Kernel device drivers can register devices by -name rather than major and minor numbers. These devices will appear in -devfs automatically, with whatever default ownership and -protection the driver specified. A daemon (devfsd) can be used to -override these defaults. Devfs has been in the kernel since 2.3.46. - -NOTE that devfs is entirely optional. If you prefer the old -disc-based device nodes, then simply leave CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=n (the -default). In this case, nothing will change. ALSO NOTE that if you do -enable devfs, the defaults are such that full compatibility is -maintained with the old devices names. - -There are two aspects to devfs: one is the underlying device -namespace, which is a namespace just like any mounted filesystem. The -other aspect is the filesystem code which provides a view of the -device namespace. The reason I make a distinction is because devfs -can be mounted many times, with each mount showing the same device -namespace. Changes made are global to all mounted devfs filesystems. -Also, because the devfs namespace exists without any devfs mounts, you -can easily mount the root filesystem by referring to an entry in the -devfs namespace. - - -The cost of devfs is a small increase in kernel code size and memory -usage. About 7 pages of code (some of that in __init sections) and 72 -bytes for each entry in the namespace. A modest system has only a -couple of hundred device entries, so this costs a few more -pages. Compare this with the suggestion to put /dev on a <a -href="#why-faq-ramdisc">ramdisc. - -On a typical machine, the cost is under 0.2 percent. On a modest -system with 64 MBytes of RAM, the cost is under 0.1 percent. The -accusations of "bloatware" levelled at devfs are not justified. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - -Why do it? - -There are several problems that devfs addresses. Some of these -problems are more serious than others (depending on your point of -view), and some can be solved without devfs. However, the totality of -these problems really calls out for devfs. - -The choice is a patchwork of inefficient user space solutions, which -are complex and likely to be fragile, or to use a simple and efficient -devfs which is robust. - -There have been many counter-proposals to devfs, all seeking to -provide some of the benefits without actually implementing devfs. So -far there has been an absence of code and no proposed alternative has -been able to provide all the features that devfs does. Further, -alternative proposals require far more complexity in user-space (and -still deliver less functionality than devfs). Some people have the -mantra of reducing "kernel bloat", but don't consider the effects on -user-space. - -A good solution limits the total complexity of kernel-space and -user-space. - - -Major&minor allocation - -The existing scheme requires the allocation of major and minor device -numbers for each and every device. This means that a central -co-ordinating authority is required to issue these device numbers -(unless you're developing a "private" device driver), in order to -preserve uniqueness. Devfs shifts the burden to a namespace. This may -not seem like a huge benefit, but actually it is. Since driver authors -will naturally choose a device name which reflects the functionality -of the device, there is far less potential for namespace conflict. -Solving this requires a kernel change. - -/dev management - -Because you currently access devices through device nodes, these must -be created by the system administrator. For standard devices you can -usually find a MAKEDEV programme which creates all these (hundreds!) -of nodes. This means that changes in the kernel must be reflected by -changes in the MAKEDEV programme, or else the system administrator -creates device nodes by hand. - -The basic problem is that there are two separate databases of -major and minor numbers. One is in the kernel and one is in /dev (or -in a MAKEDEV programme, if you want to look at it that way). This is -duplication of information, which is not good practice. -Solving this requires a kernel change. - -/dev growth - -A typical /dev has over 1200 nodes! Most of these devices simply don't -exist because the hardware is not available. A huge /dev increases the -time to access devices (I'm just referring to the dentry lookup times -and the time taken to read inodes off disc: the next subsection shows -some more horrors). - -An example of how big /dev can grow is if we consider SCSI devices: - -host 6 bits (say up to 64 hosts on a really big machine) -channel 4 bits (say up to 16 SCSI buses per host) -id 4 bits -lun 3 bits -partition 6 bits -TOTAL 23 bits - - -This requires 8 Mega (1024*1024) inodes if we want to store all -possible device nodes. Even if we scrap everything but id,partition -and assume a single host adapter with a single SCSI bus and only one -logical unit per SCSI target (id), that's still 10 bits or 1024 -inodes. Each VFS inode takes around 256 bytes (kernel 2.1.78), so -that's 256 kBytes of inode storage on disc (assuming real inodes take -a similar amount of space as VFS inodes). This is actually not so bad, -because disc is cheap these days. Embedded systems would care about -256 kBytes of /dev inodes, but you could argue that embedded systems -would have hand-tuned /dev directories. I've had to do just that on my -embedded systems, but I would rather just leave it to devfs. - -Another issue is the time taken to lookup an inode when first -referenced. Not only does this take time in scanning through a list in -memory, but also the seek times to read the inodes off disc. -This could be solved in user-space using a clever programme which -scanned the kernel logs and deleted /dev entries which are not -available and created them when they were available. This programme -would need to be run every time a new module was loaded, which would -slow things down a lot. - -There is an existing programme called scsidev which will automatically -create device nodes for SCSI devices. It can do this by scanning files -in /proc/scsi. Unfortunately, to extend this idea to other device -nodes would require significant modifications to existing drivers (so -they too would provide information in /proc). This is a non-trivial -change (I should know: devfs has had to do something similar). Once -you go to this much effort, you may as well use devfs itself (which -also provides this information). Furthermore, such a system would -likely be implemented in an ad-hoc fashion, as different drivers will -provide their information in different ways. - -Devfs is much cleaner, because it (naturally) has a uniform mechanism -to provide this information: the device nodes themselves! - - -Node to driver file_operations translation - -There is an important difference between the way disc-based character -and block nodes and devfs entries make the connection between an entry -in /dev and the actual device driver. - -With the current 8 bit major and minor numbers the connection between -disc-based c&b nodes and per-major drivers is done through a -fixed-length table of 128 entries. The various filesystem types set -the inode operations for c&b nodes to {chr,blk}dev_inode_operations, -so when a device is opened a few quick levels of indirection bring us -to the driver file_operations. - -For