Prior to Linux 3.1 the kern_path_parent symbol was exported for
use by kernel modules. As of Linux 3.1 it is now longer easily
available. To handle this case the spl will now dynamically
look up address of the missing symbol at module load time.

Issue #52
Be careful not to unconditionally clear the PF_MEMALLOC bit in
the task structure. It may have already been set when entering
kv_alloc() in which case it must remain set on exit. In
particular the kswapd thread will have PF_MEMALLOC set in
order to prevent it from entering direct reclaim. By clearing
it we allow the following NULL deref to potentially occur.

When running 'make install' without DESTDIR set the module install
rules would mistakenly destroy the 'modules.*' files for ALL of
your installed kernels. This could lead to a non-functional system
for the alternate kernels because 'depmod -a' will only be run for
the kernel which was compiled against. This issue would not impact
anyone using the 'make <deb|rpm|pkg>' build targets to build and
install packages.
The fix for this issue is to only remove extraneous build products
when DESTDIR is set. This almost exclusively indicates we are
building packages and installed the build products in to a temporary
staging location. Additionally, limit the removal the unneeded
build products to the target kernel version.

While the splat tests were originally designed to stress test
the Solaris primatives. I am extending them to include some kernel
compatibility tests. Certain linux APIs have changed frequently.
These tests ensure that added compatibility is working properly
and no unnoticed regression have slipped in.
Test 1 and 2 add basic regression tests for shrink_icache_memory
and shrink_dcache_memory. These are simply functional tests to
ensure we can call these functions safely. Checking for correct
behavior is more difficult since other running processes will
influence the behavior. However, these functions are provided
by the kernel so if we can successfully call them we assume they
are working correctly.
Test 3 checks that shrinker functions are being registered and
called correctly. As of Linux 3.0 the shrinker API has changed
four different times so I felt the need to add a trivial test
case to ensure each variant works as expected.
Update the the wrapper macros for the memory shrinker to handle
this 4th API change. The callback function now takes a
shrink_control structure. This is certainly a step in the
right direction but it's annoying to have to accomidate yet
another version of the API.
It has become necessary to be able to optionally disable
direct memory reclaim for certain taskqs. To support
this the TASKQ_NORECLAIM flags has been added which sets

The function zlib_deflate_workspacesize() now take 2 arguments.
This was done to avoid always having to allocate the maximum size
workspace (268K). The caller can now specific the windowBits and
memLevel compression parameters to get a smaller workspace.
For our purposes we introduce a spl_zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
wrapper which accepts both arguments. When the two argument
version of zlib_deflate_workspacesize() is available the arguments
are passed through. When it's not we assume the worst case and
a maximally sized workspace is used.
The path_lookup() function has been renamed to kern_path_parent()
and the flags argument has been removed. The only behavior now
offered is that of LOOKUP_PARENT. The spl already always passed
this flag so dropping the flag does not impact us.
This is a long over due compatibility change. Way, way, way back
in 2007 there was a push to remove all consumers of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED.
Finally, in 2011 with 2.6.39 all the consumers have been updated
and SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED was removed. It's about time we use the
new API as well, this change does exactly that. DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
was available as far back as 2.6.12 so there doesn't need to be
any additional autoconf-foo for this change.
Flagged by the default -Wunused-but-set-variable gcc option when
running under Fedora 15. Since it's correct this variable is
entirely unused this commit removes it.
To resolve a potiential filesystem corruption issue a second
argument was added to invalidate_inodes(). This argument controls
whether dirty inodes are dropped or treated as busy when invalidating
a super block. When only the legacy API is available the second
argument will be dropped for compatibility.
Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune
cached entries from the dcache and icache. After the entries are
pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped.
Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy
access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the
reclaim count. However, in practice this doesn't need to be
exactly correct. We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction
(but not all) of the cache. The caller can determine if more
needs to be done.
One of the most common things you want to know when looking at
the slab is how much memory is being used. This information was
available in /proc/spl/kmem/slab but only on a per-slab basis.
This commit adds the following /proc/sys/kernel/spl/kmem/slab*
entries to make total slab usage easily available at a glance.
slab_kmem_total - Total kmem slab size
slab_kmem_avail - Alloc'd kmem slab size
slab_kmem_max - Max observed kmem slab size
slab_vmem_total - Total vmem slab size
slab_vmem_avail - Alloc'd vmem slab size
slab_vmem_max - Max observed vmem slab size
NOTE: The slab_*_max values are expected to over report because
they show maximum values since boot, not current values.
The 'slab_fail', 'slab_create', and 'slab_destroy' columns in the slab
output have been removed because they are virtually always zero and
not very useful.
The much more useful 'size' and 'alloc' columns have been added which
show the total slab size and how much of the total size has been
allocated to objects.
Finally, the formatting has been updated to be much more human
readable while still being friendly for tool like awk to parse.
The Linux shrinker has gone through three API changes since 2.6.22.
Rather than force every caller to understand all three APIs this
change consolidates the compatibility code in to the mm-compat.h
header. The caller then can then use a single spl provided
shrinker API which does the right thing for your kernel.
SPL_SHRINKER_CALLBACK_PROTO(shrinker_callback, cb, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask);
SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE(shrinker_struct, shrinker_callback, seeks);
spl_register_shrinker(&shrinker_struct);
spl_unregister_shrinker(&&shrinker_struct);
spl_exec_shrinker(&shrinker_struct, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask);
Solaris credentials don't have an fsuid/fsguid field but Linux
credentials do. To handle this case the Solaris API is being
modestly extended to include the crgetfsuid()/crgetfsgid()
helper functions.
Addititionally, because the crget*() helpers are implemented
identically regardless of HAVE_CRED_STRUCT they have been
moved outside the #ifdef to common code. This simplification
means we only have one version of the helper to keep to to date.
As part of vmalloc() a __pte_alloc_kernel() allocation may occur. This
internal allocation does not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
This means even when vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) is called it is possible that a
synchronous reclaim will occur. This reclaim can trigger file IO which
can result in a deadlock. This issue can be avoided by explicitly
setting PF_MEMALLOC on the process to subvert synchronous reclaim when
vmalloc() is called with !__GFP_FS.
An example stack of the deadlock can be found here (1), along with the
upstream kernel bug (2), and the original bug discussion on the
linux-mm mailing list (3). This code can be properly autoconf'ed
when the upstream bug is fixed.

