+
-+Device entry registration events can be used by devfsd to change
-+permissions of newly-created device nodes. This is one mechanism to
-+control device permissions.
-+
-+Device entry registration/unregistration events can be used to run
-+programmes or scripts. This can be used to provide automatic mounting
-+of filesystems when a new block device media is inserted into the
-+drive.
-+
-+Asynchronous device open and close events can be used to implement
-+clever permissions management. For example, the default permissions on
-+/dev/dsp do not allow everybody to read from the device. This is
-+sensible, as you don't want some remote user recording what you say at
-+your console. However, the console user is also prevented from
-+recording. This behaviour is not desirable. With asynchronous device
-+open and close events, you can have devfsd run a programme or script
-+when console devices are opened to change the ownerships for *other*
-+device nodes (such as /dev/dsp). On closure, you can run a different
-+script to restore permissions. An advantage of this scheme over
-+modifying the C library tty handling is that this works even if your
-+programme crashes (how many times have you seen the utmp database with
-+lingering entries for non-existent logins?).
-+
-+Synchronous device open events can be used to perform intelligent
-+device access protections. Before the device driver open() method is
-+called, the daemon must first validate the open attempt, by running an
-+external programme or script. This is far more flexible than access
-+control lists, as access can be determined on the basis of other
-+system conditions instead of just the UID and GID.
-+
-+Inode lookup events can be used to authenticate module autoload
-+requests. Instead of using kmod directly, the event is sent to
-+devfsd which can implement an arbitrary authentication before loading
-+the module itself.
-+
-+Inode lookup events can also be used to construct arbitrary
-+namespaces, without having to resort to populating devfs with symlinks
-+to devices that don't exist.
-+
-+Speculative Device Scanning
-+
-+Consider an application (like cdparanoia) that wants to find all
-+CD-ROM devices on the system (SCSI, IDE and other types), whether or
-+not their respective modules are loaded. The application must
-+speculatively open certain device nodes (such as /dev/sr0 for the SCSI
-+CD-ROMs) in order to make sure the module is loaded. This requires
-+that all Linux distributions follow the standard device naming scheme
-+(last time I looked RedHat did things differently). Devfs solves the
-+naming problem.
-+
-+The same application also wants to see which devices are actually
-+available on the system. With the existing system it needs to read the
-+/dev directory and speculatively open each /dev/sr* device to
-+determine if the device exists or not. With a large /dev this is an
-+inefficient operation, especially if there are many /dev/sr* nodes. A
-+solution like scsidev could reduce the number of /dev/sr* entries (but
-+of course that also requires all that inefficient directory scanning).
-+
-+With devfs, the application can open the /dev/sr directory
-+(which triggers the module autoloading if required), and proceed to
-+read /dev/sr. Since only the available devices will have
-+entries, there are no inefficencies in directory scanning or device
-+openings.
-+
-+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-+
-+Who else does it?
-+
-+FreeBSD has a devfs implementation. Solaris and AIX each have a
-+pseudo-devfs (something akin to scsidev but for all devices, with some
-+unspecified kernel support). BeOS, Plan9 and QNX also have it. SGI's
-+IRIX 6.4 and above also have a device filesystem.
-+
-+While we shouldn't just automatically do something because others do
-+it, we should not ignore the work of others either. FreeBSD has a lot
-+of competent people working on it, so their opinion should not be
-+blithely ignored.
-+
-+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-+
-+
-+How it works
-+
-+Registering device entries
-+
-+For every entry (device node) in a devfs-based /dev a driver must call
-+devfs_register(). This adds the name of the device entry, the
-+file_operations structure pointer and a few other things to an
-+internal table. Device entries may be added and removed at any
-+time. When a device entry is registered, it automagically appears in
-+any mounted devfs'.
-+
-+Inode lookup
-+
-+When a lookup operation on an entry is performed and if there is no
-+driver information for that entry devfs will attempt to call
-+devfsd. If still no driver information can be found then a negative
-+dentry is yielded and the next stage operation will be called by the
-+VFS (such as create() or mknod() inode methods). If driver information
-+can be found, an inode is created (if one does not exist already) and
-+all is well.
-+
-+Manually creating device nodes
-+
-+The mknod() method allows you to create an ordinary named pipe in the
-+devfs, or you can create a character or block special inode if one
-+does not already exist. You may wish to create a character or block
-+special inode so that you can set permissions and ownership. Later, if
-+a device driver registers an entry with the same name, the
-+permissions, ownership and times are retained. This is how you can set
-+the protections on a device even before the driver is loaded. Once you
-+create an inode it appears in the directory listing.
-+
-+Unregistering device entries
-+
-+A device driver calls devfs_unregister() to unregister an entry.
-+
-+Chroot() gaols
-+
-+2.2.x kernels
-+
-+The semantics of inode creation are different when devfs is mounted
-+with the "explicit" option. Now, when a device entry is registered, it
-+will not appear until you use mknod() to create the device. It doesn't
-+matter if you mknod() before or after the device is registered with
-+devfs_register(). The purpose of this behaviour is to support
-+chroot(2) gaols, where you want to mount a minimal devfs inside the
-+gaol. Only the devices you specifically want to be available (through
-+your mknod() setup) will be accessible.
-+
-+2.4.x kernels
-+
-+As of kernel 2.3.99, the VFS has had the ability to rebind parts of
-+the global filesystem namespace into another part of the namespace.
-+This now works even at the leaf-node level, which means that
-+individual files and device nodes may be bound into other parts of the
-+namespace. This is like making links, but better, because it works
-+across filesystems (unlike hard links) and works through chroot()
-+gaols (unlike symbolic links).
-+
-+Because of these improvements to the VFS, the multi-mount capability
-+in devfs is no longer needed. The administrator may create a minimal
-+device tree inside a chroot(2) gaol by using VFS bindings. As this
-+provides most of the features of the devfs multi-mount capability, I
-+removed the multi-mount support code (after issuing an RFC). This
-+yielded code size reductions and simplifications.
-+
-+If you want to construct a minimal chroot() gaol, the following
-+command should suffice:
-+
-+mount --bind /dev/null /gaol/dev/null
-+
-+
-+Repeat for other device nodes you want to expose. Simple!
