Brian Behlendorf 4b2220f0b9 Add --enable-debug-log configure option
Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s.  This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart.  The result of this
is the following behavior.

--enable-debug      - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug       ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
                      are never required for correct operation.
                      They are disabled by default because they
                      may impact performance.

--enable-debug-log  - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log   This infrastructure allows the spl code and
                      its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
                      log.  The granularity of the logging can be
                      controlled by a debug mask.  By default the
                      mask disables most debug messages resulting
                      in a negligible performance impact.  Because
                      of this the debug log is enabled by default.

Ned Bass 3c6ed5410b Taskq locking optimizations
Testing has shown that tq->tq_lock can be highly contended when a
large number of small work items are dispatched.  The lock hold time
is reduced by the following changes:

1) Use exclusive threads in the work_waitq

When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single
thread to service it.  The current implementation uses non-exclusive
threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become
non-negligible.

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq

Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if
there are no pending work items.

Ned Bass 0bb43ca282 Revert "Taskq locking optimizations"
This reverts commit ec2b41049f.

A race condition was introduced by which a wake_up() call can be lost
after the taskq thread determines there is no pending work items,
leading to deadlock:

1. taksq thread enables interrupts
2. dispatcher thread runs, queues work item, call wake_up()
3. taskq thread runs, adds self to waitq, sleeps

This could easily happen if an interrupt for an IO completion was
outstanding at the point where the taskq thread reenables interrupts,
just before the call to add_wait_queue_exclusive().  The handler would
run immediately within the race window.

When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single

threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become
non-negligible.

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq outside of tq_lock

Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if there
are no pending work items.  Furthermore, the add and remove function
calls can be made outside of the taskq lock since the wait queues are
protected from concurrent access by their own spinlocks.

3) Call wake_up() outside of tq->tq_lock

Again, the wait queues are protected by their own spinlock, so the
dispatcher functions can drop tq->tq_lock before calling wake_up().

A new splat test taskq:contention was added in a prior commit to measure
the impact of these changes.  The following table summarizes the
results using data from the kernel lock profiler.

                        tq_lock time    %diff   Wall clock (s)  %diff
original:               39117614.10     0       41.72           0
exclusive threads:      31871483.61     18.5    34.2            18.0
unlocked add/rm waitq:  13794303.90     64.7    16.17           61.2
unlocked wake_up():     1589172.08      95.9    16.61           60.2

Each row reflects the average result over 5 test runs.
/proc/lock_stats was zeroed out before and collected after each run.
Column 1 is the cumulative hold time in microseconds for tq->tq_lock.
The tests are cumulative; each row reflects the code changes of the
previous rows.  %diff is calculated with respect to "original" as
100*(orig-new)/orig.

Although calling wake_up() outside of the taskq lock dramatically
reduced the taskq lock hold time, the test actually took slightly more
wall clock time.  This is because the point of contention shifts from
the taskq lock to the wait queue lock.  But the change still seems
worthwhile since it removes our taskq implementation as a bottleneck,
assuming the small increase in wall clock time to be statistical
noise.

Prakash Surya 8f2503e0af Store copy of tqent_flags prior to servicing task
A preallocated taskq_ent_t's tqent_flags must be checked prior to
servicing the taskq_ent_t. Once a preallocated taskq entry is serviced,
the ownership of the entry is handed back to the caller of
taskq_dispatch, thus the entry's contents can potentially be mangled.

In particular, this is a problem in the case where a preallocated taskq
entry is serviced, and the caller clears it's tqent_flags field. Thus,
when the function returns and task_done is called, it looks as though
the entry is **not** a preallocated task (when in fact it **is** a
preallocated task).

In this situation, task_done will place the preallocated taskq_ent_t
structure onto the taskq_t's free list. This is a **huge** mistake. If
the taskq_ent_t is then freed by the caller of taskq_dispatch, the
taskq_t's free list will hold a pointer to garbage data. Even worse, if
nothing has over written the freed memory before the pointer is
dereferenced, it may still look as though it points to a valid list_head
belonging to a taskq_ent_t structure.

Thus, the task entry's flags are now copied prior to servicing the task.
This copy is then checked to see if it is a preallocated task, and
determine if the entry needs to be passed down to the task_done
function.

