This implements vdev_bdev_database_check(). It alters the detected
sector size of any device listed in a database of drives known to lie
about their physical sector sizes.
This is based on "6931570 Add flash devices' VID/PID to disk table to
advertising 4K physical sector size" from Open Solaris and on
sg_simple4.c from sg3_utils. About two dozen lines are taken from
sg_simple4.c, which is GPLv2 licensed. However, sg_simple4.c is
analogous to a Hello World program and is safe for us to use. We
requested that Douglas Gilbert, the author of sg_simple4.c, confirm that
this is the case. A cutdown version of his response is as follows:
```
I would consider a SCSI INQUIRY example using the Linux sg
driver interface (also written by me) as the equivalent of an
"hello world" program in C.
```
The database was created with the help of the freenode and ZFSOnLinux
communities.
Some notes:
1. The following drives both were confirmed to lie via reports in IRC
and they contain capacity information in their identifiers:
INTEL SSDSA2M080
INTEL SSDSA2M160
M4-CT256M4SSD2
WDC WD15EARS-00S
WDC WD15EARS-00Z
WDC WD20EARS-00M
The identifiers for different capacity models were extrapolated and
added under the assumption that those models also lie. Google was used
to verify that the extrapolated drive identifiers existed prior to their
inclusion.
2. The OCZ-VERTEX2 3.5 identifer applies to two drives that differ
solely in page size (and slightly in capacity). One uses 4096-byte pages
and the other uses 8192-byte pages. Both are set to use 8192-byte pages.
We could detect the page size by checking the capacity, but that would
unnecessarily complicate the code.
3. It is possible for updated drive firmware to correctly report the
sector size. There were reports of a few advanced format drives doing
that. One report stated that the vendor changed the identification
string while another was unclear on this. Both reports involved WDC
models.
4. Google was used to determine the size of pages in the listed flash
devices. Reports of 8192-byte pages took precedence over reports of
4096-byte pages.
5. Devices behind USB adapters can have their identification strings
altered. Identification strings obtained across USB adapters are
omitted and no attempt is made to correct for alterations made by USB
adapters when doing comparisons against the database. Two entries in the
Open Solaris database that appear to have been altered by a USB
adapter were omitted.

The issue with hot spares in ZoL is because it opens all leaf
vdevs exclusively (O_EXCL). On Linux, exclusive opens cause
subsequent exclusive opens to fail with EBUSY.
This could be resolved by not opening any of the devices
exclusively, which is what Illumos does, but the additional
protection offered by exclusive opens is desirable. It cleanly
prevents you from accidentally adding an in-use non-ZFS device
to your pool.
To fix this we very slightly relaxed the usage of O_EXCL in
the following ways.
1) Functions which open the device but only read had the
O_EXCL flag removed and were updated to use O_RDONLY.
2) A common holder was added to the vdev disk code. This
allow the ZFS code to internally open the device multiple
times but non-ZFS callers may not.
3) An exception was added to make_disks() for hot spare when
creating partition tables. For hot spare devices which
are already opened exclusively we skip creating the partition
table because this must already have been done when the disk
was originally added as a hot spare.
Additional minor changes include fixing check_in_use() to use
a partition instead of a slice suffix. And is_spare() was moved
above make_disks() to avoid adding a forward reference.

The 'zpool replace' command would fail when given a short name
because unlike on other platforms the short name cannot be
deterministically expanded to a single path. Multiple path
prefixes must be checked and in addition the partition suffix
for whole disks is determined by the prefix.
To handle this complexity a zfs_strcmp_pathname() function was
added which takes either a short or fully qualified device name.
Short names will be expanded using the prefixes in the default
import search path, or the ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable
if it's defined. All posible expansions are then compared against
the comparison path. Care is taken to strip redundant slashes to
ensure legitimate matches are not missed.
In the context of this work the existing zfs_resolve_shortname()
function was extended to consider the ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH when set.
The zfs_append_partition() interface was also simplified to take
only a single buffer.
The vast majority of these changes rework existing Linux specific
code which was originally written to accomidate udev. However,
there is some minimal cleanup which removes Illumos specific code.
This was done to improve readability but the basic flow and intent
of the upstream code was maintained.
These changes are the logical conclusion of the previos work to
adjust the 'zpool import' search behavior, see commit 44867b6a.

vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path
in a storage topology to a channel name. The channel name is combined
with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the
physical location of the drive. This is particularly helpful when it
comes to tasks like replacing failed drives. Slot numbers may also be
re-mapped in case the default numbering is unsatisfactory. The drive
aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev.
The only currently supported topologies are sas_direct and sas_switch:
o sas_direct - a channel is uniquely identified by a PCI slot and a
HBA port
o sas_switch - a channel is uniquely identified by a SAS switch port
A multipath mode is supported in which dm-mpath devices are handled by
examining the first running component disk, as reported by 'multipath
-l'. In multipath mode the configuration file should contain a
channel definition with the same name for each path to a given
enclosure.
vdev_id can replace the existing zpool_id script on systems where the
storage topology conforms to sas_direct or sas_switch. The script
could be extended to support other topologies as well. The advantage
of vdev_id is that it is driven by a single static input file that can
be shared across multiple nodes having a common storage toplogy.
zpool_id, on the other hand, requires a unique /etc/zfs/zdev.conf per
node and a separate slot-mapping file. However, zpool_id provides the
flexibility of using any device names that show up in
/dev/disk/by-path, so it may still be needed on some systems.
vdev_id's functionality subsumes that of the sas_switch_id script, and
it is unlikely that anyone is using it, so sas_switch_id is removed.
Finally, /dev/disk/by-vdev is added to the list of directories that
'zpool import' will scan.

When creating a new pool, make_root_vdev() calls check_in_use() to
ensure that none of the consituent disks are in use. If the disk
contains a valid vdev label it is read to retrieve the list of its
child vdevs and these are checked recursively. However, the
partitions stored in the vdev label my no longer exist, for example
if the partition table has since been altered. In any such case we
would want the pool creation to proceed, so this change removes the
check from check_slice() that returns an error if the device doesn't
exist. As an added assurance, the Solaris implementation also
returns sucess on ENOENT.

Some disks with internal sectors larger than 512 bytes (e.g., 4k) can
suffer from bad write performance when ashift is not configured
correctly. This is caused by the disk not reporting its actual sector
size, but a sector size of 512 bytes. The drive may behave this way
for compatibility reasons. For example, the WDC WD20EARS disks are
known to exhibit this behavior.
When creating a zpool, ZFS takes that wrong sector size and sets the
"ashift" property accordingly (to 9: 1<<9=512), whereas it should be
set to 12 for 4k sectors (1<<12=4096).
This patch allows an adminstrator to manual specify the known correct
ashift size at 'zpool create' time. This can significantly improve
performance in certain cases. However, it will have an impact on your
total pool capacity. See the updated ashift property description
in the zpool.8 man page for additional details.
Valid values for the ashift property range from 9 to 17 (512B-128KB).
Additionally, you may set the ashift to 0 if you wish to auto-detect
the sector size based on what the disk reports, this is the default
behavior. The most common ashift values are 9 and 12.
Example:
zpool create -o ashift=12 tank raidz2 sda sdb sdc sdd

Creating whole-disk vdevs can intermittently fail if a udev-managed symlink to
the disk partition is already in place. To avoid this, we now remove any such
symlink before partitioning the disk. This makes zpool_label_disk_wait() truly
wait for the new link to show up instead of returning if it finds an old link
still in place. Otherwise there is a window between when udev deletes and
recreates the link during which access attempts will fail with ENOENT.
Also, clean up a comment about waiting for udev to create symlinks. It no
longer needs to describe the special cases for the link names, since that is
now handled in a separate helper function.

This change adds two helper functions for working with vdev names and paths.
zfs_resolve_shortname() resolves a shorthand vdev name to an absolute path
of a file in /dev, /dev/disk/by-id, /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-path,
/dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/zpool. This was previously done only in the
function is_shorthand_path(), but we need a general helper function to
implement shorthand names for additional zpool subcommands like remove.
is_shorthand_path() is accordingly updated to call the helper function.
There is a minor change in the way zfs_resolve_shortname() tests if a file
exists. is_shorthand_path() effectively used open() and stat64() to test for
file existence, since its scope includes testing if a device is a whole disk
and collecting file status information. zfs_resolve_shortname(), on the other
hand, only uses access() to test for existence and leaves it to the caller to
perform any additional file operations. This seemed like the most general and
lightweight approach, and still preserves the semantics of is_shorthand_path().
zfs_append_partition() appends a partition suffix to a device path. This
should be used to generate the name of a whole disk as it is stored in the vdev
label. The user-visible names of whole disks do not contain the partition
information, while the name in the vdev label does. The code was lifted from
the function make_disks(), which now just calls the helper function. Again,
having a helper function to do this supports general handling of shorthand
names in the user interface.
