DRM-KMS: add a devclass DV_DRMKMS and allow userconf to deal with classes
[Please do CC me on reply since I _am_ subscribed to the list but don't
get the messages...]
Note: code can be seen on https://github.com/tlaronde/src .
I have implemented "patterns" in sys/kern/subr_userconf.c, in order to
allow to manipulate (change, disable, enable, find, list) a device
matching a possibly anchored substring.
But this doesn't solve the problem for dmskms (to be able to disable all
with a single well knows instruction) since the names don't match a
regular pattern.
I propose to add a DV_DRMKMS class to sys/device.h:enum_devclass; to
augment cfdata with a devclass member and modify config(1) accordingly
so that in sys/kern/subr_userconf.c can be introduced a (supplementary
for now; not replacing) new syntax:
exp: number | string | magic | pattern
string: '"' alpha alphanum* '"' /* case insensitive */
magic: alpha alphanum /* case insensitive */
pattern: '/' ['^'] alphanum ['$'] '/' /* case insensitive */
{change, disable, enable, find, list} name = exp
{change, disable, enable, find, list} class = magic
so that:
disable class = drmkms
does the trick.
There is already in usr.bin/config/TODO a paragraph about classes, so
it seems this proposal leans towards what was expected.
Comments?
