>Description:
When using isdn4bsd, FreeBSD displays the following message during the boot
process: "i4bctl": bmaj but is not a disk This message is displayed for each
isdn4bsd devices selected at kernel compile time (i4b, i4btel, etc.)
The reason is that 'struct cdevsw' is declared differently in i4b and
the FreeBSD kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just configure i4b, compile it with the kernel and reboot...
>Fix:
Haven't tried this myself BUT take a look at:
/sys/i4b/driver/i4b_ctl.c (lines 107 to 121):
static struct cdevsw i4bctl_cdevsw = {
/* open */ i4bctlopen,
/* close */ i4bctlclose,
/* read */ noread,
/* write */ nowrite,
/* ioctl */ i4bctlioctl,
/* poll */ POLLFIELD,
/* mmap */ nommap,
/* strategy */ nostrategy,
/* name */ "i4bctl",
/* maj */ CDEV_MAJOR,
/* dump */ nodump,
/* psize */ nopsize,
/* flags */ 0,
};
.. and ..
/sys/sys/conf.h (lines 159 to 176):
struct cdevsw {
d_open_t *d_open;
d_close_t *d_close;
d_read_t *d_read;
d_write_t *d_write;
d_ioctl_t *d_ioctl;
d_poll_t *d_poll;
d_mmap_t *d_mmap;
d_strategy_t *d_strategy;
const char *d_name; /* base device name, e.g. 'vn' */
int d_maj;
d_dump_t *d_dump;
d_psize_t *d_psize;
u_int d_flags;
int d_bmaj;
/* additions below are not binary compatible with 4.2 and below */
d_kqfilter_t *d_kqfilter;
};
The two last entries (d_bmaj and d_kqfilter) are missing from the
initializer of i4b_ctl (and probably other i4b devices). The first
field is the one responsible for the "not a disk" message (printed
by /sys/kern/kern_conf.c:110).