The xvattr support in the spl has always simply consisted of
defining a couple structures and a few #defines. This was enough
to enable compilation of code which just passed xvattr types
around but not enough to effectively manipulate them.
This change removes even this minimal support leaving it up
to packages which leverage the spl to prove the full xvattr
support. By removing it from the spl we ensure not conflict
with the higher level packages.
This just leaves minimal vnode support for basical manipulation
of files. This code is does have the proper support functions
in the spl and a set of regression tests.
Additionally, this change removed the unused 'caller_context_t *'
type and replaces it with a 'void *'.
A zlib regression test has been added to verify the correct behavior
of z_compress_level() and z_uncompress. The test case simply takes
a 128k buffer, it compresses the buffer, it them uncompresses the
buffer, and finally it compares the buffers after the transform.
If the buffers match then everything is fine and no data was lost.
It performs this test for all 9 zlib compression levels.
While portions of the code needed to support z_compress_level() and
z_uncompress() where in place. In reality the current implementation
was non-functional, it just was compilable.
The critical missing component was to setup a workspace for the
compress/uncompress stream structures to use. A kmem_cache was
added for the workspace area because we require a large chunk
of memory. This avoids to need to continually alloc/free this
memory and vmap() the pages which is very slow. Several objects
will reside in the per-cpu kmem_cache making them quick to acquire
and release. A further optimization would be to adjust the
implementation to additional ensure the memory is local to the cpu.
Currently that may not be the case.
In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules. This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.
Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address. The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn. Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address. All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.
Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.
Previously we would ASSERT in cv_destroy() if it was ever called
with active waiters. However, I've now seen several instances in
OpenSolaris code where they do the following:
cv_broadcast();
cv_destroy();
This leaves no time for active waiters to be woken up and scheduled
and we trip the ASSERT. This has not been observed to be an issue
on OpenSolaris because their cv_destroy() basically does nothing.
They still do run the risk of the memory being free'd after the
cv_destroy() and hitting a bad paging request. But in practice
this race is so small and unlikely it either doesn't happen, or
is so unlikely when it does happen the root cause has not yet been
identified.
Rather than risk the same issue in our code this change updates
cv_destroy() to block until all waiters have been woken and
scheduled. This may take some time because each waiter must
acquire the mutex.
This change may have an impact on performance for frequently
created and destroyed condition variables. That however is a price
worth paying it avoid crashing your system. If performance issues
are observed they can be addressed by the caller.
Previously these were defined to noops but rather than give
the misleading impression that these are actually implemented
I'm removing the type entirely for clarity.
Both of these caches were previously allowed to be either a
vmem or kmem cache based on the size of the object involved.
Since we know the object won't be to large and performce is
much better for a kmem cache for them to be kmem backed.
The cv_timedwait() function by definition must wait unconditionally
for cv_signal()/cv_broadcast() before waking. This causes processes
to go in the D state which increases the load average. The load
average is the summation of processes in D state and run queue.
To avoid this it can be desirable to sleep interruptibly. These
processes do not count against the load average but may be woken by
a signal. It is up to the caller to determine why the process
was woken it may be for one of three reasons.
1) cv_signal()/cv_broadcast()
2) the timeout expired
3) a signal was received

