Add the BIO_ORDERED flag for struct bio and update bio clients to use it.
The barrier semantics of bioq_insert_tail() were broken in two ways:
o In bioq_disksort(), an added bio could be inserted at the head of
the queue, even when a barrier was present, if the sort key for
the new entry was less than that of the last queued barrier bio.
o The last_offset used to generate the sort key for newly queued bios
did not stay at the position of the barrier until either the
barrier was de-queued, or a new barrier (which updates last_offset)
was queued. When a barrier is in effect, we know that the disk
will pass through the barrier position just before the
"blocked bios" are released, so using the barrier's offset for
last_offset is the optimal choice.
sys/geom/sched/subr_disk.c:
sys/kern/subr_disk.c:
o Update last_offset in bioq_insert_tail().
o Only update last_offset in bioq_remove() if the removed bio is
at the head of the queue (typically due to a call via
bioq_takefirst()) and no barrier is active.
o In bioq_disksort(), if we have a barrier (insert_point is non-NULL),
set prev to the barrier and cur to it's next element. Now that
last_offset is kept at the barrier position, this change isn't
strictly necessary, but since we have to take a decision branch
anyway, it does avoid one, no-op, loop iteration in the while
loop that immediately follows.
o In bioq_disksort(), bypass the normal sort for bios with the
BIO_ORDERED attribute and instead insert them into the queue
with bioq_insert_tail(). bioq_insert_tail() not only gives
the desired command order during insertion, but also provides
barrier semantics so that commands disksorted in the future
cannot pass the just enqueued transaction.

It is valid for an on-disk GPT header to report a header size which is
greater than 92 bytes. Previously, we would read in the sector and copy
only the 92 bytes that we know how to deal with before calculating the
checksum for comparison. This meant that when we did the checksum, we
overshot the buffer and took in random memory, so the checksum would fail.
We now determine the size of the header and allocate enough space to
preserve the entire on-disk contents. This allows us to be correctly

This is necessary for two reasons:
1) In order to avoid collisions with the use of a BIOs flags set by a consumer
or a provider
2) Because GV_BIO_DONE was used to mark a BIO as done, not enough flags was
available, so the consumer flags of a BIO had to be misused in order to
support enough flags. The new queue makes it possible to recycle the
GV_BIO_DONE flag into GV_BIO_GROW.
As a consequence, gvinum will now work with any other GEOM class under it or
on top of it.

appear to come from a consumer of a gvinum volume. Use bio_cflags only for

A lot have changed in this time, and here are the most important:
- Gvinum now uses one single workerthread instead of one thread for each
volume and each plex. The reason for this is that the previous scheme was
very complex, and was the cause of many of the bugs discovered in gvinum.
Instead, gvinum now uses one worker thread with an event queue, quite
similar to what used in gmirror.
- The rebuild/grow/initialize/parity check routines no longer runs in
separate threads, but are run as regular I/O requests with special flags.
This made it easier to support mounted growing and parity rebuild.
- Support for growing striped and raid5-plexes, meaning that one can extend the
volumes for these plex types in addition to the concat type. Also works while
the volume is mounted.
- Implementation of many of the missing commands from the old vinum:
attach/detach, start (was partially implemented), stop (was partially
implemented), concat, mirror, stripe, raid5 (shortcuts for creating volumes
with one plex of these organizations).
- The parity check and rebuild no longer goes between userland/kernel, meaning
that the gvinum command will not stay and wait forever for the rebuild to
finish. You can instead watch the status with the list command.
- Many problems with gvinum have been reported since 5.x, and some has been hard
to fix due to the complicated architecture. Hopefully, it should be more
stable and better handle edge cases that previously made gvinum crash.
- Failed drives no longer disappears entirely, but now leave behind a dummy
drive that makes sure the original state is not forgotten in case the system
is rebooted between drive failures/swaps.

as a function of the start LBA of the partition. The
add verb picks an index for the range and then invokes
the add method of the scheme to fill in the blanks. It
