This patch addresses multiple 'zpool import' block device
indentification problems which are most likely to occur on a
system configured to use blkid, by_vdev paths, multipath and
failover. The symptom most commonly observed is the import
uses different path names to import the pool than would
normally be expected.
* When using blkid to identify vdevs the listed devices may
be added to the cache in any order. In order to apply the
preferred search order heuristic a zfs_path_order() function
was added to calculate the order given full path names.
* Since it's possible to have multiple block devices with
different vdev guids which refer to the same ZPOOL_CONFIG_PATH
the slice cache must be indexed by guid and name. By avoiding
collisions the preferred ordering can be maintaining even
when multiple block devices claim the same ZPOOL_CONFIG_PATH.
The preferred sorting by partition was never benefitial for
a Linux system and was removed as part of this change.
* When adding entries to the blkid cache avl_find/avl_insert
are used instead of avl_add because collisions are possible
and must be handled gracefully.
* For pools using multipath devices there are, at a minimum,
three devices where a vdev label may be read. They are the
dm-* device and each underlying /dev/sd* device. Due to the
way the block cache is implemented each of these devices may
have a different cached copy of the vdev label. This can
result in "ghost pools" which appear to persist even after
a 'zpool labelclear' has been done to the dm-* device. In
order to prevent this the vdev label is read with O_DIRECT
in order to bypass any caching to get the on-disk version.
* When opening a block device verify that vdev guid read from
the disk matches the expected vdev guid. This allows for bad
labels to be filtered out.