Create spl_inode_lock/spl_inode_unlock compability macros to simply
access to the inode mutex/sem. This avoids the need to have to ugly
up the code with the required #define's at every call site. At the
moment the SPL only uses this in one place but higher layers can
benefit from the macro.
To validate the correct behavior of the TSD interfaces it's
important that we add a regression test. This test is designed
to minimally exercise the fundamental TSD behavior, it does not
attempt to validate all potential corner cases.
The test will first create 32 keys via tsd_create() and register
a common destructor. Next 16 wait threads will be created each
of which set/verify a random value for all 32 keys, then block
waiting to be released by the control thread. Meanwhile the
control thread verifies that none of the destructors have been
run prematurely.
The next phase of the test is to create 16 exit threads which
set/verify a random value for all 32 keys. They then immediately
exit. This is is designed to verify tsd_exit() which will be
called via thread_exit(). This must result in all registered
destructors being run and the memory for the tsd being free'd.
After this tsd_destroy() is verified by destroying all 32 keys.
Once again we must see the expected number of destructors run
and the tsd memory free'd. At this point the blocked threads
are released and they exit calling tsd_exit() which should do
very little since all the tsd has already been destroyed.
If this all goes off without a hitch the test passes. To ensure
no memory has been leaked, I have manually verified that after
spl module unload no memory is reported leaked.
Thread specific data has implemented using a hash table, this avoids
the need to add a member to the task structure and allows maximum
portability between kernels. This implementation has been optimized
to keep the tsd_set() and tsd_get() times as small as possible.
The majority of the entries in the hash table are for specific tsd
entries. These entries are hashed by the product of their key and
pid because by design the key and pid are guaranteed to be unique.
Their product also has the desirable properly that it will be uniformly
distributed over the hash bins providing neither the pid nor key is zero.
Under linux the zero pid is always the init process and thus won't be
used, and this implementation is careful to never to assign a zero key.
By default the hash table is sized to 512 bins which is expected to
be sufficient for light to moderate usage of thread specific data.
The hash table contains two additional type of entries. They first
type is entry is called a 'key' entry and it is added to the hash during
tsd_create(). It is used to store the address of the destructor function
and it is used as an anchor point. All tsd entries which use the same
key will be linked to this entry. This is used during tsd_destory() to
quickly call the destructor function for all tsd associated with the key.
The 'key' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the
key you wish to lookup and DTOR_PID constant as the pid.
The second type of entry is called a 'pid' entry and it is added to the
hash the first time a process set a key. The 'pid' entry is also used
as an anchor and all tsd for the process will be linked to it. This
list is using during tsd_exit() to ensure all registered destructors
are run for the process. The 'pid' entry may be looked up with
tsd_hash_search() by passing the PID_KEY constant as the key, and
the process pid. Note that tsd_exit() is called by thread_exit()
so if your using the Solaris thread API you should not need to call
tsd_exit() directly.
For debugging purposes the condition varaibles keep track of the
mutex used during a wait. The idea is to validate that all callers
always use the same mutex. Unfortunately, we have seen cases where
the caller reuses the condition variable with a different mutex but
in a way which is known to be safe. My reading of the man pages
suggests you should not do this and always cv_destroy()/cv_init()
a new mutex. However, there is overhead in doing this and it does
appear to be allowed under Solaris.
To accomidate this behavior cv_wait_common() and __cv_timedwait()
have been modified to clear the associated mutex when the last
waiter is dropped. This ensures that while the condition variable
is in use the incorrect mutex case is detected. It also allows the
condition variable to be safely recycled without requiring the
overhead of a cv_destroy()/cv_init() as long as it isn't currently
in use.
Finally, spin lock cv->cv_lock was removed because it is not required.
When the condition variable is used properly the caller will always
be holding the mutex so the spin lock is redundant. The lock was
originally added because I expected to need to protect more than
just the cv->cv_mutex. It turns out that was not the case.