miscellaneous character devices a second step is required: there -is a scan for the driver entry with the same minor number as the file -that was opened, and the appropriate minor open method is called. This -scanning is done *every time* you open a device node. Potentially, you -may be searching through dozens of misc. entries before you find your -open method. While not an enormous performance overhead, this does -seem pointless. - -Linux *must* move beyond the 8 bit major and minor barrier, -somehow. If we simply increase each to 16 bits, then the indexing -scheme used for major driver lookup becomes untenable, because the -major tables (one each for character and block devices) would need to -be 64 k entries long (512 kBytes on x86, 1 MByte for 64 bit -systems). So we would have to use a scheme like that used for -miscellaneous character devices, which means the search time goes up -linearly with the average number of major device drivers on your -system. Not all "devices" are hardware, some are higher-level drivers -like KGI, so you can get more "devices" without adding hardware -You can improve this by creating an ordered (balanced:-) -binary tree, in which case your search time becomes log(N). -Alternatively, you can use hashing to speed up the search. -But why do that search at all if you don't have to? Once again, it -seems pointless. - -Note that devfs doesn't use the major&minor system. For devfs -entries, the connection is done when you lookup the /dev entry. When -devfs_register() is called, an internal table is appended which has -the entry name and the file_operations. If the dentry cache doesn't -have the /dev entry already, this internal table is scanned to get the -file_operations, and an inode is created. If the dentry cache already -has the entry, there is *no lookup time* (other than the dentry scan -itself, but we can't avoid that anyway, and besides Linux dentries -cream other OS's which don't have them:-). Furthermore, the number of -node entries in a devfs is only the number of available device -entries, not the number of *conceivable* entries. Even if you remove -unnecessary entries in a disc-based /dev, the number of conceivable -entries remains the same: you just limit yourself in order to save -space. - -Devfs provides a fast connection between a VFS node and the device -driver, in a scalable way. - -/dev as a system administration tool - -Right now /dev contains a list of conceivable devices, most of which I -don't have. Devfs only shows those devices available on my -system. This means that listing /dev is a handy way of checking what -devices are available. - -Major&minor size - -Existing major and minor numbers are limited to 8 bits each. This is -now a limiting factor for some drivers, particularly the SCSI disc -driver, which consumes a single major number. Only 16 discs are -supported, and each disc may have only 15 partitions. Maybe this isn't -a problem for you, but some of us are building huge Linux systems with -disc arrays. With devfs an arbitrary pointer can be associated with -each device entry, which can be used to give an effective 32 bit -device identifier (i.e. that's like having a 32 bit minor -number). Since this is private to the kernel, there are no C library -compatibility issues which you would have with increasing major and -minor number sizes. See the section on "Allocation of Device Numbers" -for details on maintaining compatibility with userspace. - -Solving this requires a kernel change. - -Since writing this, the kernel has been modified so that the SCSI disc -driver has more major numbers allocated to it and now supports up to -128 discs. Since these major numbers are non-contiguous (a result of -unplanned expansion), the implementation is a little more cumbersome -than originally. - -Just like the changes to IPv4 to fix impending limitations in the -address space, people find ways around the limitations. In the long -run, however, solutions like IPv6 or devfs can't be put off forever. - -Read-only root filesystem - -Having your device nodes on the root filesystem means that you can't -operate properly with a read-only root filesystem. This is because you -want to change ownerships and protections of tty devices. Existing -practice prevents you using a CD-ROM as your root filesystem for a -*real* system. Sure, you can boot off a CD-ROM, but you can't change -tty ownerships, so it's only good for installing. - -Also, you can't use a shared NFS root filesystem for a cluster of -discless Linux machines (having tty ownerships changed on a common -/dev is not good). Nor can you embed your root filesystem in a -ROM-FS. - -You can get around this by creating a RAMDISC at boot time, making -an ext2 filesystem in it, mounting it somewhere and copying the -contents of /dev into it, then unmounting it and mounting it over -/dev. - -A devfs is a cleaner way of solving this. - -Non-Unix root filesystem - -Non-Unix filesystems (such as NTFS) can't be used for a root -filesystem because they variously don't support character and block -special files or symbolic links. You can't have a separate disc-based -or RAMDISC-based filesystem mounted on /dev because you need device -nodes before you can mount these. Devfs can be mounted without any -device nodes. Devlinks won't work because symlinks aren't supported. -An alternative solution is to use initrd to mount a RAMDISC initial -root filesystem (which is populated with a minimal set of device -nodes), and then construct a new /dev in another RAMDISC, and finally -switch to your non-Unix root filesystem. This requires clever boot -scripts and a fragile and conceptually complex boot procedure. - -Devfs solves this in a robust and conceptually simple way. - -PTY security - -Current pseudo-tty (pty) devices are owned by root and read-writable -by everyone. The user of a pty-pair cannot change -ownership/protections without being suid-root. - -This could be solved with a secure user-space daemon which runs as -root and does the actual creation of pty-pairs. Such a daemon would -require modification to *every* programme that wants to use this new -mechanism. It also slows down creation of pty-pairs. - -An alternative is to create a new open_pty() syscall which does much -the same thing as the user-space daemon. Once again, this requires -modifications to pty-handling programmes. - -The devfs solution allows a device driver to "tag" certain device -files so that when an unopened device is opened, the ownerships are -changed to the current euid and egid of the opening process, and the -protections are changed to the default registered by the driver. When -the device is closed ownership is set back to root and protections are -set back to read-write for everybody. No programme need be changed. -The devpts filesystem provides this auto-ownership feature for Unix98 -ptys. It doesn't support old-style pty devices, nor does it have all -the other features of devfs. - -Intelligent device management - -Devfs implements a simple yet powerful protocol for communication with -a device management daemon (devfsd) which runs in user space. It is -possible to send a message (either synchronously or asynchronously) to -devfsd on any event, such as registration/unregistration of device -entries, opening and closing devices, looking up inodes, scanning -directories and more. This has many possibilities. Some