rndcontrol doesn't work very well for SMP systems. I have a system here
with IRQs 16 and 18 for Ethernet and SCSI:
fxp0: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 0x05 int a irq 18 on
pci0.10.0
ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 16 on pci0.12.0
and I'd like to use these with rndcontrol. However, the ioctl chokes on
IRQ >= 16. From i386/i386/mem.c:
/*
* XXX the data is 16-bit due to a historical botch, so we use
* magic 16's instead of ICU_LEN and can't support 24 interrupts
* under SMP.
*/
intr = *(int16_t *)data;
if (cmd != MEM_RETURNIRQ && (intr < 0 || intr >= 16))
return (EINVAL);
What is needed to make this support a more sensible number of IRQs?
Also, rndcontrol naturally returns an error message, which could have
been better:
rndcontrol: rndcontrol: Invalid argument
rndcontrol uses warn() with argv[0] as the argument - but warn() is
documented to always print the program name. So it gets doubled. Below
is a patch against 3.2-STABLE to make it slightly more intelligent, so
we get an error message like this instead:
rndcontrol: setting irq 16: Invalid argument
