H A Dzvol.cdiff 295045 Fri Jan 29 15:24:34 MST 2016 asomers Add a sysctl to allow ZFS pools backed by zvols

Change 294329 removed the ability to build ZFS pools that are backed by
zvols, because having that ability (even if it's not used) leads to
deadlocks. By popular demand, I'm adding an off-by-default sysctl to
reenable that ability.

diff 294329 Tue Jan 19 15:05:33 MST 2016 asomers Disallow zvol-backed ZFS pools

Using zvols as backing devices for ZFS pools is fraught with panics and
deadlocks. For example, attempting to online a missing device in the
presence of a zvol can cause a panic when vdev_geom tastes the zvol. Better
to completely disable vdev_geom from ever opening a zvol. The solution
relies on setting a thread-local variable during vdev_geom_open, and
returning EOPNOTSUPP during zvol_open if that thread-local variable is set.

Remove the check for MUTEX_HELD(&zfsdev_state_lock) in zvol_open. Its intent
was to prevent a recursive mutex acquisition panic. However, the new check
for the thread-local variable also fixes that problem.

Also, fix a panic in vdev_geom_taste_orphan. For an unknown reason, this
function was set to panic. But it can occur that a device disappears during
tasting, and it causes no problems to ignore this departure.
