parameters to a kld

2003-07-14 Thread Anurag Chaudhary
hi

How can I pass load time parameters to a kld.
Also my /proc directory is empty.Why is it so?
If I have to see the address of a pci port or say parallel port, how can I 
do so?

Thanx
Chaudhary Anurag

hi

thanx for that procfs stuff. I have mounted procfs now.
I dont think you can create your own sysctl variable. If its possible, 
please tell me how.
It allows you to only set or get values of existing variables

thanx

Not sure that it is possible, at least kldload(2) doesn't accept
any arguments, except kld file path.  Probably sysctl variables
can help.
 Also my /proc directory is empty.Why is it so?

Is procfs(5) mounted to /proc directory?  Checkout output of the
mount command and content of the /etc/fstab file.
 If I have to see the address of a pci port or say parallel port, how can

 do so?

dmesg(8) usually helps (also see /var/log/messages).

mutex in kld

2003-06-06 Thread Anurag Chaudhary
I am using mutex in a kld.
mutex protects an open file so lock and unlock functions are called from 
open and close functions of the kld repectively.
but when i start second instance of an application working on this file, my 
system hangs.
there is no sleep call in the code.

can anybody figure out what's the prob.

thanx
Anurag

mutex in kld

2003-06-06 Thread Anurag Chaudhary
I am using mutex in my kld.
but every time i run two instances of a program that uses this driver, the 
system hangs.
I hav put the lock function in the open function of kld and unlock in close 
function.
There is no call to sleep.
Although it is a big code to protect, but i need it that way.
Is there some solution to the problem.
Is lockmgr a better idea for this.
this is urgent

thanx
Anurag
