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.
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.
skip those. This handles the Protective MBR (PMBR) which consists
of a single partition of type 0xEE that covers the whole disk and
as such protects the GPT partitioning. We allow other partitions to
be present besides partitions of type 0xEE and as such interpret
partition type 0xEE as a "hands-off" partition only.
While here, fix g_mbrext_dumpconf to test if indent is NULL and
dump the data in a form that libdisk can grok. Change the logic
in g_mbr_dumpconf to match that of g_mbrext_dumpconf. This does
not change the output, but prevents a NULL-pointer dereference
when indent == NULL && pp == NULL.
This is not quite the set of information I would want, but the tree where
I have the "correct" version is messed up with conflicts.

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.

This will eventually replace g_slice_addslice() which gets changed from
grabbing topology to requing it in this commit as well.

is currently conditional on both the GEOM and GEOM_GPT options to
avoid getting GPT by default and having the MBR and GPT classes
clash.
The correct behaviour of the MBR class would be to back-off (reject)
a MBR if it's a Protective MBR (a MBR with a single partition of type
0xEE that spans the whole disk (as far as the MBR is concerned).
The correct behaviour if the GPT class would be to back-off (reject)
a GPT if there's a MBR that's not a Protective MBR.
At this stage it's inconvenient to destroy a good MBR when working
with GPTs that it's more convenient to have the MBR class back-off
when it detects the GPT signature on disk and have the GPT class
ignore the MBR.
In sys/gpt.h UUIDs (GUIDs) for the following FreeBSD partitions
have been defined:
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD
FreeBSD slice with disklabel. This is the equivalent of
the well-known FreeBSD MBR partition type.
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD_{SWAP|UFS|UFS2|VINUM}
FreeBSD partitions in the context of disklabel. This is
speculating on the idea to use the GPT to hold partitions
instead if slices and removing the fixed (and low) limits
we have on the number of partitions.
This commit lacks a GPT image for the regression suite.
the relevant classes.
Some methods may implement various "magic spaces", this is reserved
or magic areas on the disk, set a side for various and sundry purposes.
A good example is the BSD disklabel and boot code on i386 which occupies
a total of four magic spaces: boot1, the disklabel, the padding behind
the disklabel and boot2. The reason we don't simply tell people to
write the appropriate stuff on the underlying device is that (some of)
the magic spaces might be real-time modifiable. It is for instance
possible to change a disklabel while partitions are open, provided
the open partitions do not get trampled in the process.
