* It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
it should belong in a manual page
2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
* rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()
3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)
5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block
6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

* Instead of protecting ipfw hooks registering/deregistering by only
vnet0 lock (which does not prevent pointers access from another
vnets), introduce per vnet ipfw_nat_loaded variable. The variable is
set after hooks are registered and unset before they are deregistered.

configure sa(4) to request no I/O splitting by default.
For tape devices, the user needs to be able to clearly understand
what blocksize is actually being used when writing to a tape
device. The previous behavior of physio(9) was that it would split
up any I/O that was too large for the device, or too large to fit
into MAXPHYS. This means that if, for instance, the user wrote a
1MB block to a tape device, and MAXPHYS was 128KB, the 1MB write
would be split into 8 128K chunks. This would be done without
informing the user.
This has suboptimal effects, especially when trying to communicate
status to the user. In the event of an error writing to a tape
(e.g. physical end of tape) in the middle of a 1MB block that has
been split into 8 pieces, the user could have the first two 128K
pieces written successfully, the third returned with an error, and
the last 5 returned with 0 bytes written. If the user is using
a standard write(2) system call, all he will see is the ENOSPC
error. He won't have a clue how much actually got written. (With
a writev(2) system call, he should be able to determine how much
got written in addition to the error.)
The solution is to prevent physio(9) from splitting the I/O. The
new cdev flag, SI_NOSPLIT, tells physio that the driver does not
want I/O to be split beforehand.
Although the sa(4) driver now enables SI_NOSPLIT by default,
that can be disabled by two loader tunables for now. It will not
be configurable starting in FreeBSD 11.0. kern.cam.sa.allow_io_split
allows the user to configure I/O splitting for all sa(4) driver
instances. kern.cam.sa.%d.allow_io_split allows the user to
configure I/O splitting for a specific sa(4) instance.
There are also now three sa(4) driver sysctl variables that let the
users see some sa(4) driver values. kern.cam.sa.%d.allow_io_split
shows whether I/O splitting is turned on. kern.cam.sa.%d.maxio shows
the maximum I/O size allowed by kernel configuration parameters
(e.g. MAXPHYS, DFLTPHYS) and the capabilities of the controller.
kern.cam.sa.%d.cpi_maxio shows the maximum I/O size supported by
the controller.
Note that a better long term solution would be to implement support
for chaining buffers, so that that MAXPHYS is no longer a limiting
factor for I/O size to tape and disk devices. At that point, the
controller and the tape drive would become the limiting factors.
sys/conf.h: Add a new cdev flag, SI_NOSPLIT, that allows a
driver to tell physio not to split up I/O.
sys/param.h: Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1000049 for the addition
of the SI_NOSPLIT cdev flag.
kern_physio.c: If the SI_NOSPLIT flag is set on the cdev, return
any I/O that is larger than si_iosize_max or
MAXPHYS, has more than one segment, or would have
to be split because of misalignment with EFBIG.
(File too large).
In the event of an error, print a console message to
give the user a clue about what happened.
scsi_sa.c: Set the SI_NOSPLIT cdev flag on the devices created
for the sa(4) driver by default.
Add tunables to control whether we allow I/O splitting
in physio(9).
Explain in the comments that allowing I/O splitting
will be deprecated for the sa(4) driver in FreeBSD
11.0.
Add sysctl variables to display the maximum I/O
size we can do (which could be further limited by
read block limits) and the maximum I/O size that
the controller can do.
Limit our maximum I/O size (recorded in the cdev's
si_iosize_max) by MAXPHYS. This isn't strictly
necessary, because physio(9) will limit it to
MAXPHYS, but it will provide some clarity for the
application.
Record the controller's maximum I/O size reported
in the Path Inquiry CCB.
sa.4: Document the block size behavior, and explain that
the option of allowing physio(9) to split the I/O
will disappear in FreeBSD 11.0.
