When fetching property values of snapshots, a check against the head
dataset type must be performed. Previously, this additional check was
performed only when fetching "version", "normalize", "utf8only" or "case".
This caused the ZPL properties "acltype", "exec", "devices", "nbmand",
"setuid" and "xattr" to be erroneously displayed with meaningless values
for snapshots of volumes. It also did not allow for the display of
"volsize" of a snapshot of a volume.
This patch adds the headcheck flag paramater to zfs_prop_valid_for_type()
and zprop_valid_for_type() to indicate the check is being done
against a head dataset's type in order that properties valid only for
snapshots are handled correctly. This allows the the head check in
get_numeric_property() to be performed when fetching a property for
a snapshot.

Today the metaslab_debug logic performs two tasks:

This change provides knobs for each of these independently.

Notes:
1) This is a small piece of the metaslab improvement patch from
Illumos. It was worth bringing over before the rest, since it's
low risk and it can be useful on fragmented pools (e.g. Lustre
MDTs). metaslab_debug_unload would give the performance benefit
of the old metaslab_debug option without causing unwanted delay

When the system attributes (SAs) for an object exceed what can
can be stored in the bonus area of a dnode a spill block is
allocated. These spill blocks are currently considered data
blocks. However, they should be accounted for as meta data
because they are effectively an extension of the dnode.
While this may seem like a minor accounting issue it has broader
implications. The key thing to be aware of is that each spill
block will hold a reference on its parent dnode. The dnode in
turn holds a reference on its dbuf in the dnode object. This
means that a single 512 byte data buffer for a spill block can
pin over 16k of meta data. This is analogous to the small file
situation described in 2b13331 where a relatively small number
of data buffer can cause the ARC to exceed the meta limit.
However, unlike the small file case a spill block can legitimately
be considered meta data. By changing the spill block to meta data
they will now be dropped from the cache when the meta limit is
reached. This then allows the dnodes and dbufs which the spill
block was pinning to be released.

Endianness detection in LZ4 is broken in user-space builds. This
bug corrupts compressed data and manifests itself in several ztest
failures. When LZ4 was originally ported to Illumos ZFS, the proper
checks for Linux were stripped out. The Linux port then inherited
the remaining detection code that works on Illumos but not on Linux.
The current LZ4 endianness check misuses the condition
defined(__BIG_ENDIAN) to indicate a big-endian system. On Linux
__BIG_ENDIAN is defined uncondtionally in the user-space header
/usr/include/endian.h, regardless of the endianness of the system.
The kernel does not use this header, so only user-space builds are
affected.
While we could fix this by restoring the upstream LZ4 endianness
detection code, reliable checks already exist in
libspl/include/sys/isa_defs.h. This change uses the libspl results
to replace the word-size and endianness checks in LZ4, simplifying
the code and reducing duplication.

Due to an asymmetry in the kmem accounting a memory leak was being
reported when it was only an accounting issue. All memory allocated
with kmem_alloc() must be released with kmem_free() or it will not
be properly accounted for.
In this case the code used strfree() to release the memory allocated
by kmem_alloc(). Presumably this was done because the size of the
memory region wasn't available when the memory needed to be freed.
To resolve this issue the code has been updated to use strdup() instead
of kmem_alloc() to allocate the memory. Like strfree(), strdup() is
not integrated with the memory accounting. This means we can use
strfree() to release it like Illumos.

By default maximal number of objects in slab can't exceed (16*2 - 1) and slab
size can't exceed 32M.
Today's high end servers having couple hundreds of RAM available for ARC may
run into a trouble with virtual memory because of the restriction mentioned
above.
Problem:
Reasons for very high number of virtual memory allocations:
* Real slab size very small relative to the size of the entire RAM
* Slabs allocated on virtual memory and fill entire ARC
The result is very high number of allocated virtual memory ranges (hundreds of
ranges). When virtual memory subsystem manages high number of ranges its
performance become so poor that it freezes from time to time.
Solution:
Number of objects per slab should be increased taking into account maximal
slab size which can also be increased if needed.

By setting __GFP_NORETRY the kernel memory reclaim logic was allowed to
abort early and dump a falled allocation stack to the console. Since
this was done in a tight loop to fill memory it could result in a large
number of stacks being dumped to the console. This in turn slowed down
the test sufficiently so it exceeded the time limit and failed.
To resolve this issue the __GFP_NORETRY flag is being removed. This is
how it should have been called originally to ensure we're simulating
the behavior of most callers which will use the GFP_KERNEL flag.
In addition, the reclaim granularity of 1000 objects was far to coarse
for this to be a realistic test. For kmem:slab_reclaim there might
only be a few thousand objects total in the cache. Therefore, the
SPLAT_KMEM_OBJ_RECLAIM constant for these tests was lowered. This
will cause the reclaim callback to run more frequently which makes
for a better test case.
The frequency of the cache reaping in kmem:slab_reap was increased
to accommodate the reduced number of objects released during the
reclaim.
These changes only impact the test cases and were done to remove
false positives caused by the test case itself.

This patch implements the original fix in a slightly different manner in
order to avoid both deadlocks. Instead of relying on a call to ilookup()
which can block in __wait_on_freeing_inode() the return value from igrab()
is used. This gives us the information that ilookup() provided without
the risk of a deadlock.
Alternately, this race could be closed by registering an sops->drop_inode()
callback. The callback would need to detect the active SA hold thereby
informing the VFS that this inode should not be evicted.

Issue #180
When a vdev starts getting I/O or checksum errors it is now
possible to automatically rebuild to a hot spare device.
To cleanly support this functionality in a shell script some
additional information was added to all zevent ereports which
include a vdev. This covers both io and checksum zevents but
may be used but other scripts.
In the Illumos FMA solution the same information is required
but it is retrieved through the libzfs library interface.
Specifically the following members were added:
vdev_spare_paths - List of vdev paths for all hot spares.
vdev_spare_guids - List of vdev guids for all hot spares.
vdev_read_errors - Read errors for the problematic vdev
vdev_write_errors - Write errors for the problematic vdev
vdev_cksum_errors - Checksum errors for the problematic vdev.
By default the required hot spare scripts are installed but this
functionality is disabled. To enable hot sparing uncomment the
ZED_SPARE_ON_IO_ERRORS and ZED_SPARE_ON_CHECKSUM_ERRORS in the
/etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc configuration file.
These scripts do no add support for the autoexpand property. At
a minimum this requires adding a new udev rule to detect when
a new device is added to the system. It also requires that the
autoexpand policy be ported from Illumos, see:
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/cmd/syseventd/modules/zfs_mod/zfs_mod.c

Originally, users had to handle spa namespace collisions by either
exporting the already imported pool or by specifying a new name for the
pool with a conflicting name. In the case of root pools from virtual
guests, neither approach to collision resolution is reasonable. This is
addressed by extending the new name syntax with a -t option to specify
that the new name is temporary. When specified, this sets an internal
flag that is passed into the kernel to tell it that all label updates
should refer to the name used in the original label. Consequently, the
original pool name will be retained on export.

Some callers of dmu_tx_assign() use the TXG_NOWAIT flag and call
dmu_tx_wait() themselves before retrying if the assignment fails.
The wait times for such callers are not accounted for in the
dmu_tx_assign kstat histogram, because the histogram only records
time spent in dmu_tx_assign(). This change moves the histogram
update to dmu_tx_wait() to properly account for all time spent there.
One downside of this approach is that it is possible to call
dmu_tx_wait() multiple times before successfully assigning a
transaction, in which case the cumulative wait time would not be
recorded. However, this case should not often arise in practice,
because most callers currently use one of these forms:
dmu_tx_assign(tx, TXG_WAIT);
dmu_tx_assign(tx, waited ? TXG_WAITED : TXG_NOWAIT);
The first form should make just one call to dmu_tx_delay() inside of
dmu_tx_assign(). The second form retries with TXG_WAITED if the first
assignment fails and incurs a delay, in which case no further waiting
is performed. Therefore transaction delays normally occur in one
call to dmu_tx_wait() so the histogram should be fairly accurate.
Another possible downside of this approach is that the histogram will
no longer record overhead outside of dmu_tx_wait() such as in
dmu_tx_try_assign(). While I'm not aware of any reason for concern on
this point, it is conceivable that lock contention, long list
traversal, etc. could cause assignment delays that would not be
reflected in the histogram. Therefore the histogram should strictly
be used for visibility in to the normal delay mechanisms and not as a
profiling tool for code performance.

following the write throttle restructuring of commit
e8b96c6007.
Prior to that commit, the nreserved column showed the number of bytes
temporarily reserved in the pool by a transaction group at sync time.
The new write throttle did away with temporary reservations and uses
the amount of dirty data instead. To approximate the old output of
the txgs kstat, the number of dirty bytes per-txg was passed in as
the nreserved value to spa_txg_history_set_io(). This approach did
not work as intended, because the per-txg dirty value is decremented
as data is written out to disk, so it is zero by the time we call
spa_txg_history_set_io(). To fix this, save the number of dirty
bytes before calling spa_sync(), and pass this value in to
spa_txg_history_set_io().
Also, since the name "nreserved" is now a misnomer, the column
heading is now labeled "ndirty".

A few counters in the dmu_tx kstats are obsolete or no longer
bumped properly.
- The sync task restructuring commit
13fe019870 removed the code
that bumpted dmu_tx_quota. The counter is now bumped in two
cases, instead of just the one case as before (after the result
of dsl_dataset_check_quota call). The second case is where
we check the requested reservation against the actual pool size,
as this is an implicit quota of sorts.
- The write throttle restructuring commit
e8b96c6007 makes dmu_tx_how and
dmu_tx_inflight obsolete, so they are removed.

Userland tools such as blkid, grub2-probe and zdb will go through the
buffer cache. However, ZFS uses on submit_bio() to bypass the buffer
cache when performing IO operations on vdevs for efficiency purposes.
This permits the on-disk state and buffer cache to fall out of
synchronization. That causes seemingly random failures when tools
reading stale metadata from the buffer cache try to access references to
data that is no longer there.
A particularly bad failure this causes involves grub2-probe, which is
used by grub2-mkconfig. Ordinarily, a rootfs might be called
rpool/ROOT/gentoo. However, when a failure occurs in grub2-probe,
grub2-mkconfig will generate a configuration file containing
/ROOT/gentoo, which omits the pool name and causes a boot failure.
This is avoidable by calling invalidate_bdev() on each flush, which is a
simple way to ensure that all non-dirty pages are wiped. Since userland
tools rarely access vdevs directly, this should be a fancy noop >99.999%
of the time and have little impact on IO. We could have tried a finer
grained approach for the rare instances in which the vdevs are accessed
frequently by userland. However, that would require consideration of
corner cases and it is not worth the effort.
Memory-wise, it would have been better to use a Linux kernel API hook to
disable the buffer cache on such devices, but it provides us no way of
doing that, so we opt for this approach instead. We should revisit that
idea in the future when higher priority issues have been tackled.

Unfortunately, this change is an cheap attempt to work around a
pathological workload for the ARC. A "real" solution still needs to be
fleshed out, so this patch is intended to alleviate the situation in the
meantime. Let me try and describe the problem..
Data buffers residing in the dbuf hash table (dbuf cache) will keep a
hold on their respective dnode, this dnode will in turn keep a hold on
its backing dbuf (the physical block of the dnode object backing it).
Since the dnode has a hold on its backing dbuf, the arc buffer for this
dbuf is unevictable. What this essentially boils down to, "data" buffers
have the potential to pin "metadata" in the arc (as a result of these
dnode object buffers being unevictable).
This scenario becomes a real problem when the workload consists of many
small files (e.g. creating millions of 4K files). With this workload,
the arc's "arc_meta_used" space get filled up with buffers for any
resident directories as well as buffers for the objset's dnode object.
Once the "arc_meta_limit" is reached, the directory buffers will be
evicted and only the unevictable dnode object buffers will reside. If
the workload is simply creating new small files, these dnode object
buffers will never even be needed again, whereas the directory buffers
will be used constantly until the creates move to a new directory.
If "arc_c" and "arc_meta_limit" are sized appropriately, this
situation wont occur. This is because as the data buffers accumulate,
"arc_size" will eventually approach "arc_c" (before "arc_meta_used"
reaches "arc_meta_limit"); at that point the data buffers will be
evicted, which releases the hold on the dnode, which releases the hold
on the dnode object's dbuf, which allows that buffer to be evicted from
the arc in preference to more "useful" metadata.
So, to side step the issue, we simply need to ensure "arc_size" reaches
"arc_c" before "arc_meta_used" reaches "arc_meta_limit". In order to
pick a proper limit, we have to do some math.
To make things a little easier to follow, it is assumed that there will
only be a single data buffer per file (which is probably always the case
for "small" files anyways).
Based on the current internals of the arc, if N files residing in the
dbuf cache all pin a single dnode buffer (i.e. their dnodes all share
the same physical dnode object block), then the following amount of
"arc_meta_used" space will be consumed:
- 16K for the dnode object's block - [ 16384 bytes]
- N * sizeof(dnode_t) -------------- [ N * 928 bytes]
- (N + 1) * sizeof(arc_buf_t) ------ [(N + 1) * 72 bytes]
- (N + 1) * sizeof(arc_buf_hdr_t) -- [(N + 1) * 264 bytes]
- (N + 1) * sizeof(dmu_buf_impl_t) - [(N + 1) * 280 bytes]
To simplify, these N files will pin the following amount of
"arc_meta_used" space as unevictable:
Pinned "arc_meta_used" bytes = 16384 + N * 928 + (N + 1) * (72 + 264 + 280)
Pinned "arc_meta_used" bytes = 17000 + N * 1544
This pinned space is regardless of the size of the files, and is only
dependent on the number of pinned dnodes sharing a physical block
(i.e. N). For example, 32 512b files sharing a single dnode object
block would consume the same "arc_meta_used" space as 32 4K files
sharing a single dnode object block.
Now, given a files size of S, we can determine the total amount of
space that will be consumed in the arc:
Total = 17000 + N * 1544 + S * N
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
metadata data
So, given these formulas, we can generate a table which states the ratio
of pinned metadata to total arc (meta + data) using different values of
N (number of pinned dnodes per pinned physical dnode block) and S (size
of the file).

As you can see, if we wanted to support the absolute worst case of 1
dnode per physical dnode block and 512b files, we would have to set the
"arc_meta_limit" to something greater than 97.3132% of "arc_c_max". At
that point, it essentially defeats the purpose of having an
"arc_meta_limit" at all.
This patch changes the default value of "arc_meta_limit" to be 75% of
"arc_c_max", which should be good enough for "most" workloads (I think).

Previously, the "data_size" field in the arcstats kstat contained the
amount of cached "metadata" and "data" in the ARC. The problem is this
then made it difficult to extract out just the "metadata" size, or just
the "data" size.
To make it easier to distinguish the two values, "data_size" has been
modified to count only buffers of type ARC_BUFC_DATA, and "meta_size"
was added to count only buffers of type ARC_BUFC_METADATA. If one wants
the old "data_size" value, simply sum the new "data_size" and
"meta_size" values.

Issue #2110
When the arc is at it's size limit and a new buffer is added, data will
be evicted (or recycled) from the arc to make room for this new buffer.
As far as I can tell, this is to try and keep the arc from over stepping
it's bounds (i.e. keep it below the size limitation placed on it).
This makes sense conceptually, but there appears to be a subtle flaw in
its current implementation, resulting in metadata buffers being
throttled. When it evicts from the arc's lists, it also passes in a
"type" so as to remove a buffer of the same type that it is adding. The
problem with this is that once the size limit is hit, the ratio of
"metadata" to "data" contained in the arc essentially becomes fixed.
For example, consider the following scenario:
* the size of the arc is capped at 10G
* the meta_limit is capped at 4G
* 9G of the arc contains "data"
* 1G of the arc contains "metadata"
Now, every time a new "metadata" buffer is created and added to the arc,
an older "metadata" buffer(s) will be removed from the arc; preserving
the 9G "data" to 1G "metadata" ratio that was in-place when the size
limit was reached. This occurs even though the amount of "metadata" is
far below the "metadata" limit. This can result in the arc behaving
pathologically for certain workloads.
To fix this, the arc_get_data_buf function was modified to evict "data"
from the arc even when adding a "metadata" buffer; unless it's at the
"metadata" limit. In addition, arc_evict now more closely resembles
arc_evict_ghost; such that when evicting "data" from the arc, it may
make a second pass over the arc lists and evict "metadata" if it cannot
meet the eviction size the first time around.

To maintain a strict limit on the metadata contained in the arc, while
preventing the arc buffer headers from completely consuming the
"arc_meta_used" space, we need to evict metadata buffers from the arc's
ghost lists along with the regular lists.
This change modifies arc_adjust_meta such that it more closely models
the adjustments made in arc_adjust. "arc_meta_used" is used similarly to
"arc_size", and "arc_meta_limit" is used similarly to "arc_c".
Testing metadata intensive workloads (e.g. creating, copying, and
removing millions of small files and/or directories) has shown this
change to make a dramatic improvement to the hit rate maintained in the
arc. While I think there is still room for improvement, this is a big
step in the right direction.
In addition, zpl_free_cached_objects was made into a no-op as I'm not

Issue #2110
Setting a limit on the minimum value of "arc_p" has been shown to have
detrimental effects on the arc hit rate for certain "metadata" intensive
workloads. Specifically, this has been exhibited with a workload that
constantly dirties new "metadata" but also frequently touches a "small"
amount of mfu data (e.g. mkdir's).
What is seen is that the new anon data throttles the mfu list to a
negligible size (because arc_p > anon + mru in arc_get_data_buf), even
though the mfu ghost list receives a constant stream of hits. To remedy
this, arc_p is now allowed to drop to zero if the algorithm deems it
necessary.

Issue #2110
For specific workloads consisting mainly of mfu data and new anon data
buffers, the aggressive growth of arc_p found in the arc_get_data_buf()
function can have detrimental effects on the mfu list size and ghost
list hit rate.
Running a workload consisting of two processes:
* Process 1 is creating many small files
* Process 2 is tar'ing a directory consisting of many small files
I've seen arc_p and the mru grow to their maximum size, while the mru
ghost list receives 100K times fewer hits than the mfu ghost list.
Ideally, as the mfu ghost list receives hits, arc_p should be driven
down and the size of the mfu should increase. Given the specific
workload I was testing with, the mfu list size should grow to a point
where almost no mfu ghost list hits would occur. Unfortunately, this
does not happen because the newly dirtied anon buffers constancy drive
arc_p to its maximum value and keep it there (effectively prioritizing
the mru list and starving the mfu list down to a negligible size).
The logic to increment arc_p from within the arc_get_data_buf() function
was introduced many years ago in this upstream commit:
commit 641fbdae3a027d12b3c3dcd18927ccafae6d58bc

6505658 target MRU size (arc.p) needs to be adjusted more aggressively
and since I don't fully understand the motivation for the change, I am
reluctant to completely remove it.
As a way to test out how it's removal might affect performance, I've
disabled that code by default, but left it tunable via a module option.
Thus, if its removal is found to be grossly detrimental for certain
workloads, it can be re-enabled on the fly, without a code change.

ZoL commit 1421c89 unintentionally changed the disk format in a forward-
compatible, but not backward compatible way. This was accomplished by
adding an entry to zbookmark_t, which is included in a couple of
on-disk structures. That lead to the creation of pools with incorrect
dsl_scan_phys_t objects that could only be imported by versions of ZoL
containing that commit. Such pools cannot be imported by other versions
of ZFS or past versions of ZoL.
The additional field has been removed by the previous commit. However,
affected pools must be imported and scrubbed using a version of ZoL with
this commit applied. This will return the pools to a state in which they
may be imported by other implementations.
The 'zpool import' or 'zpool status' command can be used to determine if
a pool is impacted. A message similar to one of the following means your
pool must be scrubbed to restore compatibility.
$ zpool import
pool: zol-0.6.2-173
id: 1165955789558693437
state: ONLINE
status: Errata #1 detected.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier,
however there is a compatibility issue which should be corrected

If there was an async destroy in progress 'zpool import' will prevent

Pools affected by the damaged dsl_scan_phys_t can be detected prior to
an upgrade by running the following command as root:
zdb -dddd poolname 1 | grep -P '^\t\tscan = ' | sed -e 's;scan = ;;' | wc -w
Note that `poolname` must be replaced with the name of the pool you wish
to check. A value of 25 indicates the dsl_scan_phys_t has been damaged.
A value of 24 indicates that the dsl_scan_phys_t is normal. A value of 0
indicates that there has never been a scrub run on the pool.
The regression caused by the change to zbookmark_t never made it into a
tagged release, Gentoo backports, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or EPEL
stable respositorys. Only those using the HEAD version directly from
Github after the 0.6.2 but before the 0.6.3 tag are affected.
This patch does have one limitation that should be mentioned. It will not
detect errata #2 on a pool unless errata #1 is also present. It expected
this will not be a significant problem because pools impacted by errata #2
have a high probably of being impacted by errata #1.
End users can ensure they do no hit this unlikely case by waiting for all
asynchronous destroy operations to complete before updating ZoL. The
presence of any background destroys on any imported pools can be checked
by running `zpool get freeing` as root. This will display a non-zero
value for any pool with an active asynchronous destroy.
Lastly, it is expected that no user data has been lost as a result of
this erratum.

From time to time it may be necessary to inform the pool administrator
about an errata which impacts their pool. These errata will by shown
to the administrator through the 'zpool status' and 'zpool import'
output as appropriate. The errata must clearly describe the issue
detected, how the pool is impacted, and what action should be taken
to resolve the situation. Additional information for each errata will
be provided at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER.
To accomplish the above this patch adds the required infrastructure to
allow the kernel modules to notify the utilities that an errata has
been detected. This is done through the ZPOOL_CONFIG_ERRATA uint64_t
which has been added to the pool configuration nvlist.
To add a new errata the following changes must be made:
* A new errata identifier must be assigned by adding a new enum value
to the zpool_errata_t type. New enums must be added to the end to
preserve the existing ordering.
* Code must be added to detect the issue. This does not strictly
need to be done at pool import time but doing so will make the
errata visible in 'zpool import' as well as 'zpool status'. Once
detected the spa->spa_errata member should be set to the new enum.
* If possible code should be added to clear the spa->spa_errata member
once the errata has been resolved.
* The show_import() and status_callback() functions must be updated
to include an informational message describing the errata. This
should include an action message describing what an administrator
should do to address the errata.
* The documentation at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER must be
updated to describe the errata. This space can be used to provide
as much additional information as needed to fully describe the errata.
A link to this documentation will be automatically generated in the
output of 'zpool import' and 'zpool status'.

To resolve the issue the type has been changed to a uint64_t,

When transitioning current open TXG into QUIESCE state and opening
a new one txg_quiesce() calls gethrtime():
- to mark the birth time of the new TXG
- to record the SPA txg history kstat
- implicitely inside spa_txg_history_add()
These timestamps are practically the same, so that the first one
can be used instead of the other two. The only visible difference
is that inside spa_txg_history_add() the time spent in kmem_zalloc()
will be counted towards the opened TXG.
Since at this point the new TXG already exists (tx->tx_open_txg
has been already incremented) it is actually a correct accounting.
In any case this extra work is only happening when spa_txg_history
kstat is activated (i.e. zfs_txg_history > 0) and doesn't affect
the normal processing in any way.

In several cases when digging into kstats we can found two txgs
in SYNC state, e.g.

985456 258130867458851 O 0 0 0 ...
However only first txg (985454) is really syncing at this moment.
The other one (985455) marked as SYNCED is actually in a post-QUIESCED
state and waiting to start sync. So, the new TXG_STATE_WAIT_FOR_SYNC
state between TXG_STATE_QUIESCED and TXG_STATE_SYNCED was added to
reveal this situation.

Under Linux the zvol_set_volsize() function was originally written
to use dmu_objset_hold()/dmu_objset_rele(). Subsequently, the
dmu_objset_own()/dmu_objset_disown() interfaces were added but
the ZVOL code wasn't updated to take advantage of them.
This was never an issue but after the dsl_pool_config changes
the code now takes the config lock twice. The cleanest solution
is to shift to using dmu_objset_own() which takes a long hold

During the update process in sa_modify_attrs(), the sizes of existing

a variably-sized SA was being replaced neglected to increment the index
into sa_lengths[], so subsequent variable-length SAs would be rewritten
with the wrong length. This patch adds the missing increment operation
so all variably-sized SA entries are stored with their correct lengths.
Previously, a size-changing update of a variably-sized SA that occurred
when there were other variably-sized SAs in the bonus buffer would cause
the subsequent SAs to be corrupted. The most common case in which this
would occur is when a mode change caused the ZPL_DACL_ACES entry to
change size when a ZPL_DXATTR (SA xattr) entry already existed.

Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux. They

directly to the context options described in mount(8). When one of
these properties is set to something other than 'none'. That string
will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when
the filesystem is mounted.
For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set
to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows:
$ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media
This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that
rootcontext. It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext
with the -o option like this:
$ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media
By default all four contexts are set to 'none'. Further information

The comment in zfs_close states that "Under Linux the zfs_close() hook
is not symmetric with zfs_open()". This is not true. zfs_open/zfs_close
is associated with every successful struct file creation/deletion, which
should always be balanced.
Here is an example of what's wrong:
Process A B
open(O_SYNC)
z_sync_cnt = 1
open(O_SYNC)
z_sync_cnt = 2
close()
z_sync_cnt = 0
So z_sync_cnt is 0 even if B still has the file with O_SYNC.
Also moves the generic_file_open call before zfs_open to ensure that in
the case generic_file_open fails z_sync_cnt is not incremented. This
is safe because generic_file_open has no side effects.

2) Move Linux and FreeBSD specific ioctls in to their own reserved

new ioctls are added by either Illumos or FreeBSD. When an
ioctl is no longer needed it should be retired in place.

Early versions of ZFS coordinated the creation and destruction
of device minors from userspace. This was inherently racy and
in late 2009 these ioctl()s were removed leaving everything up
to the kernel. This significantly simplified the code.
However, we never picked up these changes in ZoL since we'd
already significantly adjusted this code for Linux. This patch
aims to rectify that by finally removing ZFC_IOC_*_MINOR ioctl()s
and moving all the functionality down in to the kernel. Since
this cleanup will change the kernel/user ABI it's being done
in the same tag as the previous libzfs_core ABI changes. This
will minimize, but not eliminate, the disruption to end users.
Once merged ZoL, Illumos, and FreeBSD will basically be back
in sync in regards to handling ZVOLs in the common code. While
each platform must have its own custom zvol.c implemenation the
interfaces provided are consistent.
NOTES:
1) This patch introduces one subtle change in behavior which
could not be easily avoided. Prior to this change callers
of 'zfs create -V ...' were guaranteed that upon exit the
/dev/zvol/ block device link would be created or an error
returned. That's no longer the case. The utilities will no
longer block waiting for the symlink to be created. Callers
are now responsible for blocking, this is why a 'udev_wait'
call was added to the 'label' function in scripts/common.sh.
2) The read-only behavior of a ZVOL now solely depends on if
the ZVOL_RDONLY bit is set in zv->zv_flags. The redundant
policy setting in the gendisk structure was removed. This
both simplifies the code and allows us to safely leverage
set_disk_ro() to issue a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent. See the
comment in the code for futher details on this.
3) Because __zvol_create_minor() and zvol_alloc() may now be
called in a sync task they must use KM_PUSHPAGE.

Previously, the atime-modifying vnops called ZFS_ACCESSTIME_STAMP()
followed by zfs_inode_update() to update the atime. However, since atimes
are cached in the znode for delayed writing, the zfs_inode_update()
function would effectively ignore the cached atime by reading it from
the SA.
This commit moves the updating of the atime in the inode into
zfs_tstamp_update_setup() which is called by the ZFS_ACCESSTIME_STAMP()
macro and eliminates the call to zfs_inode_update() in the atime-modifying
vnops.
It's possible the same thing could have been done directly in
zfs_inode_update() but I wasn't sure that it was safe in all cases where
it is called.
The effect is that atime handling is as if "strictatime" were selected;
even if the filesystem is mounted with "relatime".

Under the right conditions sa_find_sizes() will compute an incorrect

when the SA_HDR_SIZE_MATCH_LAYOUT() test returns false, and may lead
to corruption of SA data.
The bug presents itself when there are more than two variable-length SAs
of just the right size to fit in the bonus buffer of a dnode. The
existing logic fails to account for the SA header space needed to store
the sizes of all the variable-length SAs.
A reproducer was possible on Linux by setting the xattr=sa dataset
property and storing xattrs on symbolic links (Issue #1648). Note the
corrupt link target name:
$ zfs set xattr=sa tank/fish
$ cd /tank/fish

When creating a dataset with ZoL a zsb->z_shares_dir ZAP object
will not be created because shares are unimplemented. Instead ZoL
just sets zsb->z_shares_dir to zero to indicate there are no shares.
However, if you import a pool which was created with a different
ZFS implementation then the shares ZAP object may exist. Code was
added to handle this case but it clearly wasn't sufficiently tested
with other ZFS pools.
There was a bug in the zpl_shares_getattr() function which passed
the wrong inode to zfs_getattr_fast() for the case where are shares
ZAP object does exist. This causes an EIO to be returned to stat64()
which in turn causes 'zfs diff' to fail.

4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work
1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync
read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler
issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class
has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator
algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of
concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve
good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write
throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced
below) for more details.
2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and
txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays
when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of
dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When
there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be
delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait"
that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several
seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is
decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end
of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o
scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the
block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for
more details.
This diff has several other effects, including:
* the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed;
use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead.
* the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the
time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer
an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data.
Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is
always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal.
Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this.
* zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression,
checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks
to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is
rounded up).
--matt
APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler
The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem
with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of
i/os can see very long delays.
For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async
writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this
situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds
(typically 3 seconds).
If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must
service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we
enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in
the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because
there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we
must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes)
before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous
i/os (reads or ZIL writes).
Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
- zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because
object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at
allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved
from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two
new fields.
- vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue
(vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from.
This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used
for the same purpose.
- vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine
the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer
exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of
the five I/O classes described above.
- The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by
sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread
(curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in
Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called
zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other
downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic.
- These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added
to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page.

