Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:
Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:
* dbuf_cache_max_bytes
* dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
* l2arc_feed_min_ms
* l2arc_feed_secs
* l2arc_headroom
* l2arc_headroom_boost
* l2arc_write_boost
* l2arc_write_max
* metaslab_aliquot
* metaslab_force_ganging
* zfetch_array_rd_sz
* zfs_arc_max
* zfs_arc_meta_limit
* zfs_arc_meta_min
* zfs_arc_min
* zfs_async_block_max_blocks
* zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
* zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
* zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
* zfs_initialize_chunk_size
* zfs_initialize_value
* zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
* zfs_lua_max_memlimit
* zil_slog_bulk
Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:
* zfs_immediate_write_sz
Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.
Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:
* l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zfs_max_log_walking
* zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
* zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
* zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
* zfs_multihost_interval
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm
New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:
* l2arc_trim_ahead
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_sys_free
* zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_history_output_max
* zfs_livelist_max_entries
* zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
* zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
* zfs_rebuild_max_segment
* zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
* zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.
A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
* zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
* zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong
The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.
In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.
Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

Closes#13984Closes#14004
The filesystem_limit and snapshot_limit properties limit the number of
filesystems or snapshots that can be created below this dataset.
According to the manpage, "The limit is not enforced if the user is
allowed to change the limit." Two types of users are allowed to change
the limit:
1. Those that have been delegated the `filesystem_limit` or
`snapshot_limit` permission, e.g. with
`zfs allow USER filesystem_limit DATASET`. This works properly.
2. A user with elevated system privileges (e.g. root). This does not
work - the root user will incorrectly get an error when trying to create
a snapshot/filesystem, if it exceeds the `_limit` property.
The problem is that `priv_policy_ns()` does not work if the `cred_t` is
not that of the current process. This happens when
`dsl_enforce_ds_ss_limits()` is called in syncing context (as part of a
sync task's check func) to determine the permissions of the
corresponding user process.
This commit fixes the issue by passing the `task_struct` (typedef'ed as
a `proc_t`) to syncing context, and then using `has_capability()` to
determine if that process is privileged. Note that we still need to
pass the `cred_t` to syncing context so that we can check if the user
was delegated this permission with `zfs allow`.
This problem only impacts Linux. Wrappers are added to FreeBSD but it
continues to use `priv_check_cred()`, which works on arbitrary `cred_t`.

Closes#8226Closes#10545
When we finish a zfs receive, dmu_recv_end_sync() calls
zvol_create_minors(async=TRUE). This kicks off some other threads that
create the minor device nodes (in /dev/zvol/poolname/...). These async
threads call zvol_prefetch_minors_impl() and zvol_create_minor(), which
both call dmu_objset_own(), which puts a "long hold" on the dataset.
Since the zvol minor node creation is asynchronous, this can happen
after the `ZFS_IOC_RECV[_NEW]` ioctl and `zfs receive` process have
completed.
After the first receive ioctl has completed, userland may attempt to do
another receive into the same dataset (e.g. the next incremental
stream). This second receive and the asynchronous minor node creation
can interfere with one another in several different ways, because they
both require exclusive access to the dataset:
1. When the second receive is finishing up, dmu_recv_end_check() does
dsl_dataset_handoff_check(), which can fail with EBUSY if the async
minor node creation already has a "long hold" on this dataset. This
causes the 2nd receive to fail.
2. The async udev rule can fail if zvol_id and/or systemd-udevd try to
open the device while the the second receive's async attempt at minor
node creation owns the dataset (via zvol_prefetch_minors_impl). This
causes the minor node (/dev/zd*) to exist, but the udev-generated
/dev/zvol/... to not exist.
3. The async minor node creation can silently fail with EBUSY if the
first receive's zvol_create_minor() trys to own the dataset while the
second receive's zvol_prefetch_minors_impl already owns the dataset.
To address these problems, this change synchronously creates the minor
node. To avoid the lock ordering problems that the asynchrony was
introduced to fix (see #3681), we create the minor nodes from open
context, with no locks held, rather than from syncing contex as was
originally done.
Implementation notes:
We generally do not need to traverse children or prefetch anything (e.g.
when running the recv, snapshot, create, or clone subcommands of zfs).
We only need recursion when importing/opening a pool and when loading
encryption keys. The existing recursive, asynchronous, prefetching code
is preserved for use in these cases.
Channel programs may need to create zvol minor nodes, when creating a
snapshot of a zvol with the snapdev property set. We figure out what
snapshots are created when running the LUA program in syncing context.
In this case we need to remember what snapshots were created, and then
try to create their minor nodes from open context, after the LUA code
has completed.
There are additional zvol use cases that asynchronously own the dataset,
which can cause similar problems. E.g. changing the volmode or snapdev
properties. These are less problematic because they are not recursive
and don't touch datasets that are not involved in the operation, there
is still potential for interference with subsequent operations. In the
future, these cases should be similarly converted to create the zvol
minor node synchronously from open context.
The async tasks of removing and renaming minors do not own the objset,
so they do not have this problem. However, it may make sense to also
convert these operations to happen synchronously from open context, in
the future.

