event posting functions varargs to fill these.
Attribute g_call_me() to appropriate g_geom's where necessary.
Add a flag argument to g_call_me() methods which will be used to signal
cancellation of events in the future.
This commit should be a no-op.
in geom_disk.c.
As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
Retire the "d_dump_t" and use the "dumper_t" type instead.
Dumper_t takes a void * as first arg which is more general than the
dev_t taken by d_dump_t. (Remember: we could have net-dumpers if
somebody wrote us one!)
Define the convention for GEOM controlled disk devices to be that the
first argument to the dumper function is the struct disk pointer.
Change device drivers accordingly.
Change the argument to disk_destroy() to be the same struct disk * as
disk_create() takes.
This enables drivers to ignore the (now) bogus dev_t which disk_create()
returns.
Cut up requests into smaller bits if they are longer than the drivers
disk->d_maxsize or dev->si_iosize_max.
Properly handle the race condition when using g_clone_bio() is used
without having the single-threadedness of g_down/g_up secure locking.
and d_stripesisze;
Introduce si_stripesize and si_stripeoffset in struct cdev so we
can make the visible to clustering code.
Add stripesize and stripeoffset to providers.
DTRT with stripesize and stripeoffset in various places in GEOM.
We may actually be increasing Giant contention doing so because the
actual stuff we do is very cheap.
Also I am not convinced there is not a tiny window for a race here.
Change the si_name of dev_t's to be a char * and put a private buffer for
holding the name at then end of the struct.
Initialize si_name to point to the private buffer.
Put a KASSERT in geom_disk to prevent overrun on the fake dev_t we still
have to generate for the disk_drivers.
Make passing the methods in a cdevsw structure optional.
Move "CANFREE" and "NOGIANT" flags into struct disk instead of the
cdevsw which may or may not be there.
Rename CANFREE to CANDELETE to match BIO_DELETE operation.
Add "OPEN" flag so drivers don't have to provide open/close methods
just to maintain such a flag.
Add temporary stopgap include of <sys/conf.h> to <sys/disk.h> until
the files which have them in the other order are fixed.
Add KASSERTS to make sure we don't get fed too many NULL pointers.
Clear our geom's softc pointer before we wither.
WARNING: This is not a published interface, it is a stopgap measure for
WARNING: libdisk so we can get 5.0-R out of the door.

This is not quite the set of information I would want, but the tree where
I have the "correct" version is messed up with conflicts.

don't take the detour over the I/O path to discover them using getattr(),
we can just pick them out directly.
Do note though, that for now they are only valid after the first open
of the underlying disk device due compatibility with the old disk_create()
API. This will change in the future so they will always be valid.

So do GEOM. Not a pretty sight.
Take all the interesting stuff out of GEOM::disk_create(), and leave just
the creation of the fake dev_t. Schedule the topology munging to happen
in the g_event thread with g_call_me().
This makes disk_create() pretty lock-agnostic, almost lock-atheist.

and therefore we need a way for ioctl handlers to run in that thread
in GEOM. Rather than invent a complicated registration system to
recognize which ioctl handler to use for a given ioctl, we still
schedule all ioctls down the tree as bio transactions but add a
special return code that means "call me directly" and have the
geom_dev layer do that.
Use this for all ioctls that make it as far as a diskdriver to
avoid any backwards compatibility problems.

NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.
