Linux 2.6.35 compat, fops->fsync() The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take 3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.

Linux 2.6.28 compat, insert_inode_locked() Added insert_inode_locked() helper function, prior to this most callers used insert_inode_hash(). The older method doesn't check for collisions in the inode_hashtable but it still acceptible for use. Fallback to using insert_inode_hash() when insert_inode_locked() is unavailable.

Tear down and flush the mmap region The inode eviction should unmap the pages associated with the inode. These pages should also be flushed to disk to avoid the data loss. Therefore, use truncate_setsize() in evict_inode() to release the pagecache. The API truncate_setsize() was added in 2.6.35 kernel. To ensure compatibility with the old kernel, the patch defines its own truncate_setsize function. Signed-off-by: Prasad Joshi <pjoshi@stec-inc.com> Closes #255

Add backing_device_info per-filesystem For a long time now the kernel has been moving away from using the pdflush daemon to write 'old' dirty pages to disk. The primary reason for this is because the pdflush daemon is single threaded and can be a limiting factor for performance. Since pdflush sequentially walks the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems. The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info). The bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback. The advantage is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single filesystem from slowing writeback to the others. For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't strictly required to implement the bdi scheme. However, as of Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired. Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache. Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback. However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi functionality can cause problems. If an application handles a page fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath. This will result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in the system drops below the dirty ratio. Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the dirty pages will not get written out. Thus the application will hang. As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages. This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t which is already allocated per-super block. It is then registered when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount. It will not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only. This change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #174
