Currently, the size of read and write requests on vdevs is aligned
according to the vdev's ashift, allocating a new ZIO buffer and padding
if need be.
This makes sense for write requests to prevent read/modify/write if the
write happens to be smaller than the device's internal block size.
For reads however, the rationale is less clear. It seems that the
original code aligns reads because, on Solaris, device drivers will
outright refuse unaligned requests.
We don't have that issue on Linux. Indeed, Linux block devices are able
to accept requests of any size, and take care of alignment issues
themselves.
As a result, there's no point in enforcing alignment for read requests
on Linux. This is a nice optimization opportunity for two reasons:
- We remove a memory allocation in a heavily-used code path;
- The request gets aligned in the lowest layer possible, which shrinks
the path that the additional, useless padding data has to travel.
For example, when using 4k-sector drives that lie about their sector
size, using 512b read requests instead of 4k means that there will
be less data traveling down the ATA/SCSI interface, even though the
drive actually reads 4k from the platter.
The only exception is raidz, because raidz needs to read the whole
allocated block for parity.
This patch removes alignment enforcement for read requests, except on
raidz. Note that we also remove an assertion that checks that we're
aligning a top-level vdev I/O, because that's not the case anymore for
repair writes that results from failed reads.

There are currently three vmem_size() consumers all of which are
part of the ARC implemention. However, since the expected behavior
of the Linux and Solaris virtual memory subsystems are so different
the behavior in each of these instances needs to be reevaluated.
* arc_evict_needed() - This is actually dead code. Arena support
was never added to the SPL and zio_arena is always NULL. This
support isn't needed so we simply remove this dead code.
* arc_memory_throttle() - On Solaris where virtual memory constitutes
almost all of the address space we can reasonably expect there to be
a fairly large amount free. However, on Linux by default we only
have about 100MB total and that's heavily used by the ARC. So the
expectation on Linux is that this will usually be a small value.
Therefore we remove the vmem_size() check for i386 systems because
the expectation is that it will be less than the zfs_write_limit_max.
* arc_init() - Here vmem_size() is used to initially size the ARC.
Since the ARC is currently backed by the virtual address space it
makes sense to use this as a limit on the ARC for 32-bit systems.
This code can be removed when the ARC is backed by the page cache.

Allow the zfs_txg_timeout variable to be dynamically tuned at run
time. By pulling it down out of the variable declaration it will
be evaluted each time through the loop.
The zfs_txg_timeout variable is now declared extern in a the common
sys/txg.h header rather than locally in dsl_scan.c. This prevents
potential type mismatches if the global variable needs to be used
elsewhere.
Move the module_param() code in to the same source file where
zfs_txg_timeout is declared. This is the most logical location.

Commit c409e4647f introduced a
number of module parameters. This required several types to be
changed to accomidate the required module parameters Linux macros.
Unfortunately, arc.c contained its own extern definition of the
zfs_write_limit_max variable and its type was not updated to be
consistent with its dsl_pool.c counterpart. If the variable had
been properly marked extern in a common header, then gcc would
have generated a warning and this would not have slipped through.
The result of this was that the ARC unconditionally expected
zfs_write_limit_max to be 64-bit. Unfortunately, the largest size
integer module parameter that Linux supports is unsigned long, which
varies in size depending on the host system's native word size. The
effect was that on 32-bit systems, ARC incorrectly performed 64-bit
operations on a 32-bit value by reading the neighboring 32 bits as
the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit value.
We correct that by changing the extern declaration to use the unsigned
long type and move these extern definitions in to the common arc.h
header. This should make ARC correctly treat zfs_write_limit_max as a
32-bit value on 32-bit systems.

It doesn't make sense for a zvol to use the default system I/O
scheduler because it is a virtual device. Therefore, we change
the default scheduler to 'noop' for zvols provided that the
elevator_change() function is available. This interface has
been available since Linux 2.6.36 and appears in the RHEL 6.x
kernels.
We deliberately do not implement the method for older kernels
because it was racy and could result in system crashes. It's

Currently, when processing DISCARD requests, zvol_discard() calls
dmu_free_long_range() with the precise offset and size of the request.
Unfortunately, this is not optimal for requests that are not aligned to
the zvol block boundaries. Indeed, in the case of an unaligned range,
dnode_free_range() will zero out the unaligned parts. Not only is this
useless since we are not freeing any space by doing so, it is also slow
because it translates to a read-modify-write operation.
This patch fixes the issue by rounding up the discard start offset to
the next volume block boundary, and rounding down the discard end
offset to the previous volume block boundary.

