This replaces the current ioctl processing with a direct call path
from geom_dev() where the ioctl arrives (from SPECFS) to any directly
connected GEOM class.
The inverse of the above is no longer supported. This is the
situation were you have one or more intervening GEOM classes, for
instance a BSDlabel on top of a MBR or PC98. If you want to issue
MBR or PC98 specific ioctls, you will need to issue them on a MBR
or PC98 providers.
This paves the way for inviting CD's, FD's and other special cases
inside GEOM.
Use ->init() and ->fini() to handle the mutex in geom_disk.c
Remove the g_add_class() function and replace it with a standardized
g_modevent() function.
This adds the basic infrastructure for loading/unloading GEOM classes
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.
