It creates very huge provider (41PB) /dev/gzero.
On BIO_READ request it zero-fills bio_data and on BIO_WRITE it does nothing.
You can also set kern.geom.zero.clear sysctl to 0 to do nothing even for
BIO_READ.
I'm using it for performance testing where it is very helpful.

resides on. Fix the special case of the filesystem fragment size not
evenly dividing the size of the provider. Fixing the general case
probably requires better superblock validation (left as an exercise to
the reader).
While we wait for holds to be released, print a list of who holds us
back once per second.
Use the new KPI from GEOM instead of vfs_mount.c calling g_waitidle().
Use the new KPI also from ata.
With ATAmkIII's newbusification, ata could narrowly miss the window
and ad0 would not exist when we tried to mount root.
in BSD and MBR classes, ie. if provider below us uses the same metadata,
don't create labels based on the metadata.
This allows to create labels on geoms with rank != 1 without hacks.

shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.

Pull bufobj_invalbuf() out of vinvalbuf() and make g_vfs call it on
close. This is not yet a generally safe function, but for this very
specific use it is safe. This solves the problem with buffers not
being flushed by unmount or after failed mount attempts.
This flag means "wait for all pending requests before returning to userland".
There are pending events for sure, because we just created new provider and
other classes want to taste it, but we cannot answer on I/O requests until
we're here.
4 mutex operations per I/O requests.
- Use only one mutex to protect both (incoming and outgoing) queue.
As MUTEX_PROFILING(9) shows, there is no big contention for this lock.
- Protect sc_queue_count with queue mutex, instead of doing atomic
operations on it.
- Remove DROP_GIANT()/PICKUP_GIANT() - ggate is marked as MPSAFE and no
Giant there.

After this change, when component is disconnected because of an I/O error,
it will not be connected and synchronized automatically, it will be logged
as broken and skipped. Autosynchronization can occur, when component is
disconnected (on orphan event) and connected again - there were no I/O
error, so there is no need to not connected the component, but when there were
writes while it wasn't connected, it will be synchronized.
This fix cases, when component is disconnected because of I/O error and can be
connected again and again.
- Bump version number.
- Implement backward compatibility mechanism. After this change when metadata in
old version is detected, it is automatically upgraded to the new (current)
version.

while doing g_(read|write)_data() (e.g. BSD). This can cause a deadlock
in MIRROR class. Not sure if this is safe to drop the topology lock in BSD
class, so change the code in MIRROR class to avoid this deadlock.
Keeping consumers open when device is closed is very hard. We need to
open consumers sometimes to update metadata, etc.
Many hacks was introduced in the past to made it possible. You cannot
be sure that you can open consumer for writing always, even if you think
it should be allowed. If one of the mirror components is for example da0
and you try to open it, you can get EPERM when da0s1 is opened for reading
(because BSD class opens consumers (da0) with an extra 'e' bit set).
Waiting for the events queue to be empty may do the trick, but it makes
code much uglier (as you cannot always call g_waitidle()), it doesn't
solve all edge cases and it can introduce deadlocks if there are events
in the queue that wait for gmirror.
I removed those hacks. Now all consumers are open r1w1e1 always, even if
device is closed. Maybe it is less clean from GEOM perspective, but simpify
code a lot and make it much more reliable.
The only issue was retaste event which is sent when we close consumers
opened for writing. I ignore retaste event by not detaching consumer
immediately (so retaste event is not send to my class) and sending event
right after it to detach and destroy consumer.

o Reject a GPT partition table if it's not preceeded by a PMBR.
There's no need to preserve the MBR partitioning anymore as GPT
is mature and with the first bullet extending the applicability
of GPT, it's better to be a bit more strict.
because we know it then and we need it when inserting a component which
wasn't destroyed while device was running.

observations lead me to believe that the convetion for pc98 boot
loaders is to have a jump unstruction, followed by a string, followed
by code. The jump usually doesn't have a nop after it and usually the
string is NUL terminated, but Grub/98 breaks both of these rules.
# I looked for, but failed to find the Minux boot blocks for PC-9801 port.
512. If I had an audio cdrom in my cd player when I booted my system,
I'd get a panic from geom because you can't read 8192 bytes from an
audio cdrom.
Remove XXX comment about IPL1 and replace it with some information
from my soon to be published web page on the pc98 disk layout. The
IPL1 test was the result of an observation of a disk with FreeBSD's
boot0 program. It was testing part of an area what appears to be
reserved for a boot loader name, which comes after a jump over this
area. I don't yet know if it is required to be any specific jump
instruction, or if the destination has to be location 11. [1]
[1] FreeBSD Press No. 13, page 115, poorly translated by myself. The
picture there shows offset 8 as the destination of the jump, but
FreeBSD's boot0 program has three padding NULs after the IPL1 name and
uses a 16-bit 'jmp' instruction.
correct open/close behaviour of filesystems:
When an ioctl to modify the MBR arrives, we cannot take for granted that
we have the consumer open.
The symptom is that one cannot run 'boot0cfg -s2 /dev/ad0' in single-user
mode because / is the only open partition in only open r1w0e1.
If it is not, we attempt to increase the write count by one and
decrease it again afterwards.
Presumably most if not all other slices suffer from the same problem.
