were modified during the lifetime of primary node, not entire GEOM provider.

reordering won't make the actual write to be committed before marking
the coresponding extent as dirty.
It can be disabled in configuration file.
If BIO_FLUSH is not supported by the underlying file system we log a warning
and never send BIO_FLUSH again to that GEOM provider.

activemap but metadata is not updated on disk.

only receiving the data. In r220271 the unused directions were
disabled using shutdown(2).
Unfortunately, this broke automatic receive buffer sizing, which
currently works only for connections in ETASBLISHED state. It was a
root cause of the issue reported by users, when connection between
primary and secondary could get stuck.
Disable the code introduced in r220271 until the issue with automatic
buffer sizing is not resolved.

sending. What happens otherwise is that the sender splits all the
traffic into 32k chunks, while the receiver is waiting for the whole
packet. Then for a certain packet sizes, particularly 66607 bytes in
my case, the communication stucks to secondary is expecting to
read one chunk of 66607 bytes, while primary is sending two chunks
of 32768 bytes and third chunk of 1071. Probably due to TCP windowing
and buffering the final chunk gets stuck somewhere, so neither server
not client can make any progress.
This patch also protect from short reads, as according to the manual
page there are some cases when MSG_WAITALL can give less data than
expected.

requests as well as number of activemap updates.
Number of BIO_WRITEs and activemap updates are especially interesting, because
if those two are too close to each other, it means that your workload needs
bigger number of dirty extents. Activemap should be updated as rarely as
possible.

because we need to do ioctl(2)s, which are not permitted in the capability
mode. What we do now is to chroot(2) to /var/empty, which restricts access
to file system name space and we drop privileges to hast user and hast
group.
This still allows to access to other name spaces, like list of processes,
network and sysvipc.
To address that, use jail(2) instead of chroot(2). Using jail(2) will restrict
access to process table, network (we use ip-less jails) and sysvipc (if
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed is turned off). This provides much better
separation.
