X-MFC after: to be determined in last commit with code from this project
The algorithm is supposed to work as follows:
in order to prevent starvation, when a new client starts being served we
record the start time and reset the counter of bytes served.
We then switch to a new client after a certain amount of time or bytes,
even if the current one still has pending requests.
To avoid charging a new client the time of the first seek,
we start counting time when the first request is served.
Unfortunately a bug in the previous version of the code failed
to set the start time in certain cases, resulting in some processes
exceeding their timeslice.
The fix (in this patch) is trivial, though it took a while to find
out and replicate the bug.
Thanks to Tommaso Caprai for investigating and fixing the problem.

Mark the kern.disks sysctl as MPSAFE since it is and it seems to have

Partially break the KPI (but not the KBI) for the sysctl_req 'lock'

seems meaningless now.

small non fatal inconsistency. EBR may contain boot loader and sometimes
it just has some garbage data. Now this does not prevent FreeBSD to use
extended partitions. But since we do not support bootcode for EBR we mark
tables which have non empty boot area as corrupt. This does make them
readonly and we can not damage this data.

and replace tsleep(9) with msleep(9) which doesn't use a timeout. The
previously used timeout caused the event process to wake up ten times
per second on an idle system.
one_event() is now called with the topology lock held and it returns
with both the topology and event locks held when there are no more
events in the queue.

Change the last argument of gets() to indicate a visibility flag and add

will behave exactly the same, so existing consumers shouldn't break. We
only use it in two places, though.

This was needed for recover implementation.
Implement the recover command for GPT. Now GPT will marked as
corrupt when any of three types of corruption will be detected:
1. Damaged primary GPT header or table
2. Damaged secondary GPT header or table
3. Secondary header is not located in the last LBA
Marked GPT becomes read-only. Any changes with corrupt table
are prohibited. Only "destroy" and "recover" commands are allowed.

information that device is already suspended or that device is using
one-time key and suspend is not supported.
- 'geli suspend -a' silently skips devices that use one-time key, this is fine,
but because we log which device were suspended on the console, log also which
devices were skipped.
Before this change if you wanted to suspend your laptop and be sure that your
encryption keys are safe, you had to stop all processes that use file system
stored on encrypted device, unmount the file system and detach geli provider.
This isn't very handy. If you are a lucky user of a laptop where suspend/resume
actually works with FreeBSD (I'm not!) you most likely want to suspend your
laptop, because you don't want to start everything over again when you turn
your laptop back on.
And this is where geli suspend/resume steps in. When you execute:
# geli suspend -a
geli will wait for all in-flight I/O requests, suspend new I/O requests, remove
all geli sensitive data from the kernel memory (like encryption keys) and will
wait for either 'geli resume' or 'geli detach'.
Now with no keys in memory you can suspend your laptop without stopping any
processes or unmounting any file systems.
When you resume your laptop you have to resume geli devices using 'geli resume'
command. You need to provide your passphrase, etc. again so the keys can be
restored and suspended I/O requests released.
Of course you need to remember that 'geli suspend' won't clear file system
cache and other places where data from your geli-encrypted file system might be
present. But to get rid of those stopping processes and unmounting file system
won't help either - you have to turn your laptop off. Be warned.
Also note, that suspending geli device which contains file system with geli
utility (or anything used by 'geli resume') is not very good idea, as you won't
be able to resume it - when you execute geli(8), the kernel will try to read it
and this read I/O request will be suspended.
and print a diagnostic if the call fails.
This avoids a panic when a device with an invalid name is attempted to
be registered. For example the label class gets device names from
untrusted input.
