Brian Behlendorf 4b787d75c8 Cleanly support debug packages
Allow a source rpm to be rebuilt with debugging enabled.  This
avoids the need to have to manually modify the spec file.  By
default debugging is still largely disabled.  To enable specific
debugging features use the following options with rpmbuild.

  '--with debug'               - Enables ASSERTs

  # For example:
  $ rpmbuild --rebuild --with debug zfs-modules-0.6.0-rc6.src.rpm

Additionally, ZFS_CONFIG has been added to zfs_config.h for
packages which build against these headers.  This is critical
to ensure both zfs and the dependant package are using the same
prototype and structure definitions.

Etienne Dechamps 30930fba21 Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.
DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning.
It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from
a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.

We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.

Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

Etienne Dechamps cb2d19010d Support the fallocate() file operation.
Currently only the (FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) flag combination is
supported, since it's the only one that matches the behavior of
zfs_space(). This makes it pretty much useless in its current
form, but it's a start.

To support other flag combinations we would need to modify
zfs_space() to make it more flexible, or emulate the desired
functionality in zpl_fallocate().

Issue #334

Etienne Dechamps 34037afe24 Improve ZVOL queue behavior.
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.

Detailed rationale:

 - max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
   handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
   upper layer decide.

 - max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
   copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
   the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.

 - physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
   has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
   the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
   slow.

 - The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
   Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
   resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
   mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
   making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
   assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

Etienne Dechamps b18019d2d8 Fix synchronicity for ZVOLs.
zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:

    WRITE:       A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
    WRITE_SYNC:  Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
                 the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
                 shortly.
    WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
    WRITE_FUA:   Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
                 non-volatile media on completion.

In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.

The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.

Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

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.

compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run:

    $ ./configure
    $ make pkg     # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well

on the Arch Linux machine to create two binary packages compatible with

another for the zfs kernel modules. The new packages can then be

environment or remote builder can also be build using the 'sarch' make
rule.

NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head
of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx.
As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the
PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may
or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball
is not being downloaded from an outside source.

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.

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.

See commit's 12c1acde76 and
79713039a2 for the reason the
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable options was originally added.

Brian Behlendorf 712f8bd87b Add Gentoo/Lunar/Redhat Init Scripts
Every distribution has slightly different requirements for their
init scripts.  Because of this the zfs package contains several
init scripts for various distributions.  These scripts have been
contributed by, and are supported by, the larger zfs community.
Init scripts for Gentoo/Lunar/Redhat have been contributed by:

  Gentoo - devsk <devsku@gmail.com>
  Lunar  - Jean-Michel Bruenn <jean.bruenn@ip-minds.de>
  Redhat - Fajar A. Nugraha <list@fajar.net>

Brian Behlendorf df554c148e Fix 'zfs set volsize=N pool/dataset'
This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing
a dataset which was not open.  The objset_t stored in the
zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed.
To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg.

The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel
when the block device capacity changes.  For 2.6.28 and newer
kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected.  For
earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the
device is next opened.  This is a known limitation of older
kernels.

Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023
$ zpool create tank /tmp/zvol
$ zfs create -V 500M tank/zd0
$ mkfs.ext3 /dev/zd0
$ mkdir /mnt/zd0
$ mount /dev/zd0 /mnt/zd0
$ df -h /mnt/zd0
$ zfs set volsize=800M tank/zd0
$ resize2fs /dev/zd0
$ df -h /mnt/zd0

Brian Behlendorf 12c1acde76 Set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable globally
As of gcc-4.6 the option -Wunused-but-set-variable is enabled by
default.  While this is a useful warning there are numerous places
in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an
ASSERT().  To avoid having to update every instance of this in the
code we now set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable to suppress the warning.

Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these
warning also become fatal.  We can reevaluate the suppression of these
error at a later time if it becomes an issue.  For now we are basically
just reverting to the previous gcc behavior.

Brian Behlendorf 79713039a2 Fix gcc configure warnings
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests.  It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables.  Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default.  This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.

To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available.  Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.

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.

Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) ae26d0465a Add dracut support
To simplify the process of using zfs as your root filesystem a
zfs-drucat sub-package has been added.  This sub-package adds a zfs
dracut module which allows your initramfs to be rebuilt with zfs
support.  The process for doing this is still complicated but there
is clearly interest from the community about getting this working
well and documented.  This should help lay some of the groundwork.

Longer term these changes should be pushed in the upstream dracut
package.  Once that occurs this subpackage will no longer be
required for new systems, however we may want to conditionally
build this package in the future for systems running older
dracut versions.

Brian Behlendorf 01c0e61da0 Add init scripts
To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed.  Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things.  Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway.  I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.

The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.

Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script.  Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.

This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.

Brian Behlendorf a60b1c0a8e Make Missing Modules.symvers Fatal
Detect early on in configure if the Modules.symvers file is missing.
Without this file there will be build failures later and it's best
to catch this early and provide a useful error.  In this case the
most likely problem is the kernel-devel packages are not installed.
It may also be possible that they are using an unbuilt custom kernel
in which case they must build the kernel first.

Brian Behlendorf 45066d1f20 Linux 2.6.38 compat, blkdev_get_by_path()
The open_bdev_exclusive() function has been replaced (again) by the
more generic blkdev_get_by_path() function.  Additionally, the
counterpart function close_bdev_exclusive() has been replaced by
blkdev_put().  Because these functions are more generic versions
of the functions they replaced the compatibility macro must add
the FMODE_EXCL mask to ensure they are exclusive.

Brian Behlendorf f9637c6c8b Linux 2.6.33 compat, get/set xattr callbacks
The xattr handler prototypes were sanitized with the idea being that
the same handlers could be used for multiple methods.  The result of
this was the inode type was changes to a dentry, and both the get()
and set() hooks had a handler_flags argument added.  The list()
callback was similiarly effected but no autoconf check was added
because we do not use the list() callback.

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 1b94c25ceb Prefer /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ links
Preferentially use the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source and
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build links.  Only if neither of these
links exist fallback to alternate methods for deducing which
kernel to build with.  This resolves the need to manually
specify --with-linux= and --with-linux-obj= on Debian systems.

Brian Behlendorf c5d915f423 Minimal libshare infrastructure
ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be
available.  The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the
library to access the needed symbols.  If this fails libshare
support is simply disabled.

This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare
implementation.  In fact just enough to prevent the build from
failing.  Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a
libshare library like Solaris.  At best this would be an abstraction
layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB.  Alternately, we can drop libshare
entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB.

Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped.  If we
do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be
as part of this package so the check is not needed.
