Add a new debug flag, DEBUG_LOCKREQS, which logs only lock requests.
with more than one plex, the data will be accessed
multiple times. During this time, userland code could
potentially modify the buffer, thus causing data
corruption. In the case of a multi-plexed volume this
might be cosmetic, but in the case of a RAID-[45] plex it
can cause severe data corruption which only becomes
evident after a drive failure. Avoid this situation by
making a copy of the data buffer before using it.
Note that this solution does not guarantee any particular
content of the buffer, just that it remains unchanged for
the duration of the request.
Suggested by: alfred
Use this instead of DEBUG_LASTREQS to decide whether to log lock
requests.
MFS:
vinumlock: Catch a potential race condition where one process is
waiting for a lock, and between the time it is woken and
it retries the lock, another process gets it and places it
in the first entry in the table.
This problem has not been observed, but it's possible, and
it's easy enough to fix.
Submitted by: tegge
vinumunlock: Catch a real bug capable of hanging a system. When
releasing a lock, vinumunlock() called wakeup_one. This
caused wakeups to sometimes get lost. After due
consideration, we think that this is due to the fact that
you can't guarantee that some other process is also
waiting on the same address. This makes wakeup_one a
very dangerous function to use.

Add retryerrors keyword.
vinum_scandisk: Print a different message if an inadvertent start

In case of error, check the VF_RETRYERRORS flag in the subdisk and

This commit is the first of a general cleanup of the header files..
It won't be enough to make bde happy.
Move debug definitions from vinumhdr.h.
Create a new struct rangelockinfo. In revision 1.21 of vinumlock.c,
the plex info was removed from struct rangelock, since it wasn't
needed there. It *is* needed for trace information, however, so use
struct rangelockinfo for that.
userland tool:
Use the vfs.devfs.generation sysctl to test for devfs presense
(thanks phk!) when devfs is active it will not try to create the
device nodes in /dev and therefore will not complain about the
failure to do so.
Revert the change in the #define for VINUM_DIR in the kernel
header so that vinum can find its device nodes.
Replace perror() with vinum_perror() to print file/line when
DEVBUG is defined (not defined by default).
kernel:
Don't use the #define names for the "superdev" creation since
they will be prepended by "/dev/" (based on VINUM_DIR), instead
use string constants.
Create both debug and non-debug "superdev" nodes in the devfs.

remove_sd_entry() to:
Simplify (hopefully) it by moving all error returns closer to
the beginning of the function.
Return an error when "Error removing subdisk %s: not found in
plex %s\n" would have been reported, as I doubt that we are "OK"
after printing that error message.
Adding make_dev() and destroy_dev() calls in (hopefully) the right
places.
This is done by calling make_dev() in each object constructor and
caching the dev_t's returned from make_dev() in each struct
'subdisk'(sd), 'plex' and 'volume' such that the 'object'_free()
functioncs can call destroy dev.
This change makes a subset of the old /dev/vinum appear under devfs.
Enough nodes appear such that I'm able to mount my striped volume.
There may be more work needed to get vinum configuration working
properly.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

This is damage control, not a fix.
Experienced by: peter
Break some long format strings so that they fit in style(9)-sized
lines.
Remove some "outdentation".
Rewrite lockrange and unlockrange. The lock table is now a fixed
size, so there is no possibility for race conditions when expanding.
The current size (256 locked ranges) should be large enough that it
makes no sense to expand it. To do expansion right would require
quiescing the plex (requiring at least 256 I/O completions), and the
performance implications are horrendous.
Add a mutex per plex for accessing the lock table.
