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.
disk I/O processing.
The intent is that the disk driver in its hardware interrupt
routine will simply schedule the bio on the task queue with
a routine to finish off whatever needs done.
The g_up thread will then schedule this routine, the likely
outcome of which is a biodone() which queues the bio on
g_up's regular queue where it will be picked up and processed.
Compared to the using the regular taskqueue, this saves one
contextswitch.
Change our scheduling of the g_up and g_down queues to be water-tight,
at the cost of breaking the userland regression test-shims.
Input and ideas from: scottl
idle time.
Statistics now default to "on" and can be turned off with
sysctl kern.geom.collectstats=0
Performance impact of statistics collection is on the order of
800 nsec per consumer/provider set on a 700MHz Athlon.
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.
expected under -current. This is a problem for GEOM because the up/down
threads cannot sleep waiting for memory to become free. The reason they
cannot sleep is that paging things out to disk may be the only way we can
clear up some RAM. Nice catch-22 there.
Implement a rudimentary ENOMEM recovery strategy: If an I/O request
fails with an error code of ENOMEM, schedule it for a retry, and
tell the down-thread to sleep hz/10 to get other parts of the system
a chance to free up some memory, in particular the up-path in GEOM.
All caches should probably start to monitor malloc(9) failures using the new
malloc_last_fail() function, and release when it indicates congestion.

a disklabel modification tries to change an open device, and no
counter-examples exists.
Be less facist about when we can do Setattr, the openmodes of devices
are so loosely managed that the "exclusive" count is almost useless.

most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
test and play with this.
This is not yet production quality and should be run only on dedicated
test boxes.
For people who want to develop transformations for GEOM there exist a
set of shims to run geom in userland (ask phk@freebsd.org).