Currently, ztest expects to get 3 and 4 as the file descriptors for
data and random files, respectively. This is quite fragile and breaks
easily if ztest is run with these file descriptors already opened
(e.g. in a complex shell script).
This patch fixes the issue by removing the assumptions on the file
descriptor numbers that open() returns.
For the random file (/dev/urandom), the new code doesn't rely on a
shared file descriptor; instead, it reopens the file in the child.
For the data file, the new code writes the file descriptor number into
a "ZTEST_FD_DATA" environment variable so that it can be recovered
after the execv() call.

In the mean time, it is not ideal to be unable to use ztest just

Currently, in several instances (but not all), ztest generates vdev
file paths using a statement similar to this:
snprintf(path, sizeof (path), ztest_dev_template, ...);
This worked fine until 40b84e7aec, which
changed path to be a pointer to the heap instead of an array allocated
on the stack. Before this change, sizeof(path) would return the size of
the array; now, it returns the size of the pointer instead.
As a result, the aforementioned sprintf statement uses the wrong size
and truncates the vdev file path to the first 4 or 8 bytes (depending
on the architecture). Typically, with default settings, the file path
will become "/tmp/zt" instead of "/test/ztest.XXX".
This issue only exists in ztest_vdev_attach_detach() and
ztest_fault_inject(), which explains why ztest doesn't fail right away.

Currently, thread_create(), when called in userspace, creates a
joinable (i.e. not detached thread). This is the pthread default.
Unfortunately, this does not reproduce kthreads behavior (kthreads
are always detached). In addition, this contradicts the original
Solaris code which creates userspace threads in detached mode.
These joinable threads are never joined, which leads to a leakage of
pthread thread objects ("zombie threads"). This in turn results in
excessive ressource consumption, and possible ressource exhaustion in
extreme cases (e.g. long ztest runs).
This patch fixes the issue by creating userspace threads in detached
mode. The only exception is ztest worker threads which are meant to be
joinable.

The goal of this change is to make 'zpool import' prefer to use
the peristent /dev/mapper or /dev/disk/by-* paths. These are far
preferable to the devices in /dev/ whos names are not persistent
and are determined by the order in which a device is detected.
This patch improves things by changing the default search path from
just to the top level /dev/ directory to (in order):
/dev/disk/by-vdev - Custom rules, use first if they exist
/dev/disk/zpool - Custom rules, use first if they exist
/dev/mapper - Use multipath devices before components
/dev/disk/by-uuid - Single unique entry and persistent
/dev/disk/by-id - May be multiple entries and persistent
/dev/disk/by-path - Encodes physical location and persistent
/dev/disk/by-label - Custom persistent labels
/dev - UNSAFE device names will change
The default search path can be overriden by setting the
ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable. This must be a colon
delimited list of paths which are searched for vdevs. If the
'zpool import -d' option is specified only those listed paths
will be searched.
Finally, when multiple paths to the same device are found. If one
of the paths is an exact match for the path used last time to import
the pool it will be used. When there are no exact matches the
prefered path will be determined by the provided search order.
This means you can still import a pool and force specific names by
providing the -d <path> option. And the prefered names will persist
as long as those paths exist on your system.

When zfs_replay_write() replays TX_WRITE records from ZIL
it calls zpl_write_common() to perform the actual write.
zpl_write_common() returns the number of bytes written
(similar to write() system call) or an (negative) error.
However, the code expects the positive return value to be
a residual counter. Thus when zpl_write_common() successfully
completes it is mistakenly considered to be a partial write and
the error code delivered further. At this point the ZIL processing
is aborted with famous "ZFS replay transaction error 5" error
message given to the message buffer.
The fix is to compare the zpl_write_commmon() return value with
the buffer size and flag error only when they disagree.

The 'zfs destroy' changes in 330d06f disrupted how zvol devices
get removed on ZoL. However, it basically boils down to the
fact that we are no longer reliably calling zvol_remove_minor()
via zfs_ioc_destroy_snaps().
Therefore we add the missing call and handle things similarly
to the existing zfs_unmount_snap() case. Ideally we would check
if this is of type DMU_OST_ZFS or DMU_OST_ZVOL and just do the
right thing as in zfs_ioc_destroy(). However, it looks like
it would be fairly expensive to get the type, and it's harmless
to simply attempt the umount and minor removal.