The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in
Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but
means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures.
The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most
likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM
sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to
2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes
it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable
zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this
solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a
reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected
systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults.
- Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration.
- Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take
effect.
- Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file
with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts
how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty
data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how
many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which
we expect to never happen).
- The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in
zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate().
- In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the
heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large
structures on the stack.

As part of zfs_sb_teardown() there is an assertion that all inodes
which are part of the zsb->z_all_znodes list have at least one
reference on them. This is always true for the standard unmount
case but there are two other cases where it is not strictly true.
* zfs_ioc_rollback() - This is the most common case and it results
from the fact that we aren't unmounting the filesystem. During a
normal unmount the MS_ACTIVE flag will be cleared on the super block
causing iput_final() to evict the inode when its reference count
drops to zero. However, during a rollback MS_ACTIVE remains set
since we're rolling back a live filesystem and need to preserve the
existing super block. This allows inodes with a zero reference count
to stay in the cache thereby violating the assertion.
* destroy_inode() / zfs_sb_teardown() - There exists a small race
between dropping the last reference on an inode and removing it from
the zsb->z_all_znodes list. This is unlikely to occur but could also
trigger the assertion which is incorrect. The inode may safely have
a zero reference count in this case.
Since allowing a zero reference count on the inode is expected and
safe for both of these cases the simplest thing to do is remove the
ASSERT. This code is only enabled for default builds so removing
this entirely is a very safe change.

Currently, using msync() results in the following code path:
sys_msync -> zpl_fsync -> filemap_write_and_wait_range -> zpl_writepages -> write_cache_pages -> zpl_putpage
In such a code path, zil_commit() is called as part of zpl_putpage().
This means that for each page, the write is handed to the DMU, the ZIL
is committed, and only then do we move on to the next page. As one might
imagine, this results in atrocious performance where there is a large
number of pages to write: instead of committing a batch of N writes,
we do N commits containing one page each. In some extreme cases this
can result in msync() being ~700 times slower than it should be, as well
as very inefficient use of ZIL resources.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the requested writes
are batched and then committed only once. Unfortunately, the
implementation is somewhat non-trivial because there is no way to run
write_cache_pages in SYNC mode (so that we get all pages) without
making it wait on the writeback tag for each page.
The solution implemented here is composed of two parts:
- I added a new callback system to the ZIL, which allows the caller to
be notified when its ITX gets written to stable storage. One nice
thing is that the callback is called not only in zil_commit() but
in zil_sync() as well, which means that the caller doesn't have to
care whether the write ended up in the ZIL or the DMU: it will get
notified as soon as it's safe, period. This is an improvement over
dmu_tx_callback_register() that was used previously, which only
supports DMU writes. The rationale for this change is to allow
zpl_putpage() to be notified when a ZIL commit is completed without
having to block on zil_commit() itself.
- zpl_writepages() now calls write_cache_pages in non-SYNC mode, which
will prevent (1) write_cache_pages from blocking, and (2) zpl_putpage
from issuing ZIL commits. zpl_writepages() will issue the commit
itself instead of relying on zpl_putpage() to do it, thus nicely
batching the writes. Note, however, that we still have to call
write_cache_pages() again in SYNC mode because there is an edge case
documented in the implementation of write_cache_pages() whereas it
will not give us all dirty pages when running in non-SYNC mode. Thus
we need to run it at least once in SYNC mode to make sure we honor
persistency guarantees. This only happens when the pages are
modified at the same time msync() is running, which should be rare.
In most cases there won't be any additional pages and this second
call will do nothing.
Note that this change also fixes a bug related to #907 whereas calling
msync() on pages that were already handed over to the DMU in a previous
writepages() call would make msync() block until the next TXG sync
instead of returning as soon as the ZIL commit is complete. The new
callback system fixes that problem.

During pool import stack overflows may still occur due to the
potentially deep recursion of traverse_visitbp(). This is most
likely to occur when additional layers are added to the block
device stack such as DM multipath. To minimize the stack usage
for this call path the following changes were made:
1) Added the keywork 'noinline' to the vdev_*_map_alloc() functions
to prevent them from being inlined by gcc. This reduced the
stack usage of vdev_raidz_io_start() from 208 to 128 bytes, and
vdev_mirror_io_start() from 144 to 128 bytes.
2) The 'saved_poolname' charater array in zfsdev_ioctl() was moved
from the stack to the heap. This reduced the stack usage of
zfsdev_ioctl() from 368 to 112 bytes.
3) The major saving came from slimming down traverse_visitbp() from
from 224 to 144 bytes. Since this function is called recursively
the 80 bytes saved per invokation adds up. The following changes
were made:
a) The 'hard' local variable was replaced by a TD_HARD() macro.
b) The 'pd' local variable was replaced by 'td->td_pfd' references.
c) The zbookmark_t was moved to the heap. This does cost us an
additional memory allocation per recursion by that cost should
still be minimal. The cost could be further reduced by adding
a dedicated zbookmark_t slab cache.
d) The variable declarations in 'if (BP_GET_LEVEL()) { }' were
restructured to use the minimum amount of stack. This includes
removing the 'cbp' local variable.
Overall for the offending use case roughly 1584 of total stack space
has been saved. This is enough to avoid overflowing the stack on
stock kernels with 8k stacks. See #1778 for additional details.

This preserves the existing behavior of minimal noise when running

3. In vdev_config_generate() the call to nvlist_alloc() was not

Issue #1775
Porting notes:
1. 13fe019870 introduced a merge conflict
in dsl_dataset_user_release_tmp where some variables were moved
outside of the preprocessor directive.
2. dea9dfefdd747534b3846845629d2200f0616dad made the previous merge
conflict worse by switching KM_SLEEP to KM_PUSHPAGE. This is notable
because this commit refactors the code, adding a new KM_SLEEP
allocation. It is not clear to me whether this should be converted
to KM_PUSHPAGE.
3. We had a merge conflict in libzfs_sendrecv.c because of copyright
notices.
4. Several small C99 compatibility fixed were made.

and the failure when we try to unmount a snapdir of a dataset,
so the changes to zfs_unmount_snap() were dropped in favor of
an altered Linux function that unconditionally returns 0.

Issue #1775
Porting notes:
1. This commit was so old that only two lines applied to the modern
code base.
Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity. This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting. usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.
Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires(). Specifically,
CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
interpreted as the expiration time itself.
CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

differed. The illumos fixes replace the ones previously made in

2. Part of the upstream patch made a small change to arc.c that might
address zfsonlinux/zfs#1334.
3. The initialization of aclsize in zfs_log_create() differs because
vsecp is a NULL pointer on ZFSOnLinux.
4. The changes to zfs_register_callbacks() were dropped because it

This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems. Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set. The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.
By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property. Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them. If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.
This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

Attempting to remove an xattr from a file which does not contain

in write operations to the pool in addition to the expected error

To prevent this the CREATE_XATTR_DIR flag is only passed in
zpl_xattr_set_dir() when setting a non-NULL xattr value. In
addition, zpl_xattr_set() is updated similarly such that it will
return immediately if passed an xattr name which doesn't exist
and a NULL value.

This does the following:
1. It creates a uint8_t type value, which is initialized to DT_DIR on
dot directories and ZFS_DIRENT_TYPE(zap.za_first_integer) otherwise.
This resolves a regression where we return unintialized values as the
directory entry type on dot directories. This was accidentally
introduced by commit 8170d28126.
2. It restructures zfs_readdir() code to use `uint64_t offset` like
Illumos instead of `loff_t *pos`. This resolves a regression where
negative ZAP cursors were treated as if they were dot directories.
3. It restructures the function to more closely match the structure of
zfs_readdir() on Illumos and removes the unused variable outcount, which
was only used on Illumos.

Currently there is no mechanism to inspect which dbufs are being
cached by the system. There are some coarse counters in arcstats
by they only give a rough idea of what's being cached. This patch
aims to improve the current situation by adding a new dbufs kstat.
When read this new kstat will walk all cached dbufs linked in to
the dbuf_hash. For each dbuf it will dump detailed information
about the buffer. It will also dump additional information about
the referenced arc buffer and its related dnode. This provides a
more complete view in to exactly what is being cached.
With this generic infrastructure in place utilities can be written
to post-process the data to understand exactly how the caching is
working. For example, the data could be processed to show a list
of all cached dnodes and how much space they're consuming. Or a
similar list could be generated based on dnode type. Many other
ways to interpret the data exist based on what kinds of questions
you're trying to answer.

This change is an attempt to add visibility in to how txgs are being
formed on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to txg. These entries are then exported through the kstat
interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each txg, the following information is exported:
* Unique txg number (uint64_t)
* The time the txd was born (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The current txg state ((O)pen/(Q)uiescing/(S)yncing/(C)ommitted)
* The number of reserved bytes for the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes read during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes written during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of read operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of write operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The time the txg was closed (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was quiesced (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was synced (hrtime_t)
Note that while the raw kstat now stores relative hrtimes for the
open, quiesce, and sync times. Those relative times are used to
calculate how long each state took and these deltas and printed by
output handlers.

This change is an attempt to add visibility into the arc_read calls
occurring on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to a call to arc_read. These entries are then exported
through the kstat interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each arc_read call, the following information is exported:
* A unique identifier (uint64_t)
* The time the entry was added to the list (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The objset ID (uint64_t)
* The object number (uint64_t)
* The indirection level (uint64_t)
* The block ID (uint64_t)
* The name of the function originating the arc_read call (char[24])
* The arc_flags from the arc_read call (uint32_t)
* The PID of the reading thread (pid_t)
* The command or name of thread originating read (char[16])
From this exported information one can see, in real time, exactly what
is being read, what function is generating the read, and whether or not
the read was found to be already cached.
There is still some work to be done, but this should serve as a good
starting point.
Specifically, dbuf_read's are not accounted for in the currently
exported information. Thus, a follow up patch should probably be added
to export these calls that never call into arc_read (they only hit the
dbuf hash table). In addition, it might be nice to create a utility
similar to "arcstat.py" to digest the exported information and display
it in a more readable format. Or perhaps, log the information and allow
for it to be "replayed" at a later time.

While porting Illumos #3537 I found that ks_lock member of kstat_t
structure is different between Illumos and SPL. It is a pointer to
the kmutex_t in Illumos, but the mutex lock itself in SPL.
Apparently Illumos kstat API allows consumer to override the lock
if required. With SPL implementation it is not possible anymore.
Things were alright until the first attempt to actually override
the lock. Porting of Illumos #3537 introduced such code for the
first time.
In order to provide the Solaris/Illumos like functionality we:
1. convert ks_lock to "kmutex_t *ks_lock"
2. create a new field "kmutex_t ks_private_lock"
3. On kstat_create() ks_lock = &ks_private_lock
Thus if consumer doesn't care we still have our internal lock in use.
If, however, consumer does care she has a chance to set ks_lock to
anything else before calling kstat_install().
The rest of the code will use ks_lock regardless of its origin.

Porting notes:
This fixes an upstream regression that was introduced in commit
zfsonlinux/zfs@e51be06697, which
ported the Illumos 3552 changes. This fix was added to upstream
rather quickly, but at the time of the port, no one spotted it and
the race was rare enough that it passed our regression tests. I
discovered this when comparing our metaslab.c to the illumos
metaslab.c.
Without this change it is possible for metaslab_group_alloc() to
consume a large amount of cpu time. Since this occurs under a
mutex in a rcu critical section the kernel will log this to the
console as a self-detected cpu stall as follows:

This reverts commit dba79fcbf2 in

of this approach is that arbitrary types can be added without the

Issue #296
The current implementation for displaying kstats of type KSTAT_TYPE_RAW
is rather crude. This patch attempts to enhance this handling by
allowing a kstat user to register formatting callbacks which can
optionally be used.
The callbacks allow the user to implement functions for interpreting
their data and transposing it into a character buffer. This buffer,
containing a string representation of the raw data, is then be displayed
through the current /proc textual interface.
Additionally the kstats are made writable because it's now possible
to provide a useful handler via the existing ks_update() interface.

It was observed that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() uses local_irq_save()
and saves the interrupt state in a local variable. This would
normally be fine except that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() calls
spl_cache_refill() which re-enables interrupts. It is then
possible that while interrupts are enabled the process is
rescheduled to a different cpu before being disable again.
This could result in us restoring the saved interrupt state
from one cpu to another.
What the consequences of this are aren't perfectly clear, but
this is clearly a bug and it has the potential to cause issues.
The code has been updated to just use local_irq_enable() and
local_irq_disable() to avoid this.

Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.
To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.
Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.
Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Because we need to be more frugal about our stack usage under
Linux. The __zio_execute() function was modified to re-dispatch
zios to a ZIO_TASKQ_ISSUE thread when we're in a context which
is known to be stack heavy. Those two contexts are the sync
thread and what ever thread is performing spa initialization.
Unfortunately, this change introduced an unlikely bug which can
result in a zio being re-dispatched indefinitely and never being
executed. If during spa initialization we handle a zio with
ZIO_PRIORITY_NOW it will be moved to the high priority queue.
When __zio_execute() is called again for the zio it will mis-
interpret the context and re-dispatch it again. The system
will get stuck spinning re-dispatching the zio and making no
forward progress.
To fix this rare issue __zio_execute() has been updated not
to re-dispatch zios on either the ZIO_TASKQ_ISSUE or
ZIO_TASKQ_ISSUE_HIGH task queues.
In practice this issue was rarely reported and can usually
be fixed by rebooting the system and importing the pool again.

Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
The original changeset mostly deals with mdb ::zio dcmd.
However, in order to provide the requested functionality
it modifies vdev and zio structures to keep the timing data
in nanoseconds instead of ticks. It is these changes that
are ported over in the commit in hand.
One visible change of this commit is that the default value
of 'zfs_vdev_time_shift' tunable is changed:
zfs_vdev_time_shift = 6
to
zfs_vdev_time_shift = 29
The original value of 6 was inherited from OpenSolaris and
was subotimal - since it shifted the raw tick value - it
didn't compensate for different tick frequencies on Linux and
OpenSolaris. The former has HZ=1000, while the latter HZ=100.
(Which itself led to other interesting performance anomalies
under non-trivial load. The deadline scheduler delays the IO
according to its priority - the lower priority the further
the deadline is set. The delay is measured in units of
"shifted ticks". Since the HZ value was 10 times higher,
the delay units were 10 times shorter. Thus really low
priority IO like resilver (delay is 10 units) and scrub
(delay is 20 units) were scheduled much sooner than intended.
The overall effect is that resilver and scrub IO consumed
more bandwidth at the expense of the other IO.)
Now that the bookkeeping is done is nanoseconds the shift
behaves correctly for any tick frequency (HZ).

When the meta limit is exceeded the ARC evicts some meta data
buffers from the mfu+mru lists. Unfortunately, for meta data
heavy workloads it's possible for these buffers to accumulate
on the ghost lists if arc_c doesn't exceed arc_size.
To handle this case arc_adjust_meta() has been entended to
explicitly evict meta data buffers from the ghost lists in
proportion to what was evicted from the mfu+mru lists.
If this is insufficient we request that the VFS release
some inodes and dentries. This will result in the release
of some dnodes which are counted as 'other' metadata.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
The default behavior of arc_evict_ghost() is to start by evicting
data buffers. Then only if the requested number of bytes to evict
cannot be satisfied by data buffers move on to meta data buffers.
This is ideal for honoring arc_c since it's preferable to keep the
meta data cached. However, if we're trying to free memory from the
arc to honor the meta limit it's a problem because we will need to
discard all the data to get to the meta data.
To avoid this issue the arc_evict_ghost() is now passed a fourth
argumented describing which buffer type to start with. The
arc_evict() function already behaves exactly like this for a
same reason so this is consistent with the existing code.
All existing callers have been updated to pass ARC_BUFC_DATA so
this patch introduces no functional change. New callers may
pass ARC_BUFC_METADATA to skip immediately to evicting meta
data leaving the normal data untouched.

The PaX team started constifying `struct ctl_table` as of their Linux
3.8.0 patchset. This lead to zfsonlinux/spl#225 and Gentoo bug #463012.
While investigating our options, I learned that there is a preprocessor
directive called CONSTIFY_PLUGIN that we can use to detect the presence
of the PaX changes and adjust the code accordingly.
The PaX Team had suggested adopting ctl_table_no_const, but supporting
older kernels required declaring that whenever the CONSTIFY_PLUGIN was
set. Future compiler changes could potentially cause that to break in
the presence of -Werror, so instead we define our own spl_ctl_table
typdef and use that. This should be compatible with all PaX kernels.
This introduces a Linux kernel version number check to prevent a build
failure on versions of the PaX GCC plugin that existed for kernels
before Linux 3.8.0. Affected versions of the PaX plugin will trigger a
compiler error when they see no_const cast on a non-constified
structure. Ordinarily, we would need an autotools check to catch that.
However, it is safe to do a kernel version check instead of an autotools
check in this specific instance because the affected versions of the PaX
GCC plugin only exist for Linux kernels before 3.8.0 and the
constification of `struct ctl_table` by the PaX developers only occurs
in Linux 3.8.0 and later.

zfs_readdir() is used by getdents(), which provides a list of all files
in directory, their types and an offset that be used by llseek() to seek
to the next directory entry.
On Solaris, the first two directory entries "." and ".." respectively
have offsets 1 and 2 on ZFS while the other files have rather large
numbers. Currently, ZFSOnLinux is giving "." offset 0 and all other
entries large numbers. The first entry's next entry offset points to
itself, which causes software that uses llseek() in conjunction with
getdents() for filesystem navigation to enter an infinite loop. The
offsets used for each directory entry are filesystem specific on all
platforms, so we can fix this by adopting the Solaris behavior.
Also, we currently report each directory entry as having type 0 (???).
This is not wrong, but we can do better. getdents() on Solaris does not
appear to provide this information, but it does on Linux and Mac OS X
do. ZFS provides easy access to type information in zfs_readdir(), so
this patch provides this as well.

When the property atime=on is set operations which only access

the inodes get evicted from the cache. Somewhat surprisingly
the source suggests that this isn't a ZoL specific issue.
This behavior may in part explain why zfs's reclaim logic has
been observed to be slow. When reclaiming inodes its likely
that they have a dirty atime which will force a write to disk.
Obviously we don't want to force a write to disk for every
atime update, these needs to be batched. The right way to
do this is to fully implement the .dirty_inode and .write_inode
callbacks. However, to do that right requires proper unification
of some fields in the znode/inode. Then we could just mark the
inode dirty and leave it to the VFS to call .write_inode
periodically.
Until that work gets done we have to settle for some middle
ground. The simplest and safest thing we can do for now is
to write the dirty inode on last close. This should prevent
the majority of inodes in the cache from having dirty atimes
and not drastically increase the number of writes.
Some rudimentally testing to show how long it takes to drop
500,000 inodes from the cache shows promising results. This
is as expected because we're no longer do lots of IO as part
of the eviction, it was done earlier during the close.
w/out patch: ~30s to drop 500,000 inodes with drop_caches.
with patch: ~3s to drop 500,000 inodes with drop_caches.

Because spl_slab_size() was always returning -ENOSPC for caches of
type KMC_OFFSLAB the cache could never be created. Additionally

Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both
in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and
l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only
cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's
state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious
deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr)
is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the
following simple way:
1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption
instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf.
2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if
the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory
its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to
arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE
in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only
state.
The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory
and tests were set upped in the following way:
1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool
storage and the other one was used as the cache device.
2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool
prepared in step 1 using iozone.
3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics
in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the
l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this:
l2_size 4 4403780608
l2_hdr_size 4 0
which was weird.
4. After applying this patch and reran step 1-3, the results were
as following:
l2_size 4 4306443264
l2_hdr_size 4 535600
these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the
sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by
l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all
blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little
bigger, as we can see.
Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to
examine what had happened. The script looked like this:
probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state")
{
if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only)
printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n")
}
It will print out some information each time we call funciton
arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I
gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran
into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was
the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into
arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined.

The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the
3.0 kernel was supposed to provide a safe way to call an arbitrary
function on all super blocks of a specific type. Unfortunately,
because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.
This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself. If the
iterate_supers_type() function happened to be processing the
removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.
The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head
to an hlist_node. However, to resolve the issue for existing
3.0 - 3.2 kernels we detect when a list_head is used. Then to
prevent the spinning from occurring the .next pointer is set to
the fs_supers list_head which ensures the iterate_supers_type()
function will always terminate.

It is possible for an automounted snapshot which is expiring to
deadlock with a manual unmount of the snapshot. This can occur
because taskq_cancel_id() will block if the task is currently
executing until it completes. But it will never complete because
zfsctl_unmount_snapshot() is holding the zsb->z_ctldir_lock which
zfsctl_expire_snapshot() must acquire.

We resolve the deadlock by dropping the zsb->z_ctldir_lock before
calling __zfsctl_unmount_snapshot(). The lock is only there to
prevent concurrent modification to the zsb->z_ctldir_snaps AVL
tree. Moreover, we're careful to remove the zfs_snapentry_t from
the AVL tree before dropping the lock which ensures no other tasks
can find it. On failure it's added back to the tree.

The read bandwidth of an N-way mirror can by increased by 50%,
and the IOPs by 10%, by more carefully selecting the preferred
leaf vdev.
The existing algorthm selects a perferred leaf vdev based on
offset of the zio request modulo the number of members in the
mirror. It assumes the drives are of equal performance and
that spreading the requests randomly over both drives will be
sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the
leaf vdevs being under utilized.
Utilization can be improved by preferentially selecting the leaf
vdev with the least pending IO. This prevents leaf vdevs from
being starved and compensates for performance differences between
disks in the mirror. Faster vdevs will be sent more work and
the mirror performance will not be limitted by the slowest drive.
In the common case where all the pending queues are full and there
is no single least busy leaf vdev a batching stratagy is employed.
Of the N least busy vdevs one is selected with equal probability
to be the preferred vdev for T microseconds. Compared to randomly
selecting a vdev to break the tie batching the requests greatly
improves the odds of merging the requests in the Linux elevator.
The testing results show a significant performance improvement
for all four workloads tested. The workloads were generated
using the fio benchmark and are as follows.
1) 1MB sequential reads from 16 threads to 16 files (MB/s).
2) 4KB sequential reads from 16 threads to 16 files (MB/s).
3) 1MB random reads from 16 threads to 16 files (IOP/s).
4) 4KB random reads from 16 threads to 16 files (IOP/s).

One of the side effects of calling zvol_create_minors() in
zvol_init() is that all pools listed in the cache file will
be opened. Depending on the state and contents of your pool
this operation can take a considerable length of time.
Doing this at load time is undesirable because the kernel
is holding a global module lock. This prevents other modules
from loading and can serialize an otherwise parallel boot
process. Doing this after module inititialization also
reduces the chances of accidentally introducing a race
during module init.
To ensure that /dev/zvol/<pool>/<dataset> devices are
still automatically created after the module load completes
a udev rules has been added. When udev notices that the
/dev/zfs device has been create the 'zpool list' command
will be run. This then will cause all the pools listed
in the zpool.cache file to be opened.
Because this process in now driven asynchronously by udev
there is the risk of problems in downstream distributions.

7-9 of 285 which try to reserve blocks first via fallocate(2)
and fail because fallocate(2) is not yet supported.
Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to
Linux 2.6.30, but we avoid the need for autotools check by
virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not
added until Linux 3.1.

Issue #229
The non-blocking allocation handlers in nvlist_alloc() would be
mistakenly assigned if any flags other than KM_SLEEP were passed.
This meant that nvlists allocated with KM_PUSHPUSH or other KM_*
debug flags were effectively always using atomic allocations.
While these failures were unlikely it could lead to assertions
because KM_PUSHPAGE allocations in particular are guaranteed to
succeed or block. They must never fail.
Since the existing API does not allow us to pass allocation
flags to the private allocators the cleanest thing to do is to
add a KM_PUSHPAGE allocator.

ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache.
On dcenter, we saw that we were caching ~256GB of metadata, while the
pool only had <4GB of metadata on disk. We were wasting about half the
system's RAM (252GB) on blocks that have been freed.
Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus will
eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory inefficiently for 2
reasons:
1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but will
be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed before it
(and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has at least some
chance of being accessed again.
2. We partition the ARC into several buckets:
user data that has been accessed only once (MRU)
metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU)
user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the primary
control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata is to
simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the past
(each bucket "evicts against" itself). The secondary control is to
evict data before evicting metadata.
Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly
containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has more
recently accessed, still-allocated blocks. Data in the useful bucket
(with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to data in
the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks).
On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the MFU
data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB. However,
the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB) was freed
blocks, and thus useless. Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket (230MB)
was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed.
The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more
investigation. However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should
reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.

such as ext+lvm+md+multipath require the majority of this stack to
avoid stack overflows.
To avoid this posibility the vn_rdwr() call in dump_bytes() has been
moved to the ZIO_TYPE_FREE, taskq. This ensures that all I/O will be
performed with the majority of the stack space available. This ends
up being very similiar to as if the I/O were issued via sys_write()

Notes for Linux port:
Earlier commit 08d08eb reduced contention on this taskq lock by simply
reducing the number of z_fr_iss threads from 100 to one-per-CPU. We
also optimized the taskq implementation in zfsonlinux/spl@3c6ed54.
These changes significantly improved unlink performance to acceptable
levels.
This patch further reduces time spent spinning on this lock by
randomly dispatching the work items over multiple independent task
queues. The Illumos ZFS developers stated that this lock contention
only arose after "3329 spa_sync() spends 10-20% of its time in
spa_free_sync_cb()" was landed. It's not clear if 3329 affects the
Linux port or not. I didn't see spa_free_sync_cb() show up in
oprofile sessions while unlinking large files, but I may just not
have used the right test case.
I tested unlinking a 1 TB of data with and without the patch and
didn't observe a meaningful difference in elapsed time. However,
oprofile showed that the percent time spent in taskq_thread() was
reduced from about 16% to about 5%. Aside from a possible slight
performance benefit this may be worth landing if only for the sake of
maintaining consistency with upstream.

The vdev_file.c implementation in this patch diverges significantly
from the upstream version. For consistenty with the vdev_disk.c
code the upstream version leverages the Illumos bio interfaces.
This makes sense for Illumos but not for ZoL for two reasons.
1) The vdev_disk.c code in ZoL has been rewritten to use the
Linux block device interfaces which differ significantly
from those in Illumos. Therefore, updating the vdev_file.c
to use the Illumos interfaces doesn't get you consistency
with vdev_disk.c.
2) Using the upstream patch as is would requiring implementing
compatibility code for those Solaris block device interfaces
in user and kernel space. That additional complexity could
lead to confusion and doesn't buy us anything.
For these reasons I've opted to simply move the existing vn_rdwr()
as is in to the taskq function. This has the advantage of being
low risk and easy to understand. Moving the vn_rdwr() function
in to its own taskq thread also neatly avoids the possibility of
a stack overflow.
Finally, because of the additional work which is being handled by
the free taskq the number of threads has been increased. The
thread count under Illumos defaults to 100 but was decreased to 2
in commit 08d08e due to contention. We increase it to 8 until
the contention can be address by porting Illumos #3581.

NOTES: This patch has been reworked from the original in the
following ways to accomidate Linux ZFS implementation
*) Usage of the cyclic interface was replaced by the delayed taskq
interface. This avoids the need to implement new compatibility
code and allows us to rely on the existing taskq implementation.
*) An extern for zfs_txg_synctime_ms was added to sys/dsl_pool.h
because declaring externs in source files as was done in the
original patch is just plain wrong.
*) Instead of panicing the system when the deadman triggers a
zevent describing the blocked vdev and the first pending I/O
is posted. If the panic behavior is desired Linux provides
other generic methods to panic the system when threads are
observed to hang.
*) For reference, to delay zios by 30 seconds for testing you can
use zinject as follows: 'zinject -d <vdev> -D30 <pool>'

A deadlock was accidentally introduced by commit e95853a which
can occur when the system is under memory pressure. What happens
is that while the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu
locks it enters memory reclaim. In the context of this memory
reclaim it then issues synchronous I/O to a ZVOL swap device.
Because the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks
a new txg cannot be opened to handle the I/O. Deadlock.
The fix is straight forward. Move the memory allocation outside
the critical region where the tx->tx_cpu locks are held. And for
good measure change the offending allocation to KM_PUSHPAGE to
ensure it never attempts to issue I/O during reclaim.

Previous patches have allowed you to set an increased ashift to
avoid doing 512b IO with 4k sector devices. However, it was not
possible to set the ashift lower than the reported physical sector
size even when a smaller logical size was supported. In practice,
there are several cases where settong a lower ashift is useful:
* Most modern drives now correctly report their physical sector
size as 4k. This causes zfs to correctly default to using a 4k
sector size (ashift=12). However, for some usage models this
new default ashift value causes an unacceptable increase in
space usage. Filesystems with many small files may see the
total available space reduced to 30-40% which is unacceptable.
* When replacing a drive in an existing pool which was created
with ashift=9 a modern 4k sector drive cannot be used. The
'zpool replace' command will issue an error that the new drive
has an 'incompatible sector alignment'. However, by allowing
the ashift to be manual specified as smaller, non-optimal,
value the device may still be safely used.

The new snapdev dataset property may be set to control the
visibility of zvol snapshot devices. By default this value
is set to 'hidden' which will prevent zvol snapshots from
appearing under /dev/zvol/ and /dev/<dataset>/. When set to
'visible' all zvol snapshots for the dataset will be visible.
This functionality was largely added because when automatic
snapshoting is enabled large numbers of read-only zvol snapshots
will be created. When creating these devices the kernel will
attempt to read their partition tables, and blkid will attempt
to identify any filesystems on those partitions. This leads
to a variety of issues:
1) The zvol partition tables will be read in the context of
the `modprobe zfs` for automatically imported pools. This
is undesirable and should be done asynchronously, but for
now reducing the number of visible devices helps.
2) Udev expects to be able to complete its work for a new
block devices fairly quickly. When many zvol devices are
added at the same time this is no longer be true. It can
lead to udev timeouts and missing /dev/zvol links.
3) Simply having lots of devices in /dev/ can be aukward from
a management standpoint. Hidding the devices your unlikely
to ever use helps with this. Any snapshot device which is
needed can be made visible by changing the snapdev property.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behavior for zvols which
was effectively 'snapdev=visible'.

