the correct behaviour (sorting by distance from the current head position
in the scan direction) and bioq_insert_head() and bioq_insert_tail()
have a well defined (and useful) behaviour, especially when intermixed
with calls to bioq_disksort().
In particular:
- fix a bug in the existing bioq_disksort() that did not use the
current head position correctly;
- redefine semantics of bioq_insert_head() and bioq_insert_tail().
bioq_insert_tail() can now be used as a barrier
between previous and subsequent calls to bioq_disksort().
The code is heavily documented in the source code so please refer
to that for the details.
Much of this code comes from Fabio Checconi. Also thanks to Kirk
for feedback on the (re)definition of bioq_insert_tail().
NOTE: in the current tree there is only a handful of files which
intermix calls to bioq_disksort() with bioq_insert_head() and
bioq_insert_tail(). The ordering of the queue in these situation
was not specified (nor easy to figure out) before, so I doubt any
of that code could be affected by the specification of the API.
Also note that the current implementation is significantly simpler
than the previous one (also used in ata_sort_queue()).
It would be useful to reimplement ata_sort_queue() using
the same code used in bioq_disksort().

most of the code to deal with them has been dead for sometime. Simplify
the code by doing an insert sort hinted by the current head position.

If the bioq is empty, NULL is returned. Otherwise the front element
is removed and returned.
This can simplify locking in many drivers from:
lock()
bp = bioq_first(bq);
if (bp == NULL) {
unlock()
return
}
bioq_remove(bp, bq)
unlock
to:
lock()
bp = bioq_takefirst(bq);
unlock()
if (bp == NULL)
return;

that works in the new threaded kernel. It was commented out of
the disksort routine earlier this year for the reasons given in
kern/subr_disklabel.c (which is where this code used to reside
before it moved to kern/subr_disk.c):
----------------------------
revision 1.65
date: 2002/04/22 06:53:20; author: phk; state: Exp; lines: +5 -0
Comment out Kirks io-request priority hack until we can do this in a
civilized way which doesn't cause grief.
The problem is that it is not generally safe to cast a "struct bio
*" to a "struct buf *". Things like ccd, vinum, ata-raid and GEOM
constructs bio's which are not entrails of a struct buf.
Also, curthread may or may not have anything to do with the I/O request
at hand.
The correct solution can either be to tag struct bio's with a
priority derived from the requesting threads nice and have disksort
act on this field, this wouldn't address the "silly-seek syndrome"
where two equal processes bang the diskheads from one edge to the
other of the disk repeatedly.
Alternatively, and probably better: a sleep should be introduced
either at the time the I/O is requested or at the time it is completed
where we can be sure to sleep in the right thread.
The sleep also needs to be in constant timeunits, 1/hz can be practicaly
any sub-second size, at high HZ the current code practically doesn't
do anything.
----------------------------
As suggested in this comment, it is no longer located in the disk sort
routine, but rather now resides in spec_strategy where the disk operations
are being queued by the thread that is associated with the process that
is really requesting the I/O. At that point, the disk queues are not
visible, so the I/O for positively niced processes is always slowed
down whether or not there is other activity on the disk.
On the issue of scaling HZ, I believe that the current scheme is
better than using a fixed quantum of time. As machines and I/O
subsystems get faster, the resolution on the clock also rises.
So, ten years from now we will be slowing things down for shorter
periods of time, but the proportional effect on the system will
be about the same as it is today. So, I view this as a feature
rather than a drawback. Hence this patch sticks with using HZ.

NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

This fixes a bug where ``dumpon <device>'' will configure the dump
device at a random offset on the disk if <device> isn't a valid
partition.

and predictable way, and I apologize if I have gotten it wrong anywhere,
getting prior review on a patch like this is not feasible, considering
the number of people involved and hardware availability etc.)
If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)

Rename diskerr() to disk_err() for naming consistency.
Drop the by now entirely useless struct disklabel argument.
Add a flag argument for new-line termination.
Fix a couple of printf-format-casts to %j instead of %l.
Correctly print the name of all bio commands.
Move the function from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c,
and from <sys/disklabel.h> to <sys/disk.h>.
Use the new disk_err() throughout, #include <sys/disk.h> as needed.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for the sake of the aac disk drivers #ifdefs.
Remove unused disklabel members of softc for aac, amr and mlx, which seem
to originally have been intended for diskerr() use, but which only rotted
and got Copy&Pasted at least two times to many.

Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.
Details:
ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed. The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev. To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.
Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record. The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file. The kernel
is not saved. Only complete dumps will be saved.
All maintainer rights for this code are disclaimed: feel free to
improve and extend.

Make it a panic to repeat make_dev() or destroy_dev(), this check
should maybe be neutered when -current goes -stable.
Whine if devsw() is called on anon dev_t's in a devfs system.
Make a hack to avoid our lazy-eval disk code triggering the above whine.
Fix the multiple make_dev() in disk code by making ${disk}${unit}s${slice}

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

label if the dump device overflaps the label (which is a slight
misconfiguration). Dump routines don't use dscheck(), so the normal
write protection of the label doesn't help.
Reduced some nearby overflow bugs. In disk_dumpcheck(), there was
(fatal but fail-safe) overflow on i386's with 4GB of memory, at least
if Maxmem was the top page (can this happen?). The fix assumes that
the sector size divides PAGE_SIZE (dump routines already assume this).
In setdumpdev(), the corresponding overflow occurred with only about
2GB of memory on all machines with 32-bit ints. This allowed setdumpdev()
to succeed when it shouldn't have, but then disk_dumpcheck() failed
safe later. Except in old versions of FreeBSD like RELENG_3 where
there is no disk_dumpcheck().