-+

-+
-+
-+Operational issues
-+
-+
-+Instructions for the impatient
-+
-+Nobody likes reading documentation. People just want to get in there
-+and play. So this section tells you quickly the steps you need to take
-+to run with devfs mounted over /dev. Skip these steps and you will end
-+up with a nearly unbootable system. Subsequent sections describe the
-+issues in more detail, and discuss non-essential configuration
-+options.
-+
-+Devfsd
-+OK, if you're reading this, I assume you want to play with
-+devfs. First you should ensure that /usr/src/linux contains a
-+recent kernel source tree. Then you need to compile devfsd, the device
-+management daemon, available at
-+
-+http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/.
-+Because the kernel has a naming scheme
-+which is quite different from the old naming scheme, you need to
-+install devfsd so that software and configuration files that use the
-+old naming scheme will not break.
-+
-+Compile and install devfsd. You will be provided with a default
-+configuration file /etc/devfsd.conf which will provide
-+compatibility symlinks for the old naming scheme. Don't change this
-+config file unless you know what you're doing. Even if you think you
-+do know what you're doing, don't change it until you've followed all
-+the steps below and booted a devfs-enabled system and verified that it
-+works.
-+
-+Now edit your main system boot script so that devfsd is started at the
-+very beginning (before any filesystem
-+checks). /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is often the main boot script
-+on systems with SysV-style boot scripts. On systems with BSD-style
-+boot scripts it is often /etc/rc. Also check
-+/sbin/rc.
-+
-+NOTE that the line you put into the boot
-+script should be exactly:
-+
-+/sbin/devfsd /dev
-+
-+DO NOT use some special daemon-launching
-+programme, otherwise the boot script may not wait for devfsd to finish
-+initialising.
-+
-+System Libraries
-+There may still be some problems because of broken software making
-+assumptions about device names. In particular, some software does not
-+handle devices which are symbolic links. If you are running a libc 5
-+based system, install libc 5.4.44 (if you have libc 5.4.46, go back to
-+libc 5.4.44, which is actually correct). If you are running a glibc
-+based system, make sure you have glibc 2.1.3 or later.
-+
-+/etc/securetty
-+PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is supposed to be a flexible
-+mechanism for providing better user authentication and access to
-+services. Unfortunately, it's also fragile, complex and undocumented
-+(check out RedHat 6.1, and probably other distributions as well). PAM
-+has problems with symbolic links. Append the following lines to your
-+/etc/securetty file:
-+
-+vc/1
-+vc/2
-+vc/3
-+vc/4
-+vc/5
-+vc/6
-+vc/7
-+vc/8
-+
-+This will not weaken security. If you have a version of util-linux
-+earlier than 2.10.h, please upgrade to 2.10.h or later. If you
-+absolutely cannot upgrade, then also append the following lines to
-+your /etc/securetty file:
-+
-+1
-+2
-+3
-+4
-+5
-+6
-+7
-+8
-+
-+This may potentially weaken security by allowing root logins over the
-+network (a password is still required, though). However, since there
-+are problems with dealing with symlinks, I'm suspicious of the level
-+of security offered in any case.
-+
-+XFree86
-+While not essential, it's probably a good idea to upgrade to XFree86
-+4.0, as patches went in to make it more devfs-friendly. If you don't,
-+you'll probably need to apply the following patch to
-+/etc/security/console.perms so that ordinary users can run
-+startx. Note that not all distributions have this file (e.g. Debian),
-+so if it's not present, don't worry about it.

-+
-+Disable devpts
-+I've had a report of devpts mounted on /dev/pts not working
-+correctly. Since devfs will also manage /dev/pts, there is no
-+need to mount devpts as well. You should either edit your
-+/etc/fstab so devpts is not mounted, or disable devpts from
-+your kernel configuration.
-+
-+Unsupported drivers
-+Not all drivers have devfs support. If you depend on one of these
-+drivers, you will need to create a script or tarfile that you can use
-+at boot time to create device nodes as appropriate. There is a
-+section which describes this. Another
-+section lists the drivers which have
-+devfs support.
-+
-+/dev/mouse
-+
-+Many disributions configure /dev/mouse to be the mouse device
-+for XFree86 and GPM. I actually think this is a bad idea, because it
-+adds another level of indirection. When looking at a config file, if
-+you see /dev/mouse you're left wondering which mouse
-+is being referred to. Hence I recommend putting the actual mouse
-+device (for example /dev/psaux) into your
-+/etc/X11/XF86Config file (and similarly for the GPM
-+configuration file).
-+
-+Alternatively, use the same technique used for unsupported drivers
-+described above.
-+
-+The Kernel
-+Finally, you need to make sure devfs is compiled into your kernel. Set
-+CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y, CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y and CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y by
-+using favourite configuration tool (i.e. make config or
-+make xconfig) and then make clean and then recompile your kernel and 
-+modules. At boot, devfs will be mounted onto /dev.
-+
-+If you encounter problems booting (for example if you forgot a
-+configuration step), you can pass devfs=nomount at the kernel
-+boot command line. This will prevent the kernel from mounting devfs at
-+boot time onto /dev.
-+
-+In general, a kernel built with CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y but without mounting
-+devfs onto /dev is completely safe, and requires no
-+configuration changes. One exception to take note of is when
-+LABEL= directives are used in /etc/fstab. In this
-+case you will be unable to boot properly. This is because the
-+mount(8) programme uses /proc/partitions as part of
-+the volume label search process, and the device names it finds are not
-+available, because setting CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y changes the names in
-+/proc/partitions, irrespective of whether devfs is mounted.
-+
-+Now you've finished all the steps required. You're now ready to boot
-+your shiny new kernel. Enjoy.
-+
-+Changing the configuration
-+
-+OK, you've now booted a devfs-enabled system, and everything works.
-+Now you may feel like changing the configuration (common targets are
-+/etc/fstab and /etc/devfsd.conf). Since you have a
-+system that works, if you make any changes and it doesn't work, you
-+now know that you only have to restore your configuration files to the
-+default and it will work again.
-+
-+
-+Permissions persistence across reboots
-+
-+If you don't use mknod(2) to create a device file, nor use chmod(2) or
-+chown(2) to change the ownerships/permissions, the inode ctime will
-+remain at 0 (the epoch, 12 am, 1-JAN-1970, GMT). Anything with a ctime
-+later than this has had it's ownership/permissions changed. Hence, a
-+simple script or programme may be used to tar up all changed inodes,
-+prior to shutdown. Although effective, many consider this approach a
-+kludge.
