...for controlling the display backlight the appropriate utility is wsconsctl: $ wsconsctl display.brightness display.brightness=100.00% $ wsconsctl display.brightness=50 display.brightness - 50.00% To make this work, your driver has to provide the ws_get_param and ws_set_param hooks.

Our vm system has some optimization logic which, when servicing a page fault, attempts to fault the neighbouring pages, if this is expected to speed things up on the long term. That logic is controlled by the madvise() state of the memory area being faulted in, with the defaults being that device

These calculations strike me as weird. Also, I think there's a bug. nback should always be the -1 value, right? Oh, wait, it was like that. Even stranger. I think the nback = 8 nforw = 7 was a bug, to begin with, but this diff attempts to first reach a status quo, for 4KB page size platforms.

we do some scsi ops where we give a device a large buffer and expect it to only fill part of it because we dont know how big that part will be. the underrun handling in mpii always caused this to fail, so devices relying on this didnt work as expected (eg, ses). according to the solaris

the uvm_km_pgremove_intrsafe function requires pages to be mapped to free them however it is then expected to call pmap_kremove(). This is scary as in the page is freed, but is still mapped. Have uvm_km_pgremove_intrsafe() unmap as well as free. Well then it makes sense to move the

The -Wsentinel warning is supposed to complain when the last argument in a call to a function which has __attribute__((sentinel)) is not a NULL pointer. However, the current implementation of the check in gcc 3 and gcc 4 will warn if the last argument is not explicitely declared as a pointer

Re: relax gcc -Wsentinel checking

2011-04-03 Thread Miod Vallat
Not really ok. Given the way the ISO C standard is formulated, not casting NULL in this case is a genuine bug. One can argue though, that defining NULL in such a way that it is not usable as a sentinel value would be really really silly, and that it is not our job to catch missing casts
