Normally gmirror allows colliding requests to proceed whenever a
synchronization request completes and advances to the next offset. However
if an I/O request collides with one of the final g_mirror_syncreqs, nothing
releases it once synchronization completes, resulting in an apparent I/O
hang. The same problem can occur if synchronization is aborted by an
I/O error. Therefore, be sure to requeue pending requests when
mirror synchronization is stopped for any reason.
While here, remove some dead code from g_mirror_regular_release().

When a syncid bump is pending, any write to the mirror results in the
updated syncid being written to each component's metadata block. However,
the update was only being performed after the writes to the mirror
componenents were queued. Instead, synchronously update the metadata block
first.

Consider a mirror with two components, m1 and m2. Suppose a hardware error
results in the removal of m2, with m1's genid bumped. Suppose further that
a replacement mirror component m3 is created and synchronized, after which
the system is shut down uncleanly. During a subsequent bootup, if gmirror
tastes m1 and m2 first, m2 will be removed from the mirror because it is
broken, but the mirror will be started without bumping the syncid on m1
because all elements of the mirror are accounted for. Then m3 will be
added to the already-running mirror with the same syncid as m1, so the
components will not be synchronized despite the unclean shutdown.
Handle this scenario by bumping the syncid of healthy components if any
broken mirrors are discovered during mirror startup.

Such errors can occur as the result of a write error or because the disk
backing the mirror element was removed. They result in a generation ID bump
on all active elements of the mirror, so we can safely disconnect the mirror
component rather than destroy it.

for all struct bio you get back from g_{new,alloc}_bio. Temporary
bios that you create on the stack or elsewhere should use this before
first use of the bio, and between uses of the bio. At the moment, it

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

This fixes the problem, when gmirror starts again just after stop.
The problem occurs when gmirror's component has geom label with equal size.
E.g. gpt and gptid have the same size as partition, diskid has the same
size as entire disk. When gmirror's geom has been destroyed, glabel
creates its providers and this initiate retaste.
Now "gmirror destroy" command is available. It destroys geom and also
erases gmirror's metadata.

When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.
The defined now safety requirements are:
- caller should not hold any locks and should be reenterable;
- callee should not depend on GEOM dual-threaded concurency semantics;
- on the way down, if request is unmapped while callee doesn't support it,
the context should be sleepable;
- kernel thread stack usage should be below 50%.
To keep compatibility with GEOM classes not meeting above requirements
new provider and consumer flags added:
- G_CF_DIRECT_SEND -- consumer code meets caller requirements (request);
- G_CF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- consumer code meets callee requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- provider code meets caller requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- provider code meets callee requirements (request).
Capable GEOM class can set them, allowing direct dispatch in cases where
it is safe. If any of requirements are not met, request is queued to
g_up or g_down thread same as before.
Such GEOM classes were reviewed and updated to support direct dispatch:
CONCAT, DEV, DISK, GATE, MD, MIRROR, MULTIPATH, NOP, PART, RAID, STRIPE,
VFS, ZERO, ZFS::VDEV, ZFS::ZVOL, all classes based on g_slice KPI (LABEL,
MAP, FLASHMAP, etc).
To declare direct completion capability disk(9) KPI got new flag equivalent
to G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- DISKFLAG_DIRECT_COMPLETION. da(4) and ada(4) disk
drivers got it set now thanks to earlier CAM locking work.
This change more then twice increases peak block storage performance on
systems with manu CPUs, together with earlier CAM locking changes reaching
more then 1 million IOPS (512 byte raw reads from 16 SATA SSDs on 4 HBAs to
256 user-level threads).

bytes syncronized.
The rationale behind this is the following: for large disks the
percent synchronisation counter ticks too seldom, and monitoring
software (as well as human operator) can't tell whether
synchronisation goes on or one of disks got stuck. On an idle
server one can look into gstat and see whether synchronisation goes
on or not, but on a busy server that won't work. Also, new value
monitored can be differentiated obtaining the synchronisation speed
quite precisely.

we need to pass BIO_DELETE requests down to providers that support
it. Also, we need to announce our support for BIO_DELETE to upper
consumer. This requires:
- In g_mirror_start() return true for "GEOM::candelete" request.
- In g_mirror_init_disk() probe below provider for "GEOM::candelete"
attribute, and mark disk with a flag if it does support BIO_DELETE.
- In g_mirror_register_request() distribute BIO_DELETE requests only
to those disks, that do support it.
Note that we announce "GEOM::candelete" as true unconditionally of
whether we have TRIM-capable media down below or not. This is made
intentionally, because upper consumer (usually UFS) requests the
attribite only once at mount time. And if user ever migrates his
mirror from HDDs to SSDs, then he/she would get TRIM working without
remounting filesystem.
