the 10.1-RELEASE process.

# 265669 08-May-2014 mav

MFC r265054:
Reduce number of opens by REOM RAID during provider taste.

Instead opening/closing provider by each of metadata classes, do it only
once in core code. Since for SCSI disks open/close means sending some
SCSI commands to the device, this change reduces taste time.

# 264868 24-Apr-2014 mav

MFC r264318:
Fix wrong sizes used to access PD_Type and PD_State DDF metadata fields.

This caused incorrect behavior of arrays with big-endian DDF metadata.
Little-endian (like used by Adaptec controllers) should not be harmed.
Add workaround should be enough to manage compatibility.


# 260385 06-Jan-2014 scottl

MFC Alexander Motin's GEOM direct dispatch work:

r256603:
Introduce new function devstat_end_transaction_bio_bt(), adding new argument
to specify present time. Use this function to move binuptime() out of lock,
substantially reducing lock congestion when slow timecounter is used.

r256606:
Move g_io_deliver() out of the lock, as required for direct dispatch.
Move g_destroy_bio() out too to reduce lock scope even more.

r256607:
Fix passing uninitialized bio_resid argument to g_trace().

r256610:
Add unmapped I/O support to GEOM RAID.

r256830:
Restore BIO_UNMAPPED and BIO_TRANSIENT_MAPPING in biodonne() when unmapping
temporary mapped buffer. That fixes double unmap if biodone() called twice
for the same BIO (but with different done methods).

r256880:
Merge GEOM direct dispatch changes from the projects/camlock branch.

When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.

r259247:
Fix bug introduced at r256607. We have to recalculate bp_resid here since
sizes of original and completed requests may differ due to end of media.

Testing of the stable/10 merge was done by Netflix, but all of the credit
goes to Alexander and iX Systems.

# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

# 250819 19-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.

# 247918 07-Mar-2013 mav

Fix panic when Secondary_Element_Count == 1 and Secondary_Element_Seq
is not set (255).

# 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.

# 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.

MFC after: 3 days


# 235096 06-May-2012 mav

Remove some hardcoded constants from code.


# 235080 06-May-2012 mav

Plug small memory leaks.


# 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.


# 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.