of these are -already implemented. See: - - -http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/ - -Device entry registration events can be used by devfsd to change -permissions of newly-created device nodes. This is one mechanism to -control device permissions. - -Device entry registration/unregistration events can be used to run -programmes or scripts. This can be used to provide automatic mounting -of filesystems when a new block device media is inserted into the -drive. - -Asynchronous device open and close events can be used to implement -clever permissions management. For example, the default permissions on -/dev/dsp do not allow everybody to read from the device. This is -sensible, as you don't want some remote user recording what you say at -your console. However, the console user is also prevented from -recording. This behaviour is not desirable. With asynchronous device -open and close events, you can have devfsd run a programme or script -when console devices are opened to change the ownerships for *other* -device nodes (such as /dev/dsp). On closure, you can run a different -script to restore permissions. An advantage of this scheme over -modifying the C library tty handling is that this works even if your -programme crashes (how many times have you seen the utmp database with -lingering entries for non-existent logins?). - -Synchronous device open events can be used to perform intelligent -device access protections. Before the device driver open() method is -called, the daemon must first validate the open attempt, by running an -external programme or script. This is far more flexible than access -control lists, as access can be determined on the basis of other -system conditions instead of just the UID and GID. - -Inode lookup events can be used to authenticate module autoload -requests. Instead of using kmod directly, the event is sent to -devfsd which can implement an arbitrary authentication before loading -the module itself. - -Inode lookup events can also be used to construct arbitrary -namespaces, without having to resort to populating devfs with symlinks -to devices that don't exist. - -Speculative Device Scanning - -Consider an application (like cdparanoia) that wants to find all -CD-ROM devices on the system (SCSI, IDE and other types), whether or -not their respective modules are loaded. The application must -speculatively open certain device nodes (such as /dev/sr0 for the SCSI -CD-ROMs) in order to make sure the module is loaded. This requires -that all Linux distributions follow the standard device naming scheme -(last time I looked RedHat did things differently). Devfs solves the -naming problem. - -The same application also wants to see which devices are actually -available on the system. With the existing system it needs to read the -/dev directory and speculatively open each /dev/sr* device to -determine if the device exists or not. With a large /dev this is an -inefficient operation, especially if there are many /dev/sr* nodes. A -solution like scsidev could reduce the number of /dev/sr* entries (but -of course that also requires all that inefficient directory scanning). - -With devfs, the application can open the /dev/sr directory -(which triggers the module autoloading if required), and proceed to -read /dev/sr. Since only the available devices will have -entries, there are no inefficencies in directory scanning or device -openings. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -Who else does it? - -FreeBSD has a devfs implementation. Solaris and AIX each have a -pseudo-devfs (something akin to scsidev but for all devices, with some -unspecified kernel support). BeOS, Plan9 and QNX also have it. SGI's -IRIX 6.4 and above also have a device filesystem. - -While we shouldn't just automatically do something because others do -it, we should not ignore the work of others either. FreeBSD has a lot -of competent people working on it, so their opinion should not be -blithely ignored. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - -How it works - -Registering device entries - -For every entry (device node) in a devfs-based /dev a driver must call -devfs_register(). This adds the name of the device entry, the -file_operations structure pointer and a few other things to an -internal table. Device entries may be added and removed at any -time. When a device entry is registered, it automagically appears in -any mounted devfs'. - -Inode lookup - -When a lookup operation on an entry is performed and if there is no -driver information for that entry devfs will attempt to call -devfsd. If still no driver information can be found then a negative -dentry is yielded and the next stage operation will be called by the -VFS (such as create() or mknod() inode methods). If driver information -can be found, an inode is created (if one does not exist already) and -all is well. - -Manually creating device nodes - -The mknod() method allows you to create an ordinary named pipe in the -devfs, or you can create a character or block special inode if one -does not already exist. You may wish to create a character or block -special inode so that you can set permissions and ownership. Later, if -a device driver registers an entry with the same name, the -permissions, ownership and times are retained. This is how you can set -the protections on a device even before the driver is loaded. Once you -create an inode it appears in the directory listing. - -Unregistering device entries - -A device driver calls devfs_unregister() to unregister an entry. - -Chroot() gaols - -2.2.x kernels - -The semantics of inode creation are different when devfs is mounted -with the "explicit" option. Now, when a device entry is registered, it -will not appear until you use mknod() to create the device. It doesn't -matter if you mknod() before or after the device is registered with -devfs_register(). The purpose of this behaviour is to support -chroot(2) gaols, where you want to mount a minimal devfs inside the -gaol. Only the devices you specifically want to be available (through -your mknod() setup) will be accessible. - -2.4.x kernels - -As of kernel 2.3.99, the VFS has had the ability to rebind parts of -the global filesystem namespace into another part of the namespace. -This now works even at the leaf-node level, which means that -individual files and device nodes may be bound into other parts of the -namespace. This is like making links, but better, because it works -across filesystems (unlike hard links) and works through chroot() -gaols (unlike symbolic links). - -Because of these improvements to the VFS, the multi-mount capability -in devfs is no longer needed. The administrator may create a minimal -device tree inside a chroot(2) gaol by using VFS bindings. As this -provides most of the features of the devfs multi-mount capability, I -removed the multi-mount support code (after issuing an RFC). This -yielded code size reductions and simplifications. - -If you want to construct a minimal chroot() gaol, the following -command should suffice: - -mount --bind /dev/null /gaol/dev/null - - -Repeat for other device nodes you want to expose. Simple! