calls. The unmount starts a write, while vfs_write_suspend() drain
writers. On the other hand, unmount drains busy references, causing
the deadlock.
Add a flag argument to vfs_write_suspend and require the callers of it
to specify VS_SKIP_UNMOUNT flag, when the call is performed not in the
mount path, i.e. the covered vnode is not locked. The suspension is
not attempted if VS_SKIP_UNMOUNT is specified and unmount is in
progress.

This allows setting attributes on tables. One simply does not provide
an index in that case. Otherwise the entry corresponding the index has
the attribute set or unset.
Use this change to fix a relatively longstanding bug in our GPT scheme
that's the result of rev 198097 (relatively harmless) followed by rev
237057 (damaging). The damaging part being that our GPT scheme always
has the active flag set on the PMBR slice. This is in violation with
EFI. Existing EFI implementions for both x86 and ia64 reject the GPT.
As such, GPT disks created by us aren't usable under EFI because of
that.
After this change, GPT disks never have the active flag set on the PMBR
slice. In order to make the GPT disk bootable under some x86 BIOSes,
the reason of rev 198097, one must now set the active attribute on the
gpt table. The kernel will apply this to the PMBR slice For (S)ATA:
gpart set -a active ada0
To fix an existing GPT disk that has the active flag set in the PMBR,
and that does not need the flag, use (again for (S)ATA):
gpart unset -a active ada0
The EBR, MBR & PC98 schemes, which also impement at least 1 attribute,
now check to make sure the entry passed is valid. They do not have
attributes that apply to the table.

requests.
sys/geom/geom_disk.h:
- Added d_delmaxsize which represents the maximum size of individual
device delete requests in bytes. This can be used by devices to
inform geom of their size limitations regarding delete operations
which are generally different from the read / write limits as data
is not usually transferred from the host to physical device.
sys/geom/geom_disk.c:
- Use new d_delmaxsize to calculate the size of chunks passed through to
the underlying strategy during deletes instead of using read / write
optimised values. This defaults to d_maxsize if unset (0).
- Moved d_maxsize default up so it can be used to default d_delmaxsize
sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c:
- Added d_delmaxsize calculations for TRIM and CFA
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:
- Added re-calculation of d_delmaxsize whenever delete_method is set.
- Added kern.cam.da.X.delete_max sysctl which allows the max size for
delete requests to be limited. This is useful in preventing timeouts
on devices who's delete methods are slow. It should be noted that
this limit is reset then the device delete method is changed and
that it can only be lowered not increased from the device max.

size of a delete request sent to the providing device performed by g_dev_ioctl.
This allows the kernel and apps via ioctl e.g. newfs -E to request large LBA
deletes which siginificantly improves performance.
Previously this was hard coded to 65536 sectors, the new default is 262144
which doubles the throughput of deletes on commonly available SSD's.
In tests on a Intel 520 120GB FW: 400i disk it improved the delete throughput
from 1.6GB/s to over 2.6GB/s on a full disk delete such as that done via
newfs -E
For some SSD's where delete time is pretty much constant, no matter what
the request, setting this to 0 will provide significantly better throughput
e.g. Samsung 840 240GB FW DXT07B0Q @ 262144 = 79G/s, @ 0 = 2259G/s

In physio, check if device can handle unmapped IO and pass an
appropriately mapped buffer to the driver strategy routine. The
only driver in the tree that can handle unmapped buffers is one
exposed by GEOM, so mark it as such with the new flag in the
driver cdevsw structure.
This fixes insta-panics on hosts, running dconschat, as /dev/fwmem
is an example of the driver that makes use of physio routine, but
bypasses the g_down thread, where the buffer gets mapped normally.

Use destroy_dev_sched_cb() to not wait for device destruction while holding

do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.
By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.

This will avoid a 0-byte read (in g_read_data()) leading to a panic, if

Suggested by: John-Mark Gurney <jmg@funkthat.com>
Without this, read data is mis-interpreted. This could trigger a panic,
as was the case on one computer where computed "recsize" was zero,
leading to a call to g_read_page() asking for 0 bytes.
write is a disk write request that tells the disk that the buffer
being written must be committed to the media along with any writes
that preceeded it before any future blocks may be written to the drive.
Barrier writes are provided by adding the functions bbarrierwrite
(bwrite with barrier) and babarrierwrite (bawrite with barrier).
Following a bbarrierwrite the client knows that the requested buffer
is on the media. It does not ensure that buffers written before that
buffer are on the media. It only ensure that buffers written before
that buffer will get to the media before any buffers written after
that buffer. A flush command must be sent to the disk to ensure that
all earlier written buffers are on the media.
