bde 1998/05/12 10:34:04 PDT Modified files: sys/i386/i386 autoconf.c sys/kern kern_shutdown.c Log: Backed out previous commit. It is invalid to call d_ioctl() on possibly non-open devices, and we don't want to restrict dumping to swap devices anwyay. It is especially invalid to call d_ioctl() in non-process context for panics. d_psize() can be called on non-open devices, at least on non-SLICED ones that support d_dump(), and setdumpdev() has depended on this for a long time although it is probably wrong, but even d_psize() can't be called in non-process context - that's why dumpsys() depends on previously computed values although these values may be stale. The historical restriction to devices with dkpart(dev) == SWAP_PART should go away. Revision Changes Path 1.97 +2 -5 src/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c 1.31 +3 -8 src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c