-+
-+A much better approach is to use devfsd to save and restore
-+permissions. It may be configured to record changes in permissions and
-+will save them in a database (in fact a directory tree), and restore
-+these upon boot. This is an efficient method and results in immediate
-+saving of current permissions (unlike the tar approach, which saves
-+permissions at some unspecified future time).
-+
-+The default configuration file supplied with devfsd has config entries
-+which you may uncomment to enable persistence management.
-+
-+If you decide to use the tar approach anyway, be aware that tar will
-+first unlink(2) an inode before creating a new device node. The
-+unlink(2) has the effect of breaking the connection between a devfs
-+entry and the device driver. If you use the "devfs=only" boot option,
-+you lose access to the device driver, requiring you to reload the
-+module. I consider this a bug in tar (there is no real need to
-+unlink(2) the inode first).
-+
-+Alternatively, you can use devfsd to provide more sophisticated
-+management of device permissions. You can use devfsd to store
-+permissions for whole groups of devices with a single configuration
-+entry, rather than the conventional single entry per device entry.
-+
-+Permissions database stored in mounted-over /dev
-+
-+If you wish to save and restore your device permissions into the
-+disc-based /dev while still mounting devfs onto /dev
-+you may do so. This requires a 2.4.x kernel (in fact, 2.3.99 or
-+later), which has the VFS binding facility. You need to do the
-+following to set this up:
-+
-+
-+
-+make sure the kernel does not mount devfs at boot time
-+
-+
-+make sure you have a correct /dev/console entry in your
-+root file-system (where your disc-based /dev lives)
-+
-+create the /dev-state directory
-+
-+
-+add the following lines near the very beginning of your boot
-+scripts:
-+
-+mount --bind /dev /dev-state
-+mount -t devfs none /dev
-+devfsd /dev
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+add the following lines to your /etc/devfsd.conf file:
-+
-+REGISTER	^pt[sy]		IGNORE
-+CREATE		^pt[sy]		IGNORE
-+CHANGE		^pt[sy]		IGNORE
-+DELETE		^pt[sy]		IGNORE
-+REGISTER	.*		COPY	/dev-state/$devname $devpath
-+CREATE		.*		COPY	$devpath /dev-state/$devname
-+CHANGE		.*		COPY	$devpath /dev-state/$devname
-+DELETE		.*		CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink /dev-state/$devname
-+RESTORE		/dev-state
-+
-+Note that the sample devfsd.conf file contains these lines,
-+as well as other sample configurations you may find useful. See the
-+devfsd distribution
-+
-+
-+reboot.
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Permissions database stored in normal directory
-+
-+If you are using an older kernel which doesn't support VFS binding,
-+then you won't be able to have the permissions database in a
-+mounted-over /dev. However, you can still use a regular
-+directory to store the database. The sample /etc/devfsd.conf
-+file above may still be used. You will need to create the
-+/dev-state directory prior to installing devfsd. If you have
-+old permissions in /dev, then just copy (or move) the device
-+nodes over to the new directory.
-+
-+Which method is better?
-+
-+The best method is to have the permissions database stored in the
-+mounted-over /dev. This is because you will not need to copy
-+device nodes over to /dev-state, and because it allows you to
-+switch between devfs and non-devfs kernels, without requiring you to
-+copy permissions between /dev-state (for devfs) and
-+/dev (for non-devfs).
-+
-+
-+Dealing with drivers without devfs support
-+
-+Currently, not all device drivers in the kernel have been modified to
-+use devfs. Device drivers which do not yet have devfs support will not
-+automagically appear in devfs. The simplest way to create device nodes
-+for these drivers is to unpack a tarfile containing the required
-+device nodes. You can do this in your boot scripts. All your drivers
-+will now work as before.
-+
-+Hopefully for most people devfs will have enough support so that they
-+can mount devfs directly over /dev without losing most functionality
-+(i.e. losing access to various devices). As of 22-JAN-1998 (devfs
-+patch version 10) I am now running this way. All the devices I have
-+are available in devfs, so I don't lose anything.
-+
-+WARNING: if your configuration requires the old-style device names
-+(i.e. /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1), you must install devfsd and configure
-+it to maintain compatibility entries. It is almost certain that you
-+will require this. Note that the kernel creates a compatibility entry
-+for the root device, so you don't need initrd.
-+
-+Note that you no longer need to mount devpts if you use Unix98 PTYs,
-+as devfs can manage /dev/pts itself. This saves you some RAM, as you
-+don't need to compile and install devpts. Note that some versions of
-+glibc have a bug with Unix98 pty handling on devfs systems. Contact
-+the glibc maintainers for a fix. Glibc 2.1.3 has the fix.
-+
-+Note also that apart from editing /etc/fstab, other things will need
-+to be changed if you *don't* install devfsd. Some software (like the X
-+server) hard-wire device names in their source. It really is much
-+easier to install devfsd so that compatibility entries are created.
-+You can then slowly migrate your system to using the new device names
-+(for example, by starting with /etc/fstab), and then limiting the
-+compatibility entries that devfsd creates.
-+
-+IF YOU CONFIGURE TO MOUNT DEVFS AT BOOT, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL DEVFSD
-+BEFORE YOU BOOT A DEVFS-ENABLED KERNEL!
-+
-+Now that devfs has gone into the 2.3.46 kernel, I'm getting a lot of
-+reports back. Many of these are because people are trying to run
-+without devfsd, and hence some things break. Please just run devfsd if
-+things break. I want to concentrate on real bugs rather than
-+misconfiguration problems at the moment. If people are willing to fix
-+bugs/false assumptions in other code (i.e. glibc, X server) and submit
-+that to the respective maintainers, that would be great.
-+
-+
-+All the way with Devfs
-+
-+The devfs kernel patch creates a rationalised device tree. As stated
-+above, if you want to keep using the old /dev naming scheme,
-+you just need to configure devfsd appopriately (see the man
-+page). People who prefer the old names can ignore this section. For
-+those of us who like the rationalised names and an uncluttered
-+/dev, read on.