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.

When vdev_disk.c was implemented for Linux we failed to handle the
reopen case. According to the vdev_reopen() comment leaf vdevs should
not be closed or opened when v->vdev_reopening is set. Under Linux
we would always close and open the device.
This issue was only noticed when a 'zpool scrub' command was run while
the leaf vdev device names in /dev/disk/by-vdev were missing. The
scrub command calls vdev_reopen() which caused the vdevs to be closed
but they couldn't be reopened due to the missing links. The result
was that all the vdevs were marked unavailable and the pool was
halted due to failmode=wait.

To determine whether the kernel is capable of handling empty barrier
BIOs, we check for the presence of the bio_empty_barrier() macro,
which was introduced in 2.6.24. If this macro is defined, then we can
flush disk vdevs; if it isn't, then flushing is disabled.
Unfortunately, the bio_empty_barrier() macro was removed in 2.6.37,
even though the kernel is still capable of handling empty barrier BIOs.
As a result, flushing is effectively disabled on kernels >= 2.6.37,
meaning that starting from this kernel version, zfs doesn't use
barriers to guarantee on-disk data consistency. This is quite bad and
can lead to potential data corruption on power failures.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the configure check for

The zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option was introduced
by commit 0c5493d470 to resolve a
memory miscalculation which could result in the txg_sync thread
spinning.
When this was first introduced the default behavior was left
unchanged until enough real world usage confirmed there were no
unexpected issues. We've now reached that point. Linux's
direct reclaim is working as expected so we're enabling this
behavior by default.
This helps pave the way to retire the spl_kmem_availrmem()
functionality in the SPL layer. This was the only caller.

A couple of assertions in spa.c were designed to prevent the use of

that all valid pools are less than SPA_VERSION. Since feature flags

non-inclusive will fail to trigger them. We switch to the new

Long ago infrastructure was added to the SPL to keep an internal
debug log of the last few seconds of activity. This was helpful
during the early development, but these days it is no longer
needed. I haven't had to resort to this debug buffer to resolve
an issue for several years now.
Today better more generic tools like systemtap and ftrace have
evolved to the point where they can be used for this purpose.
Along with the stack trace dumped to the system console, and in
rare cases a crash dump we almost always have the debug we need.
Therefore, I'm disabling the code which automatically dumps
this log to disk during an assertion except for the case where
spl_debug_panic_on_bug is set (disabled by default).
This should be viewed as a first step towards either.
a) Retiring this infrastructure and complexity entirely, or
b) Integrating this logging more properly with ftrace.
As part of this change I'm also removing from the packages the
undocumented spl utility which is used to decode the binary logs.

The way in which virtual box ab(uses) memory can throw off the
free memory calculation in arc_memory_throttle(). The result is
the txg_sync thread will effectively spin waiting for memory to
be released even though there's lots of memory on the system.
To handle this case I'm adding a zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable
module option largely for virtual box users. Setting this option
disables free memory checks which allows the txg_sync thread to
make progress.
By default this option is disabled to preserve the current
behavior. However, because Linux supports direct memory reclaim
it's doubtful throttling due to perceived memory pressure is ever
a good idea. We should enable this option by default once we've
done enough real world testing to convince ourselve there aren't

When a system attribute layout is created an inconsistency may occur
between the system attribute header (sa_hdr_phys_t) size and the
variable-sized attribute count stored in the layout. The inconsistency
results in the following failed assertion when SA_HDR_SIZE_MATCH_LAYOUT
returns false:
SPLError: 11315:0:(sa.c:1541:sa_find_idx_tab())
ASSERTION((IS_SA_BONUSTYPE(bonustype) && SA_HDR_SIZE_MATCH_LAYOUT(hdr,
tb)) || !IS_SA_BONUSTYPE(bonustype) || (IS_SA_BONUSTYPE(bonustype) &&
hdr->sa_layout_info == 0)) failed
The bug originates in this snippet from sa_find_sizes().
if (is_var_sz && var_size > 1) {
if (P2ROUNDUP(hdrsize + sizeof (uint16_t),
*total < full_space) {
hdrsize += sizeof (uint16_t);
This assumes that the current variable-sized attribute will be stored in
the current buffer and accounts for the space needed to store its size
in the sa_hdr_phys_t. However if the next attribute spills over we need
to store a blkptr_t at the end of the bonus buffer to point to the spill
block. If the current attribute is in the way of the blkptr_t then it
too will be relocated into the spill block. But since we've already
accounted for it in the header size we get the inconsistency described
above.
To avoid this, record the index of the last variable-sized attribute
that prompted a hdrsize increase, and reverse the increase if we later
determine that that attribute will be relocated to the spill block.

A rounding discrepancy exists between how sa_build_layouts() and
sa_find_sizes() calculate when the spill block needs to be kicked in.
This results in a narrow size range where sa_build_layouts() believes
there must be a spill block allocated but due to the discrepancy there
isn't. A panic then occurs when the hdl->sa_spill NULL pointer is
dereferenced.
The following reproducer for this bug was isolated:
truncate -s 128m /tmp/tank
zpool create tank /tmp/tank
zfs create -o xattr=sa tank/fish
ln -s `perl -e 'print "z" x 41'` /tank/fish/z
setfattr -hn trusted.foo -v`perl -e 'print "z"x45'` /tank/fish/z
This test results in roughly the following system attribute (SA)
layout:
176 bytes - "standard" SA's
41 bytes - name of symbolic link target
100 bytes - XDR encoded nvlist for xattr
---
317 bytes - total
Because 317 is less than DN_MAX_BONUSLEN (320), sa_find_sizes()
decides no spill block is needed. But sa_build_layouts() rounds 41 up
to 48 when computing the space requirements so it tries to switch to
the spill block.
Note that we were only able to reproduce this bug using a combination
of symbolic links and the Linux-specific xattr=sa dataset property.
So while this issue is not technically Linux-specific, it may be
difficult or impossible to hit the narrow size range needed to
reproduce it on other platforms.
To fix the discrepancy, round the running total in sa_find_sizes() up
to an 8-byte boundary before accounting for each SA, since this is how
they will be stored in the bonus and (possibly) spill buffers.
To make the intent of the code more clear, explicitly assert key
assumptions about expected alignment of data and whether spill-over
will occur.

Cache aging was implemented because it was part of the default Solaris
kmem_cache behavior. The idea is that per-cpu objects which haven't been
accessed in several seconds should be returned to the cache. On the other
hand Linux slabs never move objects back to the slabs unless there is
memory pressure on the system.
This behavior is now configurable through the 'spl_kmem_cache_expire'
module option. The value is a bit mask with the following meaning.
0x1 - Solaris style cache aging eviction is enabled.
0x2 - Linux style low memory eviction is enabled.
Both methods may be safely enabled simultaneously, but by default
both are disabled. It has never been clear if the kmem cache aging
(which has been around from day one) actually does any good. It has
however been the source of numerous bugs so I wouldn't mind retiring
it entirely.

This reverts commit 53c7411919
effectively reinstating the asynchronous xattr cleanup code.
These Linux changes were reverted because after testing

Unfortunately, the deadlock described in #1176 was a case
which wasn't considered. At mount zfs_unlinked_drain() can
occur which will unlink a list of znodes in effectively a
random order which isn't safe. The only reason it was safe
to originally revert this change was the we could guarantee
that the VFS would always prune the xattr leaves before the
parents.
Therefore, until we can cleanly resolve this deadlock for
all cases we need to keep this change in spite of the xattr

Issue #457
Rolling back a mounted filesystem with open file handles and
cached dentries+inodes never worked properly in ZoL. The
major issue was that Linux provides no easy mechanism for
modules to invalidate the inode cache for a file system.
Because of this it was possible that an inode from the previous
filesystem would not get properly dropped from the cache during
rolling back. Then a new inode with the same inode number would
be create and collide with the existing cached inode. Ideally
this would trigger an VERIFY() but in practice the error wasn't
handled and it would just NULL reference.
Luckily, this issue can be resolved by sprucing up the existing
Solaris zfs_rezget() functionality for the Linux VFS.
The way it works now is that when a file system is rolled back
all the cached inodes will be traversed and refetched from disk.
If a version of the cached inode exists on disk the in-core
copy will be updated accordingly. If there is no match for that
object on disk it will be unhashed from the inode cache and
marked as stale.
This will effectively make the inode unfindable for lookups
allowing the inode number to be immediately recycled. The inode
will then only be accessible from the cached dentries. Subsequent
dentry lookups which reference a stale inode will result in the
dentry being invalidated. Once invalidated the dentry will drop
its reference on the inode allowing it to be safely pruned from
the cache.
Special care is taken for negative dentries since they do not
reference any inode. These dentires will be invalidate based
on when they were added to the dentry cache. Entries added
before the last rollback will be invalidate to prevent them
from masking real files in the dataset.
Two nice side effects of this fix are:
* Removes the dependency on spl_invalidate_inodes(), it can now
be safely removed from the SPL when we choose to do so.
* zfs_znode_alloc() no longer requires a dentry to be passed.
This effectively reverts this portition of the code to its
upstream counterpart. The dentry is not instantiated more
correctly in the Linux ZPL layer.

Lookups in the snapshot control directory for an existing snapshot
fail with ENOENT if an earlier lookup failed before the snapshot was
created. This is because the earlier lookup causes a negative dentry

The bug can be reproduced as follows (the second ls should succeed):
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
$ zfs snap tank@s
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory

Commit a10287e00d slightly reworked
the slab ageing code such that it is no longer dependent on the
Linux delayed work queue interfaces.
This was good for portability and performance, but it requires us
to use the on_each_cpu() function to execute the spl_magazine_age()
function. That means that the function is now executing in interrupt
context whereas before it was scheduled in normal process context.
And that means we need to be slightly more careful about the locking
in the interrupt handler.
With the reworked code it's possible that we'll be holding the
skc->skc_lock and be interrupted to handle the spl_magazine_age()
IRQ. This will result in a deadlock and soft lockup errors unless
we're careful to detect the contention and avoid taking the lock in
the interupt handler. So that's what this patch does.
Alternately, (and slightly more conventionally) we could have used
spin_lock_irqsave() to prevent this race entirely but I'd perfer to
avoid disabling interrupts as much as possible due to performance
concerns. There is absolutely no penalty for us not aging objects
out of the magazine due to contention.

This usage is in fact safe, since the ASSERT ensures the index does

falls within the array bounds so it issues a warning. To avoid this,
initialize i to zero to make gcc happy but skip the elements before

This change isn't in any way harmful but it does conflict with
a required change to properly account from I/O wait time.

try to take the spa_namespace_lock(). Normally it will not
be contended and this is safe because spa_open_common() handles
the case where the caller already holds the spa_namespace_lock.
When it is contended we risk a lock inversion if we were to
block waiting for the lock. Luckily, the __blkdev_get()
function allows us to return -ERESTARTSYS which will result in
bdev->bd_mutex being dropped, reacquired, and fops->open() being
called again. This process can be repeated safely until both
locks are acquired.

It's my understanding that the zfs_fsyncer_key TSD was added as
a performance omtimization to reduce contention on the zl_lock
from zil_commit(). This issue manifested itself as very long
(100+ms) fsync() system call times for fsync() heavy workloads.
However, under Linux I'm not seeing the same contention that
was originally described. Therefore, I'm removing this code
in order to ween ourselves off any dependence on TSD. If the
original performance issue reappears on Linux we can revisit
fixing it without resorting to TSD.
This just leaves one small ZFS TSD consumer. If it can be
cleanly removed from the code we'll be able to shed the SPL
TSD implementation entirely.

The current state of udev and devicer-mapper devices makes it difficult
to construct a mapping of DM partitions and their underlying DM device.
For example, with a /dev directory with the following contents:
$ ls -d /dev/dm-*
/dev/dm-0
/dev/dm-1
/dev/dm-2
/dev/dm-3
it is not immediately apparent if these are completely separate devices,
or partitions and real devices intermixed. In contrast, SCSI devices
would appear as so:
$ ls -d /dev/sd*
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1
Here, one can immediately determine that there are two devices (sda and
sdb), each containing a single partition. The lack of a predictable and
consistent mapping from DM devices to DM device partitions makes it
difficult for user space to process these devices the same way it does
SCSI devices.
As a result, the ZFS utilities do not partition DM devices, and instead
set the "vdev_wholedisk" label to 0 and treat them as partitions. This
has the side effect that, even if ZFS has sole ownership of the device,
the IO scheduler will not be modified because it is treated as a
partition.
This change adds an exception for DM devices in vdev_elevator_switch,
allowing the elevator to be modified even though the "vdev_wholedisk"
property is not set.

Linux kernel commit d8e794d accidentally broke the delayed work

the compatibility code to use this kernel interface has always

Shift the cache and magazine ageing functionality over to the new
delayed taskq interfaces. This allows us to abandon the kernels
delayed work queue interface and all the compatibility code it
requires.
However, the delayed taskq interface does not allow us to schedule
a task for a specfic cpu so the ageing code was slightly reworked.
The magazine ageing delay has been directly linked to the cache
ageing function. The spl_cache_age() function invokes on_each_cpu()
in order to run spl_magazine_age() on each cpu. It then blocks
waiting for them to complete and promptly reclaims any free slabs.
When restructing the code wasn't the primary goal I think the
new code is far more understable and maintainable. It also should
help minimize magazine thrashing because free slabs are immediately
released after the magazine is aged.

Add a test case for taskq_cancel_id() to verify it is working
properly. Just like taskq:delay we start by dispatching 100
tasks. However this time 1/3 of the tasks use taskq_dispatch()
and will be run immediately, and 2/3 use taskq_dispatch_delay().
The idea is to create a busy taskq with both active, pending,
and delayed tasks.
After all the items have been successfully dispatched the test
begins randomly canceling known task ids. It will do this for
5 seconds randomly canceling a task id and then sleeping for a
few milliseconds. The task being canceled may have already run,
still be on the pending list, or may be currently being executed
by a worker thread. The idea is to ensure we catch any subtle
race conditions.
Once all the non-canceled tasks have completed we cross check
the number of tasks which ran with the number of tasks which
were successfully canceled. Additionally, we verify that the
taskq_cancel_id() function never blocks longer than needed.
This time is bounded by the longest run time of the task which
was dispatched.

Add the ability to dispatch a delayed task to a taskq. The desired
behavior is for the task to be queued but not executed by a worker
thread until the expiration time is reached. To achieve this two
new functions were added.
* taskq_dispatch_delay() -
This function behaves exactly like taskq_dispatch() however it
takes a third 'expire_time' argument. The caller should pass the
desired time the task should be executed as an absolute value in
jiffies. The task is guarenteed not to run before this time, it
may run slightly latter if all the worker threads are busy.
* taskq_cancel_id() -
Given a task id attempt to cancel the task before it gets executed.
This is primarily useful for canceling delay tasks but can be used for
canceling any previously dispatched task. There are three possible
return values.
0 - The task was found and canceled before it was executed.
ENOENT - The task was not found, either it was already run or an
invalid task id was supplied by the caller.
EBUSY - The task is currently executing any may not be canceled.
This function will block until the task has been completed.
* taskq_wait_all() -
The taskq_wait_id() function was renamed taskq_wait_all() to more
clearly reflect its actual behavior. It is only curreny used by
the splat taskq regression tests.
* taskq_wait_id() -
Historically, the only difference between this function and
taskq_wait() was that you passed the task id. In both functions you
would block until ALL lower task ids which executed. This was
semantically correct but could be very slow particularly if there
were delay tasks submitted.
To better accomidate the delay tasks this function was reimplemnted.
It will now only block until the passed task id has been completed.
This is actually a fairly low risk change for a few reasons.
* Only new ZFS callers will make use of the new interfaces and
very little common code was changed to support the new functions.
* The existing taskq_wait() implementation was not changed just
slightly refactored.
* The newly optimized taskq_wait_id() implementation was never
used by ZFS we can't accidentally introduce a new bug there.
NOTE: This functionality does not exist in the Illumos taskqs.

The taskq:front test has a race condition where task 4 and 8
race to complete, due to an incorrectly calculated set of delay
"factors" (T). If task 4 wins and actually finishes first, the
verification of the order of completion will fail.
The delays calculated to order task completion do not take into
account the terminal line in the table, and so are all off by
a factor of 1. This causes all the tasks in all queues to finish
sooner than expected and the accumulated error is the root cause
of tasks 4 and 8 racing to complete first. Before the change the
"actual" table looks like I commented in #130.
I changed:
* the table in the comment to correctly reflect the test and the
factor timings needed.
* the individual task delay factors of T so that ONLY 1 task will
every 2T. (on average)
* 1T was reduced from 100ms to 50ms. This halves the duration of
the test and makes any remaining raciness more likely to cause
failures, but it did not cause the test to fail.
* simplified the delay factor logic by using a table look-up
instead of a switch.
* Added a "task started" message so that with -v it is possible
to see the order tasks are started.
* Moved the "task completed" message inside the spinlock so that
with -v the message truly reflects the absolute order of
completion as guaranteed by the spinlock.

Unlike normal file or directory znodes, an xattr znode is
guaranteed to only have a single parent. Therefore, we can
take a refernce on that parent if it is provided at create
time and cache it. Additionally, we take care to cache it
on any subsequent zfs_zaccess() where the parent is provided
as an optimization.
This allows us to avoid needing to do a zfs_zget() when
setting up the SELinux security xattr in the create path.
This is critical because a hash lookup on the directory
will deadlock since it is locked.
The zpl_xattr_security_init() call has also been moved up
to the zpl layer to ensure TXs to create the required
xattrs are performed after the create TX. Otherwise we
run the risk of deadlocking on the open create TX.
Ideally the security xattr should be fully constructed
before the new inode is unlocked. However, doing so would
require far more extensive changes to ZFS.
This change may also have the benefitial side effect of
ensuring xattr directory znodes are evicted from the cache
before normal file or directory znodes due to the extra
reference.

Allowing the spl_cache_grow_work() function to reclaim inodes
allows for two unlikely deadlocks. Therefore, we clear __GFP_FS
for these allocations. The two deadlocks are:
* While holding the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj1) lock a function
calls kmem_cache_alloc() which happens to need to allocate a
new slab. To allocate the new slab we enter FS level reclaim
and attempt to evict several inodes. To evict these inodes we
need to take the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj2) lock and it
just happens that obj1 and obj2 use the same hashed lock.
* Similar to the first case however instead of getting blocked
on the hash lock we block in txg_wait_open() which is waiting
for the next txg which isn't coming because the txg_sync
thread is blocked in kmem_cache_alloc().
Note this isn't a 100% fix because vmalloc() won't strictly
honor __GFP_FS. However, it practice this is sufficient because
several very unlikely things must all occur concurrently.

When using a zvol to back a btrfs filesystem the btrfs mount
would hang. This was due to the bio completion callback used
in btrfs assuming that lower level drivers would never modify
the bio->bi_io_vecs after they were submitted via bio_submit().
If they are modified btrfs will miscalculate which pages need
to be unlocked resulting in a hang.
It's worth mentioning that other file systems such as ext[234]
and xfs work fine because they do not make the same assumption
in the bio completion callback.
The most straight forward way to fix the issue is to present
the semantics expected by btrfs. This is done by cloning the
bios attached to each request and then using the clones bvecs
to perform the required accounting. The clones are freed after
each read/write and the original unmodified bios are linked back

Because only virtual slabs may have emergency objects and these

In the initial implementation emergency objects were tracked on a
per-cache list. The assumption was that under normal operation we
would never allocate more than a handful of these objects. So the
cost of walking the list during free was expected to be negligible.
However real world usage has shown that emergency objects tend to
be allocated in batches. A deadlock will be detected and several
thousand emergency objects will be allocated before the original
blocked slab allocation can complete.
Therefore the original list has been replaced by a red black tree
which is sorted by the memory address of each allocated object.
This bounds the worst case insertion and removal time to O(log n)
which minimize contention on the assoicated spin lock.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
The entire goal of performing the slab allocations asynchronously
is to be able to detect when a vmalloc() deadlocks. In this case,
and only this case, do we want to start allocating emergency objects.
The trick here is to minimize false positives because the overhead
of tracking emergency objects is far higher than normal slab objects.
With that goal in mind the code was reworked to be less sensitive
to slow allocations by increasing the wait time. Once a cache is
is marked deadlocked all subsequent allocations which can not be
satisfied with existing cache objects will immediately allocate new
emergency objects. This behavior persists until the asynchronous
allocation completes and clears the deadlocked flag.
The result of these tweaks is that far fewer emergency objects
get created which is important because this minimizes the cost of
releasing them latter in kmem_cache_free().

The interface for the ddt_zap_count() function assumes it can
never fail. However, internally ddt_zap_count() is implemented
with zap_count() which can potentially fail. Now because there
was no way to return the error to the caller a VERIFY was used
to ensure this case never happens.
Unfortunately, it has been observed that pools can be damaged in
such a way that zap_count() fails. The result is that the pool can
not be imported without hitting the VERIFY and crashing the system.
This patch reworks ddt_object_count() so the error can be safely
caught and returned to the caller. This allows a pool which has
be damaged in this way to be safely rewound for import.

Issue #1065
Move the kstat ks_update() callback under the ks_lock. This
enables dynamically sized kstats without modification to the
kstat API.
* Create a kstat with the KSTAT_FLAG_VIRTUAL flag.
* Register a ->ks_update() callback which does:
o Frees any existing ks_data buffer.
o Set ks_data_size to the kstat array size.
o Set ks_data to an allocated buffer of size ks_data_size
o Populate the array of buffers with the required data.
The buffer allocated in the ks_update() callback is guaranteed
to remain allocated and valid while the proc sequence handler
iterates over the buffer. The lock will not be dropped until
kstat_seq_stop() function is run making it safe for concurrent
access. To allow the ks_update() callback to perform memory
allocations the lock was changed to a mutex.

Commit torvalds/linux@b8318b0 moved the __clear_close_on_exec()
function out of include/linux/fdtable.h and in to fs/file.c
making it unavailable to the SPL.
Now as it turns out we only used this function to tear down
some test infrastructure for the vn_getf()/vn_releasef() SPLAT
regression tests. Rather than implement even more autoconf
compatibilty code to handle this we just remove the test case.
This also allows us to drop three existing autoconf tests.
This does mean the SPLAT tests will no longer verify these
functions but historically they have never been a problem.
And if we feel we absolutely need this test coverage I'm
sure a more portable version of the test case could be added.

In the current code, logbias=throughput implies the following:
1) All synchronous writes are logged in indirect mode.
2) The slog is not used.
(1) makes sense because it avoids writing the data twice, which is
obviously a good thing when the user wants maximum pool throughput.
(2), however, is a surprising decision. Considering all writes are
indirect, the log record doesn't contain the actual data, only pointers
to DMU blocks. As a result, log records written in logbias=throughput
mode are quite small, and as such, it doesn't make any sense to write
them to the main pool since slogs are usually optimized for small
synchronous writes.
In fact, the current behavior is actually harmful for performance,
because log blocks and data blocks from dmu_sync() seldom have the same
allocation size and as a result are usually allocated from different
metaslabs. This means that if a spindle has to write both log blocks and
DMU blocks (which is likely to happen under heavy load), it will have to
seek between the two. Allocating the log blocks from the slog pool
instead of the main pool avoids these unnecessary seeks.
This commit makes ZFS use the slog on datasets with logbias=throughput.
Real-life performance testing shows a 50% synchronous write performance
increase with some large commit sizes, and no negative effect in other
cases.

Issue #1013
Currently, ZIL blocks are spread over vdevs using hint block pointers
managed by the ZIL commit code and passed to metaslab_alloc(). Spreading
log blocks accross vdevs is important for performance: indeed, using
mutliple disks in parallel decreases the ZIL commit latency, which is
the main performance metric for synchronous writes. However, the current
implementation suffers from the following issues:
1) It would be best if the ZIL module was not aware of such low-level
details. They should be handled by the ZIO and metaslab modules;
2) Because the hint block pointer is managed per log, simultaneous
commits from multiple logs might use the same vdevs at the same time,
which is inefficient;
3) Because dmu_write() does not honor the block pointer hint, indirect
writes are not spread.
The naive solution of rotating the metaslab rotor each time a block is
allocated for the ZIL or dmu_sync() doesn't work in practice because the
first ZIL block to be written is actually allocated during the previous
commit. Consequently, when metaslab_alloc() decides the vdev for this
block, it will do so while a bunch of other allocations are happening at
the same time (from dmu_sync() and other ZILs). This means the vdev for
this block is chosen more or less at random. When the next commit
happens, there is a high chance (especially when the number of blocks
per commit is slightly less than the number of the disks) that one disk
will have to write two blocks (with a potential seek) while other disks
are sitting idle, which defeats spreading and increases the commit
latency.
This commit introduces a new concept in the metaslab allocator:
fastwrites. Basically, each top-level vdev maintains a counter
indicating the number of synchronous writes (from dmu_sync() and the
ZIL) which have been allocated but not yet completed. When the metaslab
is called with the FASTWRITE flag, it will choose the vdev with the
least amount of pending synchronous writes. If there are multiple vdevs
with the same value, the first matching vdev (starting from the rotor)
is used. Once metaslab_alloc() has decided which vdev the block is
allocated to, it updates the fastwrite counter for this vdev.
The rationale goes like this: when an allocation is done with
FASTWRITE, it "reserves" the vdev until the data is written. Until then,
all future allocations will naturally avoid this vdev, even after a full
rotation of the rotor. As a result, pending synchronous writes at a
given point in time will be nicely spread over all vdevs. This contrasts
with the previous algorithm, which is based on the implicit assumption
that blocks are written instantaneously after they're allocated.
metaslab_fastwrite_mark() and metaslab_fastwrite_unmark() are used to
manually increase or decrease fastwrite counters, respectively. They
should be used with caution, as there is no per-BP tracking of fastwrite
information, so leaks and "double-unmarks" are possible. There is,
however, an assert in the vdev teardown code which will fire if the
fastwrite counters are not zero when the pool is exported or the vdev
removed. Note that as stated above, marking is also done implictly by
metaslab_alloc().
ZIO also got a new FASTWRITE flag; when it is used, ZIO will pass it to
the metaslab when allocating (assuming ZIO does the allocation, which is
only true in the case of dmu_sync). This flag will also trigger an
unmark when zio_done() fires.
A side-effect of the new algorithm is that when a ZIL stops being used,
its last block can stay in the pending state (allocated but not yet
written) for a long time, polluting the fastwrite counters. To avoid
that, I've implemented a somewhat crude but working solution which
unmarks these pending blocks in zil_sync(), thus guaranteeing that
linguering fastwrites will get pruned at each sync event.
The best performance improvements are observed with pools using a large
number of top-level vdevs and heavy synchronous write workflows
(especially indirect writes and concurrent writes from multiple ZILs).
Real-life testing shows a 200% to 300% performance increase with
indirect writes and various commit sizes.

The kern_path_parent() function was removed from Linux 3.6 because
it was observed that all the callers just want the parent dentry.
The simpler kern_path_locked() function replaces kern_path_parent()
and does the lookup while holding the ->i_mutex lock.
This is good news for the vn implementation because it removes the
need for us to handle the locking. However, it makes it harder to
implement a single readable vn_remove()/vn_rename() function which
is usually what we prefer.
Therefore, we implement a new version of vn_remove()/vn_rename()
for Linux 3.6 and newer kernels. This allows us to leave the
existing working implementation untouched, and to add a simpler
version for newer kernels.
Long term I would very much like to see all of the vn code removed

Currently, the size of read and write requests on vdevs is aligned
according to the vdev's ashift, allocating a new ZIO buffer and padding
if need be.
This makes sense for write requests to prevent read/modify/write if the
write happens to be smaller than the device's internal block size.
For reads however, the rationale is less clear. It seems that the
original code aligns reads because, on Solaris, device drivers will
outright refuse unaligned requests.
We don't have that issue on Linux. Indeed, Linux block devices are able
to accept requests of any size, and take care of alignment issues
themselves.
As a result, there's no point in enforcing alignment for read requests
on Linux. This is a nice optimization opportunity for two reasons:
- We remove a memory allocation in a heavily-used code path;
- The request gets aligned in the lowest layer possible, which shrinks
the path that the additional, useless padding data has to travel.
For example, when using 4k-sector drives that lie about their sector
size, using 512b read requests instead of 4k means that there will
be less data traveling down the ATA/SCSI interface, even though the
drive actually reads 4k from the platter.
The only exception is raidz, because raidz needs to read the whole
allocated block for parity.
This patch removes alignment enforcement for read requests, except on
raidz. Note that we also remove an assertion that checks that we're
aligning a top-level vdev I/O, because that's not the case anymore for
repair writes that results from failed reads.

There are currently three vmem_size() consumers all of which are
part of the ARC implemention. However, since the expected behavior
of the Linux and Solaris virtual memory subsystems are so different
the behavior in each of these instances needs to be reevaluated.
* arc_evict_needed() - This is actually dead code. Arena support
was never added to the SPL and zio_arena is always NULL. This
support isn't needed so we simply remove this dead code.
* arc_memory_throttle() - On Solaris where virtual memory constitutes
almost all of the address space we can reasonably expect there to be
a fairly large amount free. However, on Linux by default we only
have about 100MB total and that's heavily used by the ARC. So the
expectation on Linux is that this will usually be a small value.
Therefore we remove the vmem_size() check for i386 systems because
the expectation is that it will be less than the zfs_write_limit_max.
* arc_init() - Here vmem_size() is used to initially size the ARC.
Since the ARC is currently backed by the virtual address space it
makes sense to use this as a limit on the ARC for 32-bit systems.
This code can be removed when the ARC is backed by the page cache.

