Note that there is specifically and by design no tunable or sysctl

over whether the mdroot fs is writeable using vfs.root.mountfrom.options
from loader(8), the root_rw_mount rcvar, and by using "mount -u[rw] /"

to make the mdroot fs truly immutable before userland code begins running.

MD_ROOT_SIZE and embed_mfs.sh were basically retired as part of

However, when building a kernel with 'options MD_ROOT_SIZE' specified, this
results in a non-working MFS, as within sys/dev/md/md.c we fall within the
wrong # ifdef.
This patch implements the following:
* Allow kernels to be built without the MD_ROOT_SIZE option, which results
in a kernel built as per D2903.
* Allow kernels to be built with the MD_ROOT_SIZE option, which results
in a kernel built similarly to the pre-D2903 way, with the following
differences:
* The MFS is now put in a separate section within the kernel (oldmfs,
so it differs from the mfs section introduced by D2903).
* embed_mfs.sh is changed, so it looks up the oldmfs section within the
kernel, gets its size and offset, sees if the MFS will fit within the
allocated oldmfs section and only if all is well does a dd of the MFS
image into the kernel.

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes

camdd(8) utility.
CCBs may be queued to the driver via the new CAMIOQUEUE ioctl, and
completed CCBs may be retrieved via the CAMIOGET ioctl. User
processes can use poll(2) or kevent(2) to get notification when
I/O has completed.
While the existing CAMIOCOMMAND blocking ioctl interface only
supports user virtual data pointers in a CCB (generally only
one per CCB), the new CAMIOQUEUE ioctl supports user virtual and
physical address pointers, as well as user virtual and physical
scatter/gather lists. This allows user applications to have more
flexibility in their data handling operations.
Kernel memory for data transferred via the queued interface is
allocated from the zone allocator in MAXPHYS sized chunks, and user
data is copied in and out. This is likely faster than the
vmapbuf()/vunmapbuf() method used by the CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl in
configurations with many processors (there are more TLB shootdowns
caused by the mapping/unmapping operation) but may not be as fast
as running with unmapped I/O.
The new memory handling model for user requests also allows
applications to send CCBs with request sizes that are larger than
MAXPHYS. The pass(4) driver now limits queued requests to the I/O
size listed by the SIM driver in the maxio field in the Path
Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB.
There are some things things would be good to add:
1. Come up with a way to do unmapped I/O on multiple buffers.
Currently the unmapped I/O interface operates on a struct bio,
which includes only one address and length. It would be nice
to be able to send an unmapped scatter/gather list down to
busdma. This would allow eliminating the copy we currently do
for data.
2. Add an ioctl to list currently outstanding CCBs in the various
queues.
3. Add an ioctl to cancel a request, or use the XPT_ABORT CCB to do
that.
4. Test physical address support. Virtual pointers and scatter
gather lists have been tested, but I have not yet tested
physical addresses or scatter/gather lists.
5. Investigate multiple queue support. At the moment there is one
queue of commands per pass(4) device. If multiple processes
open the device, they will submit I/O into the same queue and
get events for the same completions. This is probably the right
model for most applications, but it is something that could be
changed later on.
Also, add a new utility, camdd(8) that uses the asynchronous pass(4)
driver interface.
This utility is intended to be a basic data transfer/copy utility,
a simple benchmark utility, and an example of how to use the
asynchronous pass(4) interface.
It can copy data to and from pass(4) devices using any target queue
depth, starting offset and blocksize for the input and ouptut devices.
It currently only supports SCSI devices, but could be easily extended
to support ATA devices.
It can also copy data to and from regular files, block devices, tape
devices, pipes, stdin, and stdout. It does not support queueing
multiple commands to any of those targets, since it uses the standard
read(2)/write(2)/writev(2)/readv(2) system calls.
The I/O is done by two threads, one for the reader and one for the
writer. The reader thread sends completed read requests to the
writer thread in strictly sequential order, even if they complete
out of order. That could be modified later on for random I/O patterns
or slightly out of order I/O.
camdd(8) uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) to get I/O completion events from
the pass(4) driver and also to send request notifications internally.
For pass(4) devcies, camdd(8) uses a single buffer (CAM_DATA_VADDR)
per CAM CCB on the reading side, and a scatter/gather list
(CAM_DATA_SG) on the writing side. In addition to testing both
interfaces, this makes any potential reblocking of I/O easier. No
data is copied between the reader and the writer, but rather the
reader's buffers are split into multiple I/O requests or combined
into a single I/O request depending on the input and output blocksize.
For the file I/O path, camdd(8) also uses a single buffer (read(2),
write(2), pread(2) or pwrite(2)) on reads, and a scatter/gather list
(readv(2), writev(2), preadv(2), pwritev(2)) on writes.
Things that would be nice to do for camdd(8) eventually:
1. Add support for I/O pattern generation. Patterns like all
zeros, all ones, LBA-based patterns, random patterns, etc. Right
Now you can always use /dev/zero, /dev/random, etc.
2. Add support for a "sink" mode, so we do only reads with no
writes. Right now, you can use /dev/null.
3. Add support for automatic queue depth probing, so that we can
figure out the right queue depth on the input and output side
for maximum throughput. At the moment it defaults to 6.
4. Add support for SATA device passthrough I/O.
5. Add support for random LBAs and/or lengths on the input and
output sides.
6. Track average per-I/O latency and busy time. The busy time
and latency could also feed in to the automatic queue depth
determination.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.h:
Define two new ioctls, CAMIOQUEUE and CAMIOGET, that queue
and fetch asynchronous CAM CCBs respectively.
Although these ioctls do not have a declared argument, they
both take a union ccb pointer. If we declare a size here,
the ioctl code in sys/kern/sys_generic.c will malloc and free
a buffer for either the CCB or the CCB pointer (depending on
how it is declared). Since we have to keep a copy of the
CCB (which is fairly large) anyway, having the ioctl malloc
and free a CCB for each call is wasteful.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.c:
Add asynchronous CCB support.
Add two new ioctls, CAMIOQUEUE and CAMIOGET.
CAMIOQUEUE adds a CCB to the incoming queue. The CCB is
executed immediately (and moved to the active queue) if it
is an immediate CCB, but otherwise it will be executed
in passstart() when a CCB is available from the transport layer.
When CCBs are completed (because they are immediate or
passdone() if they are queued), they are put on the done
queue.
If we get the final close on the device before all pending
I/O is complete, all active I/O is moved to the abandoned
queue and we increment the peripheral reference count so
that the peripheral driver instance doesn't go away before
all pending I/O is done.
The new passcreatezone() function is called on the first
call to the CAMIOQUEUE ioctl on a given device to allocate
the UMA zones for I/O requests and S/G list buffers. This
may be good to move off to a taskqueue at some point.
The new passmemsetup() function allocates memory and
scatter/gather lists to hold the user's data, and copies
in any data that needs to be written. For virtual pointers
(CAM_DATA_VADDR), the kernel buffer is malloced from the
new pass(4) driver malloc bucket. For virtual
scatter/gather lists (CAM_DATA_SG), buffers are allocated
from a new per-pass(9) UMA zone in MAXPHYS-sized chunks.
Physical pointers are passed in unchanged. We have support
for up to 16 scatter/gather segments (for the user and
kernel S/G lists) in the default struct pass_io_req, so
requests with longer S/G lists require an extra kernel malloc.
The new passcopysglist() function copies a user scatter/gather
list to a kernel scatter/gather list. The number of elements
in each list may be different, but (obviously) the amount of data
stored has to be identical.
The new passmemdone() function copies data out for the
CAM_DATA_VADDR and CAM_DATA_SG cases.
The new passiocleanup() function restores data pointers in
user CCBs and frees memory.
Add new functions to support kqueue(2)/kevent(2):
passreadfilt() tells kevent whether or not the done
queue is empty.
passkqfilter() adds a knote to our list.
passreadfiltdetach() removes a knote from our list.