-+
-+If you don't run devfsd, or don't enable compatibility entry
-+management, then you will have to configure your system to use the new
-+names. For example, you will then need to edit your
-+/etc/fstab to use the new disc naming scheme. If you want to
-+be able to boot non-devfs kernels, you will need compatibility
-+symlinks in the underlying disc-based /dev pointing back to
-+the old-style names for when you boot a kernel without devfs.
-+
-+You can selectively decide which devices you want compatibility
-+entries for. For example, you may only want compatibility entries for
-+BSD pseudo-terminal devices (otherwise you'll have to patch you C
-+library or use Unix98 ptys instead). It's just a matter of putting in
-+the correct regular expression into /dev/devfsd.conf.
-+
-+There are other choices of naming schemes that you may prefer. For
-+example, I don't use the kernel-supplied
-+names, because they are too verbose. A common misconception is
-+that the kernel-supplied names are meant to be used directly in
-+configuration files. This is not the case. They are designed to
-+reflect the layout of the devices attached and to provide easy
-+classification.
-+
-+If you like the kernel-supplied names, that's fine. If you don't then
-+you should be using devfsd to construct a namespace more to your
-+liking. Devfsd has built-in code to construct a
-+namespace that is both logical and easy to
-+manage. In essence, it creates a convenient abbreviation of the
-+kernel-supplied namespace.
-+
-+You are of course free to build your own namespace. Devfsd has all the
-+infrastructure required to make this easy for you. All you need do is
-+write a script. You can even write some C code and devfsd can load the
-+shared object as a callable extension.
-+
-+
-+Other Issues
-+
-+The init programme
-+Another thing to take note of is whether your init programme
-+creates a Unix socket /dev/telinit. Some versions of init
-+create /dev/telinit so that the telinit programme can
-+communicate with the init process. If you have such a system you need
-+to make sure that devfs is mounted over /dev *before* init
-+starts. In other words, you can't leave the mounting of devfs to
-+/etc/rc, since this is executed after init. Other
-+versions of init require a named pipe /dev/initctl
-+which must exist *before* init starts. Once again, you need to
-+mount devfs and then create the named pipe *before* init
-+starts.
-+
-+The default behaviour now is not to mount devfs onto /dev at
-+boot time for 2.3.x and later kernels. You can correct this with the
-+"devfs=mount" boot option. This solves any problems with init,
-+and also prevents the dreaded:
-+
-+Cannot open initial console
-+
-+message. For 2.2.x kernels where you need to apply the devfs patch,
-+the default is to mount.
-+
-+If you have automatic mounting of devfs onto /dev then you
-+may need to create /dev/initctl in your boot scripts. The
-+following lines should suffice:
-+
-+mknod /dev/initctl p
-+kill -SIGUSR1 1       # tell init that /dev/initctl now exists
-+
-+Alternatively, if you don't want the kernel to mount devfs onto
-+/dev then you could use the following procedure is a
-+guideline for how to get around /dev/initctl problems:
-+
-+# cd /sbin
-+# mv init init.real
-+# cat > init
-+#! /bin/sh
-+mount -n -t devfs none /dev
-+mknod /dev/initctl p
-+exec /sbin/init.real $*
-+[control-D]
-+# chmod a+x init
-+
-+Note that newer versions of init create /dev/initctl
-+automatically, so you don't have to worry about this.
-+
-+Module autoloading
-+You will need to configure devfsd to enable module
-+autoloading. The following lines should be placed in your
-+/etc/devfsd.conf file:
-+
-+LOOKUP	.*		MODLOAD
-+
-+
-+As of devfsd-v1.3.10, a generic /etc/modules.devfs
-+configuration file is installed, which is used by the MODLOAD
-+action. This should be sufficient for most configurations. If you
-+require further configuration, edit your /etc/modules.conf
-+file. The way module autoloading work with devfs is:
-+
-+
-+a process attempts to lookup a device node (e.g. /dev/fred)
-+
-+
-+if that device node does not exist, the full pathname is passed to
-+devfsd as a string
-+
-+
-+devfsd will pass the string to the modprobe programme (provided the
-+configuration line shown above is present), and specifies that
-+/etc/modules.devfs is the configuration file
-+
-+
-+/etc/modules.devfs includes /etc/modules.conf to
-+access local configurations
-+
-+modprobe will search it's configuration files, looking for an alias
-+that translates the pathname into a module name
-+
-+
-+the translated pathname is then used to load the module.
-+
-+
-+If you wanted a lookup of /dev/fred to load the
-+mymod module, you would require the following configuration
-+line in /etc/modules.conf:
-+
-+alias    /dev/fred    mymod
-+
-+The /etc/modules.devfs configuration file provides many such
-+aliases for standard device names. If you look closely at this file,
-+you will note that some modules require multiple alias configuration
-+lines. This is required to support module autoloading for old and new
-+device names.
-+
-+Mounting root off a devfs device
-+If you wish to mount root off a devfs device when you pass the
-+"devfs=only" boot option, then you need to pass in the
-+"root=<device>" option to the kernel when booting. If you use
-+LILO, then you must have this in lilo.conf:
-+
-+append = "root=<device>"
-+
-+Surprised? Yep, so was I. It turns out if you have (as most people
-+do):
-+
-+root = <device>
-+
-+
-+then LILO will determine the device number of <device> and will
-+write that device number into a special place in the kernel image
-+before starting the kernel, and the kernel will use that device number
-+to mount the root filesystem. So, using the "append" variety ensures
-+that LILO passes the root filesystem device as a string, which devfs
-+can then use.
-+
-+Note that this isn't an issue if you don't pass "devfs=only".
-+
-+TTY issues
-+The ttyname(3) function in some versions of the C library makes
-+false assumptions about device entries which are symbolic links.  The
-+tty(1) programme is one that depends on this function.  I've
-+written a patch to libc 5.4.43 which fixes this. This has been
-+included in libc 5.4.44 and a similar fix is in glibc 2.1.3.
-+
-+
-+Kernel Naming Scheme
-+
-+The kernel provides a default naming scheme. This scheme is designed
-+to make it easy to search for specific devices or device types, and to
-+view the available devices. Some device types (such as hard discs),
-+have a directory of entries, making it easy to see what devices of
-+that class are available. Often, the entries are symbolic links into a
-+directory tree that reflects the topology of available devices. The
-+topological tree is useful for finding how your devices are arranged.
