# 308865 19-Nov-2016 jilles

MFC r307755: swapoff: Remove only late devices with -aL.

Currently, '/etc/rc.d/swaplate stop' removes all swap devices. This can be
very slow and may not even be possible if there is a lot of swap space in
use. However, removing swap devices is only needed for late swap devices
that may depend on daemons that subsequent shutdown steps stop. Normal swap
devices such as hard disk partitions will remain available throughout the
shutdown process and need not be removed.

In swapoff, interpret -aL to remove late swap devices only, and use this in
etc/rc.d/swaplate. The meaning of -aL in swapon remains unchanged (add all
swap devices, both normal and late).

# 308863 19-Nov-2016 jilles

MFC r306585: swapon(8): Update to reality: swapoff ignores -L and the late

# 258469 22-Nov-2013 pluknet

# 252310 27-Jun-2013 hrs

- Add vnode-backed swap space specification support. This is enabled when
device names "md" or "md[0-9]*" and a "file" option are specified in
/etc/fstab like this:

md none swap sw,file=/swap.bin 0 0

- Add GBDE/GELI encrypted swap space specification support, which
rc.d/encswap supported. The /etc/fstab lines are like the following:

/dev/ada1p1.bde none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ada1p2.eli none swap sw 0 0

.eli devices accepts aalgo, ealgo, keylen, and sectorsize as options.

swapctl(8) can understand an encrypted device in the command line
like this:

# swapctl -a /dev/ada2p1.bde

- "-L" flag is added to support "late" option to defer swapon until
rc.d/mountlate runs.

- rc.d script change:

rc.d/encswap -> removed
rc.d/addswap -> just display a warning message if $swapfile is defined
rc.d/swap1 -> renamed to rc.d/swap
rc.d/swaplate -> newly added to support "late" option

These changes alleviate a race condition between device creation/removal
and swapon/swapoff.

# 108375 28-Dec-2002 dillon

Add 'swapctl' - as a hardlink to swapon/swapoff, and augment swapon with
swapctl functionality. The idea is to create a swapctl command that is
fairly close to the OpenBSD and NetBSD version. FreeBSD does not implement
swap priority (and it would be a mistake if we did) so we didn't bother with
that part of it.