Commit c409e4647f introduced a
number of module parameters. This required several types to be
changed to accomidate the required module parameters Linux macros.
Unfortunately, arc.c contained its own extern definition of the
zfs_write_limit_max variable and its type was not updated to be
consistent with its dsl_pool.c counterpart. If the variable had
been properly marked extern in a common header, then gcc would
have generated a warning and this would not have slipped through.
The result of this was that the ARC unconditionally expected
zfs_write_limit_max to be 64-bit. Unfortunately, the largest size
integer module parameter that Linux supports is unsigned long, which
varies in size depending on the host system's native word size. The
effect was that on 32-bit systems, ARC incorrectly performed 64-bit
operations on a 32-bit value by reading the neighboring 32 bits as
the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit value.
We correct that by changing the extern declaration to use the unsigned
long type and move these extern definitions in to the common arc.h
header. This should make ARC correctly treat zfs_write_limit_max as a
32-bit value on 32-bit systems.

This adds an interface to "punch holes" (deallocate space) in VFS
files. The interface is identical to the Solaris VOP_SPACE interface.
This interface is necessary for TRIM support on file vdevs.
This is implemented using Linux fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), which
was introduced in 2.6.38. For a brief time before 2.6.38 this was done
using the truncate_range inode operation, which was quickly deprecated.
This patch only supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
This adds support for the truncate_range() inode operation to
VOP_SPACE() for file hole punching. This API is deprecated and removed
in 3.5, so it's only useful for old kernels.
On tmpfs, the truncate_range() inode operation translates to
shmem_truncate_range(). Unfortunately, this function expects the end
offset to be inclusive and aligned to the end of a page. If it is not,
the kernel will stop with a BUG_ON().
This patch fixes the issue by adapting to the constraints set forth by
shmem_truncate_range().

Unfortunately, this is not optimal for requests that are not aligned to

dnode_free_range() will zero out the unaligned parts. Not only is this
useless since we are not freeing any space by doing so, it is also slow
because it translates to a read-modify-write operation.
This patch fixes the issue by rounding up the discard start offset to
the next volume block boundary, and rounding down the discard end
offset to the previous volume block boundary.

When zfs_replay_write() replays TX_WRITE records from ZIL
it calls zpl_write_common() to perform the actual write.
zpl_write_common() returns the number of bytes written
(similar to write() system call) or an (negative) error.
However, the code expects the positive return value to be

the error code delivered further. At this point the ZIL processing
is aborted with famous "ZFS replay transaction error 5" error
message given to the message buffer.

The 'zfs destroy' changes in 330d06f disrupted how zvol devices
get removed on ZoL. However, it basically boils down to the
fact that we are no longer reliably calling zvol_remove_minor()

Therefore we add the missing call and handle things similarly
to the existing zfs_unmount_snap() case. Ideally we would check
if this is of type DMU_OST_ZFS or DMU_OST_ZVOL and just do the
right thing as in zfs_ioc_destroy(). However, it looks like

There still appears to be a race in the condition variables where
->cv_mutex is set after we are woken from the cv_destroy wait queue.
This might be possible when cv_destroy() is called immediately after
cv_broadcast(). We had some troubles with this previously but
there may still be a small race, see commit d599e4f.
The following patch closes one small race and improves the ASSERTs
such that they log the offending value.

zfsonlinux/zfs#943
The workspace required by zlib to perform compression is roughly
512MB (order-7). These allocations are so large that we should
never attempt to directly kmalloc an emergency object for them.
It is far preferable to asynchronously vmalloc an additional slab
in case it's needed. Then simply block waiting for an existing
object to be released or for the new slab to be allocated.
This can be accomplished by disabling emergency slab objects by
passing the KMC_NOEMERGENCY flag at slab creation time.

Buffers for the ARC are normally backed by the SPL virtual slab.
However, if memory is low, AND no slab objects are available,
AND a new slab cannot be quickly constructed a new emergency
object will be directly allocated.
These objects can be as large as order 5 on a system with 4k
pages. And because they are allocated with KM_PUSHPAGE, to
avoid a potential deadlock, they are not allowed to initiate I/O
to satisfy the allocation. This can result in the occasional
allocation failure.
However, since these allocations are allowed to block and
perform operations such as memory compaction they will eventually
succeed. Since this is not unexpected (just unlikely) behavior
this patch disables the warning for the allocation failure.

When writing via ->writepage() the writeback bit was always cleared

data is already safe on stable storage.

After the emergency slab objects were merged I started observing
timeout failures in the kmem:slab_overcommit test. These were
due to the ineffecient way the slab_overcommit reclaim function
was implemented. And due to the additional cost of potentially
allocating ten of thousands of emergency objects and tracking
them on a single list.
This patch addresses the first concern by enhansing the test
case to trace all of the allocations objects as a linked list.
This allows for a cleaner version of the reclaim function to
simply release SPLAT_KMEM_OBJ_RECLAIM objects.
Since this touches some common code all the tests which share
these data structions were also updated. After making these
changes slab_overcommit is reliably passing. However, there
is certainly additional cleanup which could be done here.

Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.
* The txg_sync thread
* The zvol write/discard threads
* The zpl_putpage() VFS callback
This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages. If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system. To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.
Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread. However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA. This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.

This patch annotates these call paths so any accidental use of

if debugging is disabled the offending allocation will have its
GFP flags automatically corrected. When debugging is enabled
any misuse will be treated as a fatal error.

The vdev queue layer may require a small number of buffers
when attempting to create aggregate I/O requests. Rather than
attempting to allocate them from the global zio buffers, which
is slow under memory pressure, it makes sense to pre-allocate
them because...
1) These buffers are short lived. They are only required for
the life of a single I/O at which point they can be used by
the next I/O.
2) The maximum number of concurrent buffers needed by a vdev is
small. It's roughly limited by the zfs_vdev_max_pending tunable
which defaults to 10.
By keeping a small list of these buffer per-vdev we can ensure
one is always available when we need it. This significantly
reduces contention on the vq->vq_lock, because we no longer
need to perform a slow allocation under this lock. This is
particularly important when memory is already low on the system.
It would probably be wise to extend the use of these buffers beyond
aggregate I/O and in to the raidz implementation. The inability
to quickly allocate buffer for the parity stripes could result in
similiar problems.

The commit, cfc9a5c88f, to fix deadlocks
in zpl_writepage() relied on PF_MEMALLOC. That had the effect of
disabling the direct reclaim path on all allocations originating from
calls to this function, but it failed to address the actual cause of
those deadlocks. This led to the same deadlocks being observed with
swap on zvols, but not with swap on the loop device, which exercises
this code.
The use of PF_MEMALLOC also had the side effect of permitting
allocations to be made from ZONE_DMA in instances that did not require
it. This contributes to the possibility of panics caused by depletion
of pages from ZONE_DMA.

This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with
__vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does
not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe
to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case
ZFS depends on for correct operation.
Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches
are available which resolve the issue.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685
However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that
using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done.
Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate
the Linux VM.
While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is
something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will
likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned
for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the
SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage.
This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously
in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility
of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now
safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete.
Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the
caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects
will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will
proceed as usual.
However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described
above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues
will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt
to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags.
This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the
passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress.
As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the
worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress.
This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete
and normal operation will resume.
These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require
contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact
is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in
practice further optimizations are possible.
One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived.
Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when
an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list
grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be
handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that
optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch.
Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing
slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality
was implemented. See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26
for full details. This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory
fragmentation problems.
The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the
end. The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency
objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows
the historical worst case. These value should give us a good idea
of how often these objects are needed. Based on these values under
real use cases we can tune the default behavior.
Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab
allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address
space lock. This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for
the system.

When calling sa_update() and friends it is possible that a spill
buffer will be needed to accomidate the update. When this happens
a hold is taken on the new dbuf and that hold must be released
before calling dmu_tx_commit(). Failing to release the hold will
cause a copy of the dbuf to be made in dbuf_sync_leaf(). This is
done to ensure further updates to the dbuf never sneak in to the
syncing txg.
This could be left to the sa_update() caller. But then the caller
would need to be aware of this internal SA implementation detail.
It is therefore preferable to handle this all internally in the
SA implementation.

Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and

In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests

write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).

The number of blocks that can be discarded in one BLKDISCARD ioctl on a
zvol is currently unlimited. Some applications, such as mkfs, discard
the whole volume at once and they use the maximum possible discard size
to do that. As a result, several gigabytes discard requests are not
uncommon.
Unfortunately, if a large amount of data is allocated in the zvol, ZFS
can be quite slow to process discard requests. This is especially true
if the volblocksize is low (e.g. the 8K default). As a result, very
large discard requests can take a very long time (seconds to minutes
under heavy load) to complete. This can cause a number of problems, most
notably if the zvol is accessed remotely (e.g. via iSCSI), in which case
the client has a high probability of timing out on the request.
This patch solves the issue by adding a new tunable module parameter:
zvol_max_discard_blocks. This indicates the maximum possible range, in
zvol blocks, of one discard operation. It is set by default to 16384
blocks, which appears to be a good tradeoff. Using the default
volblocksize of 8K this is equivalent to 128 MB. When using the maximum
volblocksize of 128K this is equivalent to 2 GB.

Currently, the SPL tries to determine the hostid at module load. The
hostid is usually determined by running the userland program "hostid"
during module initialization.
Unfortunately, when the module initializes, it may be way too soon to be
able to run any userland programs. This is especially true when the
module is compiled directly inside the kernel (built-in); in that case,
the SPL would try to run hostid when the kernel is still initializing,
which of course is doomed to fail.
This patch fixes the issue by deferring hostid generation until
something actually needs the hostid (that is, when zone_get_hostid() is
called), thus switching to a "on-initialization" model to a "on-demand"
(lazy loading) model. ZFS only needs the hostid when some pool
operations are requested, and this always happens way after the kernel
has finished initialization, thus solving the problem.

Issue #784
The .zfs control directory implementation currently relies on
the fact that there is a direct 1:1 mapping from an object id
to its inode number. This works well as long as the system
uses a 64-bit value to store the inode number.
Unfortunately, the Linux kernel defines the inode number as
an 'unsigned long' type. This means that for 32-bit systems
will only have 32-bit inode numbers but we still have 64-bit
object ids.
This problem is particularly acute for the .zfs directories
which leverage those upper 32-bits. This is done to avoid
conflicting with object ids which are allocated monotonically
starting from 0. This is likely to also be a problem for
datasets on 32-bit systems with more than ~2 billion files.
The right long term fix must remove the simple 1:1 mapping.
Until that's done the only safe thing to do is to disable the
.zfs directory on 32-bit systems.

Gentoo Hardened kernels include the PaX/GRSecurity patches. They use a
dialect of C that relies on a GCC plugin. In particular, struct
file_operations has been marked do_const in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect,
which causes GCC to consider all instances of it as const. This caused
failures in the autotools checks and the ZFS source code.
To address this, we modify the autotools checks to take into account
differences between the PaX C dialect and the regular C dialect. We also
modify struct zfs_acl's z_ops member to be a pointer to a function
pointer table. Lastly, we modify zpl_put_link() to address a PaX change
to the function prototype of nd_get_link(). This avoids compiler errors
in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect.
Note that the change in zpl_put_link() causes a warning that becomes a

Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on
whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace
while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in
EBUSY.
This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the
module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in
vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires
jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition
device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the
BLKRRPART call.
Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion
only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still
call BLKRRPART from userspace.
This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37
and latter kernels. The build system has been updated to detect this,
but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels. This means that
online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels. However, it
will still be possible to expand the vdev offline.

ZoL can create more zvols at runtime than can be configured during
system start, which hangs the init stack at reboot.
When a slow system has more than a few hundred zvols, udev will
fork bomb during system start and spend too much time in device
detection routines, so upstart kills it.
The zfs_inhibit_dev option allows an affected system to be rescued
by skipping /dev/zd* creation and thereby avoiding the udev
overload. All zvols are made inaccessible if this option is set, but
the `zfs destroy` and `zfs send` commands still work, and ZFS

zil_slog_limit specifies the maximum commit size to be written to the separate
log device. Larger commits bypass the separate log device and go directly to
the data devices.
The optimal value for zil_slog_limit directly depends on the latency and
throughput characteristics of both the separate log device and the data disks.
Small synchronous writes are faster on low-latency separate log devices (e.g.
SSDs) whereas large synchronous writes are faster on high-latency data disks
(e.g. spindles) because of higher throughput, especially with a large array.
The point is, the line between "small" and "large" synchronous writes in this
scenario is heavily dependent on the hardware used. That's why it should be

This test is designed to verify that direct reclaim is functioning as
expected. We allocate a large number of objects thus creating a large
number of slabs. We then apply memory pressure and expect that the
direct reclaim path can easily recover those slabs. The registered
reclaim function will free the objects and the slab shrinker will call
it repeatedly until at least a single slab can be freed.
Note it may not be possible to reclaim every last slab via direct reclaim
without a failure because the shrinker_rwsem may be contended. For this
reason, quickly reclaiming 3/4 of the slabs is considered a success.
This should all be possible within 10 seconds. For reference, on a
system with 2G of memory this test takes roughly 0.2 seconds to run.
It may take longer on larger memory systems but should still easily

23bdb07d4e updated the ARC memory limits
to be 1/2 of memory or all but 4GB. Unfortunately, these values assume
zero internal fragmentation in the SLUB allocator, when in reality, the
internal fragmentation could be as high as 50%, effectively doubling
memory usage. This poses clear safety issues, because it permits the
size of ARC to exceed system memory.
This patch changes this so that the default value of arc_c_max is always
1/2 of system memory. This effectively limits the ARC to the memory that
the system has physically installed.

Under Solaris the ARC was designed to stay one step ahead of the
VM subsystem. It would attempt to recognize low memory situtions
before they occured and evict data from the cache. It would also
make assessments about if there was enough free memory to perform
a specific operation.
This was all possible because Solaris exposes a fairly decent
view of the memory state of the system to other kernel threads.
Linux on the other hand does not make this information easily
available. To avoid extensive modifications to the ARC the SPL
attempts to provide these same interfaces. While this works it
is not ideal and problems can arise when the ARC and Linux have
different ideas about when your out of memory. This has manifested
itself in the past as a spinning arc_reclaim_thread.
This patch abandons the emulated Solaris interfaces in favor of
the prefered Linux interface. That means moving the bulk of the
memory reclaim logic out of the arc_reclaim_thread and in to the
evict driven shrinker callback. The Linux VM will call this
function when it needs memory. The ARC is then responsible for
attempting to free the requested amount of memory if possible.
Several interfaces have been modified to accomidate this approach,
however the basic user space implementation remains the same.
The following changes almost exclusively just apply to the kernel
implementation.
* Removed the hdr_recl() reclaim callback which is redundant
with the broader arc_shrinker_func().
* Reduced arc_grow_retry to 5 seconds from 60. This is now used
internally in the ARC with arc_no_grow to indicate that direct
reclaim was recently performed. This typically indicates a
rapid change in memory demands which the kswapd threads were
unable to keep ahead of. As long as direct reclaim is happening
once every 5 seconds arc growth will be paused to avoid further
contributing to the existing memory pressure. The more common
indirect reclaim paths will not set arc_no_grow.
* arc_shrink() has been extended to take the number of bytes by
which arc_c should be reduced. This allows for a more granual
reduction of the arc target. Since the kernel provides a
reclaim value to the arc_shrinker_func() this value is used
instead of 1<<arc_shrink_shift.
* arc_reclaim_needed() has been removed. It was used to determine
if the system was under memory pressure and relied extensively
on Solaris specific VM interfaces. In most case the new code
just checks arc_no_grow which indicates that within the last
arc_grow_retry seconds direct memory reclaim occurred.
* arc_memory_throttle() has been updated to always include the
amount of evictable memory (arc and page cache) in its free
space calculations. This space is largely available in most
call paths due to direct memory reclaim.
* The Solaris pageout code was also removed to avoid confusion.
It has always been disabled due to proc_pageout being defined
as NULL in the Linux port.

*) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37
or newer kernel. The exception is RHEL6.2 which has backported
the d_automount patches.
*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected. However,
this functionality is only available to root until zfs
delegations are finished.
* mkdir - create a snapshot
* rmdir - destroy a snapshot
* mv - rename a snapshot
The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.
*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37. This should
be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.
*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
The majority of the ground work for this is complete. However,
finishing this work will require resolving some lingering
integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server.
*) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality

Issue #496
A private SA handle must be used to ensure we can drop the dbuf
hold on the spill block prior to calling dmu_tx_commit(). If we
call dmu_tx_commit() before sa_handle_destroy(), then our hold
will trigger a copy of the dbuf to be made. This is done to
prevent data from leaking in to the syncing txg. As a result
the original dirty spill block will remain cached.
Additionally, relying on the shared zp->z_sa_hdl is unsafe in
the xattr context because the znode may be asynchronously dropped
from the cache. It's far safer and simpler just to use a private
handle for xattrs. Plus any additional overhead is offset by
the avoidance of the previously mentioned memory copy.
These forever dirty buffers can be noticed in the arcstats under
the anon_size. On a quiescent system the value should be zero.
Without this fix and a SA xattr write workload you will see
anon_size increase. Eventually, if enough dirty data builds up
your system it will appear to hang. This occurs because the dmu
won't allow new txs to be assigned until that dirty data is
flushed, and it won't be because it's not part of an assigned tx.
As an aside, I typically see anon_size lurk around 16k so I think
there is another place in the code which needs a similar fix.
However, this value doesn't grow over time so it isn't critical.

DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning.
It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from
a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.
We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.
Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

This operation allows "hole punching" in ZFS files. On Solaris this
is done via the vop_space() system call, which maps to the zfs_space()
function. So we just need to write zpl_truncate_range() as a wrapper
around zfs_space().
Note that this only works for regular files, not ZVOLs.
This is currently an insecure implementation without permission
checking, although this isn't that big of a deal since truncate_range()
isn't even callable from userspace.

Issue #334
Currently, the `zvol_threads` variable, which controls the number of worker
threads which process items from the ZVOL queues, is set to the number of
available CPUs.
This choice seems to be based on the assumption that ZVOL threads are
CPU-bound. This is not necessarily true, especially for synchronous writes.
Consider the situation described in the comments for `zil_commit()`, which is
called inside `zvol_write()` for synchronous writes:
> itxs are committed in batches. In a heavily stressed zil there will be a
> commit writer thread who is writing out a bunch of itxs to the log for a
> set of committing threads (cthreads) in the same batch as the writer.
> Those cthreads are all waiting on the same cv for that batch.
>
> There will also be a different and growing batch of threads that are
> waiting to commit (qthreads). When the committing batch completes a
> transition occurs such that the cthreads exit and the qthreads become
> cthreads. One of the new cthreads becomes he writer thread for the batch.
> Any new threads arriving become new qthreads.
We can easily deduce that, in the case of ZVOLs, there can be a maximum of
`zvol_threads` cthreads and qthreads. The default value for `zvol_threads` is
typically between 1 and 8, which is way too low in this case. This means
there will be a lot of small commits to the ZIL, which is very inefficient
compared to a few big commits, especially since we have to wait for the data
to be on stable storage. Increasing the number of threads will increase the
amount of data waiting to be commited and thus the size of the individual
commits.
On my system, in the context of VM disk image storage (lots of small
synchronous writes), increasing `zvol_threads` from 8 to 32 results in a 50%
increase in sequential synchronous write performance.
We should choose a more sensible default for `zvol_threads`. Unfortunately
the optimal value is difficult to determine automatically, since it depends
on the synchronous write latency of the underlying storage devices. In any
case, a hardcoded value of 32 would probably be better than the current
situation. Having a lot of ZVOL threads doesn't seem to have any real
downside anyway.

Fixes#392
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.
Detailed rationale:
- max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
upper layer decide.
- max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.
- physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
slow.
- The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:
WRITE: A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
WRITE_SYNC: Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
shortly.
WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
WRITE_FUA: Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
non-volatile media on completion.
In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.
The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.
Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s. This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart. The result of this
is the following behavior.
--enable-debug - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
are never required for correct operation.
They are disabled by default because they
may impact performance.
--enable-debug-log - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log This infrastructure allows the spl code and
its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
log. The granularity of the logging can be
controlled by a debug mask. By default the
mask disables most debug messages resulting
in a negligible performance impact. Because
of this the debug log is enabled by default.

When using zfs to back a Lustre filesystem it's advantageous to
to store a fid with the object id in the directory zap. The only
technical impediment to doing this is that the zpl code expects
a single value in the zap per directory entry.
This change relaxes that requirement such that multiple entries
are allowed provided the first one is the object id. The zpl
code will just ignore additional entries. This allows the ZoL
count to mount datasets which are being used as Lustre server
backends.
Once the upstream feature flags support is merged in this change
should be updated to a read-only feature. Until this occurs
other zfs implementations will not be able to read the zfs

Testing has shown that tq->tq_lock can be highly contended when a
large number of small work items are dispatched. The lock hold time
is reduced by the following changes:

When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single

threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become

This reverts commit ec2b41049f.
A race condition was introduced by which a wake_up() call can be lost
after the taskq thread determines there is no pending work items,
leading to deadlock:
1. taksq thread enables interrupts
2. dispatcher thread runs, queues work item, call wake_up()
3. taskq thread runs, adds self to waitq, sleeps
This could easily happen if an interrupt for an IO completion was
outstanding at the point where the taskq thread reenables interrupts,
just before the call to add_wait_queue_exclusive(). The handler would
run immediately within the race window.

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq outside of tq_lock
Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if there

calls can be made outside of the taskq lock since the wait queues are
protected from concurrent access by their own spinlocks.
3) Call wake_up() outside of tq->tq_lock
Again, the wait queues are protected by their own spinlock, so the
dispatcher functions can drop tq->tq_lock before calling wake_up().
A new splat test taskq:contention was added in a prior commit to measure
the impact of these changes. The following table summarizes the
results using data from the kernel lock profiler.
tq_lock time %diff Wall clock (s) %diff

unlocked wake_up(): 1589172.08 95.9 16.61 60.2
Each row reflects the average result over 5 test runs.
/proc/lock_stats was zeroed out before and collected after each run.
Column 1 is the cumulative hold time in microseconds for tq->tq_lock.
The tests are cumulative; each row reflects the code changes of the
previous rows. %diff is calculated with respect to "original" as
100*(orig-new)/orig.
Although calling wake_up() outside of the taskq lock dramatically
reduced the taskq lock hold time, the test actually took slightly more
wall clock time. This is because the point of contention shifts from
the taskq lock to the wait queue lock. But the change still seems
worthwhile since it removes our taskq implementation as a bottleneck,
assuming the small increase in wall clock time to be statistical
noise.

As described in Issue #458 and #258, unlinking large amounts of data
can cause the threads in the zio free wait queue to start spinning.
Reducing the number of z_fr_iss threads from a fixed value of 100 to 1
per cpu signficantly reduces contention on the taskq spinlock and
improves throughput.
Instrumenting the taskq code showed that __taskq_dispatch() can spend
a long time holding tq->tq_lock if there are a large number of threads
in the queue. It turns out the time spent in wake_up() scales
linearly with the number of threads in the queue. When a large number
of short work items are dispatched, as seems to be the case with
unlink, the worker threads drain the queue faster than the dispatcher
can fill it. They then all pile into the work wait queue to wait for
new work items. So if 100 threads are in the queue, wake_up() takes
about 100 times as long, and the woken threads have to spin until the
dispatcher releases the lock.
Reducing the number of threads helps with the symptoms, but doesn't
get to the root of the problem. It would seem that wake_up()
shouldn't scale linearly in time with queue depth, particularly if we
are only trying to wake up one thread. In that vein, I tried making
all of the waiting processes exclusive to prevent the scheduler from
iterating over the entire list, but I still saw the linear time
scaling. So further investigation is needed, but in the meantime
reducing the thread count is an easy workaround.

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.

A preallocated taskq_ent_t's tqent_flags must be checked prior to
servicing the taskq_ent_t. Once a preallocated taskq entry is serviced,
the ownership of the entry is handed back to the caller of
taskq_dispatch, thus the entry's contents can potentially be mangled.
In particular, this is a problem in the case where a preallocated taskq
entry is serviced, and the caller clears it's tqent_flags field. Thus,
when the function returns and task_done is called, it looks as though
the entry is **not** a preallocated task (when in fact it **is** a
preallocated task).
In this situation, task_done will place the preallocated taskq_ent_t
structure onto the taskq_t's free list. This is a **huge** mistake. If
the taskq_ent_t is then freed by the caller of taskq_dispatch, the
taskq_t's free list will hold a pointer to garbage data. Even worse, if
nothing has over written the freed memory before the pointer is
dereferenced, it may still look as though it points to a valid list_head
belonging to a taskq_ent_t structure.
Thus, the task entry's flags are now copied prior to servicing the task.
This copy is then checked to see if it is a preallocated task, and
determine if the entry needs to be passed down to the task_done
function.

The taskq_t's active thread list is sorted based on its
tqt_ent->tqent_id field. The list is kept sorted solely by inserting
new taskq_thread_t's in their correct sorted location; no other
means is used. This means that once inserted, if a taskq_thread_t's
tqt_ent->tqent_id field changes, the list runs the risk of no
longer being sorted.
Prior to the introduction of the taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface,
this was not a problem as a taskq_ent_t actively being serviced under
the old interface should always have a static tqent_id field. Thus,
once the taskq_thread_t is added to the taskq_t's active thread list,
the taskq_thread_t's tqt_ent->tqent_id field would remain constant.
Now, this is no longer the case. Currently, if using the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, any given taskq_ent_t actively
being serviced _may_ have its tqent_id value incremented. This happens
when the preallocated taskq_ent_t structure is recursively dispatched.
Thus, a taskq_thread_t could potentially have its tqt_ent->tqent_id
field silently modified from under its feet. If this were to happen
to a taskq_thread_t on a taskq_t's active thread list, this would
compromise the integrity of the order of the list (as the list
_may_ no longer be sorted).
To get around this, the taskq_thread_t's taskq_ent_t pointer was
replaced with its own static copy of the tqent_id. So, as a taskq_ent_t
is pulled off of the taskq_t's pending list, a static copy of its
tqent_id is made and this copy is used to sort the active thread
list. Using a static copy is key in ensuring the integrity of the
order of the active thread list. Even if the underlying taskq_ent_t
is recursively dispatched (as has its tqent_id modified), this
static copy stored inside the taskq_thread_t will remain constant.

To lay the ground work for introducing the taskq_dispatch_prealloc()
interface, the tq_work_list and tq_threads fields had to be replaced
with new alternatives in the taskq_t structure.
The tq_threads field was replaced with tq_thread_list. Rather than
storing the pointers to the taskq's kernel threads in an array, they are
now stored as a list. In addition to laying the ground work for the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, this change could also enable taskq
threads to be dynamically created and destroyed as threads can now be
added and removed to this list relatively easily.
The tq_work_list field was replaced with tq_active_list. Instead of
keeping a list of taskq_ent_t's which are currently being serviced, a
list of taskq_threads currently servicing a taskq_ent_t is kept. This
frees up the taskq_ent_t's tqent_list field when it is being serviced
(i.e. now when a taskq_ent_t is being serviced, it's tqent_list field
will be empty).

Issue #392
In the upstream OpenSolaris ZFS code the maximum ARC usage is
limited to 3/4 of memory or all but 1GB, whichever is larger.
Because of how Linux's VM subsystem is organized these defaults
have proven to be too large which can lead to stability issues.
To avoid making everyone manually tune the ARC the defaults are
being changed to 1/2 of memory or all but 4GB. The rational for
this is as follows:
* Desktop Systems (less than 8GB of memory)
Limiting the ARC to 1/2 of memory is desirable for desktop
systems which have highly dynamic memory requirements. For
example, launching your web browser can suddenly result in a
demand for several gigabytes of memory. This memory must be
reclaimed from the ARC cache which can take some time. The
user will experience this reclaim time as a sluggish system
with poor interactive performance. Thus in this case it is
preferable to leave the memory as free and available for
immediate use.
* Server Systems (more than 8GB of memory)
Using all but 4GB of memory for the ARC is preferable for
server systems. These systems often run with minimal user
interaction and have long running daemons with relatively
stable memory demands. These systems will benefit most by
having as much data cached in memory as possible.
These values should work well for most configurations. However,
if you have a desktop system with more than 8GB of memory you may
wish to further restrict the ARC. This can still be accomplished
by setting the 'zfs_arc_max' module option.
Additionally, keep in mind these aren't currently hard limits.
The ARC is based on a slab implementation which can suffer from
memory fragmentation. Because this fragmentation is not visible
from the ARC it may believe it is within the specified limits while
actually consuming slightly more memory. How much more memory get's
consumed will be determined by how badly fragmented the slabs are.
In the long term this can be mitigated by slab defragmentation code
which was OpenSolaris solution. Or preferably, using the page cache
to back the ARC under Linux would be even better. See issue #75
for the benefits of more tightly integrating with the page cache.
This change also fixes a issue where the default ARC max was being
set incorrectly for machines with less than 2GB of memory. The
constant in the arc_c_max comparison must be explicitly cast to
a uint64_t type to prevent overflow and the wrong conditional
branch being taken. This failure was typically observed in VMs
which are commonly created with less than 2GB of memory.

Issue #75
The Solaris version of ZFS does not allow xattrs to be set on
symlinks due to the way they implemented the attropen() system
call. Linux however implements xattrs through the lgetxattr()
and lsetxattr() system calls which do not have this limitation.
The only reason this hasn't always worked under ZFS on Linux
is that the xattr handlers were not registered for symlink type
inodes. This was done simply to be consistent with the Solaris
behavior.
Upon futher reflection I believe this should be allowed under
Linux. The only ill effect would be that the xattrs on symlinks
will not be visible when the pool is imported on a Solaris
system. This also has the benefit that it allows for SELinux
style security xattr labeling which expects to be able to set
xattrs on all inode types.

Closes#272
The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden
directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name
and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is
very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However,
it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing
a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks.
1) Lookup the dnode object.
2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object.
3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory.
To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3
and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When
the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external
block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small
and this approach works well.
The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean
way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa'
is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes.
This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and
up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional
xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be
stored using the traditional directory approach.
This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement
when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4
and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file
the performance improvements are even greater because all of the
xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached.
However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port
to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do
enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms
which do not support this feature.

