Block devices from an nd bus, in addition to accepting "struct bio"
based requests, also have the capability to perform byte-aligned
accesses.  By default only the bio/block interface is used.  However, if
another driver can make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it
can claim/disable the block interface and use the byte-aligned "nd_io"
interface.

The BTT driver is the intended first consumer of this mechanism to allow
layering atomic sector update guarantees on top of nd_io capable
nd-bus-block-devices.

When BTT is first set up, user binds a seed "btt0" to a block device,
such as /dev/pmem0.  It then creates /dev/nd0 bound to /dev/pmem0.

After a reboot, nd_btt_autodetect() detects the BTT setup and creates a
new "btt1" since it is called after a seed "btt0" is created.
Therefore, it creates /dev/nd1 bound to /dev/pmem0 this time.

Is this how it is intended to work, i.e. "btt0" as the default seed btt?
While user should not rely on the name of /dev/nd%d, I thought this
device name change was confusing...

Thanks,
-Toshi

So we can fix this to be at least as stable as the backing device
names [1], but as far as I can see we would need to start using the
backing device name in the btt device name.  A strawman proposal is to
append 's' to indicated 'sectored'.  So /dev/pmem0s is the btt
instance fronting /dev/pmem0.  Other examples:

/dev/pmem0p1s
/dev/ndblk0.0s
/dev/ndblk0.0p1s
...

Thoughts?

I like that; it also hints to the user that another driver has already
claimed /dev/pmem0, similar to how the presence of /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2,
etc. hints that a program has partitioned /dev/sda.