Problem Statement
=================
ZFS Channel program scripts currently require a timeout, so that hung or
long-running scripts return a timeout error instead of causing ZFS to get
wedged. This limit can currently be set up to 100 million Lua instructions.
Even with a limit in place, it would be desirable to have a sys admin
(support engineer) be able to cancel a script that is taking a long time.
Proposed Solution
=================
Make it possible to abort a channel program by sending an interrupt signal.In
the underlying txg_wait_sync function, switch the cv_wait to a cv_wait_sig to
catch the signal. Once a signal is encountered, the dsl_sync_task function can
install a Lua hook that will get called before the Lua interpreter executes a
new line of code. The dsl_sync_task can resume with a standard txg_wait_sync
call and wait for the txg to complete. Meanwhile, the hook will abort the
script and indicate that the channel program was canceled. The kernel returns
a EINTR to indicate that the channel program run was canceled.
Porting notes: Added missing return value from cv_wait_sig()

We want to be able to run channel programs outside of synching
context. This would greatly improve performance for channel programs
that just gather information, as they won't have to wait for synching
context anymore.
=== What is implemented?
This feature introduces the following:
- A new command line flag in "zfs program" to specify our intention
to run in open context. (The -n option)
- A new flag/option within the channel program ioctl which selects
the context.
- Appropriate error handling whenever we try a channel program in
open-context that contains zfs.sync* expressions.
- Documentation for the new feature in the manual pages.
=== How do we handle zfs.sync functions in open context?
When such a function is found by the interpreter and we are running
in open context we abort the script and we spit out a descriptive
runtime error. For example, given the script below ...
arg = ...
fs = arg["argv"][1]
err = zfs.sync.destroy(fs)
msg = "destroying " .. fs .. " err=" .. err
return msg
if we run it in open context, we will get back the following error:
Channel program execution failed:
[string "channel program"]:3: running functions from the zfs.sync
submodule requires passing sync=TRUE to lzc_channel_program()
(i.e. do not specify the "-n" command line argument)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'destroy'
[string "channel program"]:3: in main chunk
=== What about testing?
We've introduced new wrappers for all channel program tests that
run each channel program as both (startard & open-context) and
expect the appropriate behavior depending on the program using
the zfs.sync module.

In addition to the base snapshot functionality, this entails extra
logic to handle edge cases which were formerly not possible, such as
creating then destroying a snapshot in the same transaction sync.

* Switched from kmem_alloc to vmem_alloc in zcp_lua_alloc
* Lua implementation is built as its own module (zlua.ko)
* Lua headers consumed directly by zfs code moved to 'include/sys/lua/'
* There is no native setjmp/longjump available in stock Linux kernel.
Brought over implementations from illumos and FreeBSD
* The get_temporary_prop() was adapted due to VFS platform differences
* Use of inline functions in lua parser to reduce stack usage per C call
* Skip some ZFS Test Suite ZCP tests on sparc64 to avoid stack overflow