-+
-+Below is a list of the naming schemes for the most common drivers. A
-+list of reserved device names is
-+available for reference. Please send email to
-+rgooch@atnf.csiro.au to obtain an allocation. Please be
-+patient (the maintainer is busy). An alternative name may be allocated
-+instead of the requested name, at the discretion of the maintainer.
-+
-+Disc Devices
-+
-+All discs, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the
-+/dev/discs hierarchy:
-+
-+	/dev/discs/disc0	first disc
-+	/dev/discs/disc1	second disc
-+
-+
-+Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the directory for that
-+device. The device directory contains:
-+
-+	disc	for the whole disc
-+	part*	for individual partitions
-+
-+
-+CD-ROM Devices
-+
-+All CD-ROMs, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the
-+/dev/cdroms hierarchy:
-+
-+	/dev/cdroms/cdrom0	first CD-ROM
-+	/dev/cdroms/cdrom1	second CD-ROM
-+
-+
-+Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the real device entry for
-+that device.
-+
-+Tape Devices
-+
-+All tapes, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the
-+/dev/tapes hierarchy:
-+
-+	/dev/tapes/tape0	first tape
-+	/dev/tapes/tape1	second tape
-+
-+
-+Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the directory for that
-+device. The device directory contains:
-+
-+	mt			for mode 0
-+	mtl			for mode 1
-+	mtm			for mode 2
-+	mta			for mode 3
-+	mtn			for mode 0, no rewind
-+	mtln			for mode 1, no rewind
-+	mtmn			for mode 2, no rewind
-+	mtan			for mode 3, no rewind
-+
-+
-+SCSI Devices
-+
-+To uniquely identify any SCSI device requires the following
-+information:
-+
-+  controller	(host adapter)
-+  bus		(SCSI channel)
-+  target	(SCSI ID)
-+  unit		(Logical Unit Number)
-+
-+
-+All SCSI devices are placed under /dev/scsi (assuming devfs
-+is mounted on /dev). Hence, a SCSI device with the following
-+parameters: c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as:
-+
-+	/dev/scsi/host1/bus2/target3/lun4	device directory
-+
-+
-+Inside this directory, a number of device entries may be created,
-+depending on which SCSI device-type drivers were installed.
-+
-+See the section on the disc naming scheme to see what entries the SCSI
-+disc driver creates.
-+
-+See the section on the tape naming scheme to see what entries the SCSI
-+tape driver creates.
-+
-+The SCSI CD-ROM driver creates:
-+
-+	cd
-+
-+
-+The SCSI generic driver creates:
-+
-+	generic
-+
-+
-+IDE Devices
-+
-+To uniquely identify any IDE device requires the following
-+information:
-+
-+  controller
-+  bus		(aka. primary/secondary)
-+  target	(aka. master/slave)
-+  unit
-+
-+
-+All IDE devices are placed under /dev/ide, and uses a similar
-+naming scheme to the SCSI subsystem.
-+
-+XT Hard Discs
-+
-+All XT discs are placed under /dev/xd. The first XT disc has
-+the directory /dev/xd/disc0.
-+
-+TTY devices
-+
-+The tty devices now appear as:
-+
-+  New name                   Old-name                   Device Type
-+  --------                   --------                   -----------
-+  /dev/tts/{0,1,...}         /dev/ttyS{0,1,...}         Serial ports
-+  /dev/cua/{0,1,...}         /dev/cua{0,1,...}          Call out devices
-+  /dev/vc/0                  /dev/tty                   Current virtual console
-+  /dev/vc/{1,2,...}          /dev/tty{1...63}           Virtual consoles
-+  /dev/vcc/{0,1,...}         /dev/vcs{1...63}           Virtual consoles
-+  /dev/pty/m{0,1,...}        /dev/ptyp??                PTY masters
-+  /dev/pty/s{0,1,...}        /dev/ttyp??                PTY slaves
-+
-+
-+RAMDISCS
-+
-+The RAMDISCS are placed in their own directory, and are named thus:
-+
-+  /dev/rd/{0,1,2,...}
-+
-+
-+Meta Devices
-+
-+The meta devices are placed in their own directory, and are named
-+thus:
-+
-+  /dev/md/{0,1,2,...}
-+
-+
-+Floppy discs
-+
-+Floppy discs are placed in the /dev/floppy directory.
-+
-+Loop devices
-+
-+Loop devices are placed in the /dev/loop directory.
-+
-+Sound devices
-+
-+Sound devices are placed in the /dev/sound directory
-+(audio, sequencer, ...).
-+
-+
-+Devfsd Naming Scheme
-+
-+Devfsd provides a naming scheme which is a convenient abbreviation of
-+the kernel-supplied namespace. In some
-+cases, the kernel-supplied naming scheme is quite convenient, so
-+devfsd does not provide another naming scheme. The convenience names
-+that devfsd creates are in fact the same names as the original devfs
-+kernel patch created (before Linus mandated the Big Name
-+Change). These are referred to as "new compatibility entries".
-+
-+In order to configure devfsd to create these convenience names, the
-+following lines should be placed in your /etc/devfsd.conf:
-+
-+REGISTER	.*		MKNEWCOMPAT
-+UNREGISTER	.*		RMNEWCOMPAT
-+
-+This will cause devfsd to create (and destroy) symbolic links which
-+point to the kernel-supplied names.
