Brian Behlendorf 302f753f16 Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux
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.

Brian Behlendorf afec56b43f Add zfs_mdcomp_disable module option
Expose the zfs_mdcomp_disable variable as a module option.  This
can be used to disable compression of zfs meta data which is
enabled by default.  This shouldn't need to be tuned but for
most workloads, however there may be very specific instances
where it makes sense to trade disk capacity for extra cpu cycles.

Prakash Surya 409dc1a570 Use KM_PUSHPAGE in l2arc_write_buffers
There is potential for deadlock in the l2arc_feed thread if KM_PUSHPAGE
is not used for the allocations made in l2arc_write_buffers.
Specifically, if KM_PUSHPAGE is not used for these allocations, it is
possible for reclaim to be triggered which can cause the l2arc_feed
thread to deadlock itself on the ARC_mru mutex. An example of this is
demonstrated in the following backtrace of the l2arc_feed thread:

Brian Behlendorf b29012b999 Remove condition variable names
Long ago I added support to the spl for condition variable names
because I thought they might be needed.  It turns out they aren't.
In fact the official Solaris cv_init(9F) man page discourages
their use in the kernel.

  cv_init(9F)
    Parameters
      name - Descriptive string. This is obsolete and should be
             NULL. (Non-NULL strings are legal, but they're a
             waste of kernel memory.)

Therefore, I'm removing them from the spl to reclaim this memory
and adding an ASSERT() to ensure no new consumers are added which
make use of the name.

Add support for the .zfs control directory.  This was accomplished
by leveraging as much of the existing ZFS infrastructure as posible
and updating it for Linux as required.  The bulk of the core
functionality is now all there with the following limitations.

*) 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
   has yet been implemented.

Brian Behlendorf 49be0ccf1f Add zio constructor/destructor
Add a standard zio constructor and destructor.  Normally, this is
done to reduce to cost of allocating a new structure by reducing
expensive operations such as memory allocations.  However, in this
case none of the operations moved out of zio_create() were really
very expensive.

This change was principly made as a debug patch (and workaround)
for a zio_destroy() race.  The is good evidence that zio_create()
is reinitializing a mutex which is really still in use by another
thread.  This would completely explain the observed symptoms in
the issue report.

This patch doesn't fix the root cause of the race, but it should
make it less likely by only initializing the mutex once in the
constructor.  Also, this particular flaw might have gone unnoticed
in other zfs implementations due to the specific implementation
details of Linux ticket spinlocks.

Once the real root cause is determined and resolved this change
can be safely reverted.  Until then this should help workaround
the issue.

This patch was slightly flawed and allowed for zio->io_logical

lead to assertion failures in specific cases when debugging is
enabled (--enable-debug) and I/O errors are encountered.  It
may also have caused problems when issues logical I/Os.

Since we want to make sure this workaround can be easily removed
in the future (when we have the real fix).  I'm reverting this
change and applying a new version of the patch which includes
the zio->io_logical fix.

The xattr_resolve_name() helper function expects the registered
list of xattr handlers to be NULL terminated.  This NULL was
accidentally missing which could result in a NULL dereference.

Interestingly this issue only manifested itself on certain 32-bit
systems.  Presumably on 64-bit kernels we just always happen to
get lucky and the memory following the structure is zeroed.

Gregor Kopka 42cb3819f1 Use stderr for 'no pools/datasets available' error
The 'zfs list' and 'zpool list' commands output the message
'no datasets/pools available' to stdout.  This should go to
stderr and only the available datasets/pools should go to
stdout.  Returning nothing to stdout is expected behavior
when there is nothing to list.

Brian Behlendorf 0ece356db5 Add sa_spill_rele() interface
Add a SA interface which allows us to release the spill block
from a SA handle without destroying the handle.  This is useful
because we can then ensure that a copy of the dirty spill block
is not made at sync time due to the extra hold.  Susequent calls
to sa_update() or sa_lookup() with transparently refetch the
spill block dbuf from the ARC hash.

Brian Behlendorf 2c6d0b1e07 Add zio constructor/destructor
Add a standard zio constructor and destructor.  Normally, this is
done to reduce to cost of allocating a new structure by reducing
expensive operations such as memory allocations.  However, in this
case none of the operations moved out of zio_create() were really
very expensive.

This change was principly made as a debug patch (and workaround)
for a zio_destroy() race.  The is good evidence that zio_create()
is reinitializing a mutex which is really still in use by another
thread.  This would completely explain the observed symptoms in
the issue report.

This patch doesn't fix the root cause of the race, but it should
make it less likely by only initializing the mutex once in the
constructor.  Also, this particular flaw might have gone unnoticed
in other zfs implementations due to the specific implementation
details of Linux ticket spinlocks.

Once the real root cause is determined and resolved this change
can be safely reverted.  Until then this should help workaround
the issue.

Brian Behlendorf a3a69b74cd Fix distribution detection
Improve the distribution detection by moving the tests for
distribution specific files first.  The Ubuntu and Debian
checks are left for last because they are the least likely
to be unique.  This is particularly true in the case of Debian
since so many distributions are based on Debian.

Since this is currently only used to identify the correct
packaging method for this system the result in many instances
is simply cosmetic.

Ned Bass 613d88eda8 Align parition end on 1 MiB boundary
Some devices have exhibited sensitivity to the ending alignment of
partitions.  In particular, even if the first partition begins at 1
MiB, we have seen many sd driver task abort errors with certain SSDs
if the first partition doesn't end on a 1 MiB boundary.  This occurs
when the vdev label is read during pool creation or importation and
causes a delay of about 30 seconds per device.  It can also be
simulated with dd when the pool isn't imported:

  dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=262144 count=1

For the record, this problem was observed with SMARTMOD
SG9XCA2E200GE01 200GB SSDs.  Unfortunately I don't have a good
explanation for this behavior. It seems to have something to do with
highly fragmented single-sector requests being issued to the device,
which it may not support.  With end-aligned partitions at least
page-sized requests were queued and issued to the driver according
to blktrace. In any case, aligning the partition end is a fairly
innocuous work-around, wasting at most 1 MiB of space.

Brian Behlendorf ec2626ad3f Use SA_HDL_PRIVATE for SA xattrs
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.

default debugging is still largely disabled.  To enable specific
debugging features use the following options with rpmbuild.

  '--with debug'               - Enables ASSERTs
  '--with debug-log'           - Enables the internal debug log
  '--with debug-kmem'          - Enables basic memory accounting

Ned Bass 3a4f6caf08 Return success from check_slice() if device doesn't exist
When creating a new pool, make_root_vdev() calls check_in_use() to
ensure that none of the consituent disks are in use.  If the disk
contains a valid vdev label it is read to retrieve the list of its
child vdevs and these are checked recursively.  However, the
partitions stored in the vdev label my no longer exist, for example
if the partition table has since been altered.  In any such case we
would want the pool creation to proceed, so this change removes the
check from check_slice() that returns an error if the device doesn't
exist.  As an added assurance, the Solaris implementation also
returns sucess on ENOENT.
