There is a list of the letters used in ioctl(9) true that that don't _need_ to be globally unique, but it sure is nice for kdump(1). .mrg.

In most cases, an ioctl value is only valid when performed on a handle leading to a specific subsystem, meaning that it does not really need to be globally distinct.

To get net ioctl number
Hi. This might be FAQ... I'd like to get new number for new ioctl. How should I find unused number for it? I'm going to add new SIOCXXX. It may not enough to grep sys/net/*.h, so I made usr.bin/kdump-ioctl.c and did grep \'i kdump-ioctl.c | sort -n -k 5,5 | uniq | column -t I think it might not enough because kdump-ioctl.c has no compat-related code. What should I do? -- --- SAITOH Masanobu (msai...@execsw.org msai...@netbsd.org)

No debate needed :) I guess I'm just a luddite, but I do have disc brakes on my tandem :-) ANYWAY... I've made a bunch of progress on this, so far converting every architecture except for ia64 at this point ... I may punt on that and let someone else worry about fixing it up (i.e. I'll add stubs that just error out) .. I refreshed the toolchains on my builder overnight, and am going to build test kernels for most of the platforms we support. I'll test what I have hardware for, and what I can quickly set up simulators for, but I'm going to need help from others to get this all tested. Things that I can easily test directly: -- amd64 (using a VMware VM) -- i386 (using a VMware VM) -- aarch64 (using a Pinebook) -- arm (using an ARMv6 Raspberry Pi) -- will exercise the ARMv4 and pre-ARMv4 code paths in this case. I'm going to spend some time over the next few evenings getting Qemu emulators up and running for smattering of systems (although I have been having trouble getting Qemu guest networking working on a macOS host). What I plan to test under Qemu: -- mips (32-bit, at least) -- powerpc -- sparc -- sparc64 ...and if I get around to setting up SIMH, I will test vax myself, as well. I'll need help with everything else... ping me off list if you can help! Happily, I have an ATF unit test that exercises all of new functions, so anyone willing to volunteer to help me test it will have an easy time of it. -- thorpej
