The upstream ZFS code has correctly moved to a faster native sha2
implementation. Unfortunately, under Linux that's going to be a little
problematic so we revert the code to the more portable version contained
in earlier ZFS releases. Using the native sha2 implementation in Linux
is possible but the API is slightly different in kernel version user
space depending on which libraries are used. Ideally, we need a fast
implementation of SHA256 which builds as part of ZFS this shouldn't be
that hard to do but it will take some effort.
Reduce kernel stack usage by lzjb_compress() by moving uint16 array
off the stack and on to the heap. The exact performance implications
of this I have not measured but we absolutely need to keep stack
usage to a minimum. If/when this becomes and issue we optimize.
Move xiou stat structures from a header to the dmu.c source as is
done with all the other kstat interfaces. This information is local
to dmu.c registered the xuio kstat and should stay that way.
If your only going to allow one allocator to be used and it is defined
at compile time there is no point including the others in the build.
This patch could/should be refined for Linux to make the metaslab
configurable at run time. That might be a bit tricky however since
you would need to quiese all IO. Short of that making it configurable
as a module load option would be a reasonable compromise.
In the linux kernel 'current' is defined to mean the current process
and can never be used as a local variable in a function. Simply
replace all usage of 'current' with 'curr' in this function.
Updated fix to detect if we are in an interrupt and only sleep if it
is safe to do some. I guess it must be safe to sleep under Solaris
this must be handled in a sort interrupt handler there
Additional minor memory related tweak to move certain large allocations
to virtual memory and in one case to simply suppress the warning message
since it is not that far over the warning limit.
Upstream they modified the ioctl code so we need to make similiar
updates since we modify the API ourselves to always pass a pointer
to file pointer around. This allows us to track per file handle
state which is used by the zevent code.
The ZVOL interfaces changed significantly with the latest update. I've
updated the Linux version of the code to handle this and it looks like
the net result has been a simpler implementation which is good! Plus,
I'm relatively sure the ZIL integration is right this time although it
needs some serious crash testing to verify that.
Also minor additions to vdev_disk for .hold and .rele callbacks.
Currently, they do nothing and I may be able to simply stub them out
with NULLs for Linux since opening the device in Linux should have
much the same effort. More investigation is needed though since
the ZFS interface may make some demands here I'm overlooking.
After such a large update many of the symbols which were previously
exported are no longer available, and several new symbols have been
added and are needed. Refresh to topic branch to reflect this.