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - -Operational issues - - -Instructions for the impatient - -Nobody likes reading documentation. People just want to get in there -and play. So this section tells you quickly the steps you need to take -to run with devfs mounted over /dev. Skip these steps and you will end -up with a nearly unbootable system. Subsequent sections describe the -issues in more detail, and discuss non-essential configuration -options. - -Devfsd -OK, if you're reading this, I assume you want to play with -devfs. First you should ensure that /usr/src/linux contains a -recent kernel source tree. Then you need to compile devfsd, the device -management daemon, available at - -http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/. -Because the kernel has a naming scheme -which is quite different from the old naming scheme, you need to -install devfsd so that software and configuration files that use the -old naming scheme will not break. - -Compile and install devfsd. You will be provided with a default -configuration file /etc/devfsd.conf which will provide -compatibility symlinks for the old naming scheme. Don't change this -config file unless you know what you're doing. Even if you think you -do know what you're doing, don't change it until you've followed all -the steps below and booted a devfs-enabled system and verified that it -works. - -Now edit your main system boot script so that devfsd is started at the -very beginning (before any filesystem -checks). /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is often the main boot script -on systems with SysV-style boot scripts. On systems with BSD-style -boot scripts it is often /etc/rc. Also check -/sbin/rc. - -NOTE that the line you put into the boot -script should be exactly: - -/sbin/devfsd /dev - -DO NOT use some special daemon-launching -programme, otherwise the boot script may not wait for devfsd to finish -initialising. - -System Libraries -There may still be some problems because of broken software making -assumptions about device names. In particular, some software does not -handle devices which are symbolic links. If you are running a libc 5 -based system, install libc 5.4.44 (if you have libc 5.4.46, go back to -libc 5.4.44, which is actually correct). If you are running a glibc -based system, make sure you have glibc 2.1.3 or later. - -/etc/securetty -PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is supposed to be a flexible -mechanism for providing better user authentication and access to -services. Unfortunately, it's also fragile, complex and undocumented -(check out RedHat 6.1, and probably other distributions as well). PAM -has problems with symbolic links. Append the following lines to your -/etc/securetty file: - -vc/1 -vc/2 -vc/3 -vc/4 -vc/5 -vc/6 -vc/7 -vc/8 - -This will not weaken security. If you have a version of util-linux -earlier than 2.10.h, please upgrade to 2.10.h or later. If you -absolutely cannot upgrade, then also append the following lines to -your /etc/securetty file: - -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 - -This may potentially weaken security by allowing root logins over the -network (a password is still required, though). However, since there -are problems with dealing with symlinks, I'm suspicious of the level -of security offered in any case. - -XFree86 -While not essential, it's probably a good idea to upgrade to XFree86 -4.0, as patches went in to make it more devfs-friendly. If you don't, -you'll probably need to apply the following patch to -/etc/security/console.perms so that ordinary users can run -startx.

Hence I recommend putting the actual mouse -device (for example /dev/psaux) into your -/etc/X11/XF86Config file (and similarly for the GPM -configuration file). - -Alternatively, use the same technique used for unsupported drivers -described above. - -The Kernel -Finally, you need to make sure devfs is compiled into your kernel. Set -CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y, CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y and CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y by -using favourite configuration tool (i.e. make config or -make xconfig) and then make clean and then recompile your kernel and -modules. At boot, devfs will be mounted onto /dev. - -If you encounter problems booting (for example if you forgot a -configuration step), you can pass devfs=nomount at the kernel -boot command line. This will prevent the kernel from mounting devfs at -boot time onto /dev. - -In general, a kernel built with CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y but without mounting -devfs onto /dev is completely safe, and requires no -configuration changes. One exception to take note of is when -LABEL= directives are used in /etc/fstab. In this -case you will be unable to boot properly. This is because the -mount(8) programme uses /proc/partitions as part of -the volume label search process, and the device names it finds are not -available, because setting CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y changes the names in -/proc/partitions, irrespective of whether devfs is mounted. - -Now you've finished all the steps required. You're now ready to boot -your shiny new kernel. Enjoy. - -Changing the configuration - -OK, you've now booted a devfs-enabled system, and everything works. -Now you may feel like changing the configuration (common targets are -/etc/fstab and /etc/devfsd.conf). Since you have a -system that works, if you make any changes and it doesn't work, you -now know that you only have to restore your configuration files to the -default and it will work again. - - -Permissions persistence across reboots - -If you don't use mknod(2) to create a device file, nor use chmod(2) or -chown(2) to change the ownerships/permissions, the inode ctime will -remain at 0 (the epoch, 12 am, 1-JAN-1970, GMT). Anything with a ctime -later than this has had it's ownership/permissions changed. Hence, a -simple script or programme may be used to tar up all changed inodes, -prior to shutdown. Although effective, many consider this approach a -kludge. - -A much better approach is to use devfsd to save and restore -permissions. It may be configured to record changes in permissions and -will save them in a database (in fact a directory tree), and restore -these upon boot. This is an efficient method and results in immediate -saving of current permissions (unlike the tar approach, which saves -permissions at some unspecified future time). - -The default configuration file supplied with devfsd has config entries -which you may uncomment to enable persistence management. - -If you decide to use the tar approach anyway, be aware that tar will -first unlink(2) an inode before creating a new device node. The -unlink(2) has the effect of breaking the connection between a devfs -entry and the device driver. If you use the "devfs=only" boot option, -you lose access to the device driver, requiring you to reload the -module. I consider this a bug in tar (there is no real need to -unlink(2) the inode first). - -Alternatively, you can use devfsd to provide more sophisticated -management of device permissions. You can use devfsd to store -permissions for whole groups of devices with a single configuration -entry, rather than the conventional single entry per device entry. - -Permissions database stored in mounted-over /dev - -If you wish to save and restore your device permissions into the -disc-based /dev while still mounting devfs onto /dev -you may do so. This requires a 2.4.x kernel (in fact, 2.3.99 or -later), which has the VFS binding facility. You need to do the -following to set this up: - - - -make sure the kernel does not mount devfs at boot time - - -make sure you have a correct /dev/console entry in your -root file-system (where your disc-based /dev lives) - -create the /dev-state directory - - -add the following lines near the very beginning of your boot -scripts: - -mount --bind /dev /dev-state -mount -t devfs none /dev -devfsd /dev - - - - -add the following lines to your /etc/devfsd.conf file: - -REGISTER ^pt[sy] IGNORE -CREATE ^pt[sy] IGNORE -CHANGE ^pt[sy] IGNORE -DELETE ^pt[sy] IGNORE -REGISTER .