Brian Behlendorf 3713b73335 Linux 4.11 compat: avoid refcount_t name conflict
Related to commit 4859fe796, when directly using the kernel's
refcount functions in kernel compatibility code do not map
refcount_t to zfs_refcount_t.  This leads to a type mismatch.

Longer term we should consider renaming refcount_t to
zfs_refcount_t in the zfs code base.

A new interface was added to manipulate the version field of an
inode.  Add a inode_set_iversion() wrapper for older kernels and
use the new interface when available.

The i_version field was dropped from the trace point due to the
switch to an atomic64_t i_version type.

Olaf Faaland a3478c0747 Linux 4.11 compat: iops.getattr and friends
In torvalds/linux@a528d35, there are changes to the getattr family of functions,
struct kstat, and the interface of inode_operations .getattr.

The inode_operations .getattr and simple_getattr() interface changed to:

int (*getattr) (const struct path *, struct dentry *, struct kstat *,
    u32 request_mask, unsigned int query_flags)

The request_mask argument indicates which field(s) the caller intends to use.
Fields the caller has not specified via request_mask may be set in the returned
struct anyway, but their values may be approximate.

The query_flags argument indicates whether the filesystem must update
the attributes from the backing store.

Currently both fields are ignored.  It is possible that getattr-related
functions within zfs could be optimized based on the request_mask.

struct kstat includes new fields:
u32               result_mask;  /* What fields the user got */
u64               attributes;   /* See STATX_ATTR_* flags */
struct timespec   btime;        /* File creation time */

Fields attribute and btime are cleared; the result_mask reflects this.  These
appear to be optional based on simple_getattr() and vfs_getattr() within the
kernel, which take the same approach.

Originally, these two function are inline, so their usability is tied to

Chunwei Chen 8e71ab99dc Batch free zpl_posix_acl_release
Currently every calls to zpl_posix_acl_release will schedule a delayed task,
and each delayed task will add a timer. This used to be fine except for
possibly bad performance impact.

However, in Linux 4.8, a new timer wheel implementation[1] is introduced. In
this new implementation, the larger the delay, the less accuracy the timer is.
So when we have a flood of timer from zpl_posix_acl_release, they will expire
at the same time. Couple with the fact that task_expire will do linear search
with lock held. This causes an extreme amount of contention inside interrupt
and would actually lockup the system.

We fix this by doing batch free to prevent a flood of delayed task. Every call
to zpl_posix_acl_release will put the posix_acl to be freed on a lockless
list. Every batch window, 1 sec, the zpl_posix_acl_free will fire up and free
every posix_acl that passed the grace period on the list. This way, we only
have one delayed task every second.

Brian Behlendorf 278bee9319 Linux 3.18 compat: Snapshot auto-mounting
Re-factor the .zfs/snapshot auto-mouting code to take in to account
changes made to the upstream kernels.  And to lay the groundwork for
enabling access to .zfs snapshots via NFS clients.  This patch makes
the following core improvements.

* All actively auto-mounted snapshots are now tracked in two global
trees which are indexed by snapshot name and objset id respectively.
This allows for fast lookups of any auto-mounted snapshot regardless
without needing access to the parent dataset.

* Snapshot entries are added to the tree in zfsctl_snapshot_mount().
However, they are now removed from the tree in the context of the
unmount process.  This eliminates the need complicated error logic
in zfsctl_snapshot_unmount() to handle unmount failures.

* References are now taken on the snapshot entries in the tree to
ensure they always remain valid while a task is outstanding.

* The MNT_SHRINKABLE flag is set on the snapshot vfsmount_t right
after the auto-mount succeeds.  This allows to kernel to unmount
idle auto-mounted snapshots if needed removing the need for the
zfsctl_unmount_snapshots() function.

* Snapshots in active use will not be automatically unmounted.  As
long as at least one dentry is revalidated every zfs_expire_snapshot/2
seconds the auto-unmount expiration timer will be extended.

* Commit torvalds/linux@bafc9b7 caused snapshots auto-mounted by ZFS
to be immediately unmounted when the dentry was revalidated.  This
was a consequence of ZFS invaliding all snapdir dentries to ensure that
negative dentries didn't mask new snapshots.  This patch modifies the
behavior such that only negative dentries are invalidated.  This solves
the issue and may result in a performance improvement.

The 'capabilities' argument which was passed to bdi_setup_and_register()

For our purposes this means there are now three different interfaces
which must be handled.  A zpl_bdi_setup_and_register() wrapper function
has been introduced to provide a single interface to the ZPL code.

* 2.6.32 - 2.6.33, bdi_setup_and_register() is not exported.
* 2.6.34 - 3.19, bdi_setup_and_register() takes 3 arguments.
* 4.0 - x.y, bdi_setup_and_register() takes 2 arguments.

older then 2.6.32 are no longer supported.  All kernels newer than
this will have one of the above interfaces.

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).

Tested with xfstests 285 and 286.  All tests pass except for

and fail because fallocate(2) is not yet supported.

Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to
Linux 2.6.30, but we avoid the need for autotools check by
virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not
added until Linux 3.1.

currently a private function but the expectation is that it
will be exported perhaps as early as Linux 3.11.

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.

provide it.  Luckily the bdi_setup_and_register() function
is trivial.

Brian Behlendorf 76659dc110 Add backing_device_info per-filesystem
For a long time now the kernel has been moving away from using the
pdflush daemon to write 'old' dirty pages to disk.  The primary reason
for this is because the pdflush daemon is single threaded and can be
a limiting factor for performance.  Since pdflush sequentially walks
the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can
slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems.

The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info).  The
bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each
with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback.  The advantage
is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single
filesystem from slowing writeback to the others.

For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't
strictly required to implement the bdi scheme.  However, as of
Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired.

Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only
an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache.
Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked
because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback.

However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi
functionality can cause problems.  If an application handles a page
fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath.  This will
result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in
the system drops below the dirty ratio.

Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the
dirty pages will not get written out.  Thus the application will hang.
As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because
pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages.

This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t
which is already allocated per-super block.  It is then registered
when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount.  It will
not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only.  This
change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created
and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback.

Prasad Joshi b312979252 Tear down and flush the mmap region
The inode eviction should unmap the pages associated with the inode.
These pages should also be flushed to disk to avoid the data loss.
Therefore, use truncate_setsize() in evict_inode() to release the
pagecache.

The API truncate_setsize() was added in 2.6.35 kernel. To ensure
compatibility with the old kernel, the patch defines its own
truncate_setsize function.

Brian Behlendorf 3117dd0b90 Handle NULL in nfsd .fsync() hook
How nfsd handles .fsync() has been changed a couple of times in the
recent kernels.  But basically there are three cases we need to
consider.

Linux 2.6.12 - 2.6.33
* The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments
* The nfsd will call .fsync() with a NULL file struct pointer.

Linux 2.6.34
* The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments
* The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode()

Linux 2.6.35 - 2.6.x
* The .fsync() hook takes 2 arguments
* The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode()

For once it looks like we've gotten lucky.  The first two cases can
actually be collased in to one if we stop using the file struct
pointer entirely.  Since the dentry is still passed in both cases
this is possible.  The last case can then be safely handled by
unconditionally using the dentry in the file struct pointer now
that we know the nfsd caller has been removed.

Brian Behlendorf bdf4328b04 Linux 2.6.28 compat, insert_inode_locked()
Added insert_inode_locked() helper function, prior to this most callers
used insert_inode_hash().  The older method doesn't check for collisions
in the inode_hashtable but it still acceptible for use.  Fallback to
using insert_inode_hash() when insert_inode_locked() is unavailable.

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.
