shown that it is not useful.
Rename the relative count g_access_rel() function to g_access(), only
the name has changed.
Change all g_access_rel() calls in our CVS tree to call g_access() instead.
Add an #ifndef BURN_BRIDGES #define of g_access_rel() for source
code compatibility.
This replaces the current ioctl processing with a direct call path
from geom_dev() where the ioctl arrives (from SPECFS) to any directly
connected GEOM class.
The inverse of the above is no longer supported. This is the
situation were you have one or more intervening GEOM classes, for
instance a BSDlabel on top of a MBR or PC98. If you want to issue
MBR or PC98 specific ioctls, you will need to issue them on a MBR
or PC98 providers.
This paves the way for inviting CD's, FD's and other special cases
inside GEOM.
hinge on the "verb" parameter which the class gets to interpret as
it sees fit.
Move the entire request into the kernel and move changed parameters
back when done.
(If there is a legitimate need to correctly encode and pack a
disklabel with an invalid checksum custom tools can be built for
that.)
Make bsd_disklabel_le_dec() validate the magics, number of partitions
(against a new parameter) and the checksum.
Vastly simplify the logic of the GEOM::BSD class implementation:
Let g_bsd_modify() always take a byte-stream label.
This simplifies all users, except the ioctl's which now have to
convert to a byte-stream first. Their loss.
g_bsd_modify() is called with topology held now, and it returns
with it held.
Always update the md5sum in g_bsd_modify(), otherwise the check
is no use after the first modification of the label. Make the
MD5 over the bytestream version of the label.
Move the rawoffset hack to g_bsd_modify() and remove all the
inram/ondisk conversions.
Don't configure hotspots in g_bsd_modify(), do it in taste instead,
we do not support moving the label to a different location on the
fly anyway.
This passes all current regression tests.
test is built to test GEOM as running in the kernel.
This commit is basically "unifdef -D_KERNEL" to remove the mainly #include
related code to support the userland-harness.
event posting functions varargs to fill these.
Attribute g_call_me() to appropriate g_geom's where necessary.
Add a flag argument to g_call_me() methods which will be used to signal
cancellation of events in the future.
This commit should be a no-op.
labeled disk.
This is complicated by the fact that BBSIZE is greater than the
PAGE_SIZE limit ioctl inflicts on arguments which are automatically
copied in.
As long as we don't need access to userland memory (copyin/out) we
can deal with the ioctl using g_callme() which executes it from the
GEOM event thread.
Once we need copyin/out, we need to return the bio with EDIRIOCTL
in order to make geom_dev call us back in the original process context
where copyin will work.
Unfortunately, that results in us getting called with Giant, so
we have to DROP_GIANT/PICKUP_GIANT around the code where we diddle
GEOMs internals.
Sometimes you just can't win...
... But it does make geom_bsd.c an almost complete example of the
GEOM beastiarium.
some trick is necessary to prevent further BSD geoms from attaching to
that. Our old trick was to make sure we don't attach to a geom from
the "BSD" class, but this doesn't work if an intermediary geom obscures
this fact. Instead, calculate the MD5 checksum of the label we target
and ask if anybody below us loves that label. If they do we don't.

don't take the detour over the I/O path to discover them using getattr(),
we can just pick them out directly.
Do note though, that for now they are only valid after the first open
of the underlying disk device due compatibility with the old disk_create()
API. This will change in the future so they will always be valid.