-+
-+SCSI Hard Discs
-+
-+All SCSI discs are placed under /dev/sd (assuming devfs is
-+mounted on /dev). Hence, a SCSI disc with the following
-+parameters: c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as:
-+
-+	/dev/sd/c1b2t3u4	for the whole disc
-+	/dev/sd/c1b2t3u4p5	for the 5th partition
-+	/dev/sd/c1b2t3u4p5s6	for the 6th slice in the 5th partition
-+
-+
-+SCSI Tapes
-+
-+All SCSI tapes are placed under /dev/st. A similar naming
-+scheme is used as for SCSI discs. A SCSI tape with the
-+parameters:c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as:
-+
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m0	for mode 0
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m1	for mode 1
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m2	for mode 2
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m3	for mode 3
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m0n	for mode 0, no rewind
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m1n	for mode 1, no rewind
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m2n	for mode 2, no rewind
-+	/dev/st/c1b2t3u4m3n	for mode 3, no rewind
-+
-+
-+SCSI CD-ROMs
-+
-+All SCSI CD-ROMs are placed under /dev/sr. A similar naming
-+scheme is used as for SCSI discs. A SCSI CD-ROM with the
-+parameters:c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as:
-+
-+	/dev/sr/c1b2t3u4
-+
-+
-+SCSI Generic Devices
-+
-+The generic (aka. raw) interface for all SCSI devices are placed under
-+/dev/sg. A similar naming scheme is used as for SCSI discs. A
-+SCSI generic device with the parameters:c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear
-+as:
-+
-+	/dev/sg/c1b2t3u4
-+
-+
-+IDE Hard Discs
-+
-+All IDE discs are placed under /dev/ide/hd, using a similar
-+convention to SCSI discs. The following mappings exist between the new
-+and the old names:
-+
-+	/dev/hda	/dev/ide/hd/c0b0t0u0
-+	/dev/hdb	/dev/ide/hd/c0b0t1u0
-+	/dev/hdc	/dev/ide/hd/c0b1t0u0
-+	/dev/hdd	/dev/ide/hd/c0b1t1u0
-+
-+
-+IDE Tapes
-+
-+A similar naming scheme is used as for IDE discs. The entries will
-+appear in the /dev/ide/mt directory.
-+
-+IDE CD-ROM
-+
-+A similar naming scheme is used as for IDE discs. The entries will
-+appear in the /dev/ide/cd directory.
-+
-+IDE Floppies
-+
-+A similar naming scheme is used as for IDE discs. The entries will
-+appear in the /dev/ide/fd directory.
-+
-+XT Hard Discs
-+
-+All XT discs are placed under /dev/xd. The first XT disc
-+would appear as /dev/xd/c0t0.
-+
-+
-+Old Compatibility Names
-+
-+The old compatibility names are the legacy device names, such as
-+/dev/hda, /dev/sda, /dev/rtc and so on.
-+Devfsd can be configured to create compatibility symlinks so that you
-+may continue to use the old names in your configuration files and so
-+that old applications will continue to function correctly.
-+
-+In order to configure devfsd to create these legacy names, the
-+following lines should be placed in your /etc/devfsd.conf:
-+
-+REGISTER	.*		MKOLDCOMPAT
-+UNREGISTER	.*		RMOLDCOMPAT
-+
-+This will cause devfsd to create (and destroy) symbolic links which
-+point to the kernel-supplied names.

-+
-+Allocation of Device Numbers
-+
-+Devfs allows you to write a driver which doesn't need to allocate a
-+device number (major&minor numbers) for the internal operation of the
-+kernel. However, there are a number of userspace programmes that use
-+the device number as a unique handle for a device. An example is the
-+find programme, which uses device numbers to determine whether
-+an inode is on a different filesystem than another inode. The device
-+number used is the one for the block device which a filesystem is
-+using. To preserve compatibility with userspace programmes, block
-+devices using devfs need to have unique device numbers allocated to
-+them. Furthermore, POSIX specifies device numbers, so some kind of
-+device number needs to be presented to userspace.
-+
-+The simplest option (especially when porting drivers to devfs) is to
-+keep using the old major and minor numbers. Devfs will take whatever
-+values are given for major&minor and pass them onto userspace.
-+
-+This device number is a 16 bit number, so this leaves plenty of space
-+for large numbers of discs and partitions. This scheme can also be
-+used for character devices, in particular the tty devices, which are
-+currently limited to 256 pseudo-ttys (this limits the total number of
-+simultaneous xterms and remote logins).  Note that the device number
-+is limited to the range 36864-61439 (majors 144-239), in order to
-+avoid any possible conflicts with existing official allocations.
-+
-+Please note that using dynamically allocated block device numbers may
-+break the NFS daemons (both user and kernel mode), which expect dev_t
-+for a given device to be constant over the lifetime of remote mounts.
-+
-+A final note on this scheme: since it doesn't increase the size of
-+device numbers, there are no compatibility issues with userspace.

-+Questions and Answers
-+
-+
-+Making things work
-+Alternatives to devfs
-+What I don't like about devfs
-+How to report bugs
-+Strange kernel messages
-+Compilation problems with devfsd
-+
-+
-+
-+Making things work
-+
-+Here are some common questions and answers.
-+
-+
-+
-+Devfsd doesn't start
-+
-+Make sure you have compiled and installed devfsd
-+Make sure devfsd is being started from your boot
-+scripts
-+Make sure you have configured your kernel to enable devfs (see
-+below)
-+Make sure devfs is mounted (see below)
-+
-+
-+Devfsd is not managing all my permissions
-+
-+Make sure you are capturing the appropriate events. For example,
-+device entries created by the kernel generate REGISTER events,
-+but those created by devfsd generate CREATE events.
-+
-+
-+Devfsd is not capturing all REGISTER events
-+
-+See the previous entry: you may need to capture CREATE events.
-+
-+
-+X will not start
-+
-+Make sure you followed the steps 
-+outlined above.
-+
-+
-+Why don't my network devices appear in devfs?
-+
-+This is not a bug. Network devices have their own, completely separate
-+namespace. They are accessed via socket(2) and
-+setsockopt(2) calls, and thus require no device nodes. I have
-+raised the possibilty of moving network devices into the device
-+namespace, but have had no response.
-+
-+
-+How can I test if I have devfs compiled into my kernel?
-+
-+All filesystems built-in or currently loaded are listed in
-+/proc/filesystems. If you see a devfs entry, then
-+you know that devfs was compiled into your kernel. If you have
-+correctly configured and rebuilt your kernel, then devfs will be
-+built-in. If you think you've configured it in, but
-+/proc/filesystems doesn't show it, you've made a mistake.
-+Common mistakes include:
-+
-+Using a 2.2.x kernel without applying the devfs patch (if you
-+don't know how to patch your kernel, use 2.4.x instead, don't bother
-+asking me how to patch)
-+Forgetting to set CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
-+Forgetting to set CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
-+Forgetting to set CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y (if you want devfs
-+to be automatically mounted at boot)
-+Editing your .config manually, instead of using make
-+config or make xconfig
-+Forgetting to run make dep; make clean after changing the
-+configuration and before compiling
-+Forgetting to compile your kernel and modules
-+Forgetting to install your kernel
-+Forgetting to install your modules
-+
-+Please check twice that you've done all these steps before sending in
-+a bug report.
