Accidentally dropped the zeroing of this structure in the
gcc-missing-braces topic branch which was causing a fall positive
space leak in ztest. Ensure the structure is zero'ed before use.
This may not strictly be needed but it does keep gcc happy. We
should keep our eye on this though if the extra bcopy significantly
impacts performance. It may.
There was previous discussion of a race with joinable threads but to
be honest I can neither exactly remember the race, or recrease the
issue. I believe it may have had to do with pthread_create() returning
without having set kt->tid since this was done in the created thread.
If that was the race then I've 'fixed' it by ensuring the thread id
is set in the thread AND as the first pthread_create() argument. Why
this wasn't done originally I'm not sure, with luck Ricardo remembers.
Additionally, explicitly set a PAGESIZE guard frame at the end of the
stack to aid in detecting stack overflow. And add some conditional
logic to set STACK_SIZE correctly for Solaris.
There are cases where under Linux it is not safe to sleep in
taskq_dispatch(). Rather than adding Linux specific code to
detect these cases I opted to keep it simple and just never
allow a sleep here. The impact of this should be minimal.
I missed a instanse of removing the & operator when reducing the
stack usage in this function. This unfortunately doesn't cause
a compile warning but it is does cause ztest failures. Anyway,
update the topic branch to correct this mistake.
Certain function must never be automatically inlined by gcc because
they are stack heavy or called recursively. This patch flags all
such functions I have found as 'noinline' to prevent gcc from making
the optimization.
Reduce stack usage in dsl_deleg_get, gcc flagged it as consuming a
whopping 1040 bytes or potentially 1/4 of a 4K stack. This patch
moves all the large structures and buffer off the stack and on to
the heap. This includes 2 zap_cursor_t structs each 52 bytes in
size, 2 zap_attribute_t structs each 280 bytes in size, and 1
256 byte char array. The total saves on the stack is 880 bytes
after you account for the 5 new pointers added.
Also the source buffer length has been increased from MAXNAMELEN
to MAXNAMELEN+strlen(MOS_DIR_NAME)+1 as described by the comment in
dsl_dir_name(). A buffer overrun may have been possible with the
slightly smaller buffer.
