Brian Behlendorf f79c0de208 Linux 4.18 compat: inode timespec -> timespec64
Commit torvalds/linux@95582b0 changes the inode i_atime, i_mtime,
and i_ctime members form timespec's to timespec64's to make them
2038 safe.  As part of this change the current_time() function was
also updated to return the timespec64 type.

Resolve this issue by introducing a new inode_timespec_t type which
is defined to match the timespec type used by the inode.  It should
be used when working with inode timestamps to ensure matching types.

The timestruc_t type under Illumos was used in a similar fashion but
was specified to always be a timespec_t.  Rather than incorrectly
define this type all timespec_t types have been replaced by the new
inode_timespec_t type.

Finally, the kernel and user space 'sys/time.h' headers were aligned
with each other.  They define as appropriate for the context several
constants as macros and include static inline implementation of
gethrestime(), gethrestime_sec(), and gethrtime().

Brian Behlendorf 0ee129199f RHEL 7.5 compat: FMODE_KABI_ITERATE
As of RHEL 7.5 the mainline fops.iterate() method was added to
the file_operations structure and is correctly detected by the
configure script.

Normally this is what we want, but in order to maintain KABI
compatibility the RHEL change additionally does the following:

* Requires that callers intending to use this extended interface
  set the FMODE_KABI_ITERATE flag on the file structure when
  opening the directory.
* Adds the fops.iterate() method to the end of the structure,
  without removing fops.readdir().

This change updates the configure check to ignore the RHEL 7.5+
variant of fops.iterate() when detected.  Instead fallback to
the fops.readdir() interface which will be available.

Finally, add the 'zpl_' prefix to the directory context wrappers
to avoid colliding with the kernel provided symbols when both
the fops.iterate() and fops.readdir() are provided by the kernel.

Brian Behlendorf 2cbb06b561 Restructure per-filesystem reclaim
Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was
to register a single callback for the ZPL.  The ARC could invoke this
call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other
cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC.  The ZPL
would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim.

For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations
in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems.  This patch
is designed to address those issues.

1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes
it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in
a single callback.  The most straight forward and portable way to
resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount.
The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple
callbacks so this is functionally a very small change.

2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory()
and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with
equivalent functionality.  This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older
kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from
the caches if needed.  This patch adds that missing functionality
by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be
pinning inodes.  This will result in all unused cache entries being
dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface
available for old kernels.

3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than
2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback.  This ensures
that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately
removed from the cache.  If this isn't done than inode can end up on
the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them.
Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still
be recreated without performing disk IO.

Richard Yao cd3939c5f0 Linux AIO Support
nfsd uses do_readv_writev() to implement fops->read and fops->write.
do_readv_writev() will attempt to read/write using fops->aio_read and
fops->aio_write, but it will fallback to fops->read and fops->write when
AIO is not available. However, the fallback will perform a call for each
individual data page. Since our default recordsize is 128KB, sequential
operations on NFS will generate 32 DMU transactions where only 1
transaction was needed. That was unnecessary overhead and we implement
fops->aio_read and fops->aio_write to eliminate it.

ZFS originated in OpenSolaris, where the AIO API is entirely implemented
in userland's libc by intelligently mapping them to VOP_WRITE, VOP_READ
and VOP_FSYNC.  Linux implements AIO inside the kernel itself. Linux
filesystems therefore must implement their own AIO logic and nearly all
of them implement fops->aio_write synchronously. Consequently, they do
not implement aio_fsync(). However, since the ZPL works by mapping
Linux's VFS calls to the functions implementing Illumos' VFS operations,
we instead implement AIO in the kernel by mapping the operations to the
VOP_READ, VOP_WRITE and VOP_FSYNC equivalents. We therefore implement
fops->aio_fsync.

One might be inclined to make our fops->aio_write implementation
synchronous to make software that expects this behavior safe. However,
there are several reasons not to do this:

1. Other platforms do not implement aio_write() synchronously and since
the majority of userland software using AIO should be cross platform,
expectations of synchronous behavior should not be a problem.

2. We would hurt the performance of programs that use POSIX interfaces
properly while simultaneously encouraging the creation of more
non-compliant software.

3. The broader community concluded that userland software should be
patched to properly use POSIX interfaces instead of implementing hacks
in filesystems to cater to broken software. This concept is best
described as the O_PONIES debate.

4. Making an asynchronous write synchronous is non sequitur.

Any software dependent on synchronous aio_write behavior will suffer
data loss on ZFSOnLinux in a kernel panic / system failure of at most
zfs_txg_timeout seconds, which by default is 5 seconds. This seems like
a reasonable consequence of using non-compliant software.

It should be noted that this is also a problem in the kernel itself
where nfsd does not pass O_SYNC on files opened with it and instead
relies on a open()/write()/close() to enforce synchronous behavior when
the flush is only guarenteed on last close.

Exporting any filesystem that does not implement AIO via NFS risks data
loss in the event of a kernel panic / system failure when something else
is also accessing the file. Exporting any file system that implements
AIO the way this patch does bears similar risk. However, it seems
reasonable to forgo crippling our AIO implementation in favor of
developing patches to fix this problem in Linux's nfsd for the reasons
stated earlier. In the interim, the risk will remain. Failing to
implement AIO will not change the problem that nfsd created, so there is
no reason for nfsd's mistake to block our implementation of AIO.