-+
-+
-+
-+How can I test if devfs is mounted on /dev?
-+
-+The device filesystem will always create an entry called
-+".devfsd", which is used to communicate with the daemon. Even
-+if the daemon is not running, this entry will exist. Testing for the
-+existence of this entry is the approved method of determining if devfs
-+is mounted or not. Note that the type of entry (i.e. regular file,
-+character device, named pipe, etc.) may change without notice. Only
-+the existence of the entry should be relied upon.
-+
-+
-+When I start devfsd, I see the error:
-+Error opening file: ".devfsd"   No such file or directory?
-+
-+This means that devfs is not mounted. Make sure you have devfs mounted.
-+
-+
-+How do I mount devfs?
-+
-+First make sure you have devfs compiled into your kernel (see
-+above). Then you will either need to:
-+
-+set CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y in your kernel config
-+pass devfs=mount to your boot loader
-+mount devfs manually in your boot scripts with:
-+mount -t none devfs /dev
-+
-+
-+
-+Mount by volume LABEL=<label> doesn't work with
-+devfs
-+
-+Most probably you are not mounting devfs onto /dev. What
-+happens is that if your kernel config has CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
-+then the contents of /proc/partitions will have the devfs
-+names (such as scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1). The
-+contents of /proc/partitions are used by mount(8) when
-+mounting by volume label. If devfs is not mounted on /dev,
-+then mount(8) will fail to find devices. The solution is to
-+make sure that devfs is mounted on /dev. See above for how to
-+do that.
-+
-+
-+I have extra or incorrect entries in /dev
-+
-+You may have stale entries in your dev-state area. Check for a
-+RESTORE configuration line in your devfsd configuration
-+(typically /etc/devfsd.conf). If you have this line, check
-+the contents of the specified directory for stale entries. Remove
-+any entries which are incorrect, then reboot.
-+
-+
-+I get "Unable to open initial console" messages at boot
-+
-+This usually happens when you don't have devfs automounted onto
-+/dev at boot time, and there is no valid
-+/dev/console entry on your root file-system. Create a valid
-+/dev/console device node.
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Alternatives to devfs
-+
-+I've attempted to collate all the anti-devfs proposals and explain
-+their limitations. Under construction.
-+
-+
-+Why not just pass device create/remove events to a daemon?
-+
-+Here the suggestion is to develop an API in the kernel so that devices
-+can register create and remove events, and a daemon listens for those
-+events. The daemon would then populate/depopulate /dev (which
-+resides on disc).
-+
-+This has several limitations:
-+
-+
-+it only works for modules loaded and unloaded (or devices inserted
-+and removed) after the kernel has finished booting. Without a database
-+of events, there is no way the daemon could fully populate
-+/dev
-+
-+
-+if you add a database to this scheme, the question is then how to
-+present that database to user-space. If you make it a list of strings
-+with embedded event codes which are passed through a pipe to the
-+daemon, then this is only of use to the daemon. I would argue that the
-+natural way to present this data is via a filesystem (since many of
-+the events will be of a hierarchical nature), such as devfs.
-+Presenting the data as a filesystem makes it easy for the user to see
-+what is available and also makes it easy to write scripts to scan the
-+"database"
-+
-+
-+the tight binding between device nodes and drivers is no longer
-+possible (requiring the otherwise perfectly avoidable
-+table lookups)
-+
-+
-+you cannot catch inode lookup events on /dev which means
-+that module autoloading requires device nodes to be created. This is a
-+problem, particularly for drivers where only a few inodes are created
-+from a potentially large set
-+
-+
-+this technique can't be used when the root FS is mounted
-+read-only
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Just implement a better scsidev
-+
-+This suggestion involves taking the scsidev programme and
-+extending it to scan for all devices, not just SCSI devices. The
-+scsidev programme works by scanning /proc/scsi
-+
-+Problems:
-+
-+
-+the kernel does not currently provide a list of all devices
-+available. Not all drivers register entries in /proc or
-+generate kernel messages
-+
-+
-+there is no uniform mechanism to register devices other than the
-+devfs API
-+
-+
-+implementing such an API is then the same as the
-+proposal above
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Put /dev on a ramdisc
-+
-+This suggestion involves creating a ramdisc and populating it with
-+device nodes and then mounting it over /dev.
-+
-+Problems:
-+
-+
-+
-+this doesn't help when mounting the root filesystem, since you
-+still need a device node to do that
-+
-+
-+if you want to use this technique for the root device node as
-+well, you need to use initrd. This complicates the booting sequence
-+and makes it significantly harder to administer and configure. The
-+initrd is essentially opaque, robbing the system administrator of easy
-+configuration
-+
-+
-+insufficient information is available to correctly populate the
-+ramdisc. So we come back to the
-+proposal above to "solve" this
-+
-+
-+a ramdisc-based solution would take more kernel memory, since the
-+backing store would be (at best) normal VFS inodes and dentries, which
-+take 284 bytes and 112 bytes, respectively, for each entry. Compare
-+that to 72 bytes for devfs
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Do nothing: there's no problem
-+
-+Sometimes people can be heard to claim that the existing scheme is
-+fine. This is what they're ignoring:
-+
-+
-+device number size (8 bits each for major and minor) is a real
-+limitation, and must be fixed somehow. Systems with large numbers of
-+SCSI devices, for example, will continue to consume the remaining
-+unallocated major numbers. USB will also need to push beyond the 8 bit
-+minor limitation
-+
-+
-+simply increasing the device number size is insufficient. Apart
-+from causing a lot of pain, it doesn't solve the management issues
-+of a /dev with thousands or more device nodes
-+
-+
-+ignoring the problem of a huge /dev will not make it go
-+away, and dismisses the legitimacy of a large number of people who
-+want a dynamic /dev
-+
-+
-+the standard response then becomes: "write a device management
-+daemon", which brings us back to the
-+proposal above
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+What I don't like about devfs
-+
-+Here are some common complaints about devfs, and some suggestions and
-+solutions that may make it more palatable for you. I can't please
-+everybody, but I do try :-)
-+
-+I hate the naming scheme
-+
-+First, remember that no naming scheme will please everybody. You hate
-+the scheme, others love it. Who's to say who's right and who's wrong?
