On Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted with respect
to illumos. High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority while high
value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.
In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.
Note this change also reverts some of the priorities changes in prior
commit 62aa81a. The rational is as follows:
spl_kmem_cache - High priority may result in blocked memory allocs
spl_system_taskq - May perform I/O for file backed VDEVs
spl_dynamic_taskq - New taskq threads should be spawned promptly

Issue zfsonlinux/zfs#3607
Add a new defclsyspri macro which can be used to request the default
Linux scheduler priority. Neither the minclsyspri or maxclsyspri map
to the default Linux kernel thread priority. This makes it awkward to
create taskqs which run with the same priority as the rest of the kernel
threads on the system which can lead to performance issues.
All SPL callers which previously used minclsyspri or maxclsyspri have
been changed to use defclsyspri. The vast majority of callers were
part of the test suite which won't have an external impact. The few
places where it could impact performance the change was from maxclsyspri
to defclsyspri. This makes it more likely the process will be scheduled
which may help performance.
To facilitate further performance analysis the spl_taskq_thread_priority
module option has been added. When disabled (0) all newly created kernel
threads will use the default kernel thread priority. When enabled (1)
the specified taskq priority will be used. By default this value is
enabled (1).

Issue #355
There is plenty of compatibility code for a hw_hostid
that isn't used by anything. At the same time, there are apparently
issues with the current hostid logic. coredumb in #zfsonlinux on
freenode reported that Fedora 17 changes its hostid on every boot, which
required force importing his pool. A suggestion by wca was to adopt
FreeBSD's behavior, where it treats hostid as zero if /etc/hostid does
not exist
Adopting FreeBSD's behavior permits us to eliminate plenty of code,
including a userland helper that invokes the system's hostid as a
fallback.

The correct definition of MAXOFFSET_T under Solaris is in reality
tied to the maximum size of a 'long long' type. With this in mind
MAXOFFSET_T is now defined as LLONG_MAX which ensures the correct
value is used on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
Provide a call_usermodehelper() alternative by letting the hostid be passed as
a module parameter like this:
$ modprobe spl spl_hostid=0x12345678
Internally change the spl_hostid variable to unsigned long because that is the
type that the coreutils /usr/bin/hostid returns.
Move the hostid command into GET_HOSTID_CMD for consistency with the similar
GET_KALLSYMS_ADDR_CMD invocation.
Use argv[0] instead of sh_path for consistency internally and with other Linux
drivers.

The ZFS module returns ENOTSUP for several error conditions where an operation
is not (yet) supported. The SPL defined ENOTSUP in terms of ENOTSUPP, but that
is an internal Linux kernel error code that should not be seen by user
programs. As a result the zfs utilities print a confusing error message if an
unsupported operation is attempted:
internal error: Unknown error 524
Aborted
This change defines ENOTSUP in terms of EOPNOTSUPP which is consistent with
user space.

As of linux-2.6.36 RLIM64_INFINITY is defined in linux/resource.h.
This is handled by conditionally defining RLIM64_INFINITY in the
SPL only when the kernel does not provide it.
It was being defined as the constant 64 and at first I changed it to be
NR_CPUS instead.
However, NR_CPUS can be a large value on recent kernels (4096), and this
may cause too large kmem allocations to happen.
Therefore, now we use num_possible_cpus(), which should return a (typically)
small value which represents the maximum number of CPUs than can be brought
online in the running hardware (this value is determined at boot time by
arch-specific kernel code).

Under linux the proc.h header is for the /proc filesystem, and under
Solaris the proc/h header if for processes. This patch correctly
moves the Linux proc functionality in a linux/proc_compat.h header
and leaves the sys/proc.h for use by Solaris. Minor updates were
required to all the call sites where it was included of course.
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
The big fix here is the removal of kmalloc() in kv_alloc(). It used
to be true in previous kernels that kmallocs over PAGE_SIZE would
always be pages aligned. This is no longer true atleast in 2.6.31
there are no longer any alignment expectations. Since kv_alloc()
requires the resulting address to be page align we no only either
directly allocate pages in the KMC_KMEM case, or directly call
__vmalloc() both of which will always return a page aligned address.
Additionally, to avoid wasting memory size is always a power of two.
As for cleanup several helper functions were introduced to calculate
the aligned sizes of various data structures. This helps ensure no
case is accidentally missed where the alignment needs to be taken in
to account. The helpers now use P2ROUNDUP_TYPE instead of P2ROUNDUP
which is safer since the type will be explict and we no longer count
on the compiler to auto promote types hopefully as we expected.
Always wnforce minimum (SPL_KMEM_CACHE_ALIGN) and maximum (PAGE_SIZE)
alignment restrictions at cache creation time.
Use SPL_KMEM_CACHE_ALIGN in splat alignment test.
Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded. This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd. It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly. All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.
Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module. Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like. However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.
In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type. And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.
- Enable builds for powerpc ISA type.
- Add DIV_ROUND_UP and roundup macros if unavailable.
- Cast 64-bit values for %lld format string to (long long) to
quiet compile warning.
Minimal support added for the zone_get_hostid() function. Only
global zones are supported therefore this function must be called
with a NULL argumment. Additionally, I've added the HW_HOSTID_LEN
define and updated all instances where a hard coded magic value
of 11 was used; "A good riddance of bad rubbish!"
Support added to provide reasonable values for the global Solaris
VM variables: minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree. These values
are set to the sum of their per-zone linux counterparts which
should be close enough for Solaris consumers.
When a non-GPL app links against the SPL we cannot use the udev
interfaces, which means non of the device special files are created.
Because of this I had added a poor mans udev which cause the SPL
to invoke an upcall and create the basic devices when a minor
is registered. When a minor is unregistered we use the vnode
interface to unlink the special file.
- Added slab work queue task which gradually ages and free's slabs
from the cache which have not been used recently.
- Optimized slab packing algorithm to ensure each slab contains the
maximum number of objects without create to large a slab.
- Fix deadlock, we can never call kv_free() under the skc_lock. We
now unlink the objects and slabs from the cache itself and attach
them to a private work list. The contents of the list are then
subsequently freed outside the spin lock.
- Move magazine create/destroy operation on to local cpu.
- Further performace optimizations by minimize the usage of the large
per-cache skc_lock. This includes the addition of KMC_BIT_REAPING
bit mask which is used to prevent concurrent reaping, and to defer
new slab creation when reaping is occuring.
- Add KMC_BIT_DESTROYING bit mask which is set when the cache is being
destroyed, this is used to catch any task accessing the cache while
it is being destroyed.
- Add comments to all the functions and additional comments to try
and make everything as clear as possible.
- Major cleanup and additions to the SPLAT kmem tests to more
rigerously stress the cache implementation and look for any problems.
This includes correctness and performance tests.
- Updated portable work queue interfaces
working on this branch for the next few days I suggested you work
off of the 0.3.1 tag. The following changes are fairly extensive
and are designed to make the SPL compatible with all kernels in
the range of 2.6.18-2.6.25. There were 13 relevant API changes
between these releases and I have added the needed autoconf tests
to check for them. However, this has not all been tested extensively.
I'll sort of the breakage on Fedora Core 9 and RHEL5 this week.