* COPY /dev-state/$devname $devpath -CREATE .* COPY $devpath /dev-state/$devname -CHANGE .* COPY $devpath /dev-state/$devname -DELETE .* CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink /dev-state/$devname -RESTORE /dev-state - -Note that the sample devfsd.conf file contains these lines, -as well as other sample configurations you may find useful. See the -devfsd distribution - - -reboot. - - - - -Permissions database stored in normal directory - -If you are using an older kernel which doesn't support VFS binding, -then you won't be able to have the permissions database in a -mounted-over /dev. However, you can still use a regular -directory to store the database. The sample /etc/devfsd.conf -file above may still be used. You will need to create the -/dev-state directory prior to installing devfsd. If you have -old permissions in /dev, then just copy (or move) the device -nodes over to the new directory. - -Which method is better? - -The best method is to have the permissions database stored in the -mounted-over /dev. This is because you will not need to copy -device nodes over to /dev-state, and because it allows you to -switch between devfs and non-devfs kernels, without requiring you to -copy permissions between /dev-state (for devfs) and -/dev (for non-devfs). - - -Dealing with drivers without devfs support - -Currently, not all device drivers in the kernel have been modified to -use devfs. Device drivers which do not yet have devfs support will not -automagically appear in devfs. The simplest way to create device nodes -for these drivers is to unpack a tarfile containing the required -device nodes. You can do this in your boot scripts. All your drivers -will now work as before. - -Hopefully for most people devfs will have enough support so that they -can mount devfs directly over /dev without losing most functionality -(i.e. losing access to various devices). As of 22-JAN-1998 (devfs -patch version 10) I am now running this way. All the devices I have -are available in devfs, so I don't lose anything. - -WARNING: if your configuration requires the old-style device names -(i.e. /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1), you must install devfsd and configure -it to maintain compatibility entries. It is almost certain that you -will require this. Note that the kernel creates a compatibility entry -for the root device, so you don't need initrd. - -Note that you no longer need to mount devpts if you use Unix98 PTYs, -as devfs can manage /dev/pts itself. This saves you some RAM, as you -don't need to compile and install devpts. Note that some versions of -glibc have a bug with Unix98 pty handling on devfs systems. Contact -the glibc maintainers for a fix. Glibc 2.1.3 has the fix. - -Note also that apart from editing /etc/fstab, other things will need -to be changed if you *don't* install devfsd. Some software (like the X -server) hard-wire device names in their source. It really is much -easier to install devfsd so that compatibility entries are created. -You can then slowly migrate your system to using the new device names -(for example, by starting with /etc/fstab), and then limiting the -compatibility entries that devfsd creates. - -IF YOU CONFIGURE TO MOUNT DEVFS AT BOOT, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL DEVFSD -BEFORE YOU BOOT A DEVFS-ENABLED KERNEL! - -Now that devfs has gone into the 2.3.46 kernel, I'm getting a lot of -reports back. Many of these are because people are trying to run -without devfsd, and hence some things break. Please just run devfsd if -things break. I want to concentrate on real bugs rather than -misconfiguration problems at the moment. If people are willing to fix -bugs/false assumptions in other code (i.e. glibc, X server) and submit -that to the respective maintainers, that would be great. - - -All the way with Devfs - -The devfs kernel patch creates a rationalised device tree. As stated -above, if you want to keep using the old /dev naming scheme, -you just need to configure devfsd appopriately (see the man -page). People who prefer the old names can ignore this section. For -those of us who like the rationalised names and an uncluttered -/dev, read on. - -If you don't run devfsd, or don't enable compatibility entry -management, then you will have to configure your system to use the new -names. For example, you will then need to edit your -/etc/fstab to use the new disc naming scheme. If you want to -be able to boot non-devfs kernels, you will need compatibility -symlinks in the underlying disc-based /dev pointing back to -the old-style names for when you boot a kernel without devfs. - -You can selectively decide which devices you want compatibility -entries for. For example, you may only want compatibility entries for -BSD pseudo-terminal devices (otherwise you'll have to patch you C -library or use Unix98 ptys instead). It's just a matter of putting in -the correct regular expression into /dev/devfsd.conf. - -There are other choices of naming schemes that you may prefer. For -example, I don't use the kernel-supplied -names, because they are too verbose. A common misconception is -that the kernel-supplied names are meant to be used directly in -configuration files. This is not the case. They are designed to -reflect the layout of the devices attached and to provide easy -classification. - -If you like the kernel-supplied names, that's fine. If you don't then -you should be using devfsd to construct a namespace more to your -liking. Devfsd has built-in code to construct a -namespace that is both logical and easy to -manage. In essence, it creates a convenient abbreviation of the -kernel-supplied namespace. - -You are of course free to build your own namespace. Devfsd has all the -infrastructure required to make this easy for you. All you need do is -write a script. You can even write some C code and devfsd can load the -shared object as a callable extension. - - -Other Issues - -The init programme -Another thing to take note of is whether your init programme -creates a Unix socket /dev/telinit. Some versions of init -create /dev/telinit so that the telinit programme can -communicate with the init process. If you have such a system you need -to make sure that devfs is mounted over /dev *before* init -starts. In other words, you can't leave the mounting of devfs to -/etc/rc, since this is executed after init. Other -versions of init require a named pipe /dev/initctl -which must exist *before* init starts. Once again, you need to -mount devfs and then create the named pipe *before* init -starts. - -The default behaviour now is not to mount devfs onto /dev at -boot time for 2.3.x and later kernels. You can correct this with the -"devfs=mount" boot option. This solves any problems with init, -and also prevents the dreaded: - -Cannot open initial console - -message. For 2.2.x kernels where you need to apply the devfs patch, -the default is to mount. - -If you have automatic mounting of devfs onto /dev then you -may need to create /dev/initctl in your boot scripts. The -following lines should suffice: - -mknod /dev/initctl p -kill -SIGUSR1 1 # tell init that /dev/initctl now exists - -Alternatively, if you don't want the kernel to mount devfs onto -/dev then you could use the following procedure is a -guideline for how to get around /dev/initctl problems: - -# cd /sbin -# mv init init.real -# cat > init -#! /bin/sh -mount -n -t devfs none /dev -mknod /dev/initctl p -exec /sbin/init.real $* -[control-D] -# chmod a+x init - -Note that newer versions of init create /dev/initctl -automatically, so you don't have to worry about this. - -Module autoloading -You will need to configure devfsd to enable module -autoloading. The following lines should be placed in your -/etc/devfsd.conf file: - -LOOKUP .