Prakash Surya e7e5f78e7b Swap taskq_ent_t with taskqid_t in taskq_thread_t
The taskq_t's active thread list is sorted based on its
tqt_ent->tqent_id field. The list is kept sorted solely by inserting
new taskq_thread_t's in their correct sorted location; no other
means is used. This means that once inserted, if a taskq_thread_t's
tqt_ent->tqent_id field changes, the list runs the risk of no
longer being sorted.

Prior to the introduction of the taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface,
this was not a problem as a taskq_ent_t actively being serviced under
the old interface should always have a static tqent_id field. Thus,
once the taskq_thread_t is added to the taskq_t's active thread list,
the taskq_thread_t's tqt_ent->tqent_id field would remain constant.

Now, this is no longer the case. Currently, if using the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, any given taskq_ent_t actively
being serviced _may_ have its tqent_id value incremented. This happens
when the preallocated taskq_ent_t structure is recursively dispatched.
Thus, a taskq_thread_t could potentially have its tqt_ent->tqent_id
field silently modified from under its feet. If this were to happen
to a taskq_thread_t on a taskq_t's active thread list, this would
compromise the integrity of the order of the list (as the list
_may_ no longer be sorted).

To get around this, the taskq_thread_t's taskq_ent_t pointer was
replaced with its own static copy of the tqent_id. So, as a taskq_ent_t
is pulled off of the taskq_t's pending list, a static copy of its
tqent_id is made and this copy is used to sort the active thread
list. Using a static copy is key in ensuring the integrity of the
order of the active thread list. Even if the underlying taskq_ent_t
is recursively dispatched (as has its tqent_id modified), this
static copy stored inside the taskq_thread_t will remain constant.

This patch implements the taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface which
was introduced by the following illumos-gate commit.  It allows for
a preallocated taskq_ent_t to be used when dispatching items to a

lock contention in the taskq when dispatching functions.

Prakash Surya 2c02b71b14 Replace tq_work_list and tq_threads in taskq_t
To lay the ground work for introducing the taskq_dispatch_prealloc()
interface, the tq_work_list and tq_threads fields had to be replaced
with new alternatives in the taskq_t structure.

The tq_threads field was replaced with tq_thread_list. Rather than
storing the pointers to the taskq's kernel threads in an array, they are
now stored as a list. In addition to laying the ground work for the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, this change could also enable taskq
threads to be dynamically created and destroyed as threads can now be
added and removed to this list relatively easily.

The tq_work_list field was replaced with tq_active_list. Instead of
keeping a list of taskq_ent_t's which are currently being serviced, a
list of taskq_threads currently servicing a taskq_ent_t is kept. This
frees up the taskq_ent_t's tqent_list field when it is being serviced
(i.e. now when a taskq_ent_t is being serviced, it's tqent_list field
will be empty).

Brian Behlendorf fe71c0e567 Linux 3.1 compat, shrink_*cache_memory
As of Linux 3.1 the shrink_dcache_memory and shrink_icache_memory
functions have been removed.  This same task is now accomplished
more cleanly with per super block shrinkers.  This unfortunately
leaves us no easy way to support the dnlc_reduce_cache() function.

This support has always been entirely optional.  So when no
reasonable interface is available allow the dnlc_reduce_cache()
function to effectively become a no-op.

The downside of this change is that it will prevent the zfs arc
meta data limts from being enforced.  However, the current zfs
implementation in this regard is already flawed and needs to
be reworked.  If the arc needs to enfore a meta data limit it
will need to be extended to coordinate directly with the zpl.
This will allow us to drop all this compatibility code and get
more fine grained control over the cache management.

Brian Behlendorf 734fcac78d Add crgetfsuid()/crgetfsgid() helpers
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.

Brian Behlendorf 2092cf68d8 Disable vmalloc() direct reclaim
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.

Brian Behlendorf 47995fa691 Remove xvattr support
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 *'.

Brian Behlendorf 5c1967ebe2 Fix zlib compression
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.

Brian Behlendorf 914b063133 Linux compat 2.6.37, invalidate_inodes()
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.

Brian Behlendorf d599e4fa79 Block in cv_destroy() on all waiters
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.

Brian Behlendorf a5b40eed17 Make vn_cache|vn_file_cache kmem caches
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.

Neependra Khare 3f688a8c38 Add cv_timedwait_interruptible() function
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

Brian Behlendorf 6bf4d76f47 Linux Compat: inode->i_mutex/i_sem
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.

Brian Behlendorf 9fe45dc1ac Add Thread Specific Data (TSD) Implementation
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.