As of linux-2.6.36 the last in-tree consumer of fops->ioctl() has
been removed and thus fops()->ioctl() has also been removed. The
replacement hook is fops->unlocked_ioctl() which has existed in
kernel since 2.6.12. Since the SPL only contains support back
to 2.6.18 vintage kernels, I'm not adding an autoconf check for
this and simply moving everything to use fops->unlocked_ioctl().
In the linux-2.6.36 kernel the fs_struct lock was changed from a
rwlock_t to a spinlock_t. If the kernel would export the set_fs_pwd()
symbol by default this would not have caused us any issues, but they
don't. So we're forced to add a new autoconf check which sets the
HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used. We can
then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom
set_fs_pwd() implementation.
Flagged by the default compile options on archlinux 2010.05, we should
be using the krw_t type not the krw_type_t type in the private data.

As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument. The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it. This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.
To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API. Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments. For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/spl/spl-x.y.z.tar.gz

This is something the project has almost supported for a long time
but finishing this support should save me lots of time.
At some point we are going to need to implement the kmem cache
move callbacks to allow for kmem cache defragmentation. This
commit simply lays a small part of the API ground work, it does
not actually implement any of this feature. This is safe for
now because the move callbacks are just an optimization. Even
if they are registered we don't ever really have to call them.
Unless __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS are removed from the file mapping gfp
mask we may enter memory reclaim during IO. In this case shrink_slab()

This additional stack usage may cause a stack overflow. This patch
removes __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS from the mapping gfp mask of each file
during vn_open() to avoid any reclaim in the vn_rdwr() IO path. The
original mask is then restored at vn_close() time. Hats off to the
loop driver which does something similiar for the same reason.

When TQ_SLEEP is used, taskq_dispatch() should always succeed even if the
number of pending tasks is above tq->tq_maxalloc. This semantic is similar
to KM_SLEEP in kmem allocations, which also always succeed.
However, we cannot block forever otherwise there is a risk of deadlock.
Therefore, we still allow the number of pending tasks to go above
tq->tq_maxalloc with TQ_SLEEP, but we may sleep up to 1 second per task
dispatch, thereby throttling the task dispatch rate.
One of the existing splat tests was also augmented to test for this scenario.
The test would fail with the previous implementation but now it succeeds.

Using kmem_free() results in deducting X bytes from the memory
accounting when --enable-debug is set. Unfortunately, currently
the counterpart kmem_asprintf() and friends do not properly
account for memory allocated, so we must do the same on free.
If we don't then we end up with a negative number of lost bytes
reported when the module is unloaded.
A better long term fix would be to add the accounting in to the
allocation side but that's a project for another day.
Extend the Makefiles with an uninstall target to cleanly
remove a package which was installed with 'make install'.
Additionally, ensure a 'depmod -a' is run as part of the
install to update the module dependency information.
The Solaris semantics for kmem_alloc() and vmem_alloc() are that they
must never fail when called with KM_SLEEP. They may only fail if
called with KM_NOSLEEP otherwise they must block until memory is
available. This is quite different from how the Linux memory
allocators work, under Linux a memory allocation failure is always
possible and must be dealt with.
At one point in the past the kmem code did properly implement this
behavior, however as the code evolved this behavior was overlooked
in places. This patch goes through all three implementations of
the kmem/vmem allocation functions and ensures that they will all
block in the KM_SLEEP case when memory is not available. They
may still fail in the KM_NOSLEEP case in which case the caller
is responsible for handling the failure.
Special care is taken in vmalloc_nofail() to avoid thrashing the
system on the virtual address space spin lock. The down side of
course is if you do see a failure here, which is unlikely for
64-bit systems, your allocation will delay for an entire second.
Still this is preferable to locking up your system and it is the
best we can do given the constraints.
Additionally, the code was cleaned up to be much more readable
and comments were added to describe the various kmem-debug-*
configure options. The default configure options remain:
"--enable-debug-kmem --disable-debug-kmem-tracking"
In cmd/splat.c there was a comparison between an __u32 and an int. To
resolve the issue simply use a __u32 and strtoul() when converting the
provided user string.
In module/spl/spl-vnode.c we should explicitly cast nd->last.name to
a const char * which is what is expected by the prototype.
Commit 55abb0929e removed the never
used format1 argument of spl_debug_msg(). That in turn resulted
in some deadcode which should be removed since it's now useless.
When the kvasprintf() call fails they should reset the arguments
by calling va_start()/va_copy() and va_end() inside the loop,
otherwise they'll try to read more arguments rather than starting
over and reading them from the beginning.

