A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left
those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this

In this mode you can setup even very small stripe size and you can be
sure that only one I/O request will be send to every disks in stripe.
It consumes some more memory, but if allocation fails, it will fall
back to "ECONOMIC" mode.
It is about 10 times faster for small stripe size than "ECONOMIC" mode
and other RAID0 implementations. It is even recommended to use this
mode and small stripe size, so our requests are always splitted.
One can still use "ECONOMIC" mode by setting kern.geom.stripe.fast to 0.
It is also possible to setup maximum memory which "FAST" mode can consume,
by setting kern.geom.stripe.maxmem from /boot/loader.conf.
When we orphan/wither a provider, an attached geom+consumer could
end up being withered as a result and it may be in front of us in
the normal object scanning order so we need to do multi-pass. On
the other hand, there may be withering stuff we can't get rid off
(yet), so we need to keep track of both the existence of withering
stuff and if there is more we can do at this time.
This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).
g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.
New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))
Manual page cleanups and some comments inside were submitted by
Simon L. Nielsen, who was, as always, very helpful. Thanks!
Now, when trying to mount file system in read-only mode it tries to
opened a device for writting to be able to update to read-write mode

to warn about attempts to sleep in the I/O path. This change pushes the
definition and use of 'mymutex' behind #ifdef WITNESS to avoid the cost
in non-debugging cases. This results in a clear .22% performance win for
512 byte and 1k I/O tests on my SMP test box. Not much, but every bit
counts.
not active GEOM providers, it will result in a kernel panic.
If the GEOM provider or disk goes away before the volume
configuration data gets written to the disk, it will result
in another kernel panic.
o Make sure that the drives specified for volume creation
are active GEOM providers.
o When writing out volume configuration data to associated drives,
make sure that the GEOM provider is active, otherwise continue
to the next drive in the volume.

Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to

A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.

It is a pretty hard to come up with even a theoretical concept of
a device driver which would always fail open and close with ENODEV.
Change the defaults to be nullopen() and nullclose() which simply
does nothing.
Remove explicit initializations to these from the drivers which
already used them.
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.

This prevents for instance GEOM::ioctl requests from reaching a
lower BSDlabel node, which ps@ found would confuse newfs(8).
redundant paths to the same device.
This class reacts to a label in the first sector of the device,
which is created the following way:
# "0123456789abcdef012345..."
# "<----magic-----><-id-...>
echo "GEOM::FOX someid" | dd of=/dev/da0 conv=sync
NB: Since the fact that multiple disk devices are in fact the same
device is not known to GEOM, the geom taste/spoil process cannot
fully catch all corner cases and this module can therefore be
confused if you do the right wrong things.
NB: The disk level drivers need to do the right thing for this to
be useful, and that is not by definition currently the case.

Vastly simplify the logic of the GEOM::BSD class implementation:
Let g_bsd_modify() always take a byte-stream label.
This simplifies all users, except the ioctl's which now have to
convert to a byte-stream first. Their loss.
g_bsd_modify() is called with topology held now, and it returns
with it held.
Always update the md5sum in g_bsd_modify(), otherwise the check
is no use after the first modification of the label. Make the
MD5 over the bytestream version of the label.
Move the rawoffset hack to g_bsd_modify() and remove all the
inram/ondisk conversions.
Don't configure hotspots in g_bsd_modify(), do it in taste instead,
we do not support moving the label to a different location on the
fly anyway.
This passes all current regression tests.
For certain combinations of sectorsize, mediasize and random numbers
(used to define the mapping), a multisector read or write would ignore
some subset of the sectors past the first sector in the request because
those sectors would be mapped past the end of the parent device, and
normal "end of media" truncation would zap that part of the request.
Rev 1.19+1.20 of g_bde_work.c added the check which should have alerted
me to this happening. This commit maps the request correctly and
adds KASSERTS to make sure things stay inside the parent device.
This does not change the on-disk layout of GBDE, there is no need to
backup/restore.
it wrote the full length. The only case where this should be able
to happen is if we try to read/write past the end and the request
is truncated. We obviously should never try to do that, so this
code should never activate.
our key-sector, we would end up returning the read without an error,
despite the fact that the data was not correctly decrypted.
This would result in data corruption on read, but intact data still

Give up the entire bio as soon as we detect a problem.
When we detect a problem, give up the bio by contributing the
remainder with ENOMEM, rather than kicking the bio back right
away.
If we failed on a non-first iteration we previously could end up
modifying fields in the bio after we delivered it. This could
account for memory corruption (none directly reported) on machines
with GBDE.
