Re: [9fans] Help with device and clone?
Meh, I keep forgetting to hit reply-all or something. 2008/12/19 erik quanstrom quans...@quanstro.net: That's where I was looking initially -- it looks like that's all only done when you're connecting to a venti, and it seems like it definitely happens after the links run anyway. Links happen after initseg(); that stuff happens in bootinit() in Plan 9 proper -- so that's where I did it in 9vx. I'm tempted to just use '#l' in ip/chandial.c right now until I have a more concrete idea about where binds *should* happen. There are still issues with etherve that I need to hammer out, I think. --dho sorry. i haven't really been following along. i am confused by the fact you're having troubles. if you're doing things in the same order as the native kernel, i don't see how you could be getting different results. unless there is some hack in 9vx that causes things to happen differently. There seem to be some differences in how things happen at start-up time, but they don't seem so severe. That's why I'm asking here :) (you're virtual ether0 is working now, right?) It works if I force chandial to look for it in '#l', and by works, I mean I haven't been able to test it on a live network yet :( --dho - erik

i did get the original. - erik
Re: [9fans] Help with device and clone?
The link routines happen very early, before any user code has run. /lib/namespace is processed by user code. So when the links are running, I think it is simply that there is nothing bound to /net. Russ Thank you... I think I see the issue now. I'm also enjoying: 245 /* set up the network so we can talk to the venti server */ 246 /* this is such a crock. */ Yes, yes it is... --dho

Maybe I will try to after I understand this a bit better, because it's still not working, and I'm introduced with a couple of issues that I'm still not coming around with solutions for -- that set-up is a really huge hack. I guess I knew it was like that. It seems to be a chicken-and-egg type problem, which I don't think it is. I can't really kbind(#I, /net, MAFTER); at the time that I'm calling ethermediumbind -- it's too early for that. At the same time, I can't really move the links and makekprocdev(ipdevtab); to the area in init0() where kbind()s happen. Maybe I'm missing something totally obvious here, but there must be some way for me to call ethermediumbind() and change its namespace view -- but so far nothing's happening when I add: kbind(#Zplan9/, /, MAFTER); +kbind(#I, /net, MAFTER); +kbind(#l0, /net, MAFTER); kbind(#p, /proc, MREPL); in init0. --dho
[9fans] Help with device and clone?
I really am getting to the deep guts of dev.c and chan.c here in debugging why when ip/ipconfig tries to open /net/ether0/clone, it's getting Enotfound. From my latest commit: Fix some stuff with the ether controller attaching. It attaches now, but for some reason clone screws up. I have no idea why; domount is failing to work in 9vx/a/chan.c when we are doing the walk over the path which in turn causes us to try to find the file in rootgen instead of going to the other side of the mount and looking for it in /ether0/clone. Help? It's entirely possible (and almost entirely clear) that I'm missing something obvious, but I'm not sure what it is. The virtual device is at http://testbed.dh0.us:8000/file/dfc493421329/src/9vx/etherve.c for the current revision -- feel free to browse around or clone my repo. I'm going to sleep now, but any help would be appreciated. --dho
