MD class. Previously only the DISK class was dumped. The only
consumer of this sysctl is libdisk (i.e. sysinstall) and it tests
explicitly for instances of the DISK class. Dumping other classes
is therefore harmless.
By also dumping the MD class regression tests can be written that
use the MD class for operations that would normally be done on the
DISK class. The sysctl can now be used to test if those operations
took an effect. An example is partitioning.
Retire g_sanity() and corresponding debugflag (0x8)
Retire g_{stall,release}_events().
Under #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC:
Make g_valid_obj() an official function and have it return an an
non-zero integer which indicates the kind of object when found.
Implement G_VALID_{CLASS,GEOM,CONSUMER,PROVIDER}() macros based
on g_valid_obj().
Sprinkle calls to these macros liberally over the infrastructure.
Always check that we do not free a live object.
test is built to test GEOM as running in the kernel.
This commit is basically "unifdef -D_KERNEL" to remove the mainly #include
related code to support the userland-harness.
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.
Add debug.sizeof.g_stat sysctl.
Set the id field of the g_stat when we create consumers and providers.
Remove biocount from consumer, we will use the counters in the g_stat
structure instead. Replace one field which will need to be atomically
manipulated with two fields which will not (stat.nop and stat.nend).
Change add companion field to bio_children: bio_inbed for the exact
same reason.
Don't output the biocount in the confdot output.
Fix KASSERT in g_io_request().
Add sysctl kern.geom.collectstats defaulting to off.
Collect the following raw statistics conditioned on this sysctl:
for each consumer and provider {
total number of operations started.
total number of operations completed.
time last operation completed.
sum of idle-time.
for each of BIO_READ, BIO_WRITE and BIO_DELETE {
number of operations completed.
number of bytes completed.
number of ENOMEM errors.
number of other errors.
sum of transaction time.
}
}
API for getting hold of these statistics data not included yet.

the relevant classes.
Some methods may implement various "magic spaces", this is reserved
or magic areas on the disk, set a side for various and sundry purposes.
A good example is the BSD disklabel and boot code on i386 which occupies
a total of four magic spaces: boot1, the disklabel, the padding behind
the disklabel and boot2. The reason we don't simply tell people to
write the appropriate stuff on the underlying device is that (some of)
the magic spaces might be real-time modifiable. It is for instance
possible to change a disklabel while partitions are open, provided
the open partitions do not get trampled in the process.

test and play with this.
This is not yet production quality and should be run only on dedicated
test boxes.
For people who want to develop transformations for GEOM there exist a
set of shims to run geom in userland (ask phk@freebsd.org).