It also should be noted that `aio_cancel()` will always return
`AIO_NOTCANCELED` under this implementation. It is possible to implement
aio_cancel by deferring work to taskqs and use `kiocb_set_cancel_fn()`
to set a callback function for cancelling work sent to taskqs, but the
simpler approach is allowed by the specification:

```
Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.
```

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/aio_cancel.html

The only programs on my system that are capable of using `aio_cancel()`
are QEMU, beecrypt and fio use it according to a recursive grep of my
system's `/usr/src/debug`. That suggests that `aio_cancel()` users are
rare. Implementing aio_cancel() is left to a future date when it is
clear that there are consumers that benefit from its implementation to
justify the work.

Lastly, it is important to know that handling of the iovec updates differs
between Illumos and Linux in the implementation of read/write. On Linux,
it is the VFS' responsibility whle on Illumos, it is the filesystem's
responsibility.  We take the intermediate solution of copying the iovec
so that the ZFS code can update it like on Solaris while leaving the
originals alone. This imposes some overhead. We could always revisit
this should profiling show that the allocations are a problem.

Massimo Maggi 023699cd62 Posix ACL Support
This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems.  Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set.  The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.

By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property.  Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them.  If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.

This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

Richard Yao 0f37d0c8be Linux 3.11 compat: fops->iterate()
Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.

To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface.  Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.

Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions.  Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.

Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function.  The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names.  Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Brian Behlendorf 7b3e34ba5a Fix 'zfs rollback' on mounted file systems
Rolling back a mounted filesystem with open file handles and
cached dentries+inodes never worked properly in ZoL.  The
major issue was that Linux provides no easy mechanism for
modules to invalidate the inode cache for a file system.

Because of this it was possible that an inode from the previous
filesystem would not get properly dropped from the cache during
rolling back.  Then a new inode with the same inode number would
be create and collide with the existing cached inode.  Ideally
this would trigger an VERIFY() but in practice the error wasn't
handled and it would just NULL reference.

Luckily, this issue can be resolved by sprucing up the existing
Solaris zfs_rezget() functionality for the Linux VFS.

The way it works now is that when a file system is rolled back
all the cached inodes will be traversed and refetched from disk.
If a version of the cached inode exists on disk the in-core
copy will be updated accordingly.  If there is no match for that
object on disk it will be unhashed from the inode cache and
marked as stale.

This will effectively make the inode unfindable for lookups
allowing the inode number to be immediately recycled.  The inode
will then only be accessible from the cached dentries.  Subsequent
dentry lookups which reference a stale inode will result in the
dentry being invalidated.  Once invalidated the dentry will drop
its reference on the inode allowing it to be safely pruned from
the cache.

Special care is taken for negative dentries since they do not
reference any inode.  These dentires will be invalidate based
on when they were added to the dentry cache.  Entries added
before the last rollback will be invalidate to prevent them
from masking real files in the dataset.

Two nice side effects of this fix are:

* Removes the dependency on spl_invalidate_inodes(), it can now
  be safely removed from the SPL when we choose to do so.

* zfs_znode_alloc() no longer requires a dentry to be passed.
  This effectively reverts this portition of the code to its
  upstream counterpart.  The dentry is not instantiated more
  correctly in the Linux ZPL layer.

Brian Behlendorf ab26409db7 Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink
The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block.  Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.

The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded.  This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache.  The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit.  Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.

This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit.  The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning.  Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.

In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:

* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback.  The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code.  This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.

  arc_add_prune_callback()
  arc_remove_prune_callback()

* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity.  The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.

* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback.  We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes.  It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.

* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit.  When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.

* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache.  Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice.  If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.

* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache.  This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink().  This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

Brian Behlendorf 2cf7f52bc4 Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev()
The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback
in the file_system_type structure.  When using the new
interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper.

Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount
down to the zfs layers.  This poses a problem for the existing
implementation because we currently save this pointer in the
super block for latter use.  It provides our only entry point
in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.

This needed to be done originally to allow commands like
'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly.  It also allowed me
to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified.  Under
Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a
file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do.  However,
under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace
which reference the same filesystem.  Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.

Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and
continue as before.  I'm leveraging this API change to update
the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux.
This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue
for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which
have been reported.

This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back
reference entirely.  All modifications to filesystem mount
options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'.
This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace
to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing
them on to the file system itself.

Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the
vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code.  This
change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

Brian Behlendorf 5c03efc379 Linux compat 2.6.39: security_inode_init_security()
The security_inode_init_security() function now takes an additional
qstr argument which must be passed in from the dentry if available.
Passing a NULL is safe when no qstr is available the relevant
security checks will just be skipped.

Prasad Joshi dde471ef5a MMAP Optimization
Enable zfs_getpage, zfs_fillpage, zfs_putpage, zfs_putapage functions.
The functions have been modified to make them Linux friendly.

ZFS uses these functions to read/write the mmapped pages. Using them
from readpage/writepage results in clear code. The patch also adds
readpages and writepages interface functions to read/write list of
pages in one function call.

The code change handles the first mmap optimization mentioned on
https://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/issues/225

Brian Behlendorf 7268e1bec8 Linux 2.6.35 compat, fops->fsync()
The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take
3 arguments.  The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the
dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers.  To
handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right
prototype is used.  Our implementation never used the dentry argument
either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.

Brian Behlendorf 777d4af891 Linux 2.6.35 compat, const struct xattr_handler
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure.  To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used.  This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.

Brian Behlendorf 1efb473f89 Add Hooks for Linux File Operations
The Linux specific file operations have all been located in the
file zpl_file.c.  These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job.  They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.

This first zpl_* commit also includes a common zpl.h header with
minimal entries to register the Linux specific hooks.  In also
adds all the new zpl_* file to the Makefile.in.  This is not a
standalone commit, you required the following zpl_* commits.
