[illumos-gate] 16231 git-pbchk -c $CHECK $FILES crashes with python stack trace -- Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld⊙ho>

when a driver is going to be attached to a device is looks at /etc/driver_aliases.conf or at compatible property from prtconf -vp ?

So the way to think of /etc/driver_aliases is that it's an on-disk snapshot of everything the kernel knows.

Things are added to it and then told to the kernel.

The kernel maintains an internal mapping.

When we get to the point that we're trying to bind a dev_info_t to a driver, the kernel will consult its internal mapping table. It will watch each entry in the compatible entry on the dev_info_t and try to find a matching driver.

Thef irst thing that it finds will be taken, hence the order of entries in the compatible array is important and should go from most specific to least specific.

our opengrok last index update was 24 jan, is there update planned already?:)

it can not find some recent bits...

rmustacc thank you for the explanation now I got it.

tsoome: I believe jbk mentioned some issues with it here on February 6th and 9th

ah..

well it had stopped responding for several days

which prompted me to finally set one up locally on my own server

and then i discovered how slooooooooow it is to index

doing illumos-gate + freebsd + linux took > 24 hours on a 8 core / 16 thread machine w/ 128gb of ram

(and it seemed like the bulk of it was linux)

if i had more time, i'd be curious to see about something using rust or such

or one thing i thought might be interesting would be to use something (there should be stuff out there) that can actually parse C (as well as the preprocessor) and index based off of that

since it seems like the ctags it uses i don't think does that but is more hueristic (for lack of a better term)

tsoome: OpenGrok indexing should be running again. Sorry about that!

It is an increasingly tedious piece of software to operate -- not that it was ever especially good to begin with.
