of strenuous agreement, and some general agreement, this commit is
going ahead because it's now starting to block some other changes I
wish to make.]
Remove most of the support for the concept of "rows" from RAIDframe.
While the "row" interface has been exported to the world, RAIDframe
internals have really only supported a single row, even though they
have feigned support of multiple rows.
Nothing changes in configuration land -- config files still need to
specify a single row, etc. All auto-config structures remain fully
forward/backwards compatible.
The only visible difference to the average user should be a
reduction in the size of a GENERIC kernel (i386) by 4.5K. For those
of us trolling through RAIDframe kernel code, a lot of the driver
configuration code has become a LOT easier to read.
rework how completed requests are handled. In particular, instead of
doing all sorts of work and locking in interrupt context, completed
requests are now queued. A new kernel thread (rf_RaidIOThread) now
handles calling rf_DiskIOComplete() and (req->CompleteFunc)() for each
completed request. There is still work to be done to make RAIDframe
LOCKDEBUG friendly, but this change is a huge step forward.

the stuff that used to live in rf_types.h, rf_raidframe.h, rf_layout.h,
rf_netbsd.h, rf_raid.h, rf_decluster,h, and a few other places.
Believe it or not, when this is all done, things will be cleaner.
No functional changes to RAIDframe.
- make component_label variables more consistent (==> clabel)
- re-work incorrect component configuration code
- re-work disk configuration code
- cleanup initial configuration of raidPtr info
- add auto-detection of components and RAID sets (Disabled, for now)
- allow / on RAID sets (Disabled, for now)
- rename "config_disk_queue" to "rf_ConfigureDiskQueue" and properly prototype
in rf_diskqueue.h
- protect some headers with #if _KERNEL (XXX this needs to be fixed properly)
and cleanup header formatting.
- expand the component labels (yes, they should be backward/forward compatible)
- other bits and pieces (some function names are still bogus, and will get
changed soon)
out-dated comments, and other unneeded stuff. This helps prepare
for cleaning up the rest of the code, and adding new functionality.
No functional changes to the kernel code in this commit.
Carnegie Mellon University. Full RAID implementation, including
levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, parity logging, and a few other goodies.
