- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

254271 13-Aug-2013 mav

Oops, wrong constant at r254269.


254269 13-Aug-2013 mav

Fix reasonable but safe Clang warnings.


253706 27-Jul-2013 mav

Introduce 3 seconds timeout on `graid stop` command (mostly with -f flag).
Since completion waiting goes in g_event thread, it may cause GEOM deadlock
if consumer on top (for example, ZFS) uses g_event thread for closing.


250819 20-May-2013 mav

Fix vdc->Secondary_Element_Count metadata field access from 16 to 8 bit.
In some cases it could cause kernel panic during failed drive replacement.

249974 27-Apr-2013 mav

Return "descr" field alike to "Intel RAID1 volume" for GEOM RAID to make
it look better in bsdinstall.


248720 26-Mar-2013 mav

Remove extra bio_data and bio_length copying to child request after calling
g_clone_bio(), that already copied them.

Add legacy support to geom raid to create a /dev/arX device for support
of upgrading older machines using ataraid(4) to newer releases.

This optional parameter is controlled via kern.geom.raid.legacy_aliases
and will create a /dev/ar0 device that will point at /dev/raid/r0 for
example.

Tested on Dell SC 1425 DDF-1 format software raid controllers installing from
stable/7 and upgrading to stable/9 without having to adjust /etc/fstab

245533 17-Jan-2013 mav

- Fix rebuild position broken at r245522.
- Identify one more metadata field.


245522 17-Jan-2013 mav

For Promise/AMD metadata add support for disks with capacity above 2TiB
and for volumes with sector size above 512 bytes.


245519 17-Jan-2013 mav

Recalculate volume size only for real CONCATs. For SINGLE trust volume
size given by metadata, as it should be correct and in some cases can be
smaller then subdisk size.


245433 14-Jan-2013 mav

Keep value of orig_config_id metadata field. Windows driver writes there
previous value of config_id when it is changed in some cases. I guess it
may be used do avoid some split-brain conditions.


245425 14-Jan-2013 mav

Small cosmetic tuning of the IRRT status constants.


245423 14-Jan-2013 mav

Print some more metadata fields.


245400 14-Jan-2013 mav

Windows driver writes relative volume IDs to metadata field. Use that value
as a hint for raid/rX device number to make it persistent across reboots.


245398 13-Jan-2013 mav

- Add checks for Intel metadata version and attributes. Ignore disks with
unsupported metadata types like Intel Smart Response to not corrupt them.
- Improve setting of these things during metadata writing to protect from
incapable BIOS'es and other implementations.


245363 13-Jan-2013 mav

Improve support for disabled disks. If disabled disk disconnected and then
reconnected back, leave it as disconnected. If new disk inserted instead of
disabled, rebuild it and leave as enabled.


245341 12-Jan-2013 mav

Windows handles INIT and VERIFY as array-wide and it doesn't specify which
disks should be rebuilt. Our rebuild code is same time disk-centric. To
handle this situation properly check all disks for RBLD flags, and if no
disk specified try rebuild/resync all of them except newly inserted.


245338 12-Jan-2013 mav

Implement migration from single disk to RAID1/IRRT for Intel metadata.
Windows driver uses such migration when it creates new arrays. While GEOM
RAID has no mechanism to implement migration in general case, this specifc
case still can be handled easily via degraded RAID1 creation followed by
regular rebuild.


245326 12-Jan-2013 mav

Add basic support for Intel Rapid Recover Technology (Intel RRT).
It is alike to RAID1, but with dedicating master and recovery disks and
providing manual control over synchronization. It allows to use recovery
disk as snapshot of the master disk from the time of the last sync.

This implementation is not functionaly complete comparing to Windows,
but it is better then silent conversion to RAID1 on first boot.


242328 29-Oct-2012 mav

Minor addition to r242323:
Alike to BIO_WRITE, report success if at least one subdisk succeeded with
BIO_DELETE. But unlike BIO_WRITE don't fail disk on BIO_DELETE error.

242323 29-Oct-2012 mav

Add basic BIO_DELETE support to GEOM RAID class for all RAID levels.

If at least one subdisk in the volume supports it, BIO_DELETE requests
will be propagated down. Unfortunatelly, for RAID levels with redundancy
unmapped blocks will be mapped back during first rebuild/resync process.

242314 29-Oct-2012 mav

Make GEOM RAID more aggressive in marking volumes as clean on shutdown
and move that action from shutdown_pre_sync to shutdown_post_sync stage
to avoid extra flapping.

ZFS tends to not close devices on shutdown, that doesn't allow GEOM RAID
to shutdown gracefully. To handle that, mark volume as clean just when
shutdown time comes and there are no active writes.

241418 10-Oct-2012 mav

NULL-ify last previously used pointer instead of last possible pointer.
This should be only a cosmetic change.

Found by: Clang Static Analyzer


241329 07-Oct-2012 mav

Make graid command line a bit more friendly by allowing volume name or
provider name to be specified instead of geom name (first argument in all
subcommands except label). In most cases there is only one array used
any way, so it is not really useful to make user type ugly geom names like
Intel-f0bdf223 or SiI-732c2b9448cf. Though they can be used in some cases.

240465 13-Sep-2012 mav

Add global and per-module sysctls/tunables to enable/disable metadata taste.
That should help to handle some cases when disk has some RAID metadata that
should be ignored, especially during boot.

235270 11-May-2012 mav

- Prevent error status leak if write to some of the RAID1/1E volume disks
failed while write to some other succeeded. Instead mark disk as failed.
- Make RAID1E less aggressive in failing disks to avoid volume breakage.

235096 06-May-2012 mav

Remove some hardcoded constants from code.


235080 06-May-2012 mav

235076 06-May-2012 mav

Add support for RAID5R. Slightly improve support for RAIDMDF.


234994 04-May-2012 mav

Fix bug causing memory corruption and panics with big-endian metadata.


234993 04-May-2012 mav

Implement read-only support for volumes in optimal state (without using
redundancy) for the following RAID levels: RAID4/5E/5EE/6/MDF.


234940 03-May-2012 mav

Add optional -o argument to the `graid label ` to specify some metadata
format options. Use it for specifying byte order for the DDF metadata:
big-endian defined by specification and little-endian used by Adaptec.


234899 01-May-2012 mav

Improve spare disks support. Unluckily, for some reason Adaptec 1430SA
RAID BIOS doesn't want to understand spare disks created by graid. But
at least spares created by BIOS are working fine now.


234869 01-May-2012 mav

Implement volume deletion if disk has more then one partition.


234868 01-May-2012 mav

Improve DDF metadata writing.


234848 30-Apr-2012 mav

Add to GEOM RAID class module, supporting the DDF metadata format, as
defined by the SNIA Common RAID Disk Data Format Specification v2.0.

Supports multiple volumes per array and multiple partitions per disk.
Supports standard big-endian and Adaptec's little-endian byte ordering.
Supports all single-layer RAID levels. Dual-layer RAID levels except
RAID10 are not supported now because of GEOM RAID design limitations.

Some work is still to be done, but the present code already manages basic
interoperation with RAID BIOS of the Adaptec 1430SA SATA RAID controller.

Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

MFgraid/head:
Add new RAID GEOM class, that is going to replace ataraid(4) in supporting
various BIOS-based software RAIDs. Unlike ataraid(4) this implementation
does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.

Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.

Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.

For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.

Look graid(8) manual page for additional details.
