write paths within RAIDframe. They also resolve the "panics with
RAID 5 sets with more than 3 components" issue which was present
(briefly) in the commits which were previously supposed to address
the malloc() issue.
With this new code the 5-component RAID 5 set panics are now gone.
It is also now also possible to swap to RAID 5.
The changes made are:
1) Introduce rf_AllocStripeBuffer() and rf_FreeStripeBuffer() to
allocate/free one stripe's worth of space. rf_AllocStripeBuffer() is
used in rf_MapUnaccessedPortionOfStripe() where it is not sufficient to
allocate memory using just rf_AllocBuffer(). rf_FreeStripeBuffer() is
called from rf_FreeRaidAccDesc(), well after the DAG is finished.
2) Add a set of emergency "stripe buffers" to struct RF_Raid_s.
Arrange for their initialization in rf_Configure(). In low-memory
situations these buffers will be returned by rf_AllocStripeBuffer()
and re-populated by rf_FreeStripeBuffer().
3) Move RF_VoidPointerListElem_t *iobufs from the dagHeader into
into struct RF_RaidAccessDesc_s. This is more consistent with the
original code, and will not result in items being freed "too early".
4) Add a RF_RaidAccessDesc_t *desc to RF_DagHeader_s so that we have a
way to find desc->iobufs.
5) Arrange for desc in the DagHeader to be initialized in InitHdrNode().
6) Don't cleanup iobufs in rf_FreeDAG() -- the freeing is now delayed
until rf_FreeRaidAccDesc() (which is how the original code handled the
allocList, and for which there seem to be some subtle, undocumented
assumptions).
7) Rename rf_AllocBuffer2() to be rf_AllocBuffer() and remove the
former rf_AllocBuffer(). Fix all callers of rf_AllocBuffer().
(This was how it was *supposed* to be after the last time these
changes were made, before they were backed out).
8) Remove RF_IOBufHeader and all references to it.
9) Remove desc->cleanupList and all references to it.
Fixes PR#20191
which is a more generic "that's not in the tree" response.
ENOPROTOOPT was specific to the net subtree under the old framework,
and didn't add much value (other than letting the caller know they
were looking up something under the net subtree, which they presumably
ought to have known already).
would be good) mostly copied from sysctl(3). This takes care of the
top-level, most of kern.* and hw.* (modulo the ath and bge stuff), and
all of proc.*.
If you don't want the added rodata in your kernel, use "options
SYSCTL_NO_DESCR" in your kernel config.