When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.
The defined now safety requirements are:
- caller should not hold any locks and should be reenterable;
- callee should not depend on GEOM dual-threaded concurency semantics;
- on the way down, if request is unmapped while callee doesn't support it,
the context should be sleepable;
- kernel thread stack usage should be below 50%.
To keep compatibility with GEOM classes not meeting above requirements
new provider and consumer flags added:
- G_CF_DIRECT_SEND -- consumer code meets caller requirements (request);
- G_CF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- consumer code meets callee requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- provider code meets caller requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- provider code meets callee requirements (request).
Capable GEOM class can set them, allowing direct dispatch in cases where
it is safe. If any of requirements are not met, request is queued to
g_up or g_down thread same as before.
Such GEOM classes were reviewed and updated to support direct dispatch:
CONCAT, DEV, DISK, GATE, MD, MIRROR, MULTIPATH, NOP, PART, RAID, STRIPE,
VFS, ZERO, ZFS::VDEV, ZFS::ZVOL, all classes based on g_slice KPI (LABEL,
MAP, FLASHMAP, etc).
To declare direct completion capability disk(9) KPI got new flag equivalent
to G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- DISKFLAG_DIRECT_COMPLETION. da(4) and ada(4) disk
drivers got it set now thanks to earlier CAM locking work.
This change more then twice increases peak block storage performance on
systems with manu CPUs, together with earlier CAM locking changes reaching
more then 1 million IOPS (512 byte raw reads from 16 SATA SSDs on 4 HBAs to
256 user-level threads).

The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc

- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()

- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).
