mp_maxid or CPU_FOREACH() as appropriate. This fixes a number of places in
the kernel that assumed CPU IDs are dense in [0, mp_ncpus) and would try,
for example, to run tasks on CPUs that did not exist or to allocate too
few buffers on systems with sparse CPU IDs in which there are holes in the
range and mp_maxid > mp_ncpus. Such circumstances generally occur on
systems with SMT, but on which SMT is disabled. This patch restores system
operation at least on POWER8 systems configured in this way.
There are a number of other places in the kernel with potential problems
in these situations, but where sparse CPU IDs are not currently known
to occur, mostly in the ARM machine-dependent code. These will be fixed
in a follow-up commit after the stable/11 branch.

Participation is purely optional. The IFLIB kernel config option is
provided for drivers that want to transition between legacy and iflib
modes of operation. ixl and ixgbe driver conversions will be committed
shortly. We hope to see participation from the Broadcom and maybe
Chelsio drivers in the near future.

new return codes of -1 were mistakenly being considered "true". Callout_stop
now returns -1 to indicate the callout had either already completed or
was not running and 0 to indicate it could not be stopped. Also update
the manual page to make it more consistent no non-zero in the callout_stop
or callout_reset descriptions.
MFC after: 1 Month with associated callout change.
In r256613, taskqueue_enqueue_locked() have been modified to release the
task queue lock before returning. In r276665, taskqueue_drain_all() will
call taskqueue_enqueue_locked() to insert the barrier task into the queue,
but did not reacquire the lock after it but later code expects the lock
still being held (e.g. TQ_SLEEP()).
The barrier task is special and if we release then reacquire the lock,
there would be a small race window where a high priority task could sneak
into the queue. Looking more closely, the race seems to be tolerable but
is undesirable from semantics standpoint.
To solve this, in taskqueue_drain_tq_queue(), instead of directly calling
taskqueue_enqueue_locked(), insert the barrier task directly without
releasing the lock.
This is a more generic version of taskqueue_start_threads_pinned()
which only supports a single cpuid.
This originally came from John Baldwin <jhb@> who implemented it
as part of a push towards NUMA awareness in drivers. I started implementing
something similar for RSS and NUMA, then found he already did it.
I'd like to axe taskqueue_start_threads_pinned() so it doesn't become
part of a longer-term API. (Read: hps@ wants to MFC things, and
if I don't do this soon, he'll MFC what's here. :-)
I have a follow-up commit which converts the intel drivers over
to using the cpuset version of this function, so we can eventually
nuke the the pinned version.

sys/kern_subr_taskqueue.c:
Modify taskqueue_drain_all() processing to use a temporary
"barrier task", rather than rely on a user task that may
be destroyed during taskqueue_drain_all()'s execution. The
barrier task is queued behind all previously queued tasks
and then has its priority elevated so that future tasks
cannot pass it in the queue.
Use a similar barrier scheme to drain threads processing
current tasks. This requires taskqueue_run_locked() to
insert and remove the taskqueue_busy object for the running
thread for every task processed.
share/man/man9/taskqueue.9:
Remove warning about live-lock issues with taskqueue_drain_all()
and indicate that it does not wait for tasks queued after
it begins processing.
This _was_ right, a last minute suggestion and not enough testing makes
Adrian a bad boy.

TODO:
* ask the doc team for help in documenting the new API call.
* add a taskqueue_start_threads_cpuset() method which takes
a cpuset_t - but this may require a bunch of surgery to
bring cpuset_t into scope.
This API has semantics similar to that of taskqueue_drain but acts on
all tasks that might be queued or running on a taskqueue.
A caller must ensure that no new tasks are being enqueued otherwise this
call would be totally meaningless. For example, if the tasks are
enqueued by an interrupt filter then its interrupt must be disabled.

Move tq_enqueue() call out of the queue lock for known handlers (actually
I have found no others in the base system). This reduces queue lock hold
time and congestion spinning under active multithreaded enqueuing.
Remove locking from taskqueue_member(). The list of threads is static
during the taskqueue life cycle, so there is no need to protect it,
taking quite congested lock several more times for each ZFS I/O.
The scope of these callbacks is primarily to support actions that affect the
taskqueue's thread environments. They are entirely optional, and
consequently are introduced as a new API: taskqueue_set_callback().
This interface allows the caller to specify that a taskqueue requires a
callback and optional context pointer for a given callback type.
The callback types included in this commit can be used to register a
constructor and destructor for thread-local storage using osd(9). This
allows a particular taskqueue to define that its threads require a specific
type of TLS, without the need for a specially-orchestrated task-based
mechanism for startup and shutdown in order to accomplish it.
Two callback types are supported at this point:
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_INIT, called by every thread when it starts, prior
to processing any tasks.
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_SHUTDOWN, called by every thread when it exits,
after it has processed its last task but before the taskqueue is
reclaimed.
While I'm here:
- Add two new macros, TQ_ASSERT_LOCKED and TQ_ASSERT_UNLOCKED, and use them
in appropriate locations.
- Fix taskqueue.9 to mention taskqueue_start_threads(), which is a required
interface for all consumers of taskqueue(9).

taskqueue_enqueue_timeout(). Do not rearm the callout if it is
already armed and the ticks is negative. Otherwise rearm it to fire
in abs(ticks) ticks in the future.
The intended use is to call taskqueue_enqueue_timeout() for the given
timeout_task with the same negative ticks argument. As result, the
task is scheduled to execute not further than abs(ticks) ticks in
future, and the consequent enqueues are coalesced until the already
scheduled task is finished.
