For some reason which remains mysterious to me the shared library
which calls pthread_create() must be linked with -pthread. If this
is not done on 32-bit system the default ulimit stack size is used.
Surprisingly, on a 64-bit system the stack limit specified by the
pthread_attr is honored even when -pthread is not passed when linking
the shared library.
This was caught under Debian Lenny builds because they are one of
the few/only current distros based on a 2.6.26 kernel. In one
of the build conditionals I accidently failed to assign the
return code to rc before returning.
While in theory I like the idea of compiler warnings always being
fatal. In practice this causes problems when small harmless errors
cause build failures for end users. To handle this I've updated
the build system such that -Werror is only used when --enable-debug
is passed to configure. This is how I always build when developing
so I'll catch all build warnings and end users will not get stuck
by minor issues.
Noticed under Ubuntu kernel builds, there were two instances where
printf() was not called with a "%s" and instread directly printed
the string. This can potentially result in a crash and is considered
bad form by gcc. It has been fixed by adding the needed "%s".
As of autoconf-2.65 the AC_LANG_SOURCE source macro no longer
includes the confdef.h results when expanded. To handle this
simply explicitly include confdef.h in conftest.c. This will
cause two copies to of confdef.h to be added to the test for
earlier autoconf versions but this is not harmful.

Devices were only being created at module load time or when a
dataset was created. Similiar devices were not always being
removed at all the correct times. This patch updates all the
places where devices should either be created or removed. I'm
reasonably sure I got them all but if theres a case I missed
we can catch it with a follow up patch.
module load/unload
zfs create/remove
zpool import/export
zpool destroy
This patch also adds a simple regression test to zconfig.sh
to ensure zpool import/export is basically working properly.
This test specifically checks that devices are created
properly, removed after export, created after import, and
removed as a consequence of a zpool destroy.
With the recent ZVOL update zvol_set_volblocksize() accidentally
lost its mutex_exit(). This was noticed when zvol_create_minor()
blocked on the zvol_state_lock while it was holding the
spa_namespace_lock(). This caused everything to get blocked
up and hung the system.
It seems the upstream community moved the definition of UTS_RELEASE
yet again as of linux-2.6.33. Update the build system to check in
all three possible locations where your kernel version may be defined.
$kernelbuild/include/linux/version.h
$kernelbuild/include/linux/utsrelease.h
$kernelbuild/include/generated/utsrelease.h
This check is part of ztest and a memory failure here is unlikely.
However, if this does occur simply exiting is an perfectly valid
way to handle the issue and it resulves the compiler warning.
ztest.c:5522: error: ignoring return value of 'asprintf',
declared with attribute warn_unused_result
It turns out the gcc option -Wframe-larger-than=<size> which I recently
added to the build system is not supported in older versions of gcc.
Since this is just a flag to ensure I keep stack usage under control
I've added a configure check to detect if gcc supports it. If it's
available we use it in the proper places, if it's not we don't.