* MODLOAD - - -As of devfsd-v1.3.10, a generic /etc/modules.devfs -configuration file is installed, which is used by the MODLOAD -action. This should be sufficient for most configurations. If you -require further configuration, edit your /etc/modules.conf -file. The way module autoloading work with devfs is: - - -a process attempts to lookup a device node (e.g. /dev/fred) - - -if that device node does not exist, the full pathname is passed to -devfsd as a string - - -devfsd will pass the string to the modprobe programme (provided the -configuration line shown above is present), and specifies that -/etc/modules.devfs is the configuration file - - -/etc/modules.devfs includes /etc/modules.conf to -access local configurations - -modprobe will search it's configuration files, looking for an alias -that translates the pathname into a module name - - -the translated pathname is then used to load the module. - - -If you wanted a lookup of /dev/fred to load the -mymod module, you would require the following configuration -line in /etc/modules.conf: - -alias /dev/fred mymod - -The /etc/modules.devfs configuration file provides many such -aliases for standard device names. If you look closely at this file, -you will note that some modules require multiple alias configuration -lines. This is required to support module autoloading for old and new -device names. - -Mounting root off a devfs device -If you wish to mount root off a devfs device when you pass the -"devfs=only" boot option, then you need to pass in the -"root=<device>" option to the kernel when booting. If you use -LILO, then you must have this in lilo.conf: - -append = "root=<device>" - -Surprised? Yep, so was I. It turns out if you have (as most people -do): - -root = <device> - - -then LILO will determine the device number of <device> and will -write that device number into a special place in the kernel image -before starting the kernel, and the kernel will use that device number -to mount the root filesystem. So, using the "append" variety ensures -that LILO passes the root filesystem device as a string, which devfs -can then use. - -Note that this isn't an issue if you don't pass "devfs=only". - -TTY issues -The ttyname(3) function in some versions of the C library makes -false assumptions about device entries which are symbolic links. The -tty(1) programme is one that depends on this function. I've -written a patch to libc 5.4.43 which fixes this. This has been -included in libc 5.4.44 and a similar fix is in glibc 2.1.3. - - -Kernel Naming Scheme - -The kernel provides a default naming scheme. This scheme is designed -to make it easy to search for specific devices or device types, and to -view the available devices. Some device types (such as hard discs), -have a directory of entries, making it easy to see what devices of -that class are available. Often, the entries are symbolic links into a -directory tree that reflects the topology of available devices. The -topological tree is useful for finding how your devices are arranged. - -Below is a list of the naming schemes for the most common drivers. A -list of reserved device names is -available for reference. Please send email to -rgooch@atnf.csiro.au to obtain an allocation. Please be -patient (the maintainer is busy). An alternative name may be allocated -instead of the requested name, at the discretion of the maintainer. - -Disc Devices - -All discs, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the -/dev/discs hierarchy: - - /dev/discs/disc0 first disc - /dev/discs/disc1 second disc - - -Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the directory for that -device. The device directory contains: - - disc for the whole disc - part* for individual partitions - - -CD-ROM Devices - -All CD-ROMs, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the -/dev/cdroms hierarchy: - - /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 first CD-ROM - /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 second CD-ROM - - -Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the real device entry for -that device. - -Tape Devices - -All tapes, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the -/dev/tapes hierarchy: - - /dev/tapes/tape0 first tape - /dev/tapes/tape1 second tape - - -Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the directory for that -device. The device directory contains: - - mt for mode 0 - mtl for mode 1 - mtm for mode 2 - mta for mode 3 - mtn for mode 0, no rewind - mtln for mode 1, no rewind - mtmn for mode 2, no rewind - mtan for mode 3, no rewind - - -SCSI Devices - -To uniquely identify any SCSI device requires the following -information: - - controller (host adapter) - bus (SCSI channel) - target (SCSI ID) - unit (Logical Unit Number) - - -All SCSI devices are placed under /dev/scsi (assuming devfs -is mounted on /dev). Hence, a SCSI device with the following -parameters: c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as: - - /dev/scsi/host1/bus2/target3/lun4 device directory - - -Inside this directory, a number of device entries may be created, -depending on which SCSI device-type drivers were installed. - -See the section on the disc naming scheme to see what entries the SCSI -disc driver creates. - -See the section on the tape naming scheme to see what entries the SCSI -tape driver creates. - -The SCSI CD-ROM driver creates: - - cd - - -The SCSI generic driver creates: - - generic - - -IDE Devices - -To uniquely identify any IDE device requires the following -information: - - controller - bus (aka. primary/secondary) - target (aka. master/slave) - unit - - -All IDE devices are placed under /dev/ide, and uses a similar -naming scheme to the SCSI subsystem. - -XT Hard Discs - -All XT discs are placed under /dev/xd. The first XT disc has -the directory /dev/xd/disc0. - -TTY devices - -The tty devices now appear as: - - New name Old-name Device Type - -------- -------- ----------- - /dev/tts/{0,1,...} /dev/ttyS{0,1,...} Serial ports - /dev/cua/{0,1,...} /dev/cua{0,1,...} Call out devices - /dev/vc/0 /dev/tty Current virtual console - /dev/vc/{1,2,...} /dev/tty{1...63} Virtual consoles - /dev/vcc/{0,1,...} /dev/vcs{1...63} Virtual consoles - /dev/pty/m{0,1,...} /dev/ptyp??

