linux: add basic fallocate(mode=0/2) compatibility Implement semi-compatible functionality for mode=0 (preallocation) and mode=FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE (preallocation beyond EOF) for ZPL. Since ZFS does COW and snapshots, preallocating blocks for a file cannot guarantee that writes to the file will not run out of space. Even if the first overwrite was guaranteed, it would not handle any later overwrite of blocks due to COW, so strict compliance is futile. Instead, make a best-effort check that at least enough free space is currently available in the pool (with a bit of margin), then create a sparse file of the requested size and continue on with life. This does not handle all cases (e.g. several fallocate() calls before writing into the files when the filesystem is nearly full), which would require a more complex mechanism to be implemented, probably based on a modified version of dmu_prealloc(), but is usable as-is. A new module option zfs_fallocate_reserve_percent is used to control the reserve margin for any single fallocate call. By default, this is 110% of the requested preallocation size, so an additional 10% of available space is reserved for overhead to allow the application a good chance of finishing the write when the fallocate() succeeds. If the heuristics of this basic fallocate implementation are not desirable, the old non-functional behavior of returning EOPNOTSUPP for calls can be restored by setting zfs_fallocate_reserve_percent=0. The parameter of zfs_statvfs() is changed to take an inode instead of a dentry, since no dentry is available in zfs_fallocate_common(). A few tests from @behlendorf cover basic fallocate functionality.

Allow mounting datasets more than once Currently mounting an already mounted zfs dataset results in an error, whereas it is typically allowed with other filesystems. This causes some bad interactions with mount namespaces. Take this sequence for example: - Create a dataset - Create a snapshot of the dataset - Create a clone of the snapshot - Create a new mount namespace - Rename the original dataset The rename results in unmounting and remounting the clone in the original mount namespace, however the remount fails because the dataset is still mounted in the new mount namespace. (Note that this means the mount in the new mount namespace is never being unmounted, so perhaps the unmount/remount of the clone isn't actually necessary.) The problem here is a result of the way mounting is implemented in the kernel module. Since it is not mounting block devices it uses mount_nodev() instead of the usual mount_bdev(). However, mount_nodev() is written for filesystems for which each mount is a new instance (i.e. a new super block), and zfs should be able to detect when a mount request can be satisfied using an existing super block. Change zpl_mount() to call sget() directly with it's own test callback. Passing the objset_t object as the fs data allows checking if a superblock already exists for the dataset, and in that case we just need to return a new reference for the sb's root dentry.

Linux compat: Minimum kernel version 3.10 Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10. This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions. Distribution | Kernel | End of Life ---------------- | ------ | ------------- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017 SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019 RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020 The following changes were made as part of removing support. * Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10). configure: error: *** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32. *** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10. * Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel. * Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel. Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface. * Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the legacy interface. * Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in the same fashion, but this as left as future work. - config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks - config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks - config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks * Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and sops->free_cached_objects().

Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev() The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback in the file_system_type structure. When using the new interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper. Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing implementation because we currently save this pointer in the super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options. This needed to be done originally to allow commands like 'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However, under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated. Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux. This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which have been reported. This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'. This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing them on to the file system itself. Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

void
Restructure per-filesystem reclaim Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was to register a single callback for the ZPL. The ARC could invoke this call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC. The ZPL would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim. For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems. This patch is designed to address those issues. 1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in a single callback. The most straight forward and portable way to resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount. The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple callbacks so this is functionally a very small change. 2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory() and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with equivalent functionality. This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from the caches if needed. This patch adds that missing functionality by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be pinning inodes. This will result in all unused cache entries being dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface available for old kernels. 3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than 2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback. This ensures that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately removed from the cache. If this isn't done than inode can end up on the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them. Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still be recreated without performing disk IO.
