36 * Some drivers need to be able to keep accurate records of open/close
37 * calls to determine whether a device is still in use. To allow this
38 * open/close calls have been typed and the type is passed as a third
39 * argument in open/close calls, as in:
40 * (*cdevsw[getmajor(dev)].d_open)(getminor(dev), flag, OTYP_CHR);
41 * or
42 * (*cdevsw[getmajor(dev)].d_close)(getminor(dev), flag, OTYP_CHR);
43 * Five types of open/close calls have been defined:
44 * OTYP_BLK: open/close of a block special file
45 * OTYP_MNT: open/close for mounting/unmounting a file system
46 * OTYP_CHR: open/close of a character special file
47 * OTYP_SWP: open/close of a swapping device.
48 * OTYP_LYR: open/close calls from a driver to another driver,
49 * without a file being open for the dev of the lower driver.
51 * The first four types of open/close calls obey the protocol rule
52 * that many more opens may occur for a given minor(dev) for that type of open,
53 * but a close call happens only on the last close of that dev.
54 * This protocol allows a flag to be used (set by opens, cleared by closes)
55 * to keep track of the state for a given minor device value.
57 * Calls of the fifth type (OTYP_LYR) must obey the protocol rule
58 * that open and close call calls are always paired. This protocol
59 * permits several drivers to be layers above the same device driver.
60 * A counter can be used for this protocol.
62 * The value OTYPCNT is defined for the purpose of declaring arrays
63 * in drivers and for performing range checks (0 <= otyp < OTYPCNT)
64 * on values passed.