The downside of this change is that it will prevent the zfs arc
meta data limts from being enforced. However, the current zfs

Profiling the system during meta data intensive workloads such
as creating/removing millions of files, revealed that the system
was cpu bound. A large fraction of that cpu time was being spent
waiting on the virtual address space spin lock.
It turns out this was caused by certain heavily used kmem_caches
being backed by virtual memory. By default a kmem_cache will
dynamically determine the type of memory used based on the object
size. For large objects virtual memory is usually preferable
and for small object physical memory is a better choice. See
the spl_slab_alloc() function for a longer discussion on this.
However, there is a certain amount of gray area when defining a
'large' object. For the following caches it turns out they were
just over the line:
* dnode_cache
* zio_cache
* zio_link_cache
* zio_buf_512_cache
* zfs_data_buf_512_cache
Now because we know there will be a lot of churn in these caches,
and because we know the slabs will still be reasonably sized.
We can safely request with the KMC_KMEM flag that the caches be
backed with physical memory addresses. This entirely avoids the
need to serialize on the virtual address space lock.
As a bonus this also reduces our vmalloc usage which will be good
for 32-bit kernels which have a very small virtual address space.
It will also probably be good for interactive performance since
unrelated processes could also block of this same global lock.
Finally, we may see less cpu time being burned in the arc_reclaim
and txg_sync_threads.

Register the setattr/getattr callbacks for symlinks. Without these
the generic inode_setattr() and generic_fillattr() functions will
be used. In the setattr case this will only result in the inode being
updated in memory, the dirty_inode callback would also normally run
but none is registered for zfs.
The straight forward fix is to set the setattr/getattr callbacks
for symlinks so they are handled just like files and directories.

Due to the confusion in Linux statfs between f_frsize and f_bsize
the blocks counts were changed to be in units of z_max_blksize
instead of SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE as it is on other platforms.
However, the free files calculation in zfs_statvfs() is limited by
the free blocks count, since each dnode consumes one block/sector.
This provided a reasonable estimate of free inodes, but on Linux
this meant that the free inodes count was underestimated by a large
amount, since 256 512-byte dnodes can fit into a 128kB block, and
more if the max blocksize is increased to 1MB or larger.
Also, the use of SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE is semantically incorrect since
DNODE_SIZE may change to a value other than SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE and
may even change per dataset, and devices with large sectors setting
ashift will also use a larger blocksize.
Correct the f_ffree calculation to use (availbytes >> DNODE_SHIFT)

This warning was accidentally introduced by commit
f3ab88d646 which updated the
.readpages() implementation. The fix is to simply cast
the helper function to the appropriate type when passed.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
Unlike the .readpage() callback which is passed a single locked page
to be populated. The .readpages() callback is passed a list of unlocked
pages which are all marked for read-ahead (PG_readahead set). It is
the responsibly of .readpages() to ensure to pages are properly locked
before being populated.
Prior to this change the requested read-ahead pages would be updated
outside of the page lock which is unsafe. The unlocked pages would then
be unlocked again which is harmless but should have been immediately
detected as bug. Unfortunately, newer kernels failed detect this issue
because the check is done with a VM_BUG_ON which is disabled by default.
Luckily, the old Debian Lenny 2.6.26 kernel caught this because it
simply uses a BUG_ON.
The straight forward fix for this is to update the .readpages() callback
to use the read_cache_pages() helper function. The helper function will
ensure that each page in the list is properly locked before it is passed
to the .readpage() callback. In addition resolving the bug, this results
in a nice simplification of the existing code.
The downside to this change is that instead of passing one large read
request to the dmu multiple smaller ones are submitted. All of these
requests however are marked for readahead so the lower layers should
issue a large I/O regardless. Thus most of the request should hit the
ARC cache.
Futher optimization of this code can be done in the future is a perform
analysis determines it to be worthwhile. But for the moment, it is
preferable that code be correct and understandable.

Closes#355
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.

Closes#174
While the existing implementation of .writepage()/zpl_putpage() was
functional it was not entirely correct. In particular, it would move
dirty pages in to a clean state simply after copying them in to the
ARC cache. This would result in the pages being lost if the system
were to crash enough though the Linux VFS believed them to be safe on
stable storage.
Since at the moment virtually all I/O, except mmap(2), bypasses the
page cache this isn't as bad as it sounds. However, as hopefully
start using the page cache more getting this right becomes more
important so it's good to improve this now.
This patch takes a big step in that direction by updating the code
to correctly move dirty pages through a writeback phase before they
are marked clean. When a dirty page is copied in to the ARC it will
now be set in writeback and a completion callback is registered with
the transaction. The page will stay in writeback until the dmu runs
the completion callback indicating the page is on stable storage.
At this point the page can be safely marked clean.
This process is normally entirely asynchronous and will be repeated
for every dirty page. This may initially sound inefficient but most
of these pages will end up in a few txgs. That means when they are
eventually written to disk they should be nicely batched. However,
there is room for improvement. It may still be desirable to batch
up the pages in to larger writes for the dmu. This would reduce
the number of callbacks and small 4k buffer required by the ARC.
Finally, if the caller requires that the I/O be done synchronously
by setting WB_SYNC_ALL or if ZFS_SYNC_ALWAYS is set. Then the I/O
will trigger a zil_commit() to flush the data to stable storage.
At which point the registered callbacks will be run leaving the
date safe of disk and marked clean before returning from .writepage.

The function txg_delay() is used to delay txg (transaction group)
threads in ZFS. The timeout value for this function is calculated
using:
int timeout = ddi_get_lbolt() + ticks;
Later, the actual wait is performed:
while (ddi_get_lbolt() < timeout &&
tx->tx_syncing_txg < txg-1 && !txg_stalled(dp))
(void) cv_timedwait(&tx->tx_quiesce_more_cv, &tx->tx_sync_lock,
timeout - ddi_get_lbolt());
The ddi_get_lbolt() function returns current uptime in clock ticks
and is typed as clock_t. The clock_t type on 64-bit architectures
is int64_t.
The "timeout" variable will overflow depending on the tick frequency
(e.g. for 1000 it will overflow in 28.855 days). This will make the
expression "ddi_get_lbolt() < timeout" always false - txg threads will
not be delayed anymore at all. This leads to a slowdown in ZFS writes.
The attached patch initializes timeout as clock_t to match the return
value of ddi_get_lbolt().

Issue #352
Prior to revision 11314 if a user was recursively destroying
snapshots of a dataset the target dataset was not required to
exist. The zfs_secpolicy_destroy_snaps() function introduced
the security check on the target dataset, so since then if the
target dataset does not exist, the recursive destroy is not
performed. Before 11314, only a delete permission check on
the snapshot's master dataset was performed.
Steps to reproduce:
zfs create pool/a
zfs snapshot pool/a@s1
zfs destroy -r pool@s1
Therefore I suggest to fallback to the old security check, if
the target snapshot does not exist and continue with the destroy.

Hypothesis about what's going on here.
At some time in the past, something, i.e. dnode_reallocate()
calls one of:
dbuf_rm_spill(dn, tx);
These will do:
dbuf_rm_spill(dnode_t *dn, dmu_tx_t *tx)
dbuf_free_range(dn, DMU_SPILL_BLKID, DMU_SPILL_BLKID, tx)
dbuf_undirty(db, tx)
Currently dbuf_undirty can leave a spill block in dn_dirty_records[],
(it having been put there previously by dbuf_dirty) and free it.
Sometime later, dbuf_sync_list trips over this reference to free'd
(and typically reused) memory.
Also, dbuf_undirty can call dnode_clear_range with a bogus
block ID. It needs to test for DMU_SPILL_BLKID, similar to
how dnode_clear_range is called in dbuf_dirty().

Long, long, long ago when the effort to port ZFS was begun
the zfs_create_fs() function was heavily modified to remove
all of its VFS dependencies. This allowed Lustre to use
the dataset without us having to spend the time porting all
the required VFS code.
Fast-forward several years and we now have all the VFS code
in place but are still relying on the modified zfs_create_fs().
This isn't required anymore and we can now use zfs_mknode()
to create the root znode for the filesystem.
This commit reverts the contents of zfs_create_fs() to largely
match the upstream OpenSolaris code. There have been minor
modifications to accomidate the Linux VFS but that is all.
This code fixes issue #116 by bootstraping enough of the VFS
data structures so we can rely on zfs_mknode() to create the
root directory. This ensures it is created properly with
support for system attributes. Previously it wasn't which
is why it behaved differently that all other directories
when modified.

Disable the normal reclaim path for zpl_putpage(). This ensures that
all memory allocations under this call path will never enter direct
reclaim. If this were to happen the VM might try to write out
additional pages by calling zpl_putpage() again resulting in a
deadlock.
This sitution is typically handled in Linux by marking each offending
allocation GFP_NOFS. However, since much of the code used is common
it makes more sense to use PF_MEMALLOC to flag the entire call tree.
Alternately, the code could be updated to pass the needed allocation
flags but that's a more invasive change.
The following example of the above described deadlock was triggered

When modifing overlapping regions of a file using mmap(2) and
write(2)/read(2) it is possible to deadlock due to a lock inversion.
The zfs_write() and zfs_read() hooks first take the zfs range lock
and then lock the individual pages. Conversely, when using mmap'ed
I/O the zpl_writepage() hook is called with the individual page
locks already taken and then zfs_putpage() takes the zfs range lock.
The most straight forward fix is to simply not take the zfs range
lock in the mmap(2) case. The individual pages will still be locked
thus serializing access. Updating the same region of a file with
write(2) and mmap(2) has always been a dodgy thing to do. This change
at a minimum ensures we don't deadlock and is consistent with the
existing Linux semantics enforced by the VFS.
This isn't an issue under Solaris because the only range locking
performed will be with the zfs range locks. It's up to each filesystem
to perform its own file locking. Under Linux the VFS provides many
of these services.
It may be possible/desirable at a latter date to entirely dump the
existing zfs range locking and rely on the Linux VFS page locks.
However, for now its safest to perform both layers of locking until
zfs is more tightly integrated with the page cache.

Issue #302
This commit fixes a regression which was accidentally introduced by
the Linux 2.6.39 compatibility chanages. As part of these changes
instead of holding an active reference on the namepsace (which is
no longer posible) a reference is taken on the super block. This
reference ensures the super block remains valid while it is in use.
To handle the unlikely race condition of the filesystem being
unmounted concurrently with the start of a 'zfs send/recv' the
code was updated to only take the super block reference when there
was an existing reference. This indicates that the filesystem is
active and in use.
Unfortunately, in the 'zfs recv' case this is not the case. The
newly created dataset will not have a super block without an
active reference which results in the 'dataset is busy' error.
The most straight forward fix for this is to simply update the
code to always take the reference even when it's zero. This
may expose us to very very unlikely concurrent umount/send/recv
case but the consequences of that are minor.
Closes#319
There is at most a factor of 3x performance improvement to be
had by using the Linux generic_fillattr() helper. However, to
use it safely we need to ensure the values in a cached inode
are kept rigerously up to date. Unfortunately, this isn't
the case for the blksize, blocks, and atime fields. At the
moment the authoritative values are still stored in the znode.
This patch introduces an optimized zfs_getattr_fast() call.
The idea is to use the up to date values from the inode and
the blksize, block, and atime fields from the znode. At some
latter date we should be able to strictly use the inode values
and further improve performance.
The remaining overhead in the zfs_getattr_fast() call can be
attributed to having to take the znode mutex. This overhead is
unavoidable until the inode is kept strictly up to date. The
the careful reader will notice the we do not use the customary
ZFS_ENTER()/ZFS_EXIT() macros. These macro's are designed to
ensure the filesystem is not torn down in the middle of an
operation. However, in this case the VFS is holding a
reference on the active inode so we know this is impossible.
=================== Performance Tests ========================
This test calls the fstat(2) system call 10,000,000 times on
an open file description in a tight loop. The test results
show the zfs stat(2) performance is now only 22% slower than
ext4. This is a 2.5x improvement and there is a clear long
term plan to get to parity with ext4.
filesystem | test-1 test-2 test-3 | average | times-ext4
--------------+-------------------------+---------+-----------
ext4 | 7.785s 7.899s 7.284s | 7.656s | 1.000x

The second test is to run 'du' of a copy of the /usr tree
which contains 110514 files. The test is run multiple times
both using both a cold cache (/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) and
a hot cache. As expected this change signigicantly improved
the zfs hot cache performance and doesn't quite bring zfs to
parity with ext4.
A little surprisingly the zfs cold cache performance is better
than ext4. This can probably be attributed to the zfs allocation
policy of co-locating all the meta data on disk which minimizes
seek times. By default the ext4 allocator will spread the data
over the entire disk only co-locating each directory.

Under Linux you may only disable USER xattrs. The SECURITY,
SYSTEM, and TRUSTED xattr namespaces must always be available
if xattrs are supported by the filesystem. The enforcement
of USER xattrs is performed in the zpl_xattr_user_* handlers.
Under Solaris there is only a single xattr namespace which
is managed globally.
The Linux kernel already has support for mandatory locking. This
change just replaces the Solaris mandatory locking calls with the
Linux equivilants. In fact, it looks like this code could be
removed entirely because this checking is already done generically
in the Linux VFS. However, for now we'll leave it in place even
if it is redundant just in case we missed something.
The original patch to update the code to support mandatory locking
was done by Rohan Puri. This patch is an updated version which is

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.

Under Linux the VFS handles virtually all of the mmap() access
checks. Filesystem specific checks are left to be handled in
the .mmap() hook and normally there arn't any.
However, ZFS provides a few attributes which can influence the
mmap behavior and should be honored. Note, currently the code
to modify these attributes has not been implemented under Linux.
* ZFS_IMMUTABLE | ZFS_READONLY | ZFS_APPENDONLY: when any of these

According to Linux kernel commit 2c27c65e, using truncate_setsize in
setattr simplifies the code. Therefore, the patch replaces the call
to vmtruncate() with truncate_setsize().
zfs_setattr uses zfs_freesp to free the disk space belonging to the
file. As truncate_setsize may release the page cache and flushing
the dirty data to disk, it must be called before the zfs_freesp.

To accomindate the updated Linux 3.0 shrinker API the spl
shrinker compatibility code was updated. Unfortunately, this
couldn't be done cleanly without slightly adjusting the comapt
API. See spl commit a55bcaad18.
This commit updates the ZFS code to use the slightly modified
API. You must use the latest SPL if your building ZFS.
While the splat tests were originally designed to stress test
the Solaris primatives. I am extending them to include some kernel
compatibility tests. Certain linux APIs have changed frequently.
These tests ensure that added compatibility is working properly
and no unnoticed regression have slipped in.
Test 1 and 2 add basic regression tests for shrink_icache_memory
and shrink_dcache_memory. These are simply functional tests to
ensure we can call these functions safely. Checking for correct
behavior is more difficult since other running processes will
influence the behavior. However, these functions are provided
by the kernel so if we can successfully call them we assume they
are working correctly.
Test 3 checks that shrinker functions are being registered and
called correctly. As of Linux 3.0 the shrinker API has changed
four different times so I felt the need to add a trivial test
case to ensure each variant works as expected.
Update the the wrapper macros for the memory shrinker to handle
this 4th API change. The callback function now takes a
shrink_control structure. This is certainly a step in the
right direction but it's annoying to have to accomidate yet
another version of the API.
The problem here is that prune_icache() tries to evict/delete
both the xattr directory inode as well as at least one xattr
inode contained in that directory. Here's what happens:
1. File is created.
2. xattr is created for that file (behind the scenes a xattr
directory and a file in that xattr directory are created)
3. File is deleted.
4. Both the xattr directory inode and at least one xattr
inode from that directory are evicted by prune_icache();
prune_icache() acquires a lock on both inodes before it
calls ->evict() on the inodes
When the xattr directory inode is evicted zfs_zinactive attempts
to delete the xattr files contained in that directory. While
enumerating these files zfs_zget() is called to obtain a reference
to the xattr file znode - which tries to lock the xattr inode.
However that very same xattr inode was already locked by
prune_icache() further up the call stack, thus leading to a
deadlock.
This can be reliably reproduced like this:
$ touch test
$ attr -s a -V b test
$ rm test
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
This patch fixes the deadlock by moving the zfs_purgedir() call to
zfs_unlinked_drain(). Instead zfs_rmnode() now checks whether the
xattr dir is empty and leaves the xattr dir in the unlinked set if
it finds any xattrs.
To ensure zfs_unlinked_drain() never accesses a stale super block
zfsvfs_teardown() has been update to block until the iput taskq
has been drained. This avoids a potential race where a file with
an xattr directory is removed and the file system is immediately
unmounted.

iput_final() already calls zpl_inode_destroy() -> zfs_inode_destroy()

properly cleaned up.
The zfs_inode_destroy() calls in zfs_rmnode() would lead to a
double-free.
Fixes#282
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

It is the block layers responsibility to choose the correct way

This change simply updates the bio's to use the new kernel API

entirely on this working as designed for correctness we do
want to be careful.

Stack usage for ddt_class_contains() reduced from 524 bytes to 68
bytes. This large stack allocation significantly contributed to
the likelyhood of a stack overflow when scrubbing/resilvering

Stack usage for ddt_zap_lookup() reduced from 368 bytes to 120

This abomination is no longer required because the zio's issued
during this recursive call path will now be handled asynchronously
by the taskq thread pool.
This reverts commit 6656bf5621.
The majority of the recursive operations performed by the dsl
are done either in the context of the tgx_sync_thread or during
pool import. It is these recursive operations which contribute
greatly to the stack depth. When this recursion is coupled with
a synchronous I/O in the same context overflow becomes possible.
Previously to handle this case I have focused on keeping the
individual stack frames as light as possible. This is a good
idea as long as it can be done in a way which doesn't overly
complicate the code. However, there is a better solution.
If we treat all zio's issued by the tgx_sync_thread as async then
we can use the tgx_sync_thread stack for the recursive parts, and
the zio_* threads for the I/O parts. This effectively doubles our
available stack space with the only drawback being a small delay
to schedule the I/O. However, in practice the scheduling time
is so much smaller than the actual I/O time this isn't an issue.
Another benefit of making the zio async is that the zio pipeline
is now parallel. That should mean for CPU intensive pipelines
such as compression or dedup performance may be improved.
With this change in place the worst case stack usage observed so
far is 6902 bytes. This is still higher than I'd like but
significantly improved. Additional changes to specific functions
should improve this further. This change allows us to revent
commit 6656bf5 which did some horrible things to the recursive
traverse_visitbp() callpath in the name of saving stack.
Yesterday I ran across a 3TB drive which exposed 4K sectors to
Linux. While I thought I had gotten this support correct it
turns out there were 2 subtle bugs which prevented it from
working.
sudo ./cmd/zpool/zpool create -f large-sector /dev/sda
cannot create 'large-sector': one or more devices is currently unavailable
1) The first issue was that it was possible that bdev_capacity()
would return the number of 512 byte sectors rather than the number
of 4096 sectors. Internally, certain Linux functions only operate
with 512 byte sectors so you need to be careful. To avoid any
confusion in the future I've updated bdev_capacity() to simply
return the device (or partition) capacity in bytes. The higher
levels of ZFS want the value in bytes anyway so this is cleaner.
2) When creating a bio the ->bi_sector count must always be
expressed in 512 byte sectors. The existing code would scale
the byte offset by the logical sector size. Until now this was
always 512 so it never caused problems. Trying a 4K sector drive
clearly exposed the issue. The problem has been fixed by
hard coding the 512 byte sector which is exactly what the bio
code does internally.
With these changes I'm now able to create ZFS pools using 4K
sector drives. No issues were observed during fairly extensive
testing. This is also a low risk change if your using 512b
sectors devices because none of the logic changes.
Closes#256
The default buffer size when requesting multiple quota entries
is 100 times the zfs_useracct_t size. In practice this works out
to exactly 27200 bytes. Since this will be a short lived buffer
in a non-performance critical path it is preferable to vmem_alloc()
the needed memory.
Initially when zfsdev_ioctl() was ported to Linux we didn't have
any credential support implemented. So at the time we simply
passed NULL which wasn't much of a problem since most of the
secpolicy code was disabled.
However, one exception is quota handling which does require the
credential. Now that proper credentials are supported we can
safely start passing the callers credential. This is also an
initial step towards fully implemented the zfs secpolicy.
Normally when the arc_shrinker_func() function is called the return
value should be:
>=0 - To indicate the number of freeable objects in the cache, or
-1 - To indicate this cache should be skipped
However, when the shrinker callback is called with 'nr_to_scan' equal
to zero. The caller simply wants the number of freeable objects in
the cache and we must never return -1. This patch reorders the
first two conditionals in arc_shrinker_func() to ensure this behavior.
This patch also now explictly casts arc_size and arc_c_min to signed
int64_t types so MAX(x, 0) works as expected. As unsigned types
we would never see an negative value which defeated the purpose of
the MAX() lower bound and broke the shrinker logic.
Finally, when nr_to_scan is non-zero we explictly prevent all reclaim
below arc_c_min. This is done to prevent the Linux page cache from
completely crowding out the ARC. This limit is tunable and some
experimentation is likely going to be required to set it exactly right.
For now we're sticking with the OpenSolaris defaults.
Closes#218Closes#243
The comment in zfs_close() pertaining to decrementing the synchronous
open count needs to be updated for Linux. The code was already
updated to be correct, but the comment was missed and is now misleading.
Under Linux the zfs_close() hook is only called once when the final
reference is dropped. This differs from Solaris where zfs_close()
is called for each close.
Closes#237
Update the handling of named pipes and sockets to be consistent with
other platforms with regard to the rdev attribute. While all ZFS
ipmlementations store the rdev for device files in a system attribute
(SA), this is not the case for FIFOs and sockets. Indeed, Linux always
passes rdev=0 to mknod() for FIFOs and sockets, so the value is not
needed. Add an ASSERT that rdev==0 for FIFOs and sockets to detect if
the expected behavior ever changes.
Closes#216
The direct reclaim path in the z_wr_* threads must be disabled
to ensure forward progress is always maintained for txg processing.
This ensures that a txg will never get stuck waiting on itself
because it entered the following memory reclaim callpath.
->prune_icache()->dispose_list()->zpl_clear_inode()->zfs_inactive()
->dmu_tx_assign()->dmu_tx_wait()->tgx_wait_open()
It would be preferable to target this exact code path but the
kernel offers no way to do this without custom patches. To avoid
this we are forced to disable all reclaim for these threads. It
should not be necessary to do this for other other z_* threads
because they will not hold a txg open.
Closes#232
It has become necessary to be able to optionally disable
direct memory reclaim for certain taskqs. To support
this the TASKQ_NORECLAIM flags has been added which sets
the PF_MEMALLOC bit for all threads in the taskq.
How nfsd handles .fsync() has been changed a couple of times in the
recent kernels. But basically there are three cases we need to
consider.
Linux 2.6.12 - 2.6.33
* The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments
* The nfsd will call .fsync() with a NULL file struct pointer.
Linux 2.6.34
* The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments
* The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode()
Linux 2.6.35 - 2.6.x
* The .fsync() hook takes 2 arguments
* The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode()
For once it looks like we've gotten lucky. The first two cases can
actually be collased in to one if we stop using the file struct
pointer entirely. Since the dentry is still passed in both cases
this is possible. The last case can then be safely handled by
unconditionally using the dentry in the file struct pointer now
that we know the nfsd caller has been removed.
Closes#230
The default buffer size when requesting history is 128k. This
is far to large for a kmem_alloc() so instead use the slower
vmem_alloc(). This path has no performance concerns and the
buffer is immediately free'd after its contents are copied to
the user space buffer.
This commit adds module options for all existing zfs tunables.
Ideally the average user should never need to modify any of these

When a new znode/inode pair is created both the znode and the inode
should be immediately updated to the correct values. This was done
for the znode and for most of the values in the inode, but not all
of them. This normally wasn't a problem because most subsequent
operations would cause the inode to be immediately updated. This
change ensures the inode is now fully updated before it is inserted
in to the inode hash.

This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing
a dataset which was not open. The objset_t stored in the
zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed.
To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg.
The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel
when the block device capacity changes. For 2.6.28 and newer
kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected. For
earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the
device is next opened. This is a known limitation of older
kernels.

The vdev_metaslab_init() function has been observed to allocate
larger than 8k chunks. However, they are not much larger than 8k
and it does this infrequently so it is allowed and the warning is
supressed.
The dsl_scan_visit() function is a little heavy weight taking 464
bytes on the stack. This can be easily reduced for little cost by
moving zap_cursor_t and zap_attribute_t off the stack and on to the
heap. After this change dsl_scan_visit() has been reduced in size
by 320 bytes.
This change was made to reduce stack usage in the dsl_scan_sync()
callpath which is recursive and has been observed to overflow the
stack.
Issue #174
This function is called recursively so everything possible must be
done to limit its stack consumption. The dprintf_bp() debugging
function adds 30 bytes of local variables to the function we cannot
afford. By commenting out this debugging we save 30 bytes per
recursion and depths of 13 are not uncommon. This yeilds a total
stack saving of 390 bytes on our 8k stack.
Issue #174
The recursive call chain dsl_scan_visitbp() -> dsl_scan_recurse() ->
dsl_scan_visitdnode() -> dsl_scan_visitbp has been observed to consume
considerable stack resulting in a stack overflow (>8k). The cleanest
way I see to fix this with minimal impact to the existing flow of
code, and with the fewest performance concerns, is to always inline
dsl_scan_recurse() and dsl_scan_visitdnode(). While this will increase
the function size of dsl_scan_visitbp(), by 4660 bytes, it also reduces
the stack requirements by removing the function call overhead.
Issue #174
It's possible for a zvol_write thread to enter direct memory reclaim
while holding open a transaction group. This results in the system
attempting to write out data to the disk to free memory. Unfortunately,
this can't succeed because the the thread doing reclaim is holding open
the txg which must be closed to be synced to disk. To prevent this
the offending allocation is marked KM_PUSHPAGE which will prevent it
from attempting writeback.
Closes#191
Occasionally we would see an -EFAULT returned when setting the
I/O scheduler on a vdev. This was caused an improperly formatted

This commit restructures the command to something simpler, allocates

which is no longer needed.
Closes#169
This change ensures the ARC meta-data limits are enforced. Without
this enforcement meta-data can grow to consume all of the ARC cache
pushing out data and hurting performance. The cache is aggressively
reclaimed but this is a soft and not a hard limit. The cache may
exceed the set limit briefly before being brought under control.
By default 25% of the ARC capacity can be used for meta-data. This
limit can be tuned by setting the 'zfs_arc_meta_limit' module option.
Once this limit is exceeded meta-data reclaim will occur in 3 percent
chunks, or may be tuned using 'arc_reduce_dnlc_percent'.

The function zlib_deflate_workspacesize() now take 2 arguments.
This was done to avoid always having to allocate the maximum size
workspace (268K). The caller can now specific the windowBits and
memLevel compression parameters to get a smaller workspace.
For our purposes we introduce a spl_zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
wrapper which accepts both arguments. When the two argument
version of zlib_deflate_workspacesize() is available the arguments
are passed through. When it's not we assume the worst case and
a maximally sized workspace is used.
The path_lookup() function has been renamed to kern_path_parent()
and the flags argument has been removed. The only behavior now
offered is that of LOOKUP_PARENT. The spl already always passed
this flag so dropping the flag does not impact us.
This is a long over due compatibility change. Way, way, way back
in 2007 there was a push to remove all consumers of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED.
Finally, in 2011 with 2.6.39 all the consumers have been updated
and SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED was removed. It's about time we use the
new API as well, this change does exactly that. DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
was available as far back as 2.6.12 so there doesn't need to be
any additional autoconf-foo for this change.
As part of zfs_ioc_recv() a zfs_cmd_t is allocated in the kernel

flag. This can be revisited latter if/when it becomes an issue.

