cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.

embedded flash stores.
Some devices - notably those with uboot - don't have an
explicit partition table (eg like Redboot's FIS.)
geom_map thus provides an easy way to export the hard-coded
flash layout as geom providers for use by filesystems and
other tools.
It also includes a "search" function which allows for
dynamic creation of partition layouts where the device only
has a single hard-coded partition. For example, if
there is a "kernel+rootfs" partition, a single image can
be created which appends the rootfs after the kernel with
an appropriate search string. geom_map can be told to
search for said search string and create a partition
beginning after it.

g_io_deliver(). In such case it increases 'pace' counter on each ENOMEM and
reschedules the request. The 'pace' counter is decreased for each request going
down, but until 'pace' is greater than zero, GEOM will handle at most 10
requests per second. For GEOM GATE users that are proxy to local GEOM providers
(like ggatel(8) and HAST) we can end up with almost permanent slow down of GEOM
down queue. This is because once we reach GEOM GATE queue limit, we return
ENOMEM to the GEOM. This means that we have, eg. 1024 I/O requests in the GEOM
GATE queue. To make room in the queue and stop returning ENOMEM we need to
proceed the requests of course, but those requests are handled by userland
daemons that handle them by reading/writing also from/to local GEOM providers.
For example with HAST, a new requests comes to /dev/hast/data, which is GEOM
GATE provider. GEOM GATE passes the request to hastd(8) and hastd(8)
reads/writes from/to /dev/da0. Once we reach GEOM GATE queue limit, to free up
a slot in GEOM GATE queue, hastd(8) has to read/write from/to /dev/da0, but
this request will also be very slow, because GEOM now slows down all the
requests. We end up with full queue that we can unload at the speed of 10
requests per second. This simply looks like a deadlock.
Fix it by allowing userland daemons that work with both GEOM GATE and local
GEOM providers to specify unlimited queue size, so GEOM GATE will never return
ENOMEM to the GEOM.

does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.
Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.
Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.
For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.

The algorithm is supposed to work as follows:
in order to prevent starvation, when a new client starts being served we
record the start time and reset the counter of bytes served.
We then switch to a new client after a certain amount of time or bytes,
even if the current one still has pending requests.
To avoid charging a new client the time of the first seek,
we start counting time when the first request is served.
Unfortunately a bug in the previous version of the code failed
to set the start time in certain cases, resulting in some processes
exceeding their timeslice.
The fix (in this patch) is trivial, though it took a while to find

information that device is already suspended or that device is using
one-time key and suspend is not supported.
- 'geli suspend -a' silently skips devices that use one-time key, this is fine,
but because we log which device were suspended on the console, log also which
devices were skipped.
Before this change if you wanted to suspend your laptop and be sure that your
encryption keys are safe, you had to stop all processes that use file system
stored on encrypted device, unmount the file system and detach geli provider.
This isn't very handy. If you are a lucky user of a laptop where suspend/resume
actually works with FreeBSD (I'm not!) you most likely want to suspend your
laptop, because you don't want to start everything over again when you turn
your laptop back on.
And this is where geli suspend/resume steps in. When you execute:
# geli suspend -a
geli will wait for all in-flight I/O requests, suspend new I/O requests, remove
all geli sensitive data from the kernel memory (like encryption keys) and will
wait for either 'geli resume' or 'geli detach'.
Now with no keys in memory you can suspend your laptop without stopping any
processes or unmounting any file systems.
When you resume your laptop you have to resume geli devices using 'geli resume'
command. You need to provide your passphrase, etc. again so the keys can be
restored and suspended I/O requests released.
Of course you need to remember that 'geli suspend' won't clear file system
cache and other places where data from your geli-encrypted file system might be
present. But to get rid of those stopping processes and unmounting file system
won't help either - you have to turn your laptop off. Be warned.
Also note, that suspending geli device which contains file system with geli
utility (or anything used by 'geli resume') is not very good idea, as you won't
be able to resume it - when you execute geli(8), the kernel will try to read it
and this read I/O request will be suspended.

Add the BIO_ORDERED flag for struct bio and update bio clients to use it.
The barrier semantics of bioq_insert_tail() were broken in two ways:
o In bioq_disksort(), an added bio could be inserted at the head of
the queue, even when a barrier was present, if the sort key for
the new entry was less than that of the last queued barrier bio.
o The last_offset used to generate the sort key for newly queued bios
did not stay at the position of the barrier until either the
barrier was de-queued, or a new barrier (which updates last_offset)
was queued. When a barrier is in effect, we know that the disk
will pass through the barrier position just before the
"blocked bios" are released, so using the barrier's offset for
last_offset is the optimal choice.

sys/kern/subr_disk.c:
o Update last_offset in bioq_insert_tail().
o Only update last_offset in bioq_remove() if the removed bio is
at the head of the queue (typically due to a call via
bioq_takefirst()) and no barrier is active.
o In bioq_disksort(), if we have a barrier (insert_point is non-NULL),
set prev to the barrier and cur to it's next element. Now that
last_offset is kept at the barrier position, this change isn't
strictly necessary, but since we have to take a decision branch
anyway, it does avoid one, no-op, loop iteration in the while
loop that immediately follows.
o In bioq_disksort(), bypass the normal sort for bios with the
BIO_ORDERED attribute and instead insert them into the queue
with bioq_insert_tail(). bioq_insert_tail() not only gives
the desired command order during insertion, but also provides
barrier semantics so that commands disksorted in the future
cannot pass the just enqueued transaction.

