chaninit() does not initialize Chan.qentry and Chan.nentry
and there is no way to get rid of such a channel. nobody is
using it, so removing the function to avoid confusion.
the namespace might be shared by other processes. instead, we
create a anonymous pipe with pipe() and use devdup to open one
end close-on-exec. this is shorter and avoids the race condition.
do not touch Execargs after writing the error message as the
process might be gone after the write. this was to manually
close the fd which isnt neccesary as the kernel will do it
for us on the following exit.
previously ircrc dialed through /net itself and resolved ips on its own. this prevented the use of an ip address, and also prevented use of ipv6. now you can use an ip, or a dns name that resolves to ipv6. the -T flag is also added to use tlsclient for encrypted connections.
At least on some NVIDIA cards the default scaling mode makes
black borders visible on all sides, even on native resolution.
This patch adds a generic "scaling MODE" command to vgactl
and adds support for it on VESA through NVIDIA VBE OEM extension.
It hasn't been tested on any other video cards, but shouldn't
break anything as the scaling mode is only set on write to vgactl.
- in 9front, the bootargs are in the form: method!device args
- remove redundant and wrong paragraphs regarding tcp booting
- document il boot method
- fix boot and bootrc confusions
we can improve performance alot by using webfs which
does http keep alives for us, so connection setup
overhead is eleminated.
fix 9p flushes and double frees.
in backwards mode, the roles of the aan filters need to be
reversed. add "-n address" option to import to override the
announce address for the aan server part (default tcp!*!0).
the allow command now takes an optional uid argument for the user
to be granted temporary god status on the fileserver for maintenance.
this was kenji okomotos idea, so thanks :)
remove wstatallow and writeallow flags. instead, we have global:
int allowed;
that contains the uid of the currently allowed user id or -1
if permission checking is globally disabled for the fileserver.
when zero, normal permission checking takes place.
added int isallowed(File*) function that returns non-zero when the
context is the console, or the allowed user. this is also used internally
by iaccess(), so all the extra code of in the callers of iaccess()
is gone now.
dont conflate allowed user with noauth flag and auto-allow on ream.
the installer already knows about noauth and allow flags so theres no
problem with bootstraping.
old iostats failed to work when builidng the kernel due to old bugs
that where already fixed in exportfs. instead of backporting the fixes,
reimplement iostats as a filter that sits between exportfs and the
process mount. from users perspective, theres no difference.
the result is much smaller and can handle everything that exportfs
can like /srv.
instead of naming devices by ther dynamically assigned device address,
we hash device uniqueue fields from the device descriptor and produce
a 5 digit hex string that will identify the device across machines.
when there is a collision (less than 1% chance with 100 devices),
usbd will append the device address to the name to make it uniqueue
for this machine.
the hname is passed to drivers in the devid argument, which now has
the form addr:hname, where the colon and hname can be omited (for backwards
compatibility).
when the new behaviour isnt desired, nousbhname= environment variable
can be defined giving the old behaviour.