Flagged by the default -Wunused-but-set-variable gcc option when
running under Fedora 15. Since it's correct this variable is
entirely unused this commit removes it.
To resolve a potiential filesystem corruption issue a second
argument was added to invalidate_inodes(). This argument controls
whether dirty inodes are dropped or treated as busy when invalidating
a super block. When only the legacy API is available the second
argument will be dropped for compatibility.
When compiling ZFS in user space gcc-4.6.0 correctly identifies
the variable 'os' as being set but never used. This generates a
warning and a build failure when using --enable-debug. However,
the code is correct we only want to use 'os' for the kernel space
builds. To suppress the warning the call was wrapped with a
VERIFY() which has the nice side effect of ensuring the 'os'
actually never is NULL. This was observed under Fedora 15.
module/zfs/dsl_pool.c: In function ‘dsl_pool_create’:

Update code to use the spl_invalidate_inodes() wrapper. This hides
some of the complexity of determining if invalidate_inodes() was
exported, and if so what is its prototype. The second argument
of spl_invalidate_inodes() determined the behavior of how dirty
inodes are handled. By passing a zero we are indicated that we
want those inodes to be treated as busy and skipped.
The .sync_fs fix as applied did not use the updated SPL credential
API. This broke builds on Debian Lenny, this change applies the
needed fix to use the portable API. The original credential changes
are part of commit 81e97e2187.
Disable the normal reclaim path for the txg_sync thread. This
ensures the thread will never enter dmu_tx_assign() which can
otherwise occur due to direct reclaim. If this is allowed to
happen the system can deadlock. Direct reclaim call path:
->shrink_icache_memory->prune_icache->dispose_list->
clear_inode->zpl_clear_inode->zfs_inactive->dmu_tx_assign
Under OpenSolaris all memory reclaim is done asyncronously. Under
Linux memory reclaim is done asynchronously _and_ synchronously.
When a process allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL it explicitly allows
the kernel to do reclaim on its behalf to satify the allocation.
If that GFP_KERNEL allocation fails the kernel may take more drastic
measures to reclaim the memory such as killing user space processes.
This was observed to happen with ZFS because the ARC could consume
a large fraction of the system memory but no synchronous reclaim
could be performed on it. The result was GFP_KERNEL allocations
could fail resulting in OOM events, and only moments latter the
arc_reclaim thread would free unused memory from the ARC.
This change leaves the arc_thread in place to manage the fundamental
ARC behavior. But it adds a synchronous (direct) reclaim path for
the ARC which can be called when memory is badly needed. It also
adds an asynchronous (indirect) reclaim path which is called
much more frequently to prune the ARC slab caches.
The following useful values were missing the arcstats. This change
adds them in to provide greater visibility in to the arcs behavior.
arc_no_grow 4 0
arc_tempreserve 4 0
arc_loaned_bytes 4 0
arc_meta_used 4 624774592
arc_meta_limit 4 400785408
arc_meta_max 4 625594176
Under Linux a dentry referencing an inode must be instantiated before
the inode is unlocked. To accomplish this without overly modifing
the core ZFS code the dentry it passed via the vattr_t. There are
cases such as replay when a dentry is not available. In which case
it is obviously not initialized at inode creation time, if a dentry
is needed it will be spliced as when required via d_lookup().
Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune
cached entries from the dcache and icache. After the entries are
pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped.
Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy
access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the
reclaim count. However, in practice this doesn't need to be
exactly correct. We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction
(but not all) of the cache. The caller can determine if more
needs to be done.
One of the most common things you want to know when looking at
the slab is how much memory is being used. This information was
available in /proc/spl/kmem/slab but only on a per-slab basis.
This commit adds the following /proc/sys/kernel/spl/kmem/slab*
entries to make total slab usage easily available at a glance.
slab_kmem_total - Total kmem slab size
slab_kmem_avail - Alloc'd kmem slab size
slab_kmem_max - Max observed kmem slab size
slab_vmem_total - Total vmem slab size
slab_vmem_avail - Alloc'd vmem slab size
slab_vmem_max - Max observed vmem slab size
NOTE: The slab_*_max values are expected to over report because
they show maximum values since boot, not current values.
The 'slab_fail', 'slab_create', and 'slab_destroy' columns in the slab
output have been removed because they are virtually always zero and
not very useful.
The much more useful 'size' and 'alloc' columns have been added which
show the total slab size and how much of the total size has been
allocated to objects.
Finally, the formatting has been updated to be much more human
readable while still being friendly for tool like awk to parse.
The Linux shrinker has gone through three API changes since 2.6.22.
Rather than force every caller to understand all three APIs this
change consolidates the compatibility code in to the mm-compat.h
header. The caller then can then use a single spl provided
shrinker API which does the right thing for your kernel.
SPL_SHRINKER_CALLBACK_PROTO(shrinker_callback, cb, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask);
SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE(shrinker_struct, shrinker_callback, seeks);
spl_register_shrinker(&shrinker_struct);

Making distclean in module
make[1]: Entering directory `/zfs/module'
make -C SUBDIRS=`pwd` clean
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** SUBDIRS=/zfs/module: No such file or directory. Stop.
When using --with-config=user the 'distclean' target would fail
because it assumes the kernel configuration infrastrure is set up.
This is not the case, nor does it need to be, because the
'--with-config=user' option will prune the entire ./module subtree
from SUBDIRS. This prevents most build rules from operating in the
./module directory.
However, the 'dist*' rules will still traverse this directory
because it is listed in DIST_SUBDIRS. This is correct because we
need to ensure the dist rules package the directory contents
regardless of the configuration for the 'dist' rule. The correct
way to handle this is to only invoke the kernel build system as
part of the 'clean' rule when CONFIG_KERNEL_TRUE is set.
Initial fix provided by Darik Horn <dajhorn@vanadac.com>.
This commit is a slightly refined form of the original.
Kernel threads which sleep uninterruptibly on Linux are marked in the (D)
state. These threads are usually in the process of performing IO and are
thus counted against the load average. The txg_quiesce and txg_sync threads
were always sleeping uninterruptibly and thus inflating the load average.
This change makes them sleep interruptibly. Some care is required however
because these threads may now be woken early by signals. In this case the
callers are all careful to check that the required conditions are met after
waking up. If we're woken early due to a signal they will simply go back
to sleep. In this case these changes are safe.
Closes#175
Solaris credentials don't have an fsuid/fsguid field but Linux
credentials do. To handle this case the Solaris API is being
modestly extended to include the crgetfsuid()/crgetfsgid()
helper functions.
Addititionally, because the crget*() helpers are implemented
identically regardless of HAVE_CRED_STRUCT they have been
moved outside the #ifdef to common code. This simplification
means we only have one version of the helper to keep to to date.
The .freeze_fs/.unfreeze_fs hooks were not added until Linux 2.6.29
Since these hooks are currently unused they are being removed to
allow support of older kernels.
As of Linux 2.6.29 a clean credential API was added to the Linux kernel.
Previously the credential was embedded in the task_struct. Because the
SPL already has considerable support for handling this API change the
ZPL code has been updated to use the Solaris credential API.
Now that KM_SLEEP is not defined as GFP_NOFS there is the possibility
of synchronous reclaim deadlocks. These deadlocks never existed in the
original OpenSolaris code because all memory reclaim on Solaris is done
asyncronously. Linux does both synchronous (direct) and asynchronous
(indirect) reclaim.
This commit addresses a deadlock caused by inode eviction. A KM_SLEEP
allocation may trigger direct memory reclaim and shrink the inode cache.
This can occur while a mutex in the array of ZFS_OBJ_HOLD mutexes is
held. Through the ->shrink_icache_memory()->evict()->zfs_inactive()->
zfs_zinactive() call path the same mutex may be reacquired resulting
in a deadlock. To avoid this deadlock the process must not reacquire
the mutex when it is already holding it.
This is a reasonable fix for now but longer term the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD
mutex locking should be reevaluated. This infrastructure already
prevents us from ever using the Linux lock dependency analysis tools,
and it may limit scalability.
It used to be the case that all KM_SLEEP allocations were GFS_NOFS.
Unfortunately this often resulted in the kernel being unable to
reclaim the ARC, inode, and dentry caches in a timely manor.
The fix was to make KM_SLEEP a GFP_KERNEL allocation in the SPL.
However, this increases the posibility of deadlocking the system
on a zfs write thread. If a zfs write thread attempts to perform
an allocation it may trigger synchronous reclaim. This reclaim
may attempt to flush dirty data/inode to disk to free memory.
Unforunately, this write cannot finish because the write thread
which would handle it is holding the previous transaction open.
Deadlock.
To avoid this all allocations in the zfs write thread path must
use KM_PUSHPAGE which prohibits synchronous reclaim for that
thread. In this way forward progress in ensured. The risk
with this change is I missed updating an allocation for the
write threads leaving an increased posibility of deadlock. If
any deadlocks remain they will be unlikely but we'll have to
make sure they all get fixed.
As part of vmalloc() a __pte_alloc_kernel() allocation may occur. This
internal allocation does not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
This means even when vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) is called it is possible that a
synchronous reclaim will occur. This reclaim can trigger file IO which
can result in a deadlock. This issue can be avoided by explicitly
setting PF_MEMALLOC on the process to subvert synchronous reclaim when
vmalloc() is called with !__GFP_FS.
An example stack of the deadlock can be found here (1), along with the
upstream kernel bug (2), and the original bug discussion on the
linux-mm mailing list (3). This code can be properly autoconf'ed
when the upstream bug is fixed.

Register the missing .remount_fs handler. This handler isn't strictly
required because the VFS does a pretty good job updating most of the
MS_* flags. However, there's no harm in using the hook to call the
registered zpl callback for various MS_* flags. Additionaly, this
allows us to lay the ground work for more complicated argument parsing
in the future.
Register the missing .sync_fs handler. This is a noop in most cases
because the usual requirement is that sync just be initiated. As part
of the DMU's normal transaction processing txgs will be frequently
synced. However, when the 'wait' flag is set the requirement is that
.sync_fs must not return until the data is safe on disk. With the
addition of the .sync_fs handler this is now properly implemented.
ZFS should only change the i/o scheduler for a disk when it has
ownership of the whole disk. This is basically the same logic as
adjusting the write cache behavior on a disk. This change updates
the vdev disk code to skip partitions when setting the i/o scheduler.
Closes#152
Due to an uninitialized variable files opened with O_APPEND may
overwrite the start of the file rather than append to it. This
was introduced accidentally when I removed the Solaris vnodes.
The zfs_range_lock_writer() function used to key off zf->z_vnode
to determine if a znode_t was for a zvol of zpl object. With
the removal of vnodes this was replaced by the flag zp->z_is_zvol.
This flag was used to control the append behavior for range locks.
Unfortunately, this value was never properly initialized after
the vnode removal. However, because most of memory is usually
zeros it happened to be set correctly most of the time making
the bug appear racy. Properly initializing zp->z_is_zvol to
zero completely resolves the problem with O_APPEND.
Closes#126
Move 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk' from the stack to the heap to minimize
stack space usage. These two arrays consumed 448 bytes on the stack
and have been replaced by two 8 byte points for a total stack space
saving of 432 bytes. The zfs_setattr() path had been previously
observed to overrun the stack in certain circumstances.
The original range lock implementation had to be modified by commit
8926ab7 because it was unsafe on Linux. In particular, calling
cv_destroy() immediately after cv_broadcast() is dangerous because
the waiters may still be asleep. Thus the following cv_destroy()
will free memory which may still be in use.
This was fixed by updating cv_destroy() to block on waiters but
this in turn introduced a deadlock. The deadlock was resolved
with the use of a taskq to move the offending free outside the
range lock. This worked well but using the taskq for the free
resulted in a serious performace hit. This is somewhat ironic
because at the time I felt using the taskq might improve things
by making the free asynchronous.
This patch refines the original fix and moves the free from the
taskq to a private free list. Then items which must be free'd
are simply inserted in to the list. When the range lock is dropped
it's safe to free the items. The list is walked and all rl_t
entries are freed.
This change improves small cached read performance by 26x. This
was expected because for small reads the number of locking calls
goes up significantly. More surprisingly this change significantly
improves large cache read performance. This probably attributable
to better cpu/memory locality. Very likely the same processor
which allocated the memory is now freeing it.

In the original implementation the zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks
were dropped for simplicity. This was functional but not 100%
correct with the expected ZFS sematics. Updating and re-adding the
zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks resolves the following issues.
1) The ZFS_APPENDONLY file attribute is once again honored. While
there are still no Linux tools to set/clear these attributes once
there are it should behave correctly.
2) Minimal virus scan file attribute hooks were added. Once again
this support in disabled but the infrastructure is back in place.
3) Most importantly correctly handle assigning files which were
opened syncronously to the intent log. Without this change O_SYNC
modifications could be lost during a system crash even though they
were marked synchronous.
Filesystems like ZFS must use what the kernel calls an anonymous super
block. Basically, this is just a filesystem which is not backed by a
single block device. Normally this block device's dev_t is stored in
the super block. For anonymous super blocks a unique reserved dev_t
is assigned as part of get_sb().
This sb->s_dev must then be set in the returned stat structures as
stat->st_dev. This allows userspace utilities to easily detect the
boundries of a specific filesystem. Tools such as 'du' depend on this
for proper accounting.
Additionally, under OpenSolaris the statfs->f_fsid is set to the device
id. To preserve consistency with OpenSolaris we also set the fsid to
the device id. Other Linux filesystem (ext) set the fsid to a unique
value determined by the filesystems uuid. This value is unique but
maintains no relationship to the device id. This may be desirable
when exporting NFS filesystem because it minimizes to chance of a
client observing the same fsid from two different servers.
Closes#140
The AT_ versions of these macros are used on Solaris and while they
map to their Linux equivilants the code has been updated to use the
ATTR_ versions.
Move 'tmpxvattr' from the stack to the heap to minimize stack
space usage. This is enough to get us below the 1024 byte stack
frame warning. That however is still a large stack frame and it
should be further reduced by moving the 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk'
sa_bulk_attr_t variables to the heap in a future patch.
When I began work on the Posix layer it immediately became clear to
me that to integrate cleanly with the Linux VFS certain Solaris
specific things would have to go. One of these things was to elimate
as many Solaris specific types from the ZPL layer as possible. They
would be replaced with their Linux equivalents. This would not only
be good for performance, but for the general readability and health of
the code. The Solaris and Linux VFS are different beasts and should
be treated as such. Most of the code remains common for constructing
transactions and such, but there are subtle and important differenced
which need to be repsected.
This policy went quite for for certain types such as the vnode_t,
and it initially seemed to be working out well for the vattr_t. There
was a relatively small amount of related xvattr_t code I was forced to
comment out with HAVE_XVATTR. But it didn't look that hard to come
back soon and replace it all with a native Linux type.
However, after going doing this path with xvattr some distance it
clear that this code was woven in the ZPL more deeply than I thought.
In particular its hooks went very deep in to the ZPL replay code
and replacing it would not be as easy as I originally thought.
Rather than continue persuing replacing and removing this code I've
taken a step back and reevaluted things. This commit reverts many of
my previous commits which removed xvattr related code. It restores
much of the code to its original upstream state and now relies on
improved xvattr_t support in the zfs package itself.
The result of this is that much of the code which I had commented
out, which accidentally broke things like replay, is now back in
place and working. However, there may be a small performance
impact for getattr/setattr operations because they now require
a translation from native Linux to Solaris types. For now that's
a price I'm willing to pay. Once everything is completely functional
we can revisting the issue of removing the vattr_t/xvattr_t types.
Closes#111
The xvattr support in the spl has always simply consisted of
defining a couple structures and a few #defines. This was enough
to enable compilation of code which just passed xvattr types
around but not enough to effectively manipulate them.
This change removes even this minimal support leaving it up
to packages which leverage the spl to prove the full xvattr
support. By removing it from the spl we ensure not conflict
with the higher level packages.
This just leaves minimal vnode support for basical manipulation
of files. This code is does have the proper support functions
in the spl and a set of regression tests.
Additionally, this change removed the unused 'caller_context_t *'
type and replaces it with a 'void *'.

A zlib regression test has been added to verify the correct behavior
of z_compress_level() and z_uncompress. The test case simply takes
a 128k buffer, it compresses the buffer, it them uncompresses the
buffer, and finally it compares the buffers after the transform.
If the buffers match then everything is fine and no data was lost.
It performs this test for all 9 zlib compression levels.
While portions of the code needed to support z_compress_level() and
z_uncompress() where in place. In reality the current implementation
was non-functional, it just was compilable.
The critical missing component was to setup a workspace for the
compress/uncompress stream structures to use. A kmem_cache was
added for the workspace area because we require a large chunk
of memory. This avoids to need to continually alloc/free this
memory and vmap() the pages which is very slow. Several objects
will reside in the per-cpu kmem_cache making them quick to acquire
and release. A further optimization would be to adjust the
implementation to additional ensure the memory is local to the cpu.
Currently that may not be the case.
There were two cases when attempting to set the vdev block device
scheduler which would causes console warnings.
The first case was when the vdev used a loop, ram, dm, or other
such device which doesn't support a configurable scheduler. In
these cases attempting to set a scheduler is pointless and can
be safely skipped.
The secord case is slightly more troubling. We were seeing
transient cases where setting the elevator would return -EFAULT.
On retry everything is fine so there appears to be a small window
where this is possible. To handle that case we silently retry
up to three times before reporting the warning.
In all of the above cases the warning is harmless and at worse you
may see slightly different performance characteristics from one
or more of your vdevs.
This commit allows zvols with names longer than 32 characters, which
fixes issue on https://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/issues/#issue/102.
Changes include:
- use /dev/zd* device names for zvol, where * is the device minor
(include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c).
- add BLKZNAME ioctl to get dataset name from userland
(include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c, cmd/zvol_id).
- add udev rule to create /dev/zvol/[dataset_name] and the legacy
/dev/[dataset_name] symlink. For partitions on zvol, it will create
/dev/zvol/[dataset_name]-part* (etc/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules,
cmd/zvol_id).

Remove custom code to pack/unpack dev_t's. Under Linux all dev_t's
are an unsigned 32-bit value even on 64-bit platforms. The lower
20 bits are used for the minor number and the upper 12 for the major
number.
This means if your importing a pool from Solaris you may get strange
major/minor numbers. But it doesn't really matter because even if
we add compatibility code to translate the encoded Solaris major/minor
they won't do you any good under Linux. You will still need to
recreate the dev_t with a major/minor which maps to reserved major
numbers used under Linux.
Dropping this code also resolves 32-bit builds by removing the
offending 32-bit compatibility code.
ASSERT3P should be used instead of ASSERT3U when comparing
pointers. Using ASSERT3U with the cast causes a compiler
warning for 32-bit builds which is fatal with --enable-debug.
The underlying storage pool actually uses multiple block
size. Under Solaris frsize (fragment size) is reported as
the smallest block size we support, and bsize (block size)
as the filesystem's maximum block size. Unfortunately,
under Linux the fragment size and block size are often used
interchangeably. Thus we are forced to report both of them
as the filesystem's maximum block size.
Closes#112
Because the secpolicy_* macros are all currently defined to (0).
And because the caller of this function does not check the return
code. The compiler complains that this statement has no effect
which is correct and OK. To suppress the warning explictly cast
the result to (void).
Generally it's a good idea to use enums for switch statements,
but in this case it causes warning because the enum is really a
set of flags. These flags are OR'ed together in some cases
resulting in values which are not part of the original enum.
This causes compiler warning such as this about invalid cases.
error: case value ‘33’ not in enumerated type ‘zprop_source_t’
To handle this we simply case the enum to an int for the switch
statement. This leaves all other enum type checking in place
and effectively disabled these warnings.
In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules. This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.
Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address. The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn. Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address. All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.
Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.
For legacy reasons the zvol.c and vdev_disk.c Linux compatibility
code ended up in sys/blkdev.h and sys/vdev_disk.h headers. While
there are worse places for this code to live it should be in a
linux/blkdev_compat.h header. This change moves this block device
Linux compatibility code in to the linux/blkdev_compat.h header
and updates all the correct #include locations. This is not a
functional change or bug fix, it is just code cleanup.
When changing the uid/gid of a file via zfs_setattr() use the
Posix id passed in iattr->ia_uid/gid. While the zfs_fuid_create()
code already had the fuid support disabled for Linux it was
returning the uid/gid from the credential. With this change
the 'chown' command which relies on setxattr is now working
properly.
Also remove a little stray white space which was in front of
zfs_update_inode() call and the end of zfs_setattr().
Under Linux sys_symlink(2) should result in a inode being created
with one reference for the inode itself, and a second reference on
the inode which is held by the new dentry. Under Solaris this
appears not to be the case. Their zfs_symlink() handler drops
the inode reference before returning.
The result of this under Linux is that the reference count for
symlinks is always one smaller than it should have been. This
results in a BUG() when the symlink is unlinked. To handle this
the Linux port now keeps the inode reference which differs from
the Solaris behavior. This results in correct reference counts.
Closes#96
The zfs_readlink() function returns a Solaris positive error value
and that needs to be converted to a Linux negative error value.
While in this case nothing would actually go wrong, it's still
incorrect and should be fixed if for no other reason than clarity.
This patch addresses three issues related to symlinks.
1) Revert the zfs_follow_link() function to a modified version
of the original zfs_readlink(). The only changes from the
original OpenSolaris version relate to using Linux types.
For the moment this means no vnode's and no zfsvfs_t. The
caller zpl_follow_link() was also updated accordingly. This
change was reverted because it was slightly gratuitious.
2) Update zpl_follow_link() to use local variables for the
link buffer. I'd forgotten that iov.iov_base is updated by
uiomove() so after the call to zfs_readlink() it can not longer
be used. We need our own private copy of the link pointer.
3) Allocate MAXPATHLEN instead of MAXPATHLEN+1. By default
MAXPATHLEN is 4096 bytes which is a full page, adding one to
it pushes it slightly over a page. That means you'll likely
end up allocating 2 pages which is wasteful of memory and
possibly slightly slower.
This adds an API to wait for pending commit callbacks of already-synced
transactions to finish processing. This is needed by the DMU-OSD in
Lustre during device finalization when some callbacks may still not be
called, this leads to non-zero reference count errors. See lustre.org
bug 23931.
While the attr/xattr hooks were already in place for regular
files this hooks can also apply to directories and special files.
While they aren't typically used in this way, it should be
supported. This patch registers these additional callbacks
for both directory and special inode types.
Under Linux when creating a fifo or socket type device in the ZFS
filesystem it's critical that the rdev is stored in a SA. This
was already being correctly done for character and block devices,
but that logic needed to be extended to include FIFOs and sockets.
This patch takes care of device creation but a follow on patch
may still be required to verify that the dev_t is being correctly
packed/unpacked from the SA.
It was noticed that when you have zvols in multiple datasets
not all of the zvol devices are created at module load time.
Fajarnugraha did the leg work to identify that the root cause of
this bug is a non-zero return value from zvol_create_minors_cb().
Returning a non-zero value from the dmu_objset_find_spa() callback
function results in aborting processing the remaining children in
a dataset. Since we want to ensure that the callback in run on
all children regardless of error simply unconditionally return
zero from the zvol_create_minors_cb(). This callback function
is solely used for this purpose so surpressing the error is safe.
Closes#96
The new prefered inteface for evicting an inode from the inode cache
is the ->evict_inode() callback. It replaces both the ->delete_inode()
and ->clear_inode() callbacks which were previously used for this.
The xattr handler prototypes were sanitized with the idea being that
the same handlers could be used for multiple methods. The result of
this was the inode type was changes to a dentry, and both the get()
and set() hooks had a handler_flags argument added. The list()
callback was similiarly effected but no autoconf check was added
because we do not use the list() callback.
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.
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.
Initial testing has shown the the right IO scheduler to use under Linux
is noop. This strikes the ideal balance by allowing the zfs elevator
to do all request ordering and prioritization. While allowing the
Linux elevator to do the maximum front/back merging allowed by the
physical device. This yields the largest possible requests for the
device with the lowest total overhead.
While 'noop' should be right for your system you can choose a different
IO scheduler with the 'zfs_vdev_scheduler' option. You may set this
value to any of the standard Linux schedulers: noop, cfq, deadline,
anticipatory. In addition, if you choose 'none' zfs will not attempt
to change the IO scheduler for the block device.
The following warning was observed under normal operation. It's
not fatal but it's something to be addressed long term. Flag the
offending allocation with KM_NODEBUG to suppress the warning and
flag the call site.

When performing a 'zfs rollback' it's critical to invalidate
the previous dcache and inode cache. If we don't there will
stale cache entries which when accessed will result in EIOs.
With the recent SPL change (d599e4fa) that forces cv_destroy()
to block until all waiters have been woken. It is now unsafe
to call cv_destroy() under the zp->z_range_lock() because it
is used as the condition variable mutex. If there are waiters
cv_destroy() will block until they wake up and aquire the mutex.
However, they will never aquire the mutex because cv_destroy()
will not return allowing it's caller to drop the lock. Deadlock.
To avoid this cv_destroy() is now run asynchronously in a taskq.
This solves two problems:
1) It is no longer run under the zp->z_range_lock so no deadlock.
2) Since cv_destroy() may now block we don't want this slowing
down zfs_range_unlock() and throttling the system.
This was not as much of an issue under OpenSolaris because their
cv_destroy() implementation does not do anything. They do however
risk a bad paging request if cv_destroy() returns, the memory holding
the condition variable is free'd, and then the waiters wake up and
try to reference it. It's a very small unlikely race, but it is
possible.
It's worth taking a moment to describe how mmap is implemented
for zfs because it differs considerably from other Linux filesystems.
However, this issue is handled the same way under OpenSolaris.
The issue is that by design zfs bypasses the Linux page cache and
leaves all caching up to the ARC. This has been shown to work
well for the common read(2)/write(2) case. However, mmap(2)
is problem because it relies on being tightly integrated with the
page cache. To handle this we cache mmap'ed files twice, once in
the ARC and a second time in the page cache. The code is careful
to keep both copies synchronized.
When a file with an mmap'ed region is written to using write(2)
both the data in the ARC and existing pages in the page cache
are updated. For a read(2) data will be read first from the page
cache then the ARC if needed. Neither a write(2) or read(2) will
will ever result in new pages being added to the page cache.
New pages are added to the page cache only via .readpage() which
is called when the vfs needs to read a page off disk to back the
virtual memory region. These pages may be modified without
notifying the ARC and will be written out periodically via
.writepage(). This will occur due to either a sync or the usual
page aging behavior. Note because a read(2) of a mmap'ed file
will always check the page cache first even when the ARC is out
of date correct data will still be returned.
While this implementation ensures correct behavior it does have
have some drawbacks. The most obvious of which is that it
increases the required memory footprint when access mmap'ed
files. It also adds additional complexity to the code keeping
both caches synchronized.
Longer term it may be possible to cleanly resolve this wart by
mapping page cache pages directly on to the ARC buffers. The
Linux address space operations are flexible enough to allow
selection of which pages back a particular index. The trick
would be working out the details of which subsystem is in
charge, the ARC, the page cache, or both. It may also prove
helpful to move the ARC buffers to a scatter-gather lists
rather than a vmalloc'ed region.
Additionally, zfs_write/read_common() were used in the readpage
and writepage hooks because it was fairly easy. However, it
would be better to update zfs_fillpage and zfs_putapage to be
Linux friendly and use them instead.
The Linux specific xattr operations have all been located in the
file zpl_xattr.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.
The Linux specific super block operations have all been located in the
file zpl_super.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.
The Linux specific inode operations have all been located in the
file zpl_inode.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.
The Linux specific file operations have all been located in the
file zpl_file.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.
This first zpl_* commit also includes a common zpl.h header with
minimal entries to register the Linux specific hooks. In also
adds all the new zpl_* file to the Makefile.in. This is not a
standalone commit, you required the following zpl_* commits.
For the moment exactly how to handle xvattr is not clear. This
change largely consists of the code to comment out the offending
bits until something reasonable can be done.
A new flag is required for the zfs_rlock code to determine if
it is operation of the zvol of zpl dataset. This used to be
keyed off the zp->z_vnode, which was a hack to begin with, but
with the removal of vnodes we needed a dedicated flag.
I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit.
When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing
that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure
there's much merrit in it. As such I'll just summerize the intent
of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit. Broadly
the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible
and replace it with native Linux equivilants. More specifically:
1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t. While the
type is largely the same calling it private super block data
rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names
this. While non critical it makes the code easier to read when
your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms.
2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode. The Linux VFS doesn't have
the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to
create one. There are in fact several good reasons to remove it.
It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it
conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's
a good change it will be out of date. The code has been updated
to remove all need for this type.
3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types. Along with this shift
all uses of types to mode bits. The Solaris code would pass a
vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode. Just update all the
code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy.
4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with
inode helpers. The big example here is creating iput_aync to
replace vn_rele_async. Other vn helpers will be addressed as
needed but they should be be emulated. They are a Solaris VFS'ism
and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants.
5) Update znode alloc/free code. Under Linux it's common to
embed the inode specific data with the inode itself. This removes
the need for an extra memory allocation. In zfs this information
is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it. Allocators
have been updated accordingly.
6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the
super block and handling mount options has been added this
code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there.
This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.
For the moment we do not use dmu_write_pages() to write pages
directly in to a dmu object. It may be required at some point
in the future, but for now is simplest and cleanest to drop it.
It can be easily readded if/when needed.
For portability reasons it's handy to be able to create a root
znode and basic filesystem components without requiring the full
cooperation of the VFS. We are committing to this to simply the
filesystem creations code.
This code is used for snapshot and heavily leverages Solaris
functionality we do not want to reimplement. These files have
been removed, including references to them, and will be replaced
by a zfs_snap.c/zpl_snap.c implementation which handles snapshots.
Minor update to ensure zfs_sync() is disabled if a kernel oops/panic
is triggered. As the comment says 'data integrity is job one'. This
change could have been done by defining panicstr to oops_in_progress
in the SPL. But I felt it was better to use the native Linux API
here since to be clear.
This flag does not need to be support under Linux. As the comment
says it was only there to support fsflush() for old filesystem like
UFS. This is not needed under Linux.
Mount option parsing is still very Linux specific and will be
handled above this zfs filesystem layer. Honoring those mount
options once set if of course the responsibility of the lower
layers.
This variable was used to ensure that the ZFS module is never
removed while the filesystem is mounted. Once again the generic
Linux VFS handles this case for us so it can be removed.
The functions zfs_mount_label_policy(), zfs_mountroot(), zfs_mount()
will not be needed because most of what they do is already handled
by the generic Linux VFS layer. They all call zfs_domount() which
creates the actual dataset, the caller of this library call which
will be in the zpl layer is responsible for what's left.
Under Linux we don't need to reserve a major or minor number for
the filesystem. We can rely on the VFS to handle colisions without
this being handled by the lower ZFS layers.
Additionally, there is no need to keep a zfsfstype around. We are
not limited on Linux by the OpenSolaris infrastructure which needed
this. The upper zpl layer can specify the filesystem type.
The ZFS code is being restructured to act as a library and a stand
alone module. This allows us to leverage most of the existing code
with minimal modification. It also means we need to drop the Solaris
vfs/vnode functions they will be replaced by Linux equivilants and
updated to be Linux friendly.
For the moment we have left ZFS unchanged and it updates many values
as part of the znode. However, some of these values should be set
in the inode. For the moment this is handled by adding a function
called zfs_inode_update() which updates the inode based on the znode.
This is considered a workaround until we can systematically go
through the ZFS code and have it directly update the inode. At
which point zfs_update_inode() can be dropped entirely. Keeping
two copies of the same data isn't only inefficient it's a breeding
ground for bugs.
Under Linux the convention for filesystem specific data structure is
to embed it along with the generic vfs data structure. This differs
significantly from Solaris.
Since we want to integrates as cleanly with the Linux VFS as possible.
This changes modifies zfs_znode_alloc() to allocate a znode with an
embedded inode for use with the generic VFS. This is done by calling
iget_locked() which will allocate a new inode if needed by calling
sb->alloc_inode(). This function allocates enough memory for a
znode_t by returns a pointer to the inode structure for Linux's VFS.
This function is also responsible for setting the callback
znode->z_set_ops_inodes() which is used to register the correct
handlers for the inode.
Basic compilation of the bulk of zfs_znode.c has been enabled. After
much consideration it was decided to convert the existing vnode based
interfaces to more friendly Linux interfaces. The following commits
will systematically replace update the requiter interfaces. There
are of course pros and cons to this decision.
Pros:
* This simplifies intergration with Linux in the long term. There is
no longer any need to manage vnodes which are a foreign concept to
the Linux VFS.
* Improved long term maintainability.
* Minor performance improvements by removing vnode overhead.
Cons:
* Added work in the short term to modify multiple ZFS interfaces.
* Harder to pull in changes if we ever see any new code from Solaris.
* Mixed Solaris and Linux interfaces in some ZFS code.
This code originates in OpenSolaris and was modified by KQ Infotech
to be compatible with Linux. While supporting uios in the short
term is useful to get something working this is not an abstraction
we want to keep. This code is expected to be short lived and
removed as soon as all the remaining uio based APIs and updated.
The zfs acl code makes use of the two OpenSolaris helper functions
acl_trivial_access_masks() and ace_trivial_common(). Since they are
only called from zfs_acl.c I've brought them over from OpenSolaris
and added them as static function to this file. This way I don't
need to reimplement this functionality from scratch in the SPL.
Long term once I take a more careful look at the acl implementation
it may be the case that these functions really aren't needed. If
that turns out to be the case they can then be removed.
Remove unneeded bootfs functions. This support shouldn't be required
for the Linux port, and even if it is it would need to be reworked
to integrate cleanly with Linux.
Certain NFS/SMB share functionality is not yet in place. These
functions used to be wrapped with the generic HAVE_ZPL to prevent
them from being compiled. I still don't want them compiled but
I'm working toward eliminating the use of HAVE_ZPL. So I'm just
renaming the wrapper here to HAVE_SHARE. They still won't be
compiled until all the share issues are worked through. Share
support is the last missing piece from zfs_ioctl.c.
The zfs_check_global_label() function is part of the HAVE_MLSLABEL
support which was previously commented out by a HAVE_ZPL check.
Since we're still deciding what to do about mls labels wrap it
with the preexisting macro to keep it compiled out.
Unlike Solaris the Linux implementation embeds the inode in the
znode, and has no use for a vnode. So while it's true that fragmention
of the znode cache may occur it should not be worse than any of the
other Linux FS inode caches. Until proven that this is a problem it's
just added complexity we don't need.
These functions were dropped originally because I felt they would
need to be rewritten anyway to avoid using uios. However, this
patch readds then with they dea they can just be reworked and
the uio bits dropped.
Previously we would ASSERT in cv_destroy() if it was ever called
with active waiters. However, I've now seen several instances in
OpenSolaris code where they do the following:
cv_broadcast();
cv_destroy();
This leaves no time for active waiters to be woken up and scheduled
and we trip the ASSERT. This has not been observed to be an issue
on OpenSolaris because their cv_destroy() basically does nothing.
They still do run the risk of the memory being free'd after the
cv_destroy() and hitting a bad paging request. But in practice
this race is so small and unlikely it either doesn't happen, or
is so unlikely when it does happen the root cause has not yet been
identified.
Rather than risk the same issue in our code this change updates
cv_destroy() to block until all waiters have been woken and
scheduled. This may take some time because each waiter must
acquire the mutex.
This change may have an impact on performance for frequently
created and destroyed condition variables. That however is a price
worth paying it avoid crashing your system. If performance issues
are observed they can be addressed by the caller.
Previously these were defined to noops but rather than give
the misleading impression that these are actually implemented
I'm removing the type entirely for clarity.
Both of these caches were previously allowed to be either a
vmem or kmem cache based on the size of the object involved.
Since we know the object won't be to large and performce is
much better for a kmem cache for them to be kmem backed.
The cv_timedwait() function by definition must wait unconditionally
for cv_signal()/cv_broadcast() before waking. This causes processes
to go in the D state which increases the load average. The load
average is the summation of processes in D state and run queue.
To avoid this it can be desirable to sleep interruptibly. These
processes do not count against the load average but may be woken by
a signal. It is up to the caller to determine why the process
was woken it may be for one of three reasons.
1) cv_signal()/cv_broadcast()
2) the timeout expired
3) a signal was received