To avoid conflicts with symbols defined by dependent packages
all debugging symbols have been prefixed with a 'S' for SPL.
Any dependent package needing to integrate with the SPL debug
should include the spl-debug.h header and use the 'S' prefixed
macros. They must also build with DEBUG defined.
To avoid symbol conflicts with dependent packages the debug
header must be split in to several parts. The <sys/debug.h>
header now only contains the Solaris macro's such as ASSERT
and VERIFY. The spl-debug.h header contain the spl specific
debugging infrastructure and should be included by any package
which needs to use the spl logging. Finally the spl-trace.h
header contains internal data structures only used for the log
facility and should not be included by anythign by spl-debug.c.
This way dependent packages can include the standard Solaris
headers without picking up any SPL debug macros. However, if
the dependant package want to integrate with the SPL debugging
subsystem they can then explicitly include spl-debug.h.
Along with this change I have dropped the CHECK_STACK macros
because the upstream Linux kernel now has much better stack
depth checking built in and we don't need this complexity.
Additionally SBUG has been replaced with PANIC and provided as
part of the Solaris macro set. While the Solaris version is
really panic() that conflicts with the Linux kernel so we'll
just have to make due to PANIC. It should rarely be called
directly, the prefered usage would be an ASSERT or VERIFY.
There's lots of change here but this cleanup was overdue.
The threads in the splat atomic:64-bit test share the data structure
atomic_priv_t ap, which lives on the kernel stack of the splat user-space
utility. If splat terminates before the threads, accesses to that memory
location by the other threads become invalid. Splat synchronizes with
the threads with the call:
wait_event_interruptible(ap.ap_waitq, splat_atomic_test1_cond(&ap, i));
Apparently, the SIGINT wakes and terminates splat prematurely, so that
GPFs or other bad things happen when the threads subsequently access ap.
This commit prevents this by using the uninterruptible form:
wait_event(ap.ap_waitq, splat_atomic_test1_cond(&ap, i));
The prototype for filp_fsync() drop the unused argument 'stuct dentry *'.
I've fixed this by adding the needed autoconf check and moving all of
those filp related functions to file_compat.h. This will simplify
handling any further API changes in the future.
Up until now no SPL consumer attempted to perform signed 64-bit
division so there was no need to support this. That has now
changed so I adding 64-bit division support for 32-bit platforms.
The signed implementation is based on the unsigned version.
Since the have been several bug reports in the past concerning
correct 64-bit division on 32-bit platforms I added some long
over due regression tests. Much to my surprise the unsigned
64-bit division regression tests failed.
This was surprising because __udivdi3() was implemented by simply
calling div64_u64() which is provided by the kernel. This meant
that the linux kernels 64-bit division algorithm on 32-bit platforms
was flawed. After some investigation this turned out to be exactly
the case.
Because of this I was forced to abandon the kernel helper and
instead to fully implement 64-bit division in the spl. There are
several published implementation out there on how to do this
properly and I settled on one proposed in the book Hacker's Delight.
Their proposed algoritm is freely available without restriction
and I have just modified it to be linux kernel friendly.
The update implementation now passed all the unsigned and signed
regression tests. This should be functional, but not fast, which is
good enough for out purposes. If you want fast too I'd strongly
suggest you upgrade to a 64-bit platform. I have also reported the
kernel bug and we'll see if we can't get it fixed up stream.
For some reason when awk invoked by the usermode helper the command
always fails. Interestingly gawk does not suffer from this problem
which is why I never observed this failure since the distro I tested
with all had gawk installed instead of awk. Anyway, the simplest
thing to do here is to just make gawk mandatory. I've added a
configure check for gawk specifically and have updated the command
to call gawk not awk.
I didn't notice at the time but user_path_dir() was not introduced
at the same time as set_fs_pwd() change. I had lumped the two
together but in fact user_path_dir() was introduced in 2.6.27 and
set_fs_pwd() taking 2 args was introduced in 2.6.25. This means
builds against 2.6.25-2.6.26 kernels were broken.
To fix this I've added a check for user_path_dir() and no longer
assume that if set_fs_pwd() takes 2 args then user_path_dir() is
also available.
Use 3 threads and 8 tasks. Dispatch the final 3 tasks with TQ_FRONT.
The first three tasks keep the worker threads busy while we stuff the
queues. Use msleep() to force a known execution order, assuming
TQ_FRONT is properly honored. Verify that the expected completion
order occurs.
The splat_taskq_test5_order() function may be useful in more than
one test. This commit generalizes it by renaming the function to
splat_taskq_test_order() and adding a name argument instead of
assuming SPLAT_TASKQ_TEST5_NAME as the test name.
The documentation for splat taskq regression test #5 swaps the two required
completion orders in the diagram. This commit corrects the error.