In some -cases, the kernel-supplied naming scheme is quite convenient, so -devfsd does not provide another naming scheme. The convenience names -that devfsd creates are in fact the same names as the original devfs -kernel patch created (before Linus mandated the Big Name -Change). These are referred to as "new compatibility entries". - -In order to configure devfsd to create these convenience names, the -following lines should be placed in your /etc/devfsd.conf: - -REGISTER .* MKNEWCOMPAT -UNREGISTER .* RMNEWCOMPAT - -This will cause devfsd to create (and destroy) symbolic links which -point to the kernel-supplied names. - -SCSI Hard Discs - -All SCSI discs are placed under /dev/sd (assuming devfs is -mounted on /dev). Hence, a SCSI disc with the following -parameters: c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as: - - /dev/sd/c1b2t3u4 for the whole disc - /dev/sd/c1b2t3u4p5 for the 5th partition - /dev/sd/c1b2t3u4p5s6 for the 6th slice in the 5th partition - - -SCSI Tapes - -All SCSI tapes are placed under /dev/st. A similar naming -scheme is used as for SCSI discs. A SCSI tape with the -parameters:c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as: - - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m0 for mode 0 - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m1 for mode 1 - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m2 for mode 2 - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m3 for mode 3 - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m0n for mode 0, no rewind - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m1n for mode 1, no rewind - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m2n for mode 2, no rewind - /dev/st/c1b2t3u4m3n for mode 3, no rewind - - -SCSI CD-ROMs - -All SCSI CD-ROMs are placed under /dev/sr. A similar naming -scheme is used as for SCSI discs. A SCSI CD-ROM with the -parameters:c=1,b=2,t=3,u=4 would appear as: - - /dev/sr/c1b2t3u4 - - -SCSI Generic Devices - -The generic (aka. raw) interface for all SCSI devices are placed under -/dev/sg.

However, there are a number of userspace programmes that use -the device number as a unique handle for a device. An example is the -find programme, which uses device numbers to determine whether -an inode is on a different filesystem than another inode. The device -number used is the one for the block device which a filesystem is -using. To preserve compatibility with userspace programmes, block -devices using devfs need to have unique device numbers allocated to -them. Furthermore, POSIX specifies device numbers, so some kind of -device number needs to be presented to userspace. - -The simplest option (especially when porting drivers to devfs) is to -keep using the old major and minor numbers. Devfs will take whatever -values are given for major&minor and pass them onto userspace. - -This device number is a 16 bit number, so this leaves plenty of space -for large numbers of discs and partitions. This scheme can also be -used for character devices, in particular the tty devices, which are -currently limited to 256 pseudo-ttys (this limits the total number of -simultaneous xterms and remote logins). Note that the device number -is limited to the range 36864-61439 (majors 144-239), in order to -avoid any possible conflicts with existing official allocations. - -Please note that using dynamically allocated block device numbers may -break the NFS daemons (both user and kernel mode), which expect dev_t -for a given device to be constant over the lifetime of remote mounts. - -A final note on this scheme: since it doesn't increase the size of -device numbers, there are no compatibility issues with userspace. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - -Questions and Answers - - -Making things work -Alternatives to devfs -What I don't like about devfs -How to report bugs -Strange kernel messages -Compilation problems with devfsd - - - -Making things work - -Here are some common questions and answers. - - - -Devfsd doesn't start - -Make sure you have compiled and installed devfsd -Make sure devfsd is being started from your boot -scripts -Make sure you have configured your kernel to enable devfs (see -below) -Make sure devfs is mounted (see below) - - -Devfsd is not managing all my permissions - -Make sure you are capturing the appropriate events. For example, -device entries created by the kernel generate REGISTER events, -but those created by devfsd generate CREATE events. - - -Devfsd is not capturing all REGISTER events - -See the previous entry: you may need to capture CREATE events. - - -X will not start - -Make sure you followed the steps -outlined above. - - -Why don't my network devices appear in devfs? - -This is not a bug. Network devices have their own, completely separate -namespace. They are accessed via socket(2) and -setsockopt(2) calls, and thus require no device nodes. I have -raised the possibilty of moving network devices into the device -namespace, but have had no response. - - -How can I test if I have devfs compiled into my kernel? - -All filesystems built-in or currently loaded are listed in -/proc/filesystems. If you see a devfs entry, then -you know that devfs was compiled into your kernel. If you have -correctly configured and rebuilt your kernel, then devfs will be -built-in. If you think you've configured it in, but -/proc/filesystems doesn't show it, you've made a mistake. -Common mistakes include: - -Using a 2.2.x kernel without applying the devfs patch (if you -don't know how to patch your kernel, use 2.4.x instead, don't bother -asking me how to patch) -Forgetting to set CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y -Forgetting to set CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y -Forgetting to set CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y (if you want devfs -to be automatically mounted at boot) -Editing your .config manually, instead of using make -config or make xconfig -Forgetting to run make dep; make clean after changing the -configuration and before compiling -Forgetting to compile your kernel and modules -Forgetting to install your kernel -Forgetting to install your modules - -Please check twice that you've done all these steps before sending in -a bug report. - - - -How can I test if devfs is mounted on /dev? - -The device filesystem will always create an entry called -".devfsd", which is used to communicate with the daemon. Even -if the daemon is not running, this entry will exist. Testing for the -existence of this entry is the approved method of determining if devfs -is mounted or not. Note that the type of entry (i.e. regular file, -character device, named pipe, etc.) may change without notice. Only -the existence of the entry should be relied upon. - - -When I start devfsd, I see the error: -Error opening file: ".devfsd" No such file or directory? - -This means that devfs is not mounted. Make sure you have devfs mounted. - - -How do I mount devfs? - -First make sure you have devfs compiled into your kernel (see -above). Then you will either need to: - -set CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y in your kernel config -pass devfs=mount to your boot loader -mount devfs manually in your boot scripts with: -mount -t none devfs /dev - - - -Mount by volume LABEL=<label> doesn't work with -devfs - -Most probably you are not mounting devfs onto /dev. What -happens is that if your kernel config has CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y -then the contents of /proc/partitions