Create spl_inode_lock/spl_inode_unlock compability macros to simply
access to the inode mutex/sem. This avoids the need to have to ugly
up the code with the required #define's at every call site. At the
moment the SPL only uses this in one place but higher layers can
benefit from the macro.
During a rename we need to be careful to destroy and create a
new minor for the ZVOL _only_ if the rename succeeded. The previous
code would both destroy you minor device unconditionally, it would
also fail to create the new minor device on success.
These compiler warnings were introduced when code which was
previously #ifdef'ed out by HAVE_ZPL was re-added for use
by the posix layer. All of the following changes should be
obviously correct and will cause no semantic changes.
The issue is that cv_timedwait() sleeps uninterruptibly to block signals
and avoid waking up early. Under Linux this counts against the load
average keeping it artificially high. This change allows the arc to
sleep interruptibly which mean it may be woken up early due to a signal.
Normally this means some extra care must be taken to handle a potential
signal. But for the arcs usage of cv_timedwait() there is no harm in
waking up before the timeout expires so no extra handling is required.
To validate the correct behavior of the TSD interfaces it's
important that we add a regression test. This test is designed
to minimally exercise the fundamental TSD behavior, it does not
attempt to validate all potential corner cases.
The test will first create 32 keys via tsd_create() and register
a common destructor. Next 16 wait threads will be created each
of which set/verify a random value for all 32 keys, then block
waiting to be released by the control thread. Meanwhile the
control thread verifies that none of the destructors have been
run prematurely.
The next phase of the test is to create 16 exit threads which
set/verify a random value for all 32 keys. They then immediately
exit. This is is designed to verify tsd_exit() which will be
called via thread_exit(). This must result in all registered
destructors being run and the memory for the tsd being free'd.
After this tsd_destroy() is verified by destroying all 32 keys.
Once again we must see the expected number of destructors run
and the tsd memory free'd. At this point the blocked threads
are released and they exit calling tsd_exit() which should do
very little since all the tsd has already been destroyed.
If this all goes off without a hitch the test passes. To ensure
no memory has been leaked, I have manually verified that after
spl module unload no memory is reported leaked.
Thread specific data has implemented using a hash table, this avoids
the need to add a member to the task structure and allows maximum
portability between kernels. This implementation has been optimized
to keep the tsd_set() and tsd_get() times as small as possible.
The majority of the entries in the hash table are for specific tsd
entries. These entries are hashed by the product of their key and
pid because by design the key and pid are guaranteed to be unique.
Their product also has the desirable properly that it will be uniformly
distributed over the hash bins providing neither the pid nor key is zero.
Under linux the zero pid is always the init process and thus won't be
used, and this implementation is careful to never to assign a zero key.
By default the hash table is sized to 512 bins which is expected to
be sufficient for light to moderate usage of thread specific data.
The hash table contains two additional type of entries. They first
type is entry is called a 'key' entry and it is added to the hash during
tsd_create(). It is used to store the address of the destructor function
and it is used as an anchor point. All tsd entries which use the same
key will be linked to this entry. This is used during tsd_destory() to
quickly call the destructor function for all tsd associated with the key.
The 'key' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the
key you wish to lookup and DTOR_PID constant as the pid.
The second type of entry is called a 'pid' entry and it is added to the
hash the first time a process set a key. The 'pid' entry is also used
as an anchor and all tsd for the process will be linked to it. This
list is using during tsd_exit() to ensure all registered destructors
are run for the process. The 'pid' entry may be looked up with
tsd_hash_search() by passing the PID_KEY constant as the key, and
the process pid. Note that tsd_exit() is called by thread_exit()
so if your using the Solaris thread API you should not need to call
tsd_exit() directly.
For debugging purposes the condition varaibles keep track of the
mutex used during a wait. The idea is to validate that all callers
always use the same mutex. Unfortunately, we have seen cases where
the caller reuses the condition variable with a different mutex but
in a way which is known to be safe. My reading of the man pages
suggests you should not do this and always cv_destroy()/cv_init()
a new mutex. However, there is overhead in doing this and it does
appear to be allowed under Solaris.
To accomidate this behavior cv_wait_common() and __cv_timedwait()
have been modified to clear the associated mutex when the last
waiter is dropped. This ensures that while the condition variable
is in use the incorrect mutex case is detected. It also allows the
condition variable to be safely recycled without requiring the
overhead of a cv_destroy()/cv_init() as long as it isn't currently
in use.
Finally, spin lock cv->cv_lock was removed because it is not required.
When the condition variable is used properly the caller will always
be holding the mutex so the spin lock is redundant. The lock was
originally added because I expected to need to protect more than
just the cv->cv_mutex. It turns out that was not the case.

This commit fixes a sign extension bug affecting l2arc devices. Extremely
large offsets may be passed down to the low level block device driver on
reads, generating errors similar to
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdbi1: rw=14, want=36028797014862705, limit=125026959
The unwanted sign extension occurrs because the function arc_read_nolock()
stores the offset as a daddr_t, a 32-bit signed int type in the Linux kernel.
This offset is then passed to zio_read_phys() as a uint64_t argument, causing
sign extension for values of 0x80000000 or greater. To avoid this, we store
the offset in a uint64_t.
This change also changes a few daddr_t struct members to uint64_t in the libspl
headers to avoid similar bugs cropping up in the future. We also add an ASSERT
to __vdev_disk_physio() to check for invalid offsets.

As of linux-2.6.36 the last in-tree consumer of fops->ioctl() has
been removed and thus fops()->ioctl() has also been removed. The
replacement hook is fops->unlocked_ioctl() which has existed in
kernel since 2.6.12. Since the ZFS code only contains support
back to 2.6.18 vintage kernels, I'm not adding an autoconf check
for this and simply moving everything to use fops->unlocked_ioctl().
The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*
and REQ_* flags. The new flag is called REQ_SYNC. To simplify
checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function. Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.
Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio:
2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO
2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC
Commit 3ee56c292b changed an ENOTSUP return value

consistent with user space. The changed return value in the above commit is
therefore no longer needed, so this commit reverses it to maintain consistency.

In the linux-2.6.36 kernel the fs_struct lock was changed from a
rwlock_t to a spinlock_t. If the kernel would export the set_fs_pwd()
symbol by default this would not have caused us any issues, but they
don't. So we're forced to add a new autoconf check which sets the
HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used. We can
then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom
set_fs_pwd() implementation.
Flagged by the default compile options on archlinux 2010.05, we should
be using the krw_t type not the krw_type_t type in the private data.

Support for rolling back datasets require a functional ZPL, which we currently
do not have. The zfs command does not check for ZPL support before attempting
a rollback, and in preparation for rolling back a zvol it removes the minor
node of the device. To prevent the zvol device node from disappearing after a
failed rollback operation, this change wraps the zfs_do_rollback() function in
an #ifdef HAVE_ZPL and returns ENOSYS in the absence of a ZPL. This is
consistent with the behavior of other ZPL dependent commands such as mount.
The orginal error message observed with this bug was rather confusing:
internal error: Unknown error 524
Aborted
This was because zfs_ioc_rollback() returns ENOTSUP if we don't HAVE_ZPL, but
Linux actually has no such error code. It should instead return EOPNOTSUPP, as
that is how ENOTSUP is defined in user space. With that we would have gotten
the somewhat more helpful message
cannot rollback 'tank/fish': unsupported version
This is rather a moot point with the above changes since we will no longer make
that ioctl call without a ZPL. But, this change updates the error code just in
case.

Increasing the default zio_wr_int thread count from 8 to 16 improves
write performence by 13% on large systems. More testing need to be
done but I suspect the ideal tuning here is ZTI_BATCH() with a minimum
of 8 threads.
Linux kernel thread names are expected to be short. This change shortens
the zio thread names to 10 characters leaving a few chracters to append
the /<cpuid> to which the thread is bound. For example: z_wr_iss/0.
On some older kernels, i.e. 2.6.18, zvol_ioctl_by_inode() may get passed a NULL
file pointer if the user tries to mount a zvol without a filesystem on it.
This change adds checks to prevent a null pointer dereference.

As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument. The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it. This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.
To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API. Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments. For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.
It turns out that 'zpool events' over 1024 bytes in size where being
silently dropped. This was discovered while writing the zfault.sh
tests to validate common failure modes.
This could occur because the zfs interface for passing an arbitrary
size nvlist_t over an ioctl() is to provide a buffer for the packed
nvlist which is usually big enough. In this case 1024 byte is the
default. If the kernel determines the buffer is to small it returns
ENOMEM and the minimum required size of the nvlist_t. This was
working properly but in the case of 'zpool events' the event stream
was advanced dispite the error. Thus the retry with the bigger
buffer would succeed but it would skip over the previous event.
The fix is to pass this size to zfs_zevent_next() and determine
before removing the event from the list if it will fit. This was
preferable to checking after the event was returned because this
avoids the need to rewind the stream.
While there is no right maximum timeout for a disk IO we can start
laying the ground work to measure how long they do take in practice.
This change simply measures the IO time and if it exceeds 30s an
event is posted for 'zpool events'.
This value was carefully selected because for sd devices it implies
that at least one timeout (SD_TIMEOUT) has occured. Unfortunately,
even with FAILFAST set we may retry and request and not get an
error. This behavior is strongly dependant on the device driver
and how it is hooked in to the scsi error handling stack. However
by setting the limit at 30s we can log the event even if no error
was returned.
Slightly longer term we can start recording these delays perhaps
as a simple power-of-two histrogram. This histogram can then be
reported as part of the 'zpool status' command when given an command
line option.
None of this code changes the internal behavior of ZFS. Currently
it is simply for reporting excessively long delays.
ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device
failure occurs. This allows it to immediately start any recovery
actions which may be needed. In theory Linux supports a flag which
can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick
notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers.
That's the theory at least. In practice is turns out that while the
flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag.
And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level
drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the
right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer.
Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much
which can be done to improve this. Basically, this just means that
it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a
device has failed. This can be improved and I suspect I'll be
submitting patches upstream to handle this.
By default the Solaris code does not log speculative or soft io errors
in either 'zpool status' or post an event. Under Linux we don't want
to change the expected behavior of 'zpool status' so these io errors
are still suppressed there.
However, since we do need to know about these events for Linux FMA and
the 'zpool events' interface is new we do post the events. With the
addition of the zio_flags field the posted events now contain enough
information that a user space consumer can identify and discard these
events if it sees fit.
All the upper layers of zfs expect zio->io_error to be positive. I was
careful but I missed one instance in vdev_disk_physio_completion() which
could return a negative error. To ensure all cases are always caught I
had additionally added an ASSERT() to check this before zio_interpret().
Finally, as a debugging aid when zfs is build with --enable-debug all
errors from the backing block devices will be reported to the console
with an error message like this:
ZFS: zio error=5 type=1 offset=4217856 size=8192 flags=60440
Observed during failure mode testing, dsl_scan_setup_sync() allocates
73920 bytes. This is way over the limit of what is wise to do with a
kmem_alloc() and it should probably be moved to a slab. For now I'm
just flagging it with KM_NODEBUG to quiet the error until this can be
revisited.
This commit fixes a bug in vdev_disk_open() in which the whole_disk property
was getting set to 0 for disk devices, even when it was stored as a 1 when the
zpool was created. The whole_disk property lets us detect when the partition
suffix should be stripped from the device name in CLI output. It is also used
to determine how writeback cache should be set for a device.
When an existing zpool is imported its configuration is read from the vdev
label by user space in zpool_read_label(). The whole_disk property is saved in
the nvlist which gets passed into the kernel, where it in turn gets saved in
the vdev struct in vdev_alloc(). Therefore, this value is available in
vdev_disk_open() and should not be overridden by checking the provided device
path, since that path will likely point to a partition and the check will
return the wrong result.
We also add an ASSERT that the whole_disk property is set. We are not aware of
any cases where vdev_disk_open() should be called with a config that doesn't
have this property set. The ASSERT is there so that when debugging is enabled
we can identify any legitimate cases that we are missing. If we never hit the
ASSERT, we can at some point remove it along with the conditional whole_disk
check.

This topic branch leverages the Solaris style FMA call points
in ZFS to create a user space visible event notification system
under Linux. This new system is called zevent and it unifies
all previous Solaris style ereports and sysevent notifications.
Under this Linux specific scheme when a sysevent or ereport event
occurs an nvlist describing the event is created which looks almost
exactly like a Solaris ereport. These events are queued up in the
kernel when they occur and conditionally logged to the console.
It is then up to a user space application to consume the events
and do whatever it likes with them.
To make this possible the existing /dev/zfs ABI has been extended
with two new ioctls which behave as follows.
* ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_NEXT
Get the next pending event. The kernel will keep track of the last
event consumed by the file descriptor and provide the next one if
available. If no new events are available the ioctl() will block
waiting for the next event. This ioctl may also be called in a
non-blocking mode by setting zc.zc_guid = ZEVENT_NONBLOCK. In the
non-blocking case if no events are available ENOENT will be returned.
It is possible that ESHUTDOWN will be returned if the ioctl() is
called while module unloading is in progress. And finally ENOMEM
may occur if the provided nvlist buffer is not large enough to
contain the entire event.
* ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_CLEAR
Clear are events queued by the kernel. The kernel will keep a fairly
large number of recent events queued, use this ioctl to clear the
in kernel list. This will effect all user space processes consuming
events.
The zpool command has been extended to use this events ABI with the
'events' subcommand. You may run 'zpool events -v' to output a
verbose log of all recent events. This is very similar to the
Solaris 'fmdump -ev' command with the key difference being it also
includes what would be considered sysevents under Solaris. You
may also run in follow mode with the '-f' option. To clear the
in kernel event queue use the '-c' option.

While the 'zpool events' command is handy for interactive debugging
it is not expected to be the primary consumer of zevents. This ABI
was primarily added to facilitate the addition of a user space
monitoring daemon. This daemon would consume all events posted by
the kernel and based on the type of event perform an action. For
most events simply forwarding them on to syslog is likely enough.
But this interface also cleanly allows for more sophisticated
actions to be taken such as generating an email for a failed drive.

The upstream commit cb code had a few bugs:
1) The arguments of the list_move_tail() call in txg_dispatch_callbacks()
were reversed by mistake. This caused the commit callbacks to not be
called at all.
2) ztest had a bug in ztest_dmu_commit_callbacks() where "error" was not
initialized correctly. This seems to have caused the test to always take
the simulated error code path, which made ztest unable to detect whether
commit cbs were being called for transactions that successfuly complete.
3) ztest had another bug in ztest_dmu_commit_callbacks() where the commit
cb threshold was not being compared correctly.
4) The commit cb taskq was using 'max_ncpus * 2' as the maxalloc argument
of taskq_create(), which could have caused unnecessary delays in the txg
sync thread.

At some point we are going to need to implement the kmem cache
move callbacks to allow for kmem cache defragmentation. This
commit simply lays a small part of the API ground work, it does
not actually implement any of this feature. This is safe for
now because the move callbacks are just an optimization. Even
if they are registered we don't ever really have to call them.
Unless __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS are removed from the file mapping gfp
mask we may enter memory reclaim during IO. In this case shrink_slab()
entered another file system which is notoriously hungry for stack.
This additional stack usage may cause a stack overflow. This patch
removes __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS from the mapping gfp mask of each file
during vn_open() to avoid any reclaim in the vn_rdwr() IO path. The
original mask is then restored at vn_close() time. Hats off to the
loop driver which does something similiar for the same reason.

When TQ_SLEEP is used, taskq_dispatch() should always succeed even if the
number of pending tasks is above tq->tq_maxalloc. This semantic is similar
to KM_SLEEP in kmem allocations, which also always succeed.
However, we cannot block forever otherwise there is a risk of deadlock.
Therefore, we still allow the number of pending tasks to go above
tq->tq_maxalloc with TQ_SLEEP, but we may sleep up to 1 second per task
dispatch, thereby throttling the task dispatch rate.
One of the existing splat tests was also augmented to test for this scenario.
The test would fail with the previous implementation but now it succeeds.

Using kmem_free() results in deducting X bytes from the memory
accounting when --enable-debug is set. Unfortunately, currently
the counterpart kmem_asprintf() and friends do not properly
account for memory allocated, so we must do the same on free.
If we don't then we end up with a negative number of lost bytes
reported when the module is unloaded.
A better long term fix would be to add the accounting in to the
allocation side but that's a project for another day.
Extend the Makefiles with an uninstall target to cleanly
remove a package which was installed with 'make install'.
Additionally, ensure a 'depmod -a' is run as part of the
install to update the module dependency information.
The Solaris semantics for kmem_alloc() and vmem_alloc() are that they
must never fail when called with KM_SLEEP. They may only fail if
called with KM_NOSLEEP otherwise they must block until memory is
available. This is quite different from how the Linux memory
allocators work, under Linux a memory allocation failure is always
possible and must be dealt with.
At one point in the past the kmem code did properly implement this
behavior, however as the code evolved this behavior was overlooked
in places. This patch goes through all three implementations of
the kmem/vmem allocation functions and ensures that they will all
block in the KM_SLEEP case when memory is not available. They
may still fail in the KM_NOSLEEP case in which case the caller
is responsible for handling the failure.
Special care is taken in vmalloc_nofail() to avoid thrashing the
system on the virtual address space spin lock. The down side of
course is if you do see a failure here, which is unlikely for
64-bit systems, your allocation will delay for an entire second.
Still this is preferable to locking up your system and it is the
best we can do given the constraints.
Additionally, the code was cleaned up to be much more readable
and comments were added to describe the various kmem-debug-*
configure options. The default configure options remain:
"--enable-debug-kmem --disable-debug-kmem-tracking"
In cmd/splat.c there was a comparison between an __u32 and an int. To
resolve the issue simply use a __u32 and strtoul() when converting the
provided user string.
In module/spl/spl-vnode.c we should explicitly cast nd->last.name to
a const char * which is what is expected by the prototype.
Commit 55abb0929e removed the never
used format1 argument of spl_debug_msg(). That in turn resulted
in some deadcode which should be removed since it's now useless.
When the kvasprintf() call fails they should reset the arguments
by calling va_start()/va_copy() and va_end() inside the loop,
otherwise they'll try to read more arguments rather than starting
over and reading them from the beginning.

To avoid conflicts with symbols defined by dependent packages
all debugging symbols have been prefixed with a 'S' for SPL.
Any dependent package needing to integrate with the SPL debug
should include the spl-debug.h header and use the 'S' prefixed
macros. They must also build with DEBUG defined.
To avoid symbol conflicts with dependent packages the debug
header must be split in to several parts. The <sys/debug.h>
header now only contains the Solaris macro's such as ASSERT
and VERIFY. The spl-debug.h header contain the spl specific
debugging infrastructure and should be included by any package
which needs to use the spl logging. Finally the spl-trace.h
header contains internal data structures only used for the log
facility and should not be included by anythign by spl-debug.c.
This way dependent packages can include the standard Solaris
headers without picking up any SPL debug macros. However, if
the dependant package want to integrate with the SPL debugging
subsystem they can then explicitly include spl-debug.h.
Along with this change I have dropped the CHECK_STACK macros
because the upstream Linux kernel now has much better stack
depth checking built in and we don't need this complexity.
Additionally SBUG has been replaced with PANIC and provided as
part of the Solaris macro set. While the Solaris version is
really panic() that conflicts with the Linux kernel so we'll
just have to make due to PANIC. It should rarely be called
directly, the prefered usage would be an ASSERT or VERIFY.
There's lots of change here but this cleanup was overdue.
The threads in the splat atomic:64-bit test share the data structure
atomic_priv_t ap, which lives on the kernel stack of the splat user-space
utility. If splat terminates before the threads, accesses to that memory
location by the other threads become invalid. Splat synchronizes with
the threads with the call:
wait_event_interruptible(ap.ap_waitq, splat_atomic_test1_cond(&ap, i));
Apparently, the SIGINT wakes and terminates splat prematurely, so that
GPFs or other bad things happen when the threads subsequently access ap.
This commit prevents this by using the uninterruptible form:
wait_event(ap.ap_waitq, splat_atomic_test1_cond(&ap, i));
The prototype for filp_fsync() drop the unused argument 'stuct dentry *'.
I've fixed this by adding the needed autoconf check and moving all of
those filp related functions to file_compat.h. This will simplify
handling any further API changes in the future.
Up until now no SPL consumer attempted to perform signed 64-bit
division so there was no need to support this. That has now
changed so I adding 64-bit division support for 32-bit platforms.
The signed implementation is based on the unsigned version.
Since the have been several bug reports in the past concerning
correct 64-bit division on 32-bit platforms I added some long
over due regression tests. Much to my surprise the unsigned
64-bit division regression tests failed.
This was surprising because __udivdi3() was implemented by simply
calling div64_u64() which is provided by the kernel. This meant
that the linux kernels 64-bit division algorithm on 32-bit platforms
was flawed. After some investigation this turned out to be exactly
the case.
Because of this I was forced to abandon the kernel helper and
instead to fully implement 64-bit division in the spl. There are
several published implementation out there on how to do this
properly and I settled on one proposed in the book Hacker's Delight.
Their proposed algoritm is freely available without restriction
and I have just modified it to be linux kernel friendly.
The update implementation now passed all the unsigned and signed
regression tests. This should be functional, but not fast, which is
good enough for out purposes. If you want fast too I'd strongly
suggest you upgrade to a 64-bit platform. I have also reported the
kernel bug and we'll see if we can't get it fixed up stream.
For some reason when awk invoked by the usermode helper the command
always fails. Interestingly gawk does not suffer from this problem
which is why I never observed this failure since the distro I tested
with all had gawk installed instead of awk. Anyway, the simplest
thing to do here is to just make gawk mandatory. I've added a
configure check for gawk specifically and have updated the command
to call gawk not awk.
I didn't notice at the time but user_path_dir() was not introduced
at the same time as set_fs_pwd() change. I had lumped the two
together but in fact user_path_dir() was introduced in 2.6.27 and
set_fs_pwd() taking 2 args was introduced in 2.6.25. This means
builds against 2.6.25-2.6.26 kernels were broken.
To fix this I've added a check for user_path_dir() and no longer
assume that if set_fs_pwd() takes 2 args then user_path_dir() is
also available.
Use 3 threads and 8 tasks. Dispatch the final 3 tasks with TQ_FRONT.
The first three tasks keep the worker threads busy while we stuff the
queues. Use msleep() to force a known execution order, assuming
TQ_FRONT is properly honored. Verify that the expected completion
order occurs.
The splat_taskq_test5_order() function may be useful in more than
one test. This commit generalizes it by renaming the function to
splat_taskq_test_order() and adding a name argument instead of
assuming SPLAT_TASKQ_TEST5_NAME as the test name.
The documentation for splat taskq regression test #5 swaps the two required
completion orders in the diagram. This commit corrects the error.

Adds a task queue to receive tasks dispatched with TQ_FRONT. Worker
threads pull tasks from this high priority queue before the default
pending queue.
Executing tasks out of FIFO order potentially breaks taskq_lowest_id()
if we do not preserve the ordering of the work list by taskqid.
Therefore, instead of always appending to the work list, we search for
the appropriate place to insert a task. The common case is to append
to the list, so we make this operation efficient by searching the work
list in reverse order.

As of linux-2.6.33 the ctl_name member of the ctl_table struct
has been entirely removed. The upstream code has been updated
to depend entirely on the the procname member. To handle this
all references to ctl_name are wrapped in a CTL_NAME macro which
simply expands to nothing for newer kernels. Older kernels are
supported by having it expand to .ctl_name = X just as before.
When HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER is defined and we are directly accessing
mutex->owner treat is as volative with the ACCESS_ONCE() helper.
Without this you may get a stale cached value when accessing it
from different cpus. This can result in incorrect behavior from
mutex_owned() and mutex_owner(). This is not a problem for the
!HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER case because in this case all the accesses
are covered by a spin lock which similarly gaurentees we will
not be accessing stale data.
Secondly, check CONFIG_SMP before allowing access to mutex->owner.
I see that for non-SMP setups the kernel does not track the owner
so we cannot rely on it.
Thirdly, check CONFIG_MUTEX_DEBUG when this is defined and the
HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER is defined surprisingly the mutex->owner will
not be cleared on mutex_exit(). When this is the case the SPL
needs to make sure to do it to ensure MUTEX_HELD() behaves as
expected or you will certainly assert in mutex_destroy().
Finally, improve the mutex regression tests. For mutex_owned() we
now minimally check that it behaves correctly when checked from the
owner thread or the non-owner thread. This subtle behaviour has bit
me before and I'd like to catch it early next time if it reappears.
As for mutex_owned() regression test additonally verify that
mutex->owner is always cleared on mutex_exit().
The call to wake_up() must be moved under the spin lock because
once we drop the lock 'tp' may no longer be valid because the
creating thread has exited. This basic thread implementation
was correct, this was simply a flaw in the test case.
We might as well have both asprintf() variants. This allows us
to safely pass a va_list through several levels of the stack
using va_copy() instead of va_start().
This fix was long overdue. Most of the ground work was laid long
ago to include the exact function and line number in the error message
which there was an issue with a memory allocation call. However,
probably due to lack of time at the moment that informatin never
made it in to the error message. This patch fixes that and trys
to standardize the kmem debug messages as well.
This patch adds three missing Solaris functions: kmem_asprintf(), strfree(),
and strdup(). They are all implemented as a thin layer which just calls
their Linux counterparts. As part of this an autoconf check for kvasprintf
was added because it does not appear in older kernels. If the kernel does
not provide it then spl-generic implements it.
Additionally the dead DEBUG_KMEM_UNIMPLEMENTED code was removed to clean
things up and make the kmem.h a little more readable.
Under linux the proc.h header is for the /proc filesystem, and under
Solaris the proc/h header if for processes. This patch correctly
moves the Linux proc functionality in a linux/proc_compat.h header
and leaves the sys/proc.h for use by Solaris. Minor updates were
required to all the call sites where it was included of course.
Running 'zpool create' on a 32-bit machine with an SPL compiled with
gcc 4.4.4 led to a stack overlow. This turned out to be due to some
sort of 'optimization' by gcc:
uint64_t __umoddi3(uint64_t dividend, uint64_t divisor)
{
return dividend - divisor * (dividend / divisor);
}
This code was supposed to be using __udivdi3 to implement /, but gcc
instead implemented it via __umoddi3 itself.