-+Ultimately, the person who writes the code gets to choose, and what
-+exists now is a combination of the choices made by the
-+devfs author and the
-+kernel maintainer (Linus).
-+
-+However, not all is lost. If you want to create your own naming
-+scheme, it is a simple matter to write a standalone script, hack
-+devfsd, or write a script called by devfsd. You can create whatever
-+naming scheme you like.
-+
-+Further, if you want to remove all traces of the devfs naming scheme
-+from /dev, you can mount devfs elsewhere (say
-+/devfs) and populate /dev with links into
-+/devfs. This population can be automated using devfsd if you
-+wish.
-+
-+You can even use the VFS binding facility to make the links, rather
-+than using symbolic links. This way, you don't even have to see the
-+"destination" of these symbolic links.
-+
-+Devfs puts policy into the kernel
-+
-+There's already policy in the kernel. Device numbers are in fact
-+policy (why should the kernel dictate what device numbers I use?).
-+Face it, some policy has to be in the kernel. The real difference
-+between device names as policy and device numbers as policy is that
-+no one will use device numbers directly, because device
-+numbers are devoid of meaning to humans and are ugly. At least with
-+the devfs device names, (even though you can add your own naming
-+scheme) some people will use the devfs-supplied names directly. This
-+offends some people :-)
-+
-+Devfs is bloatware
-+
-+This is not even remotely true. As shown above,
-+both code and data size are quite modest.
-+
-+
-+How to report bugs
-+
-+If you have (or think you have) a bug with devfs, please follow the
-+steps below:

-+make sure you have enabled debugging output when configuring your
-+kernel. You will need to set (at least) the following config options:
-+
-+CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG=y
-+CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
-+CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
-+
-+
-+
-+please make sure you have the latest devfs patches applied. The
-+latest kernel version might not have the latest devfs patches applied
-+yet (Linus is very busy)
-+
-+
-+save a copy of your complete kernel logs (preferably by
-+using the dmesg programme) for later inclusion in your bug
-+report. You may need to use the -s switch to increase the
-+internal buffer size so you can capture all the boot messages.
-+Don't edit or trim the dmesg output
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+try booting with devfs=dall passed to the kernel boot
-+command line (read the documentation on your bootloader on how to do
-+this), and save the result to a file. This may be quite verbose, and
-+it may overflow the messages buffer, but try to get as much of it as
-+you can
-+
-+
-+send a copy of your devfsd configuration file(s)
-+
-+send the bug report to me first.
-+Don't expect that I will see it if you post it to the linux-kernel
-+mailing list. Include all the information listed above, plus
-+anything else that you think might be relevant. Put the string
-+devfs somewhere in the subject line, so my mail filters mark
-+it as urgent
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Here is a general guide on how to ask questions in a way that greatly
-+improves your chances of getting a reply:
-+
-+http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html. If you have
-+a bug to report, you should also read
-+
-+http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html.
-+
-+
-+Strange kernel messages
-+
-+You may see devfs-related messages in your kernel logs. Below are some
-+messages and what they mean (and what you should do about them, if
-+anything).
-+
-+
-+
-+devfs_register(fred): could not append to parent, err: -17
-+
-+You need to check what the error code means, but usually 17 means
-+EEXIST. This means that a driver attempted to create an entry
-+fred in a directory, but there already was an entry with that
-+name. This is often caused by flawed boot scripts which untar a bunch
-+of inodes into /dev, as a way to restore permissions. This
-+message is harmless, as the device nodes will still
-+provide access to the driver (unless you use the devfs=only
-+boot option, which is only for dedicated souls:-). If you want to get
-+rid of these annoying messages, upgrade to devfsd-v1.3.20 and use the
-+recommended RESTORE directive to restore permissions.
-+
-+
-+devfs_mk_dir(bill): using old entry in dir: c1808724 ""
-+
-+This is similar to the message above, except that a driver attempted
-+to create a directory named bill, and the parent directory
-+has an entry with the same name. In this case, to ensure that drivers
-+continue to work properly, the old entry is re-used and given to the
-+driver. In 2.5 kernels, the driver is given a NULL entry, and thus,
-+under rare circumstances, may not create the require device nodes.
-+The solution is the same as above.
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+
-+Compilation problems with devfsd
-+
-+Usually, you can compile devfsd just by typing in
-+make in the source directory, followed by a make
-+install (as root). Sometimes, you may have problems, particularly
-+on broken configurations.
-+
-+
-+
-+error messages relating to DEVFSD_NOTIFY_DELETE
-+
-+This happened because you have an ancient set of kernel headers
-+installed in /usr/include/linux or /usr/src/linux.
-+Install kernel 2.4.10 or later. You may need to pass the
-+KERNEL_DIR variable to make (if you did not install
-+the new kernel sources as /usr/src/linux), or you may copy
-+the devfs_fs.h file in the kernel source tree into
-+/usr/include/linux.

- 
-+config DEVFS_FS
-+	bool "/dev file system support (OBSOLETE)"
-+	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
-+	help
-+	  This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which
-+	  provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found
-+	  in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number
-+	  allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
-+	  appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
-+	  not have to create character and block special device files in the
-+	  /dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.
-+
-+	  This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read
-+	  the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially
-+	  the file README there.
-+
-+	  Note that devfs no longer manages /dev/pts!  If you are using UNIX98
-+	  ptys, you will also need to mount the /dev/pts filesystem (devpts).
-+
-+	  Note that devfs has been obsoleted by udev,
-+	  <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/>.
-+	  It has been stripped down to a bare minimum and is only provided for
-+	  legacy installations that use its naming scheme which is
-+	  unfortunately different from the names normal Linux installations
-+	  use.
-+
-+	  If unsure, say N.
-+
-+config DEVFS_MOUNT
-+	bool "Automatically mount at boot"
-+	depends on DEVFS_FS
-+	help
-+	  This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting
-+	  this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev
-+	  when the system is booted, before the init thread is started.
-+	  You can override this with the "devfs=nomount" boot option.
-+
-+	  If unsure, say N.
-+
-+config DEVFS_DEBUG
-+	bool "Debug devfs"
-+	depends on DEVFS_FS
-+	help
-+	  If you say Y here, then the /dev file system code will generate
-+	  debugging messages. See the file
-+	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/boot-options> for more
-+	  details.
-+
