The mirror metadata fields contain string buffers and pad bytes, neither
were being zeroed before metadata was written to disk. Also, the
metadata structure is smaller than the sector size, and in one case
gmirror was failing to zero-fill the full buffer before writing.
Fix these problems by pre-zeroing the metadata structure and the sector
buffer.

Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.
Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.
Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

Geom_mirror initialization occurs in spurts and the present of a
non-destroyed g_mirror softc does not always indicate that the geom has
launched (i.e., has an sc_provider).
Some gmirror(8) commands (via g_mirror_ctl) depend on a g_mirror's
sc_provider (insert and resize). For those commands, g_mirror_ctl is
modified to sleep-poll in an interruptible way until the target geom is
either launched or destroyed.

Re-apply r341665 with format strings fixed.
If we happen to taste a stale mirror component first, don't reject valid,
newer components that have differing metadata from the stale component
(during STARTING). Instead, update our view of the most recent metadata as
we taste components.
Like mediasize beforehand, remove some checks from g_mirror_check_metadata
which would evict valid components due to metadata that can change over a
mirror's lifetime. g_mirror_check_metadata is invoked long before we check
genid/syncid and decide which component(s) are newest and whether or not we
have quorum.
Before checking if we can enter RUNNING (i.e., we have quorum) after a NEW
component is added, first remove any known stale or inconsistent disks from
the mirrorset, rather than removing them *after* deciding we have quorum.
Check if we have quorum after removing these components.
Additionally, add a knob, kern.geom.mirror.launch_mirror_before_timeout, to
force gmirrors to wait out the full timeout (kern.geom.mirror.timeout)
before transitioning from STARTING to RUNNING. This is a kludge to help
ensure all eligible, boot-time available mirror components are tasted before
RUNNING a gmirror.

GEOM ELI may double ask the password during boot. Once at loader time, and
once at init time.
This happens due a module loading bug. By default GEOM ELI caches the
password in the kernel, but without the MODULE_VERSION annotation, the
kernel loads over the kernel module, even if the GEOM ELI was compiled into
the kernel. In this case, the newly loaded module
purges/invalidates/overwrites the GEOM ELI's password cache, which causes
the double asking.

Since synchronization reads are performed by submitting a request to

- BIO_FLUSH requests were dispatched to the disks directly from
g_mirror_start() rather than going through the mirror's I/O request
queue, so they could have been reordered with preceding writes.
Address this by processing such requests from the queue, avoiding
direct dispatch.
- Handling for collisions with synchronization requests was too
fine-grained and could cause reordering of writes. In particular,
BIO_ORDERED was not being honoured. Address this by effectively
freezing the request queue any time a collision with a synchronization
request occurs. The queue is unfrozen once the collision with the
first frozen request is over.
- The above-mentioned collision handling allowed reads to jump ahead
of writes to the same offset. Address this by freezing all request
types when a collision occurs, not just BIO_WRITEs and BIO_DELETEs.
Also add some more fail points for use in testing error handling.

We periodically record synchronization progress in the metadata
block of the disk being synchronized; this allows an interrupted
synchronization to be resumed. However, the frequency of these
updates heavily pessimized synchronization time on some media. This
change modifies gmirror to update metadata based on a time period,
and adds a sysctl to control that period. The default value results
in a much lower update frequency and increases the completion time
for an interrupted rebuild only marginally.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

In theory, all data access errors mean that a member is out of sync
at most. But they were treated as more serious errors to avoid the
situation where a flaky disk gets repeatedly disconnected, re-synchronized,
reconnected and then disconnected again.
ENXIO is a special error that means that the member disk disappeared,
so it should get the same handling as the GEOM orphaning event.
There is a better chance that when the disk is reconnected, it will be
a good member again.
When ENXIO happens on a read we use the exisiting G_MIRROR_BUMP_SYNCID
mechanism which means that the mirror's syncid is increased as soon
as there is a write to the mirror. That's because no data has got out
of sync yet, but the problematic memeber is disconnected, so the future
write will make it stale.
When ENXIO happens on a write we use a new G_MIRROR_BUMP_SYNCID_NOW
mechanism which means that we update the mirror metadata as soon as
possible because the problematic memeber is already behind.