The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

the VFS. Now all the VFS_* functions and relating parts don't want the
context as long as it always refers to curthread.
In some points, in particular when dealing with VOPs and functions living
in the same namespace (eg. vflush) which still need to be converted,
pass curthread explicitly in order to retain the old behaviour.
Such loose ends will be fixed ASAP.
While here fix a bug: now, UFS_EXTATTR can be compiled alone without the
UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART option.
VFS KPI is heavilly changed by this commit so thirdy parts modules needs
to be recompiled. Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such
situation.
This is necessary for two reasons:
1) In order to avoid collisions with the use of a BIOs flags set by a consumer
or a provider
2) Because GV_BIO_DONE was used to mark a BIO as done, not enough flags was
available, so the consumer flags of a BIO had to be misused in order to
support enough flags. The new queue makes it possible to recycle the
GV_BIO_DONE flag into GV_BIO_GROW.
As a consequence, gvinum will now work with any other GEOM class under it or
on top of it.
- Use bio_pflags for storing internal flags on downgoing BIOs, as the requests
appear to come from a consumer of a gvinum volume. Use bio_cflags only for
cloned BIOs.
- Move gv_post_bio to be used internally for maintenance requests.
- Remove some cases where flags where set without need.

as they do not really relate and to prepare for an additional queue to be
covered by the BIO queue mutex.
- Implement wrappers for fetching the next element from the event queue as well
as for putting a new element into the BIO queue.

o PC98 uses 32-bit block numbers. Limit the scheme to 2^32-1
blocks when the media is larger. The 32-bit block numbers
are implicit (16-bit cylinder * 8-bit head * 8-bit sector).
o EBR uses 32-bit block numbers. Limit the scheme to 2^32-1
blocks when the media is larger.
o Calculate the number of entries based on the rounded media
size, rather than the raw media size.
The work have been under testing and fixing since then, and it is mature enough
to be put into HEAD for further testing.
A lot have changed in this time, and here are the most important:
- Gvinum now uses one single workerthread instead of one thread for each
volume and each plex. The reason for this is that the previous scheme was
very complex, and was the cause of many of the bugs discovered in gvinum.
Instead, gvinum now uses one worker thread with an event queue, quite
similar to what used in gmirror.
- The rebuild/grow/initialize/parity check routines no longer runs in
separate threads, but are run as regular I/O requests with special flags.
This made it easier to support mounted growing and parity rebuild.
- Support for growing striped and raid5-plexes, meaning that one can extend the
volumes for these plex types in addition to the concat type. Also works while
the volume is mounted.
- Implementation of many of the missing commands from the old vinum:
attach/detach, start (was partially implemented), stop (was partially
implemented), concat, mirror, stripe, raid5 (shortcuts for creating volumes
with one plex of these organizations).
- The parity check and rebuild no longer goes between userland/kernel, meaning
that the gvinum command will not stay and wait forever for the rebuild to
finish. You can instead watch the status with the list command.
- Many problems with gvinum have been reported since 5.x, and some has been hard
to fix due to the complicated architecture. Hopefully, it should be more
stable and better handle edge cases that previously made gvinum crash.
- Failed drives no longer disappears entirely, but now leave behind a dummy
drive that makes sure the original state is not forgotten in case the system
is rebooted between drive failures/swaps.
- Update manpage to reflect new commands and extend it with some examples.

"raw" names. While there, change the formatting of extended MSDOS partitions
so that the dot (".") is not used to separate two numbers (which kind of
looks like the whole is a decimal number). Use "+" instead, which also
hints that the second part of the name is the offset from the start of
the partition in the first part of the name. Also change the offset from
decimal to hexadecimal notation, simply for aesthetic reasons and future
compatibility.
GEOM_PART is the default in 8-CURRENT but not yet in 7-STABLE so this
changeset can be MFC-ed without causing major problems from the second
part.

o fix match macro so we now recognize we want to merge FIS dir with RedBoot
config parameters even if we don't actually do it
properly. Otherwise the minimum of 1 is used and you can
only insert a single partition/slice and only at sector
0 (index 1).
o When adding a partition/slice, recalculate the index after
the start and size of the partition/slice are adjusted to
make them a multiple of the track size. Since the precheck
method sets the index based on the start of the partition
as provided by the user, we know that we're off by at most
1 and adjusting the index is safe.
1. Extend geom_dev by having it create the symlink (i.e. call
make_dev_alias) based on the DIOCGPROVIDERALIAS ioctl.
In this way the functionaility is generic and thus usable
by any geom/provider.
2. Have g_part handle said ioctl through the devalias method,
so that it's under control of the scheme itself. By design
the alias will not be created for newly added partitions.
