In my continuing quest to port a driver from Free to DFly, I've run
into something I don't understand with the device structures. In Free,
if the driver exported an ioctl interface, it defined the ioctl
handler in struct cdevsw and called something like
make_dev(&svd_cdevsw, device_get_unit(dev), UID_ROOT,
GID_OPERATOR, 0600, "%s", device_get_nameunit(dev));
Doing this on DFly doesn't seem sufficient. Apps making an ioctl to
this device error out on the open with a 'Device not configured' error
message. Investigating a little, I found that other drivers added a
call to
cdevsw_add(&svd_cdevsw, -1, device_get_unit(dev));
What is this call doing differently than what make_dev provides?
