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.

The existing algorithm selects a preferred leaf vdev based on offset of the zio
request modulo the number of members in the mirror. It assumes the devices are
of equal performance and that spreading the requests randomly over both drives
will be sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the leaf vdevs
being under utilized.
The new algorithm takes into the following additional factors:
* Load of the vdevs (number outstanding I/O requests)
* The locality of last queued I/O vs the new I/O request.
Within the locality calculation additional knowledge about the underlying vdev
is considered such as; is the device backing the vdev a rotating media device.
This results in performance increases across the board as well as significant
increases for predominantly streaming loads and for configurations which don't
have evenly performing devices.
The following are results from a setup with 3 Way Mirror with 2 x HD's and
1 x SSD from a basic test running multiple parrallel dd's.

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).

reduce lock congestion and improve SMP scalability of the SCSI/ATA stack,
preparing the ground for the coming next GEOM direct dispatch support.
Replace big per-SIM locks with bunch of smaller ones:
- per-LUN locks to protect device and peripheral drivers state;
- per-target locks to protect list of LUNs on target;
- per-bus locks to protect reference counting;
- per-send queue locks to protect queue of CCBs to be sent;
- per-done queue locks to protect queue of completed CCBs;
- remaining per-SIM locks now protect only HBA driver internals.
While holding LUN lock it is allowed (while not recommended for performance
reasons) to take SIM lock. The opposite acquisition order is forbidden.
All the other locks are leaf locks, that can be taken anywhere, but should
not be cascaded. Many functions, such as: xpt_action(), xpt_done(),
xpt_async(), xpt_create_path(), etc. are no longer require (but allow) SIM
lock to be held.
To keep compatibility and solve cases where SIM lock can't be dropped, all
xpt_async() calls in addition to xpt_done() calls are queued to completion
threads for async processing in clean environment without SIM lock held.
Instead of single CAM SWI thread, used for commands completion processing
before, use multiple (depending on number of CPUs) threads. Load balanced
between them using "hash" of the device B:T:L address.
HBA drivers that can drop SIM lock during completion processing and have
sufficient number of completion threads to efficiently scale to multiple
CPUs can use new function xpt_done_direct() to avoid extra context switch.
Make ahci(4) driver to use this mechanism depending on hardware setup.

While these operations are not really needed otherwise, at least for SCSI
they may cause extra errors if some other initiator holds write exclusive

It includes three parts:
1) Modifications to CAM to detect media media changes and report them to
disk(9) layer. For modern SATA (and potentially UAS) devices it utilizes
Asynchronous Notification mechanism to receive events from hardware.
Active polling with TEST UNIT READY commands with 3 seconds period is used
for incapable hardware. After that both CD and DA drivers work the same way,
detecting two conditions: "NOT READY: Medium not present" after medium was
detected previously, and "UNIT ATTENTION: Not ready to ready change, medium
may have changed". First one reported to disk(9) as media removal, second
as media insert/change. To reliably receive second event new
AC_UNIT_ATTENTION async added to make UAs broadcasted to all periphs by
generic error handling code in cam_periph_error().
2) Modifications to GEOM core to handle media remove and change events.
Media removal handled by spoiling all consumers attached to the provider.
Media change event also schedules provider retaste after spoiling to probe
new media. New flag G_CF_ORPHAN was added to consumers to reflect that
consumer is in process of destruction. It allows retaste to create new
geom instance of the same class, while previous one is still dying.
3) Modifications to some GEOM classes: DEV -- to report media change
events to devd; VFS -- to handle spoiling same as orphan to prevent
accessing replaced media. PART class already handles spoiling alike to
