Technically read requests can be executed in any order or simultaneously
since they are not changing any data. But ZFS prefetcher goes crasy when
it receives consecutive requests from different threads. Since prefetcher
works on level of separate blocks, instead of two consecutive 128K requests
it may receive 32 8K requests in mixed order.
This patch is more workaround then a real fix, and it does not fix all of
prefetcher problems, but it improves sequential read speed by 3-4x times
in some configurations. On the other side it may hurt performance if
some backing store has no prefetch, that is why it is disabled by default

Testing shown that both original queued design with separate task queue,

arrives just after the victim, the last one may not be in the ooa_queue

Unlike original queued implementation, use same queue for all SCSI and
TASK requests from the same initiator. That avoids races between them:
task functions are always executed in proper time, relatively to other
requests.
If port passed negative IID value, the function will try to allocate IID

teardown, and new port creation during `service ctld restart`.
Close it by returning iSCSI port internal state, that allows to identify
dying ports, which should not be counted as existing, from really alive.
Instead make ports provide wanted port and target IDs, and LUNs provide
wanted LUN IDs. After that core Device ID VPD code only had to link all
of them together and add relative port and port group numbers.
LUN ID for iSCSI LUNs no longer created by CTL, but by ctld, and passed
to CTL as "scsiname" LUN option. This makes LUNs to report the same set
of IDs, independently from the port through which it is accessed, as
required by SCSI specifications.
Having single port for all iSCSI connections makes problematic implementing
some more advanced SCSI functionality in CTL, that require proper ports
enumeration and identification.
This change extends CTL iSCSI API, making ctld daemon to control list of
iSCSI ports in CTL. When new target is defined in config fine, ctld will
create respective port in CTL. When target is removed -- port will be
also removed after all active commands through that port properly aborted.
This change require ctld to be rebuilt to match the kernel.
As a minor side effect, this allows to have iSCSI targets without LUNs.
While that may look odd and not very useful, that is not incorrect.
Before iSCSI implementation CTL had no knowledge about frontend drivers,
it had only frontends, which really were ports (alike to LUNs, if comparing
to backends). But iSCSI added there ioctl() method, which does not belong
to frontend as a port, but belongs to a frontend driver.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL

dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.

- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is

one could argue that the higher levels should coalesce the trims,
that's not done today, so some optimization at this level is needed.

Make it really work for native FreeBSD programs. Before this it was broken
for years due to different number of pointer dereferences in Linux and
FreeBSD IOCTL paths, permanently returning errors to FreeBSD programs.
This change breaks the driver FreeBSD IOCTL ABI, making it more strict,
but since it was not working any way -- who bother.
Add shims for 32-bit programs on 64-bit host, translating the argument
of the SG_IO IOCTL for both FreeBSD and Linux ABIs.
With this change I was able to run 32-bit Linux sg3_utils tools and simple
32 and 64-bit FreeBSD test tools on both 32 and 64-bit FreeBSD systems.

Nobody yet reported disk supporting I/Os less then our MAXPHYS value, but
since we any way have code to read Block Limits VPD page, that is easy.

Instead of rereading VPD pages on every device open, do it only on initial
device probe, and in cases when device reported via UNIT ATTENTIONs that
something has changed. Capacity is still rereaded on every open because
it is more critical for operation and more probable to change in run time.
On my tests with Intel 530 SSDs on mps(4) HBA this change reduces time
GEOM needs to retaste the device (that includes few open/close cycles)
from ~150ms to ~30ms.

Instead of allocating up to 16MB or RAM at once to handle whole I/O,
allocate up to 1MB at a time, but do multiple ctl_datamove() and storage
I/Os if needed.
Unfortunately we can't check range collisions for UNMAP commands alike
to writes, because they include multiple ranges, which are also passed
in data block, not in CDB. As result, UNMAP commands have to be treated
as colliding with any other command accessing the media.
From the other side all UNMAPs are equal (we don't support ANCHOR flag),
so we can execute several UNMAPs same time.
This code was heavily broken few months ago during CAM locking changes.
Fixing it would require almost complete rewrite. Since there are no
known devices on market using this interface younger then ~15 years, and
they are CD, not even DVD, I don't see much reason to rewrite it.
This change does not mean those devices won't work. They will just work
slower due to inefficient disks load/unload schedule if several LUNs
accessed same time.