On open() and initialize the buffer with the SPL version string. The

it opens and reads from /dev/splatctl.

Adds a task queue to receive tasks dispatched with TQ_FRONT. Worker
threads pull tasks from this high priority queue before the default
pending queue.
Executing tasks out of FIFO order potentially breaks taskq_lowest_id()
if we do not preserve the ordering of the work list by taskqid.
Therefore, instead of always appending to the work list, we search for
the appropriate place to insert a task. The common case is to append
to the list, so we make this operation efficient by searching the work
list in reverse order.

As of linux-2.6.33 the ctl_name member of the ctl_table struct
has been entirely removed. The upstream code has been updated
to depend entirely on the the procname member. To handle this
all references to ctl_name are wrapped in a CTL_NAME macro which
simply expands to nothing for newer kernels. Older kernels are
supported by having it expand to .ctl_name = X just as before.
When HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER is defined and we are directly accessing
mutex->owner treat is as volative with the ACCESS_ONCE() helper.
Without this you may get a stale cached value when accessing it
from different cpus. This can result in incorrect behavior from
mutex_owned() and mutex_owner(). This is not a problem for the
!HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER case because in this case all the accesses
are covered by a spin lock which similarly gaurentees we will
not be accessing stale data.
Secondly, check CONFIG_SMP before allowing access to mutex->owner.
I see that for non-SMP setups the kernel does not track the owner
so we cannot rely on it.
Thirdly, check CONFIG_MUTEX_DEBUG when this is defined and the
HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER is defined surprisingly the mutex->owner will
not be cleared on mutex_exit(). When this is the case the SPL
needs to make sure to do it to ensure MUTEX_HELD() behaves as
expected or you will certainly assert in mutex_destroy().
Finally, improve the mutex regression tests. For mutex_owned() we
now minimally check that it behaves correctly when checked from the
owner thread or the non-owner thread. This subtle behaviour has bit
me before and I'd like to catch it early next time if it reappears.
As for mutex_owned() regression test additonally verify that
mutex->owner is always cleared on mutex_exit().
The call to wake_up() must be moved under the spin lock because
once we drop the lock 'tp' may no longer be valid because the
creating thread has exited. This basic thread implementation
was correct, this was simply a flaw in the test case.
We might as well have both asprintf() variants. This allows us
to safely pass a va_list through several levels of the stack
using va_copy() instead of va_start().
This fix was long overdue. Most of the ground work was laid long
ago to include the exact function and line number in the error message
which there was an issue with a memory allocation call. However,
probably due to lack of time at the moment that informatin never
made it in to the error message. This patch fixes that and trys
to standardize the kmem debug messages as well.
This patch adds three missing Solaris functions: kmem_asprintf(), strfree(),
and strdup(). They are all implemented as a thin layer which just calls
their Linux counterparts. As part of this an autoconf check for kvasprintf
was added because it does not appear in older kernels. If the kernel does
not provide it then spl-generic implements it.
Additionally the dead DEBUG_KMEM_UNIMPLEMENTED code was removed to clean
things up and make the kmem.h a little more readable.
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.
Running 'zpool create' on a 32-bit machine with an SPL compiled with
gcc 4.4.4 led to a stack overlow. This turned out to be due to some
sort of 'optimization' by gcc:
uint64_t __umoddi3(uint64_t dividend, uint64_t divisor)
{
return dividend - divisor * (dividend / divisor);
}
This code was supposed to be using __udivdi3 to implement /, but gcc
instead implemented it via __umoddi3 itself.

