Project description

The purpose of this project is to convert all PCI Drivers attachments to be table driven. The devmatch infrastructure gives us a way to match up hardware with kernel modules that implement drivers that claim the hardware. The drivers need some modification before devmatch can use them. Specifically, they need to have their device ID scans done via a table and that table needs to be decorated with PNP_INFO tag so the compiler and kld_xref extract the metadata that devmatch needs to do this job.

Work will be needed to move the in-line code to tables, some of the tables lookups may be moved to standardized routines. Trimming GENERIC to show that converted drivers work is also required.

There are about 243 such pci drivers. The plan is to convert a significant portion of them and maintain a documentation of the conversion.

A set of 30-40 drivers to be converted and decorated with PNP_INFO

Converting 2/3 of the drivers and decorating with PNP_INFO (On an average about 10-12 every week)

Converting all the drivers and automated tests for them

As there a lot of the drivers, the testing needs to be automated in some way.
