closing all fd's in ng_device before node removal

In a kernel driver, is is possible to get the list of open fd's on a dev_t entry? I can probably do it using a double administration by storing all accesses to open() and close() but I would rather not. Any input appreciated! Mark -- Mark SantcroosRIPE Network Coordination

GDB auto enter/detach patch

I've put together a patch that enables a kernel on the target machine to detect a GDB packet and automatically enter GDB mode. When the debugger detaches, it also continues execution. This speeds up debugging, especially when the target is in a remote location. The patch plus more explanation

load time module parameters?

I'm a newbie to FreeBSD and am wondering if there is a way to pass loadable kernel modules parameters. Under Linux, if a module had configurable parameters a and b, you can do something like insmod module.o parameters=a:10 b:5 I noticed that some of the drivers grabed information from the
