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.
have to examine the stats structure to tell if we have outstanding I/O
requests.
Making them u_int improves the chance of atomic updates to them,
but risks roll-over. Since the only interesting property is if
they are equal or not, this is not an issue.
and d_stripesisze;
Introduce si_stripesize and si_stripeoffset in struct cdev so we
can make the visible to clustering code.
Add stripesize and stripeoffset to providers.
DTRT with stripesize and stripeoffset in various places in GEOM.
Insted of embedding a struct g_stat in consumers and providers, merely
include a pointer.
Remove a couple of <sys/time.h> includes now unneeded.
Add a special allocator for struct g_stat. This allocator will allocate
entire pages and hand out g_stat functions from there. The "id" field
indicates free/used status.
Add "/dev/geom.stats" device driver whic exports the pages from the
allocator to userland with mmap(2) in read-only mode.
This mmap(2) interface should be considered a non-public interface and
the functions in libgeom (not yet committed) should be used to access
the statistics data.
Add debug.sizeof.g_stat sysctl.
Set the id field of the g_stat when we create consumers and providers.
Remove biocount from consumer, we will use the counters in the g_stat
structure instead. Replace one field which will need to be atomically
manipulated with two fields which will not (stat.nop and stat.nend).
Change add companion field to bio_children: bio_inbed for the exact
same reason.
Don't output the biocount in the confdot output.
Fix KASSERT in g_io_request().
Add sysctl kern.geom.collectstats defaulting to off.
Collect the following raw statistics conditioned on this sysctl:
for each consumer and provider {
total number of operations started.
total number of operations completed.
time last operation completed.
sum of idle-time.
for each of BIO_READ, BIO_WRITE and BIO_DELETE {
number of operations completed.
number of bytes completed.
number of ENOMEM errors.
number of other errors.
sum of transaction time.
}
}
API for getting hold of these statistics data not included yet.
and therefore we need a way for ioctl handlers to run in that thread
in GEOM. Rather than invent a complicated registration system to
recognize which ioctl handler to use for a given ioctl, we still
schedule all ioctls down the tree as bio transactions but add a
special return code that means "call me directly" and have the
geom_dev layer do that.
Use this for all ioctls that make it as far as a diskdriver to
avoid any backwards compatibility problems.

to be performed in the event-thread.
To do this, we need to lock the eventlist with g_eventlock (nee g_doorlock),
since g_call_me() being called from the UP/DOWN paths will not be able to
aquire g_topology_lock.
This also means that for now these events are not referenced on any
particular consumer/provider/geom.
For UP/DOWN path use, this will not become a problem since the access()
function will make sure we drain any bio's before we dismantle.

them visible from userland, if need be.
I wish that the C language contained this as part of struct definintions,
but failing that, I would settle for an agreed upon set of functions for
packing/unpacking integers in various sizes from byte-streams which may
have unfriendly alignment.
This really belongs in <sys/endian.h> I guess.
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.

Notice that if the device on which the dump is set is destroyed for
any reason, the dump setting is lost. This in particular will
happen in the case of spoilage. For instance if you set dump on
ad0s1b and open ad0 for writing, ad0s* will be spoilt and the dump
setting lost. See geom(4) for more about spoiling.

This is not yet production quality and should be run only on dedicated

set of shims to run geom in userland (ask phk@freebsd.org).
