Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux. They
are 'context', 'fscontext', 'defcontext' and 'rootcontext' which map
directly to the context options described in mount(8). When one of
these properties is set to something other than 'none'. That string
will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when
the filesystem is mounted.
For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set
to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows:
$ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media
This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that
rootcontext. It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext
with the -o option like this:
$ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media
By default all four contexts are set to 'none'. Further information
on SELinux contexts is detailed in mount(8) and selinux(8) man pages.

Issue #1968
In the current snapshot automount implementation, it is possible for
multiple mounts to attempted concurrently. Only one of the mounts will
succeed and the other will fail. The failed mounts will cause an EREMOTE
to be propagated back to the application.
This commit works around the problem by adding a new exit status,
MOUNT_BUSY to the mount.zfs program which is used when the underlying
mount(2) call returns EBUSY. The zfs code detects this condition and
treats it as if the mount had succeeded.

Closes#1819
The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback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.

Several issues related to strange mount/umount behavior were reported
and this commit should address most of them. The original idea was
to put in place a zfs mount helper (mount.zfs). This helper is used
to enforce 'legacy' mount behavior, and perform any extra mount argument
processing (selinux, zfsutil, etc). This helper wasn't ready for the
0.6.0-rc1 release but with this change it's functional but needs to
extensively tested.
This change addresses the following open issues.

By design the zfs utility is supposed to handle mounting and unmounting
a zfs filesystem. We could allow zfs to do this directly. There are
system calls available to mount/umount a filesystem. And there are
library calls available to manipulate /etc/mtab. But there are a
couple very good reasons not to take this appraoch... for now.
Instead of directly calling the system and library calls to (u)mount
the filesystem we fork and exec a (u)mount process. The principle
reason for this is to delegate the responsibility for locking and
updating /etc/mtab to (u)mount(8). This ensures maximum portability
and ensures the right locking scheme for your version of (u)mount
will be used. If we didn't do this we would have to resort to an
autoconf test to determine what locking mechanism is used.
The downside to using mount(8) instead of mount(2) is that we lose
the exact errno which was returned by the kernel. The return code
from mount(8) provides some insight in to what went wrong but it
not quite as good. For the moment this is translated as a best
guess in to a errno for the higher layers of zfs.
In the long term a shared library called libmount is under development
which provides a common API to address the locking and errno issues.
Once the standard mount utility has been updated to use this library
we can then leverage it. Until then this is the only safe solution.

to files directly copied from OpenSolaris and the addition of new
files needed to fill in the gaps.