will have the devfs -names (such as scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1). The -contents of /proc/partitions are used by mount(8) when -mounting by volume label. If devfs is not mounted on /dev, -then mount(8) will fail to find devices. The solution is to -make sure that devfs is mounted on /dev. See above for how to -do that. - - -I have extra or incorrect entries in /dev - -You may have stale entries in your dev-state area. Check for a -RESTORE configuration line in your devfsd configuration -(typically /etc/devfsd.conf). If you have this line, check -the contents of the specified directory for stale entries. Remove -any entries which are incorrect, then reboot. - - -I get "Unable to open initial console" messages at boot - -This usually happens when you don't have devfs automounted onto -/dev at boot time, and there is no valid -/dev/console entry on your root file-system. Create a valid -/dev/console device node. - - - - - -Alternatives to devfs - -I've attempted to collate all the anti-devfs proposals and explain -their limitations. Under construction. - - -Why not just pass device create/remove events to a daemon? - -Here the suggestion is to develop an API in the kernel so that devices -can register create and remove events, and a daemon listens for those -events. The daemon would then populate/depopulate /dev (which -resides on disc). - -This has several limitations: - - -it only works for modules loaded and unloaded (or devices inserted -and removed) after the kernel has finished booting. Without a database -of events, there is no way the daemon could fully populate -/dev - - -if you add a database to this scheme, the question is then how to -present that database to user-space. If you make it a list of strings -with embedded event codes which are passed through a pipe to the -daemon, then this is only of use to the daemon. I would argue that the -natural way to present this data is via a filesystem (since many of -the events will be of a hierarchical nature), such as devfs. -Presenting the data as a filesystem makes it easy for the user to see -what is available and also makes it easy to write scripts to scan the -"database" - - -the tight binding between device nodes and drivers is no longer -possible (requiring the otherwise perfectly avoidable -table lookups) - - -you cannot catch inode lookup events on /dev which means -that module autoloading requires device nodes to be created. This is a -problem, particularly for drivers where only a few inodes are created -from a potentially large set - - -this technique can't be used when the root FS is mounted -read-only - - - - -Just implement a better scsidev - -This suggestion involves taking the scsidev programme and -extending it to scan for all devices, not just SCSI devices. The -scsidev programme works by scanning /proc/scsi - -Problems: - - -the kernel does not currently provide a list of all devices -available. Not all drivers register entries in /proc or -generate kernel messages - - -there is no uniform mechanism to register devices other than the -devfs API - - -implementing such an API is then the same as the -proposal above - - - - -Put /dev on a ramdisc - -This suggestion involves creating a ramdisc and populating it with -device nodes and then mounting it over /dev. - -Problems: - - - -this doesn't help when mounting the root filesystem, since you -still need a device node to do that - - -if you want to use this technique for the root device node as -well, you need to use initrd. This complicates the booting sequence -and makes it significantly harder to administer and configure. The -initrd is essentially opaque, robbing the system administrator of easy -configuration - - -insufficient information is available to correctly populate the -ramdisc. So we come back to the -proposal above to "solve" this - - -a ramdisc-based solution would take more kernel memory, since the -backing store would be (at best) normal VFS inodes and dentries, which -take 284 bytes and 112 bytes, respectively, for each entry. Compare -that to 72 bytes for devfs - - - - -Do nothing: there's no problem - -Sometimes people can be heard to claim that the existing scheme is -fine. This is what they're ignoring: - - -device number size (8 bits each for major and minor) is a real -limitation, and must be fixed somehow. Systems with large numbers of -SCSI devices, for example, will continue to consume the remaining -unallocated major numbers. USB will also need to push beyond the 8 bit -minor limitation - - -simply increasing the device number size is insufficient. Apart -from causing a lot of pain, it doesn't solve the management issues -of a /dev with thousands or more device nodes - - -ignoring the problem of a huge /dev will not make it go -away, and dismisses the legitimacy of a large number of people who -want a dynamic /dev - - -the standard response then becomes: "write a device management -daemon", which brings us back to the -proposal above - - - - -What I don't like about devfs - -Here are some common complaints about devfs, and some suggestions and -solutions that may make it more palatable for you. I can't please -everybody, but I do try :-) - -I hate the naming scheme - -First, remember that no naming scheme will please everybody. You hate -the scheme, others love it. Who's to say who's right and who's wrong? -Ultimately, the person who writes the code gets to choose, and what -exists now is a combination of the choices made by the -devfs author and the -kernel maintainer (Linus). - -However, not all is lost. If you want to create your own naming -scheme, it is a simple matter to write a standalone script, hack -devfsd, or write a script called by devfsd. You can create whatever -naming scheme you like. - -Further, if you want to remove all traces of the devfs naming scheme -from /dev, you can mount devfs elsewhere (say -/devfs) and populate /dev with links into -/devfs. This population can be automated using devfsd if you -wish. - -You can even use the VFS binding facility to make the links, rather -than using symbolic links. This way, you don't even have to see the -"destination" of these symbolic links. - -Devfs puts policy into the kernel - -There's already policy in the kernel. Device numbers are in fact -policy (why should the kernel dictate what device numbers I use?). -Face it, some policy has to be in the kernel. The real difference -between device names as policy and device numbers as policy is that -no one will use device numbers directly, because device -numbers are devoid of meaning to humans and are ugly. At least with -the devfs device names, (even though you can add your own naming -scheme) some people will use the devfs-supplied names directly. This -offends some people :-) - -Devfs is bloatware - -This is not even remotely true. As shown above, -both code and data size are quite modest. - - -How to report bugs - -If you have (or think you have) a bug with devfs, please follow the -steps below: - - - -make sure you have enabled debugging output when configuring your -kernel. You will need to set (at least) the following config options: - -CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG=y -CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y -CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y - - - -please make sure you have the latest devfs patches applied.