Remove RW_COUNT() from the rwlock implementation. The idea was that it
could be used as a generic wrapper for getting at the internal state
of a rwlock. While a good idea it's proven problematic to keep it
correct for multiple archs and internal implementation changes. In
short it hasn't been worth the trouble.
With that and simplicity in mind things have been updated to use the
rwsem_is_locked() function instead of RW_COUNT for the RW_*_HELD()
functions. As for rw_upgrade() it remains only implemented for
the generic rwsem implemenation. It remains to be determined if its
worth the effort of adding a custom implementation for each arch.
While I may prefer to have the system panic on an SBUG and to get
crash dump for analysis. I suspect most peoples systems are not
configured from crash dump and the best thing to so is to simply
halt the thread and print an error to the console. This way they
have a good chance of actually saving the stack trace and debug log.
Remove the kmem_set_warning() hack used by the kmem-splat regression
tests with a per-allocation flag called __GFP_NOWARN. This matches
the lower level linux flag of similar by slightly different function.
The idea is you can then explicitly set this flag on requests where
you know your breaking the max 8k rule but you need/want to do it
anyway.
This is currently used by the regression tests where we intentionally
push things to the limit but don't want the log noise. Additionally,
we are forced to use it in spl_kmem_cache_create() because by default
NR_CPUS is very large and theres no easy way to handle that.
Finally, I've added a stack_dump() call to the warning when it is
trigger to make to clear exactly where the allocation is taking place.
Using /tmp/ is a preferable default, it can always be overriden
using the module option on a case-by-case basis.
Additionally standardize some log messages based on the same
default log level used by the kernel.
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
While this does incur slightly more overhead we should be using
do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime() for gethrtime() as described
by the existing comment.
This is a minor extension to the condition variable API to allow
for reasonable signal handling on Linux. The cv_wait() function by
definition must wait unconditionally for cv_signal()/cv_broadcast()
before waking it. This makes it impossible to woken by a signal
such as SIGTERM. The cv_wait_interruptible() function was added
to handle this case. It behaves identically to cv_wait() with the
exception that it waits interruptibly allowing a signal to wake it
up. This means you do need to be careful and check issig() after
waking.
When dumping a debug log first check that it is safe to create
a new thread and block waiting for it. If we are in an atomic
context or irqs and disabled it is not safe to sleep and we
must write out of the debug log from the current process.
During module init spl_setup()->The vn_set_pwd("/") was failing
with -EFAULT because user_path_dir() and __user_walk() both
expect 'filename' to be a user space address and it's not in
this case. To handle this the data segment size is increased
to to ensure strncpy_from_user() does not fail with -EFAULT.
Additionally, I've added a printk() warning to catch this and
log it to the console if it ever reoccurs. I thought everything
was working properly here because there consequences of this
failing are subtle and usually non-critical.
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly. This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed. This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h. That turns out to be easier said than done. In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.
To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command. This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file. This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.
Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included. It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.
Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds. If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'. Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.
Allowing MAX_ORDER-1 sized allocations for kmem based slabs have
been observed to result in deadlocks. To help prvent this limit
max kmem based slab size to MAX_ORDER-3. Just for the record
callers should not be creating slabs like this, but if they do
we should still handle it as safely as we can.
As of linux-2.6.32 the 'struct file *filp' argument was dropped from

everywhere in the kernel and this was simply cleanup.

This test case verifies the correct behavior of taskq_wait_id().
In particular it ensure the the following two cases are handled
properly:
1) Task ids larger than the waited for task id can run and
complete as long as there is an available worker thread.
2) All task ids lower than the waited one must complete before
unblocking even if the waited task id itself has completed.
In the initial version of taskq_lowest_id() the entire pending and
work list was locked under the tq->tq_lock to determine the lowest
outstanding taskqid. At the time this done because I was rushed
and wanted to make sure it was right... fast was secondary. Well now
fast is important too so I carefully thought through the pending
and work list management and convinced myself it is safe and correct
to simply check the first entry. I added a large comment to the source
to explain this. But basically as long as we are careful to ensure the
pending and work list stay sorted this is safe and fast.
The motivation for this chance was that I was observing as much as
10% of the total CPU time go to waiting on the tq->tq_lock when the
pending list was long. This resolves that problems and frees up
that CPU time for something useful.
This regression test could crash in splat_kmem_cache_test_reclaim()
due to a race between the slab relclaim and the normal exiting of
the thread. Specifically, the kct structure could be free'd by
the thread performing the allocations while the reclaim function
was also working on that's threads kct structure. The simplest
fix is to extend the kcp->kcp_lock over the reclaim to prevent
the kct from being freed. A better fix would be to ref count
these structures, but since is just a regression this locking
change is enough. Surprisingly this was only observed commonly
under RHEL5.4 but all platform could have hit this.
I must have been in a hurry when I wrote the vnode regression tests
because the error code handling is not correct. The Solaris vnode
API returns positive errno's, these need to be converted to negative
errno's for Linux before being passed back to user space. Otherwise
the test hardness with report the failure but errno will not be set
with the correct error code.
Additionally tests 3, 4, 6, and 7 may fail in the test file already
exists. To avoid false positives a user mode helper has added to
remove the test files in /tmp/ before running the actual test.
This patch is another step towards updating the code to handle the
32-bit kernels which I have not been regularly testing. This changes
do not really impact the common case I'm expected which is the latest
kernel running on an x86_64 arch.
Until the linux-2.6.31 kernel the x86 arch did not have support for
64-bit atomic operations. Additionally, the new atomic_compat.h support
for this case was wrong because it embedded a spinlock in the atomic
variable which must always and only be 64-bits total. To handle these
32-bit issues we now simply fall back to the --enable-atomic-spinlock
implementation if the kernel does not provide the 64-bit atomic funcs.
The second issue this patch addresses is the DEBUG_KMEM assumption that
there will always be atomic64 funcs available. On 32-bit archs this may
not be true, and actually that's just fine. In that case the kernel will
will never be able to allocate more the 32-bits worth anyway. So just
check if atomic64 funcs are available, if they are not it means this
is a 32-bit machine and we can safely use atomic_t's instead.
The big fix here is the removal of kmalloc() in kv_alloc(). It used
to be true in previous kernels that kmallocs over PAGE_SIZE would
always be pages aligned. This is no longer true atleast in 2.6.31
there are no longer any alignment expectations. Since kv_alloc()
requires the resulting address to be page align we no only either
directly allocate pages in the KMC_KMEM case, or directly call
__vmalloc() both of which will always return a page aligned address.
Additionally, to avoid wasting memory size is always a power of two.
As for cleanup several helper functions were introduced to calculate
the aligned sizes of various data structures. This helps ensure no
case is accidentally missed where the alignment needs to be taken in
to account. The helpers now use P2ROUNDUP_TYPE instead of P2ROUNDUP
which is safer since the type will be explict and we no longer count
on the compiler to auto promote types hopefully as we expected.
Always wnforce minimum (SPL_KMEM_CACHE_ALIGN) and maximum (PAGE_SIZE)
alignment restrictions at cache creation time.
Use SPL_KMEM_CACHE_ALIGN in splat alignment test.
As of 2.6.31 it's clear __GFP_NOFAIL should no longer be used and it
may disappear from the kernel at any time. To handle this I have simply
added *_nofail wrappers in the kmem implementation which perform the
retry for non-atomic allocations.

to per zone min_pages, low_pages, max_pages.
Cleanup the --enable-debug-* configure options, this has been pending
for quite some time and I am glad I finally got to it. To summerize:
1) All SPL_AC_DEBUG_* macros were updated to be a more autoconf
friendly. This mainly involved shift to the GNU approved usage of
AC_ARG_ENABLE and ensuring AS_IF is used rather than directly using
an if [ test ] construct.
2) --enable-debug-kmem=yes by default. This simply enabled keeping
a running tally of total memory allocated and freed and reporting a
memory leak if there was one at module unload. Additionally, it
ensure /proc/spl/kmem/slab will exist by default which is handy.
The overhead is low for this and it should not impact performance.
3) --enable-debug-kmem-tracking=no by default. This option was added
to provide a configure option to enable to detailed memory allocation
tracking. This support was always there but you had to know where to
turn it on. By default this support is disabled because it is known
to badly hurt performence, however it is invaluable when chasing a
memory leak.
4) --enable-debug-kstat removed. After further reflection I can't see
why you would ever really want to turn this support off. It is now
always on which had the nice side effect of simplifying the proc handling
code in spl-proc.c. We can now always assume the top level directory
will be there.
5) --enable-debug-callb removed. This never really did anything, it was
put in provisionally because it might have been needed. It turns out
it was not so I am just removing it to prevent confusion.
Previously Solaris style atomic primitives were implemented simply by
wrapping the desired operation in a global spinlock. This was easy to
implement at the time when I wasn't 100% sure I could safely layer the
Solaris atomic primatives on the Linux counterparts. It however was
likely not good for performance.
After more investigation however it does appear the Solaris primitives
can be layered on Linux's fairly safely. The Linux atomic_t type really
just wraps a long so we can simply cast the Solaris unsigned value to
either a atomic_t or atomic64_t. The only lingering problem for both
implementations is that Solaris provides no atomic read function. This
means reading a 64-bit value on a 32-bit arch can (and will) result in
word breaking. I was very concerned about this initially, but upon
further reflection it is a limitation of the Solaris API. So really
we are just being bug-for-bug compatible here.
With this change the default implementation is layered on top of Linux
atomic types. However, because we're assuming a lot about the internal
implementation of those types I've made it easy to fall-back to the
generic approach. Simply build with --enable-atomic_spinlocks if
issues are encountered with the new implementation.
The cmn_err/vcmn_err functions are layered on top of the debug
system which usually expects a newline at the end. However, there
really doesn't need to be a newline there and there in fact should
not be for the CE_CONT case so let's just drop the warning.
Also we make a half-hearted attempt to handle a leading ! which
means only send it to the syslog not the console. In this case
we just send to the the debug logs and not the console.
As of 2.6.25 kobj->k_name was replaced with kobj->name. Some distros
such as RHEL5 (2.6.18) add a patch to prevent this from being a problem
but other older distros such as SLES10 (2.6.16) have not. To avoid
the whole issue I'm updating the code to use kobject_set_name() which
does what I want and has existed all the way back to 2.6.11.
Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded. This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd. It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly. All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.
Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module. Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like. However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.
In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type. And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.
For a generic explanation of why mutexs needed to be reimplemented
to work with the kernel lock profiling see commits:
e811949a57 and
d28db80fd0
The specific changes made to the mutex implemetation are as follows.
The Linux mutex structure is now directly embedded in the kmutex_t.
This allows a kmutex_t to be directly case to a mutex struct and
passed directly to the Linux primative.
Just like with the rwlocks it is critical that these functions be
implemented as '#defines to ensure the location information is
preserved. The preprocessor can then do a direct replacement of
the Solaris primative with the linux primative.
Just as with the rwlocks we need to track the lock owner. Here
things get a little more interesting because depending on your
kernel version, and how you've built your kernel Linux may already
do this for you. If your running a 2.6.29 or newer kernel on a
SMP system the lock owner will be tracked. This was added to Linux
to support adaptive mutexs, more on that shortly. Alternately, your
kernel might track the lock owner if you've set CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
in the kernel build. If neither of the above things is true for
your kernel the kmutex_t type will include and track the lock owner
to ensure correct behavior. This is all handled by a new autoconf
check called SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER.
Concerning adaptive mutexs these are a very recent development and
they did not make it in to either the latest FC11 of SLES11 kernels.
Ideally, I'd love to see this kernel change appear in one of these
distros because it does help performance. From Linux kernel commit:
0d66bf6d3514b35eb6897629059443132992dbd7
"Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application...
gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox"
However, if you don't want to backport this change yourself you
can still simply export the task_curr() symbol. The kmutex_t
implementation will use this symbol when it's available to
provide it's own adaptive mutexs.
Finally, DEBUG_MUTEX support was removed including the proc handlers.
This was done because now that we are cleanly integrated with the
kernel profiling all this information and much much more is available
in debug kernel builds. This code was now redundant.
Update mutexs validated on:
- SLES10 (ppc64)
- SLES11 (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3 (x86_64)
- RHEL6 (x86_64)
- FC11 (x86_64)
The behavior of RW_*_HELD was updated because it was not quite right.
It is not sufficient to return non-zero when the lock is help, we must
only do this when the current task in the holder.
This means we need to track the lock owner which is not something
tracked in a Linux semaphore. After some experimentation the
solution I settled on was to embed the Linux semaphore at the start
of a larger krwlock_t structure which includes the owner field.
This maintains good performance and allows us to cleanly intergrate
with the kernel lock analysis tools. My reasons:
1) By placing the Linux semaphore at the start of krwlock_t we can
then simply cast krwlock_t to a rw_semaphore and pass that on to
the linux kernel. This allows us to use '#defines so the preprocessor
can do direct replacement of the Solaris primative with the linux
equivilant. This is important because it then maintains the location
information for each rw_* call point.
2) Additionally, by adding the owner to krwlock_t we can keep this
needed extra information adjacent to the lock itself. This removes
the need for a fancy lookup to get the owner which is optimal for
performance. We can also leverage the existing spin lock in the
semaphore to ensure owner is updated correctly.
3) All helper functions which do not need to strictly be implemented
as a define to preserve location information can be done as a static
inline function.
4) Adding the owner to krwlock_t allows us to remove all memory
allocations done during lock initialization. This is good for all
the obvious reasons, we do give up the ability to specific the lock
name. The Linux profiling tools will stringify the lock name used
in the code via the preprocessor and use that.
Update rwlocks validated on:
- SLES10 (ppc64)
- SLES11 (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3 (x86_64)
- RHEL6 (x86_64)
- FC11 (x86_64)
It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but
did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/
analysis tools. This is a major problem since it would be awfully
nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler.
The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor
to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked. Since the
rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the
same. The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for
the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag
nearly everything as a possible deadlock.
The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using
a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure. This was not
done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch.
To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem
API is not possible. It can only be done by directly accessing some of
the internal data member of the rwsem structure.
For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping
a reader vs writer lock. Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function
and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is. This means to
properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a
reader or writer lock. Then we need to call the proper Linux API function.
Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this
information directly from arch specific lock implementation. This is
all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably.
The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this
change. We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced
overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them.
The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this
information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem. Luckily this
appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my
understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway.
In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to
the rwlock regression tests. Each class of test was extended to provide
more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior.
This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been
careful to validate it on several platforms before committing. The full
SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following
platforms. This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29.
- SLES10 (ppc64)
- SLES11 (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3 (x86_64)
- RHEL6 (x86_64)
- FC11 (x86_64)
Basically everything we need to monitor the global memory state of
the system is now cleanly available via global_page_state(). The
problem is that this interface is still fairly recent, and there
has been one change in the page state enum which we need to handle.
These changes basically boil down to the following:
- If global_page_state() is available we should use it. Several
autoconf checks have been added to detect the correct enum names.
- If global_page_state() is not available check to see if
get_zone_counts() symbol is available and use that.
- If the get_zone_counts() symbol is not exported we have no choice
be to dynamically aquire it at load time. This is an absolute
last resort for old kernel which we don't want to patch to
cleanly export the symbol.
This interface is going away, and it's not as if most callers actually
use crhold/crfree when working with credentials. So it'll be okay
they we're not taking a reference on the task structure the odds of
it going away while working with a credential and pretty small.
The previous credential implementation simply provided the needed types and
a couple of dummy functions needed. This update correctly ties the basic
Solaris credential API in to one of two Linux kernel APIs.
Prior to 2.6.29 the linux kernel embeded all credentials in the task
structure. For these kernels, we pass around the entire task struct as if
it were the credential, then we use the helper functions to extract the
credential related bits.
As of 2.6.29 a new credential type was added which we can and do fairly
cleanly layer on top of. Once again the helper functions nicely hide
the implementation details from all callers.
Three tests were added to the splat test framework to verify basic
correctness. They should be extended as needed when need credential
functions are added.
The slab_overcommit test case could hang on a system with fragmented
memory because it was creating a kmem based slab with 256K objects.
To avoid this I've removed the KMC_KMEM flag which allows the slab
to decide if it should be kmem or vmem backed based on the object
side. The slab_lock test shares this code and will also be effected.
But the point of these two tests is to stress cache locking and
memory overcommit, the type of slab is not critical. In fact, allowing
the slab to do the default smart thing is preferable.
Simply pass the ioctl on to the normal handler. If the ioctl
helper macros are used correctly this should be safe as they
will handle the packing/unpacking of the data encoded in the
ioctl command. And actually, if the caller does not use the
IO* macros at all, and just passes small values, it will probably
be OK as well. We only get in to trouble if they try and use
the upper 32-bits. Endianness is not really a concern here, we
we are pretty much assumed they user and kernel will match.
used to scale the number of threads based on the number of online
CPUs. As CPUs are added/removed we should rescale the thread
count appropriately, but currently this is only done at create.
- Kernel modules should be built using the LINUX_OBJ Makefiles and
not the LINUX Makefiles to ensure the proper install paths are used.
- Install modules in to addon/spl/
- Ensure no additional kernel module build products are packaged.
- Simplified spl.spec.in which supports RHEL, CHAOS, SLES, FEDORA.
- Properly honor --prefix in build system and rpm spec file.
- Add '--define require_kdir' to spec file to support building
rpms against kernel sources installed in non-default locations.
- Add '--define require_kobj' to spec file to support building
rpms against kernel object installed in non-default locations.
- Stop suppressing errors in autogen.sh script.
- Improved logic to detect missing kernel objects when they are
not located with the source. This is the common case for SLES
as well as in-tree chaos kernel builds and is done to simply
support for multiple arches.
- Moved spl-devel build products to /usr/src/spl-<version>, a
spl symlink is created to reference the last installed version.
- Proper ioctl() 32/64-bit binary compatibility. We need to ensure the
ioctl data itself is always packed the same for 32/64-bit binaries.
Additionally, the correct thing to do is encode this size in bytes
as part of the command using _IOC_SIZE().
- Minor formatting changes to respect the 80 character limit.
- Move all SPLAT_SUBSYSTEM_* defines in to splat-ctl.h.
- Increase SPLAT_SUBSYSTEM_UNKNOWN because we were getting close
to accidentally using it for a real registered subsystem.
- Add compat_ioctl() handler, by default 64-bit SLES systems build 32-bit
ELF binaries. For the 32-bit binaries to pass ioctl information to a
64-bit kernel a compatibility handler needs to be registered. In our
case no additional conversions are needed to convert 32-bit ioctl()
commands to 64-bit commands so we can just call the default handler.
- Initial SLES testing uncovered a long standing bug in the debug
tracing. The tcd_for_each() macro expected a NULL to terminate
the trace_data[i] array but this was only ever true due to luck.
All trace_data[] iterators are now properly capped by TCD_TYPE_MAX.
- SPLAT_MAJOR 229 conflicted with a 'hvc' device on my SLES system.
Since this was always an arbitrary choice I picked something else.
- The HAVE_PGDAT_LIST case should set pgdat_list_addr to the value stored
at the address of the memory location returned by kallsyms_lookup_name().
- Prior to 2.6.17 there were no *_pgdat helper functions in mm/mmzone.c.
Instead for_each_zone() operated directly on pgdat_list which may or
may not have been exported depending on how your kernel was compiled.
Now new configure checks determine if you have the helpers or not, and
if the needed symbols are exported. If they are not exported then they
are dynamically aquired at runtime by kallsyms_lookup_name().
- Enable builds for powerpc ISA type.
- Add DIV_ROUND_UP and roundup macros if unavailable.
- Cast 64-bit values for %lld format string to (long long) to
quiet compile warning.
- Configure check for SLES specific API change to vfs_unlink()
and vfs_rename() which added a 'struct vfsmount *' argument.
This was for something called the linux-security-module, but
it appears that it was never adopted upstream.
- Configure check, the div64_64() function was renamed to
div64_u64() as of 2.6.26.
- Configure check, the global_page_state() fuction was introduced
in 2.6.18 kernels. The earlier 2.6.16 based SLES10 must not try
and use it, thankfully get_zone_counts() is still available.
- To simplify debugging poison all symbols aquired dynamically
using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() with SYMBOL_POISON.
- Add console messages when the user mode helpers fail.
- spl_kmem_init_globals() use bit shifts instead of division.
- When the monotonic clock is unavailable __gethrtime() must perform
the HZ division as an 'unsigned long long' because the SPL only
implements __udivdi3(), and not __divdi3() for 'long long' division
on 32-bit arches.
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h so they
can leverage the configure checks the SPL has done. This is important
because several of the spl headers need the results of these checks to
work properly. Unfortunately, the autoheader build product is always
private to a particular build and defined certain common things.
(PACKAGE, VERSION, etc). This prevents other packages which also use
autoheader from being include because the definitions conflict. To
avoid this problem the SPL build system leverage AH_BOTTOM to include
a spl_unconfig.h at the botton of the autoheader build product. This
custom include undefs all known shared symbols to prevent the confict.
This does however mean that those definition are also not availble
to the SPL package either. The SPL package therefore uses the
equivilant SPL_META_* definitions.
In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to
my list of development platforms. The hope is this will allow me
to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same
time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support. This patch
resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment.
1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added. As of 2.6.21
the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count
for free, inactive, and active pages. The SPL attempts to detect
if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state()
to global_page_state(). If the full API is not available then
spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get
these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available.
2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct
vmem_size() functionality. The test case acquires the current
global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies
the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats.
3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM
based memory. On x86 systems with limited virtual address space
failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space. The tests
really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus
we need to use the physical address space.
4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem
instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages(). This provides
additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration.
5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K
instead of 1M. On x86 based systems it is not possible to create
a kmem backed slab with entires of that size. To compensate for
this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x.
6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API
changes to make additional symbols available to modules.
7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
fails to locate an expected symbol. This causes the module to fail
to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.
I'm very surprised this has not surfaced until now. But the taskq_wait()
implementation work only wait successfully the first time it was called.
Subsequent usage of taskq_wait() on the taskq would not wait.
The issue was caused by tq->tq_lowest_id being set to MAX_INT after the
first wait completed. This caused subsequent waits which check that the
waiting id is less than the lowest taskq id to always succeed. The fix
is to ensure that tq->tq_lowest_id is never set larger than tq->tq_next.id.
Additional fixes which were added to this patch include:
1) Fix a race by placing the taskq_wait_check() in the tq->tq_lock spinlock.
2) taskq_wait() should wait for the largest outstanding id.
3) Multiple spelling corrections.
4) Added taskq wait regression test to validate correct behavior.
Mainly for portability reasons I have rebased the mutex tests on Solaris
taskqs instead of linux work queues. The linux workqueue API changed post
2.6.18 kernels and using task queues avoids having to conditionally detect
which workqueue API to use.
Additionally, this is basically free additional testing for the task queues.
Much to my surprise after updating these test cases they did expose a long
standing bug in the taskq_wait() implementation. This patch does not
address that issue but the followup patch does.
Fixes hostid mismatch which leads to assertion failure when the hostid/hw_serial is a 10-character decimal number:
$ zpool status
pool: lustre
state: ONLINE
lt-zpool: zpool_main.c:3176: status_callback: Assertion `reason == ZPOOL_STATUS_OK' failed.
zsh: 5262 abort zpool status
An update to the build system to properly support all commonly
used Makefile targets these include:
make all # Build everything
make install # Install everything
make clean # Clean up build products
make distclean # Clean up everything
make dist # Create package tarball
make srpm # Create package source RPM
make rpm # Create package binary RPMs
make tags # Create ctags and etags for everything
Extra care was taken to ensure that the source RPMs are fully
rebuildable against Fedora/RHEL/Chaos kernels. To build binary
RPMs from the source RPM for your system simply run:
rpmbuild --rebuild spl-x.y.z-1.src.rpm
This will produce two binary RPMs with correct 'requires'
dependencies for your kernel. One will contain all spl modules
and support utilities, the other is a devel package for compiling
additional kernel modules which are dependant on the spl.
spl-x.y.z-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
spl-devel-x.y.2-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL.
When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the
function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name()
to find the address. The function name itself can them become a
define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to
reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get
the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This
is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the
headers so we know we are calling the function properly.
This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed
symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are
autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to
use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels
as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which
additional symbols we needed exported. Those patches can also be
used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should
not be a requirement. The rhel5 version of the export-symbols
patch has been applied to the chaos kernel.
Additional fixes:
1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info()
2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead
of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product. When
$LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols.
3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and
$LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when
the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.
Minimal support added for the zone_get_hostid() function. Only
global zones are supported therefore this function must be called
with a NULL argumment. Additionally, I've added the HW_HOSTID_LEN
define and updated all instances where a hard coded magic value
of 11 was used; "A good riddance of bad rubbish!"
Accidentally leaked list item li in error path. The fix is to
adjust this error path to ensure the allocated list item which
has not yet been added to the list gets freed. To do this we
simply add a new goto label slightly earlier to use the existing
cleanup logic and minimize the number of unique return points.
This was a false positive the callpath being walked is impossible
because the splat_kmem_cache_test_kcp_alloc() function will ensure
kcp->kcp_kcd[0] is initialized to NULL. However, there is no harm
is making this explicit for the test case so I'm adding a line to
clearly set it to correct the analysis.
This check was originally added to detect double initializations
of mutex types (which it did find). Unfortunately, Coverity is
right that there is a very small chance we could trigger the
assertion by accident because an uninitialized stack variable
happens to contain the mutex magic. This is particularly unlikely
since we do poison the mutexs when destroyed but still possible.
Therefore I'm simply removing the assertion.
- The previous magazine ageing sceme relied on the on_each_cpu()
function to call spl_magazine_age() on each cpu. It turns out
this could deadlock with do_flush_tlb_all() which also relies
on the IPI based on_each_cpu(). To avoid this problem a per-
magazine delayed work item is created and indepentantly
scheduled to the correct cpu removing the need for on_each_cpu().
- Additionally two unused fields were removed from the type
spl_kmem_cache_t, they were hold overs from previous cleanup.
- struct work_struct work
- struct timer_list timer
- spl_slab_reclaim() 'continue' changed back to 'break' from commit
37db7d8cf9. The original was correct,
I have added a comment to ensure this does not happen again.
- spl_slab_reclaim() further optimized by moving the destructor call
in spl_slab_free() outside the skc->skc_lock. This minimizes the
length of time the spin lock is held, allows the destructors to
be invoked concurrently for different objects, and as a bonus makes
it safe (although unwise) to sleep in the destructors.
- Default SPL_KMEM_CACHE_DELAY changed to 15 to match Solaris.
- Aged out slab checking occurs every SPL_KMEM_CACHE_DELAY / 3.
- skc->skc_reap tunable added whichs allows callers of
spl_slab_reclaim() to cap the number of slabs reclaimed.
On Solaris all eligible slabs are always reclaimed, and this
is still the default behavior. However, I suspect that is
not always wise for reasons such as in the next comment.
- spl_slab_reclaim() added cond_resched() while walking the
slab/object free lists. Soft lockups were observed when
freeing large numbers of vmalloc'd slabs/objets.
- spl_slab_reclaim() 'sks->sks_ref > 0' check changes from
incorrect 'break' to 'continue' to ensure all slabs are
checked.
- spl_cache_age() reworked to avoid a deadlock with
do_flush_tlb_all() which occured because we slept waiting
for completion in spl_cache_age(). To waiting for magazine
reclamation to finish is not required so we no longer wait.
- spl_magazine_create() and spl_magazine_destroy() shifted
back to using for_each_online_cpu() instead of the
spl_on_each_cpu() approach which was of course a bad idea
due to memory allocations which Ricardo pointed out.
Added support for Solaris swapfs_minfree, and swapfs_reserve tunables.
In additional availrmem is now available and return a reasonable value
which is reasonably analogous to the Solaris meaning. On linux we
return the sun of free and inactive pages since these are all easily
reclaimable.
All tunables are available in /proc/sys/kernel/spl/vm/* and they may
need a little adjusting once we observe the real behavior. Some of
the defaults are mapped to similar linux counterparts, others are
straight from the OpenSolaris defaults.
Support added to provide reasonable values for the global Solaris
VM variables: minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree. These values
are set to the sum of their per-zone linux counterparts which
should be close enough for Solaris consumers.
When a non-GPL app links against the SPL we cannot use the udev
interfaces, which means non of the device special files are created.
Because of this I had added a poor mans udev which cause the SPL
to invoke an upcall and create the basic devices when a minor
is registered. When a minor is unregistered we use the vnode
interface to unlink the special file.
- Added SPL_AC_3ARGS_ON_EACH_CPU configure check to determine
if the older 4 argument version of on_each_cpu() should be
used or the new 3 argument version. The retry argument was
dropped in the new API which was never used anyway.
- Updated work queue compatibility wrappers. The old way this
worked was to pass a data point when initialized the workqueue.
The new API assumed the work item is embedding in a structure
and we us container_of() to find that data pointer.
- Updated skc->skc_flags to be an unsigned long which is now
type checked in the bit operations. This silences the warnings.
- Updated autogen products and splat tests accordingly
- Added slab work queue task which gradually ages and free's slabs
from the cache which have not been used recently.
- Optimized slab packing algorithm to ensure each slab contains the
maximum number of objects without create to large a slab.
- Fix deadlock, we can never call kv_free() under the skc_lock. We
now unlink the objects and slabs from the cache itself and attach
them to a private work list. The contents of the list are then
subsequently freed outside the spin lock.
- Move magazine create/destroy operation on to local cpu.
- Further performace optimizations by minimize the usage of the large
per-cache skc_lock. This includes the addition of KMC_BIT_REAPING
bit mask which is used to prevent concurrent reaping, and to defer
new slab creation when reaping is occuring.
- Add KMC_BIT_DESTROYING bit mask which is set when the cache is being
destroyed, this is used to catch any task accessing the cache while
it is being destroyed.
- Add comments to all the functions and additional comments to try
and make everything as clear as possible.
- Major cleanup and additions to the SPLAT kmem tests to more
rigerously stress the cache implementation and look for any problems.
This includes correctness and performance tests.
- Updated portable work queue interfaces