Remove RW_COUNT() from the rwlock implementation. The idea was that it
could be used as a generic wrapper for getting at the internal state
of a rwlock. While a good idea it's proven problematic to keep it
correct for multiple archs and internal implementation changes. In
short it hasn't been worth the trouble.
With that and simplicity in mind things have been updated to use the
rwsem_is_locked() function instead of RW_COUNT for the RW_*_HELD()
functions. As for rw_upgrade() it remains only implemented for
the generic rwsem implemenation. It remains to be determined if its
worth the effort of adding a custom implementation for each arch.
While I may prefer to have the system panic on an SBUG and to get
crash dump for analysis. I suspect most peoples systems are not
configured from crash dump and the best thing to so is to simply
halt the thread and print an error to the console. This way they
have a good chance of actually saving the stack trace and debug log.
Remove the kmem_set_warning() hack used by the kmem-splat regression
tests with a per-allocation flag called __GFP_NOWARN. This matches
the lower level linux flag of similar by slightly different function.
The idea is you can then explicitly set this flag on requests where
you know your breaking the max 8k rule but you need/want to do it
anyway.
This is currently used by the regression tests where we intentionally
push things to the limit but don't want the log noise. Additionally,
we are forced to use it in spl_kmem_cache_create() because by default
NR_CPUS is very large and theres no easy way to handle that.
Finally, I've added a stack_dump() call to the warning when it is
trigger to make to clear exactly where the allocation is taking place.
Using /tmp/ is a preferable default, it can always be overriden
using the module option on a case-by-case basis.
Additionally standardize some log messages based on the same
default log level used by the kernel.
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.
While this does incur slightly more overhead we should be using
do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime() for gethrtime() as described
by the existing comment.
This is a minor extension to the condition variable API to allow
for reasonable signal handling on Linux. The cv_wait() function by
definition must wait unconditionally for cv_signal()/cv_broadcast()
before waking it. This makes it impossible to woken by a signal
such as SIGTERM. The cv_wait_interruptible() function was added
to handle this case. It behaves identically to cv_wait() with the
exception that it waits interruptibly allowing a signal to wake it
up. This means you do need to be careful and check issig() after
waking.
When dumping a debug log first check that it is safe to create
a new thread and block waiting for it. If we are in an atomic
context or irqs and disabled it is not safe to sleep and we
must write out of the debug log from the current process.
During module init spl_setup()->The vn_set_pwd("/") was failing
with -EFAULT because user_path_dir() and __user_walk() both
expect 'filename' to be a user space address and it's not in
this case. To handle this the data segment size is increased
to to ensure strncpy_from_user() does not fail with -EFAULT.
Additionally, I've added a printk() warning to catch this and
log it to the console if it ever reoccurs. I thought everything
was working properly here because there consequences of this
failing are subtle and usually non-critical.
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly. This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed. This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h. That turns out to be easier said than done. In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.
To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command. This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file. This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.
Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included. It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.
Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds. If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'. Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.
Allowing MAX_ORDER-1 sized allocations for kmem based slabs have
been observed to result in deadlocks. To help prvent this limit
max kmem based slab size to MAX_ORDER-3. Just for the record
callers should not be creating slabs like this, but if they do
we should still handle it as safely as we can.
As of linux-2.6.32 the 'struct file *filp' argument was dropped from
the proc_handle() prototype. It was apparently unused _almost_
everywhere in the kernel and this was simply cleanup.
I've added a new SPL_AC_5ARGS_PROC_HANDLER autoconf check for this and
the proper compat macros to correctly define the prototypes and some
helper functions. It's not pretty but API compat changes rarely are.
Fix panic() string, which was being used as a format string, instead of an already-formatted string.

This test case verifies the correct behavior of taskq_wait_id().
In particular it ensure the the following two cases are handled
properly:
1) Task ids larger than the waited for task id can run and
complete as long as there is an available worker thread.
2) All task ids lower than the waited one must complete before
unblocking even if the waited task id itself has completed.
