libdevctl: Add devctl_getpath

2022-03-01T15:06:41Z

Helper routine to call the kernel to get a path to the named device. Different path enumeration methods (called locators) can be used for different path types depending on what the kernel implements. Sponsored by: Netflix Reviewed by: jhb Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D32746

Implement devctl(8) command 'reset', using DEV_RESET /dev/devctl2 ioctl.

Create devctl freeze/thaw.

2018-08-23T05:05:47Z

This adds it to devctl, libdevctl, defines the two IOCTLs and implements the kernel bits. causes any new drivers that are added via kldload to be deferred until a 'thaw' comes in. These do not stack: it is an error to freeze while frozen, or thaw while thawed. Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16735

Implement 'devctl clear driver' to undo a previous 'devctl set driver'.

2016-08-29T22:48:36Z

Add a new 'clear driver' command for devctl along with the accompanying ioctl and devctl_clear_driver() library routine to reset a device to use a wildcard devclass instead of a fixed devclass. This can be used to undo a previous 'set driver' command. After the device's name has been reset to permit wildcard names, it is reprobed so that it can attach to newly-available (to it) device drivers.

Add 'devctl delete' that calls device_delete_child().

2016-04-27T16:33:17Z

'devctl delete' can be used to delete a device that is no longer present. As an anti-foot-shooting measure, 'delete' will not delete a device unless it's parent bus says it is no longer present. This can be overridden by passing the force ('-f') flag. Note that this command should be used with care. If a device is deleted that is actually present it can't be resurrected unless the parent bus device's driver supports rescans. Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6019

Add a new rescan method to the bus interface.

2016-04-27T16:29:03Z

The BUS_RESCAN() method rescans a single bus device checking for devices that have been added or removed from the bus. A new 'rescan' command is added to devctl(8) to trigger a rescan. Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6016
