d3517d306c Expose API to allow disks to ask for alias names in devfs.
Implement disk_add_alias to allow aliases to be added to disks. All
disk have a primary name (say "foo") can also have secondary names
(say "bar") such that all instances of "foo" also have a "bar"
alias. So if you have foo0, foo0p1, foo1, foo1s1 and foo1s1a nodes
created by the foo driver and gpart, device nodes bar0, bar0p1, bar1,
bar1s1 and bar1s1a will appear as symlinks back to the original nodes.
This generalizes to multiple aliases. However, since the unit number
follows the primary name, multiple device drivers can't create the
same aliases unless those drives coorinate the unit number space (eg
you couldn't add an alias 'disk' to both 'da' and 'ada' because it's
possible to have da0 and ada0, because 'disk0' is ambiguous).

1a29adad30 Remove Giant-locked drivers support (DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT flag) from disk(9).
Since at least FreeBSD 7 we had only four of them in the base tree, and
in head branch, thanks to jhb@, we have no any for more then a year.

c3fb2891f0 Fix a bug which causes a panic in daopen(). The panic is caused by
a da(4) instance going away while GEOM is still probing it.

In this case, the GEOM disk class instance has been created by
disk_create(), and the taste of the disk is queued in the GEOM
event queue.

While that event is queued, the da(4) instance goes away.  When the
open call comes into the da(4) driver, it dereferences the freed
(but non-NULL) peripheral pointer provided by GEOM, which results
in a panic.

The solution is to add a callback to the GEOM disk code that is
called when all of its resources are cleaned up.  This is
implemented inside GEOM by adding an optional callback that is
called when all consumers have detached from a provider, and the
provider is about to be deleted.

scsi_cd.c,
scsi_da.c:	In the register routine for the cd(4) and da(4)
		routines, acquire a reference to the CAM peripheral
		instance just before we call disk_create().

		Use the new GEOM disk d_gone() callback to register
		a callback (dadiskgonecb()/cddiskgonecb()) that
		decrements the peripheral reference count once GEOM
		has finished cleaning up its resources.

		In the cd(4) driver, clean up open and close
		behavior slightly.  GEOM makes sure we only get one
		open() and one close call, so there is no need to
		set an open flag and decrement the reference count
		if we are not the first open.

		In the cd(4) driver, use cam_periph_release_locked()
		in a couple of error scenarios to avoid extra mutex
		calls.

geom.h:		Add a new, optional, providergone callback that
		is called when a provider is about to be deleted.

geom_disk.h:	Add a new d_gone() callback to the GEOM disk
		interface.

		Bump the DISK_VERSION to version 2.  This probably
		should have been done after a couple of previous
		changes, especially the addition of the d_getattr()
		callback.

geom_disk.c:	Add a providergone callback for the disk class,
		g_disk_providergone(), that calls the user's
		d_gone() callback if it exists.

		Bump the DISK_VERSION to 2.

geom_subr.c:	In g_destroy_provider(), call the providergone
		callback if it has been provided.

		In g_new_geomf(), propagate the class's
		providergone callback to the new geom instance.

blkfront.c:	Callers of disk_create() are supposed to pass in
		DISK_VERSION, not an explicit disk API version
		number.  Update the blkfront driver to do that.

disk.9:		Update the disk(9) man page to include information
		on the new d_gone() callback, as well as the
		previously added d_getattr() callback, d_descr
		field, and HBA PCI ID fields.

2f6e000a7e Correct #include file in SYNOPSIS:
It is not sys/geom_disk.h, but located under geom/ directory,
    so, mark it geom/geom_disk.h.

aad6efcc96 Mdoc Janitor:
* Uppercase .Dt command contents.

  * Make use of .Fo and .Fc for marking up functions with
    a lot of arguments.

    NOTE: Please do not use the `\' line seperator for mdoc(7)
    manual pages, as it has problems of its own on some displays;
    instead, consult the mdoc(7) manual on using .Fo and .Fc.

  * Change 'man' to 'manual' for consistency.

5e50629b39 Additional information on the memory properties of struct disk
instances: the memory holding a struct disk should be pre-zeroed so
as to initialize any storage framework private data in the structures
properly.  In addition, the memory must be writable so that the
private data may be updated.

ef43d3b590 Documentation of kernel disk_create() and disk_destroy() APIs. These
APIs permit disk device drivers to register and deregister storage devices
for use by storage device consumers.  No doubt this API will change
more as time flies by, but this should be helpful to the creators of
new storage device drivers.
