Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
For the !gsp case there some chance of returning an uninitialized
return value. Prevent that from happening by initializing the
error value.

years for head. However, it is continuously misused as the mpsafe argument
for callout_init(9). Deprecate the flag and clean up callout_init() calls
to make them more consistent.

have been in the base for a while, so the gymnastics here aren't
needed. In addition, the bugs in subr_disk.c have been fixed since
2009, so there's no need for an identical copy of it in the tree
anymore. There's really no need to binary patch g_io_request, so let's
get rid of the code (not compiled in anymore) lest others think it is
a good idea.
in userland rename in-kernel getenv()/setenv() to kern_setenv()/kern_getenv().
This fixes a namespace collision with libc symbols.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
The algorithm is supposed to work as follows:
in order to prevent starvation, when a new client starts being served we
record the start time and reset the counter of bytes served.
We then switch to a new client after a certain amount of time or bytes,
even if the current one still has pending requests.
To avoid charging a new client the time of the first seek,
we start counting time when the first request is served.
Unfortunately a bug in the previous version of the code failed
to set the start time in certain cases, resulting in some processes
exceeding their timeslice.
The fix (in this patch) is trivial, though it took a while to find
out and replicate the bug.
Thanks to Tommaso Caprai for investigating and fixing the problem.

Add the BIO_ORDERED flag for struct bio and update bio clients to use it.
The barrier semantics of bioq_insert_tail() were broken in two ways:
o In bioq_disksort(), an added bio could be inserted at the head of
the queue, even when a barrier was present, if the sort key for
the new entry was less than that of the last queued barrier bio.
o The last_offset used to generate the sort key for newly queued bios
did not stay at the position of the barrier until either the
barrier was de-queued, or a new barrier (which updates last_offset)
was queued. When a barrier is in effect, we know that the disk
will pass through the barrier position just before the
"blocked bios" are released, so using the barrier's offset for
last_offset is the optimal choice.
sys/geom/sched/subr_disk.c:
sys/kern/subr_disk.c:
o Update last_offset in bioq_insert_tail().
o Only update last_offset in bioq_remove() if the removed bio is
at the head of the queue (typically due to a call via
bioq_takefirst()) and no barrier is active.
o In bioq_disksort(), if we have a barrier (insert_point is non-NULL),
set prev to the barrier and cur to it's next element. Now that
last_offset is kept at the barrier position, this change isn't
strictly necessary, but since we have to take a decision branch
anyway, it does avoid one, no-op, loop iteration in the while
loop that immediately follows.
o In bioq_disksort(), bypass the normal sort for bios with the
BIO_ORDERED attribute and instead insert them into the queue
with bioq_insert_tail(). bioq_insert_tail() not only gives
the desired command order during insertion, but also provides
barrier semantics so that commands disksorted in the future
cannot pass the just enqueued transaction.

in a device independent manner. Also include an example anticipatory
scheduler, gsched_rr, which gives very nice performance improvements
in presence of competing random access patterns.
