At least some IBM drives support the Standby Condition Timer (i. e.
they allow for an automatic spindown).
Update copyright for 2001. I don't want to insert my name for just
one mode page definition, do people think that `The FreeBSD Project'
is OK?
shm_deallocate_segment because shmexit_myhook calls it, and the latter
should always be called with it already held.

vinum_mirror, vinum_raid4, vinum_raid5.
Correct typos.
Show new output of the 'list' and 'ls' commands.
Update examples to use 279 kB stripe sizes instead of 256 kB.
Clarify some text.
Remove the description of the 'invalid ioctl' messages which now no
longer occur.
Add a description of the 'retryerrors' keyword.
to avoid including the kernel headers.
Move a number of definitions of userland functions from
dev/vinum/vinumext.h.

This commit is the first of a general cleanup of the header files..
It won't be enough to make bde happy.
Remove vinum_perror and associated DEVBUG definition.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Remove vinum_perror.
main: Check kernel version with userland version in _vinum_conf. This
field is a constant which gets incremented every time the
kernel-userland interface changes. This enables vinum(8) to
check for the correct kernel version and to produce a useful
message if it doesn't match. For previous versions, which don't
have a version number, the length of the structure is different,
so we can recognize it via the EINVAL return from ioctl.
Supply count parameter to tokenize().
Change method of recognizing active devfs: replace devfs_is_active
with (complemented) no_devfs.
make_devices: remove references to devfs. If we're running devfs, we
don't need to call make_devices at all.
vinum_makedev (user command 'makedev'): Print a warning message if
devfs is running and don't do anything else.
Remove vinum_perror.
Modify 'list' brief printout to fit in 80 columns.
Modify 'ls' brief printout to show the drive to which the subdisk
before instead of the plex offset, which is usually less interesting.
The verbose printout remains unchanged.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Move checkupdates here to simplify header file mess.
Remove 'vinum_perror'.
Only call make_devices if we're not running devfs.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Update help list, which was lagging behind reality.
checkupdates: move to list.c to simplify header file mess.
vinum_stripe, vinum_mirror, vinum_raid4, vinum_raid5: change the
default stripe size from 256 k to 279 k, thus hopefully spreading
superblocks more evenly.

This enables vinum(8) to check for the correct kernel version and to

Move the definitions of struct drive, sd, plex and volume to
vinumobj.h.
Add a new debug flag, DEBUG_LOCKREQS, which logs only lock requests.
with more than one plex, the data will be accessed
multiple times. During this time, userland code could
potentially modify the buffer, thus causing data
corruption. In the case of a multi-plexed volume this
might be cosmetic, but in the case of a RAID-[45] plex it
can cause severe data corruption which only becomes
evident after a drive failure. Avoid this situation by
making a copy of the data buffer before using it.
Note that this solution does not guarantee any particular
content of the buffer, just that it remains unchanged for
the duration of the request.
Suggested by: alfred
Use this instead of DEBUG_LASTREQS to decide whether to log lock
requests.
MFS:
vinumlock: Catch a potential race condition where one process is
waiting for a lock, and between the time it is woken and
it retries the lock, another process gets it and places it
in the first entry in the table.
This problem has not been observed, but it's possible, and
it's easy enough to fix.
Submitted by: tegge
vinumunlock: Catch a real bug capable of hanging a system. When
releasing a lock, vinumunlock() called wakeup_one. This
caused wakeups to sometimes get lost. After due
consideration, we think that this is due to the fact that
you can't guarantee that some other process is also
waiting on the same address. This makes wakeup_one a
very dangerous function to use.
Requested by: bde
Add retryerrors keyword.
vinum_scandisk: Print a different message if an inadvertent start
command did not find any additional drives. The previous message "no
drives found" confused and worried many people.
MFS:
vinum_open: Recognize Mylex devices as storage devices.
In case of error, check the VF_RETRYERRORS flag in the subdisk and
don't take the subdisk down if it's set, just retry the I/O.
Requested by: peter
If the buffer has been copied (XFR_COPYBUF), release the copied
buffer when the I/O completes.

Move debug definitions from vinumhdr.h.
Create a new struct rangelockinfo. In revision 1.21 of vinumlock.c,
the plex info was removed from struct rangelock, since it wasn't
needed there. It *is* needed for trace information, however, so use
struct rangelockinfo for that.
