The asynchronous I/O changes made previously result in different
behavior out of the box. Previously all AIO requests failed with
ENOSYS / SIGSYS unless aio.ko was explicitly loaded. Now, some AIO
requests complete and others ("unsafe" requests) fail with EOPNOTSUPP.
Reword the introductory paragraph in aio(4) to add a general
description of AIO before describing the vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl.
Remove the ENOSYS error description from aio_fsync(2), aio_read(2),
and aio_write(2) and replace it with a description of EOPNOTSUPP.
Remove the ENOSYS error description from aio_mlock(2).
Log a message to the system log the first time a process requests an

File and disk-backed I/O requests store counts of read/written disk
blocks in each AIO job so that they can be charged to the thread that
completes an AIO request via aio_return() or aio_waitcomplete(). This
change extends AIO jobs to store counts of received/sent messages and
updates socket backends to set these counts accordingly. Note that
the socket backends are careful to only charge a single messages for
each AIO request even though a single request on a blocking socket might
invoke sosend or soreceive multiple times. This is to mimic the
resource accounting of synchronous read/write.
Adjust the UNIX socketpair AIO test to verify that the message resource
usage counts update accordingly for aio_read and aio_write.

First, update the return types of aio_return() and aio_waitcomplete() to
ssize_t.
POSIX requires aio_return() to return a ssize_t so that it can represent
all return values from read() and write(). aio_waitcomplete() should use
ssize_t for the same reason.
aio_return() has used ssize_t in <aio.h> since r31620 but the manpage and
system call entry were not updated. aio_waitcomplete() has always
returned int.
Note that this does not require new system call stubs as this is
effectively only an API change in how the compiler interprets the return
value.
Second, allow aio_nbytes values up to IOSIZE_MAX instead of just INT_MAX.
aio_read/write should now honor the same length limits as normal read/write.
Third, use longs instead of ints in the aio_return() and aio_waitcomplete()
system call functions so that the 64-bit size_t in the in-kernel aiocb
isn't truncated to 32-bits before being copied out to userland or
being returned.
Finally, a simple test has been added to verify the bounds checking on the
maximum read size from a file.
For the !unmap case it may happen that pbuf gets called unreferenced
when vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() fails.
Initialize it so it doesn't cause trouble.

improve cancellation robustness.
Introduce a new file operation, fo_aio_queue, which is responsible for
queueing and completing an asynchronous I/O request for a given file.
The AIO subystem now exports library of routines to manipulate AIO
requests as well as the ability to run a handler function in the
"default" pool of AIO daemons to service a request.
A default implementation for file types which do not include an
fo_aio_queue method queues requests to the "default" pool invoking the
fo_read or fo_write methods as before.
The AIO subsystem permits file types to install a private "cancel"
routine when a request is queued to permit safe dequeueing and cleanup
of cancelled requests.
Sockets now use their own pool of AIO daemons and service per-socket
requests in FIFO order. Socket requests will not block indefinitely
permitting timely cancellation of all requests.
Due to the now-tight coupling of the AIO subsystem with file types,
the AIO subsystem is now a standard part of all kernels. The VFS_AIO
kernel option and aio.ko module are gone.
Many file types may block indefinitely in their fo_read or fo_write
callbacks resulting in a hung AIO daemon. This can result in hung
user processes (when processes attempt to cancel all outstanding
requests during exit) or a hung system. To protect against this, AIO
requests are only permitted for known "safe" files by default. AIO
requests for all file types can be enabled by setting the new
vfs.aio.enable_usafe sysctl to a non-zero value. The AIO tests have
been updated to skip operations on unsafe file types if the sysctl is
zero.
Currently, AIO requests on sockets and raw disks are considered safe
and are enabled by default. aio_mlock() is also enabled by default.

in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

The previous method was to set the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag in the cdevsw
for the driver. The problem with this is that in many cases (e.g.
sa(4)) there may be some instances of the driver that can handle
unmapped I/O and some that can't. The isp(4) driver can handle
unmapped I/O, but the esp(4) driver currently cannot. The cdevsw
is shared among all driver instances.
So instead of setting a flag on the cdevsw, set a flag on the cdev.
This allows drivers to indicate support for unmapped I/O on a
per-instance basis.
sys/conf.h: Remove the D_UNMAPPED_IO cdevsw flag and replace it
with an SI_UNMAPPED cdev flag.
kern_physio.c: Look at the cdev SI_UNMAPPED flag to determine
whether or not a particular driver can handle
unmapped I/O.
geom_dev.c: Set the SI_UNMAPPED flag for all GEOM cdevs.
Since GEOM will create a temporary mapping when
needed, setting SI_UNMAPPED unconditionally will
work.
Remove the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag.

if NVME_UNMAPPED_BIO_SUPPORT is enabled.

cdev instead of the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag on the cdevsw.

setting the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag in the cdevsw to setting
