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).

than 't'. This was to align with the naming convention which
the ZFS code assumes. Previously these fields were private

ZFS and 64-bit linux are perfectly capable of dealing with 64-bit

As of Linux 3.1 the shrink_dcache_memory and shrink_icache_memory
functions have been removed. This same task is now accomplished
more cleanly with per super block shrinkers. This unfortunately
leaves us no easy way to support the dnlc_reduce_cache() function.
This support has always been entirely optional. So when no
reasonable interface is available allow the dnlc_reduce_cache()
function to effectively become a no-op.
The downside of this change is that it will prevent the zfs arc
meta data limts from being enforced. However, the current zfs
implementation in this regard is already flawed and needs to
be reworked. If the arc needs to enfore a meta data limit it
will need to be extended to coordinate directly with the zpl.
This will allow us to drop all this compatibility code and get
more fine grained control over the cache management.

When running 'make install' without DESTDIR set the module install
rules would mistakenly destroy the 'modules.*' files for ALL of
your installed kernels. This could lead to a non-functional system
for the alternate kernels because 'depmod -a' will only be run for
the kernel which was compiled against. This issue would not impact
anyone using the 'make <deb|rpm|pkg>' build targets to build and
install packages.
The fix for this issue is to only remove extraneous build products
when DESTDIR is set. This almost exclusively indicates we are
building packages and installed the build products in to a temporary
staging location. Additionally, limit the removal the unneeded
build products to the target kernel version.

Prior to Linux 2.6.39 when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES was defined
the kernel stored a thread_info pointer as the mutex owner.
From this you could get the pointer of the current task_struct
to compare with get_current().
As of Linux 2.6.39 this behavior has changed and now the mutex
stores a pointer to the task_struct. This commit detects the
type of pointer stored in the mutex and adjusts the mutex_owner()
and mutex_owned() functions to perform the correct comparision.
ZFS requires a stable hostid to recognize foreign pool imports,
but the hostid of a Linux system can change if the /etc/hostid
file is missing, particularly during DHCP lease updates.
Ensure that the system hostid is stable by creating the
/etc/hostid file from the output of the /usr/bin/hostid utility.
The /sbin/genhostid utility that is provided by the initscripts
package is not used because it creates a random hostid, which
breaks upgrades on systems that already have the SPL module
installed.
The external `printf` is used because the dash builtin lacks
the byte format. Conveniences like a ${HOSTID:$ii:2} substring
range or a `sed` one-liner are similarly avoided.
Deprecate the /usr/bin/hostid call by reading the /etc/hostid file
directly. Add the spl_hostid_path parameter to override the default
/etc/hostid path.
Rename the set_hostid() function to hostid_exec() to better reflect
actual behavior and complement the new hostid_read() function.
Use HW_INVALID_HOSTID as the spl_hostid sentinel value because
zero seems to be a valid gethostid() result on Linux.
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.
RPM version 4.9.0 has been observed to generate extra debug
messages in certain cases. These debug messages prevent us
from cleanly acquiring the architecture. This is clearly
an upstream RPM bug which will get fixed. But until then
a safe solution is to pipe the result through 'tail -1'
to just grab the architecture bit we care about.
Example 'rpm -qp spl-0.6.0-rc4.src.rpm --qf %{arch}' output:
Freeing read locks for locker 0x166: 28031/47480843735008
Freeing read locks for locker 0x168: 28031/47480843735008

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.
The uid_t on most systems is in fact and unsigned 32-bit value.
This is almost always correct, however you could compile your
kernel to use an unsigned 16-bit value for uid_t. In practice
I've never encountered a distribution which does this so I'm
willing to overlook this corner case for now.
The correct definition of MAXOFFSET_T under Solaris is in reality
tied to the maximum size of a 'long long' type. With this in mind
MAXOFFSET_T is now defined as LLONG_MAX which ensures the correct
value is used on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

unloading so that they are similar to the ZFS kernel messages.

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.
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.
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests. It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables. Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default. This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.
To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available. Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.
