One of the side effects of calling zvol_create_minors() in
zvol_init() is that all pools listed in the cache file will
be opened. Depending on the state and contents of your pool
this operation can take a considerable length of time.
Doing this at load time is undesirable because the kernel
is holding a global module lock. This prevents other modules
from loading and can serialize an otherwise parallel boot
process. Doing this after module inititialization also
reduces the chances of accidentally introducing a race
during module init.
To ensure that /dev/zvol/<pool>/<dataset> devices are
still automatically created after the module load completes
a udev rules has been added. When udev notices that the
/dev/zfs device has been create the 'zpool list' command
will be run. This then will cause all the pools listed
in the zpool.cache file to be opened.
Because this process in now driven asynchronously by udev
there is the risk of problems in downstream distributions.

7-9 of 285 which try to reserve blocks first via fallocate(2)
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.

While these failures were unlikely it could lead to assertions
because KM_PUSHPAGE allocations in particular are guaranteed to

ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache.
On dcenter, we saw that we were caching ~256GB of metadata, while the
pool only had <4GB of metadata on disk. We were wasting about half the
system's RAM (252GB) on blocks that have been freed.
Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus will
eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory inefficiently for 2
reasons:
1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but will
be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed before it
(and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has at least some
chance of being accessed again.
2. We partition the ARC into several buckets:
user data that has been accessed only once (MRU)
metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU)
user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the primary
control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata is to
simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the past
(each bucket "evicts against" itself). The secondary control is to
evict data before evicting metadata.
Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly
containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has more
recently accessed, still-allocated blocks. Data in the useful bucket
(with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to data in
the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks).
On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the MFU
data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB. However,
the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB) was freed
blocks, and thus useless. Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket (230MB)
was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed.
The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more
investigation. However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should
reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.

The vn_rdwr() function performs I/O by calling the vfs_write() or

call layer and the expectation is they have almost the entire 8k of

such as ext+lvm+md+multipath require the majority of this stack to
avoid stack overflows.
To avoid this posibility the vn_rdwr() call in dump_bytes() has been
moved to the ZIO_TYPE_FREE, taskq. This ensures that all I/O will be
performed with the majority of the stack space available. This ends
up being very similiar to as if the I/O were issued via sys_write()

Notes for Linux port:
Earlier commit 08d08eb reduced contention on this taskq lock by simply
reducing the number of z_fr_iss threads from 100 to one-per-CPU. We
also optimized the taskq implementation in zfsonlinux/spl@3c6ed54.
These changes significantly improved unlink performance to acceptable
levels.
This patch further reduces time spent spinning on this lock by
randomly dispatching the work items over multiple independent task
queues. The Illumos ZFS developers stated that this lock contention
only arose after "3329 spa_sync() spends 10-20% of its time in
spa_free_sync_cb()" was landed. It's not clear if 3329 affects the
Linux port or not. I didn't see spa_free_sync_cb() show up in
oprofile sessions while unlinking large files, but I may just not
have used the right test case.
I tested unlinking a 1 TB of data with and without the patch and
didn't observe a meaningful difference in elapsed time. However,
oprofile showed that the percent time spent in taskq_thread() was
reduced from about 16% to about 5%. Aside from a possible slight
performance benefit this may be worth landing if only for the sake of
maintaining consistency with upstream.

The vdev_file.c implementation in this patch diverges significantly
from the upstream version. For consistenty with the vdev_disk.c
code the upstream version leverages the Illumos bio interfaces.
This makes sense for Illumos but not for ZoL for two reasons.
1) The vdev_disk.c code in ZoL has been rewritten to use the
Linux block device interfaces which differ significantly
from those in Illumos. Therefore, updating the vdev_file.c
to use the Illumos interfaces doesn't get you consistency
with vdev_disk.c.
2) Using the upstream patch as is would requiring implementing
compatibility code for those Solaris block device interfaces
in user and kernel space. That additional complexity could
lead to confusion and doesn't buy us anything.
For these reasons I've opted to simply move the existing vn_rdwr()
as is in to the taskq function. This has the advantage of being
low risk and easy to understand. Moving the vn_rdwr() function
in to its own taskq thread also neatly avoids the possibility of
a stack overflow.
Finally, because of the additional work which is being handled by
the free taskq the number of threads has been increased. The
thread count under Illumos defaults to 100 but was decreased to 2
in commit 08d08e due to contention. We increase it to 8 until
the contention can be address by porting Illumos #3581.

NOTES: This patch has been reworked from the original in the
following ways to accomidate Linux ZFS implementation
*) Usage of the cyclic interface was replaced by the delayed taskq
interface. This avoids the need to implement new compatibility
code and allows us to rely on the existing taskq implementation.
*) An extern for zfs_txg_synctime_ms was added to sys/dsl_pool.h
because declaring externs in source files as was done in the
original patch is just plain wrong.
*) Instead of panicing the system when the deadman triggers a
zevent describing the blocked vdev and the first pending I/O
is posted. If the panic behavior is desired Linux provides
other generic methods to panic the system when threads are
observed to hang.
*) For reference, to delay zios by 30 seconds for testing you can
use zinject as follows: 'zinject -d <vdev> -D30 <pool>'

A deadlock was accidentally introduced by commit e95853a which
can occur when the system is under memory pressure. What happens
is that while the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu
locks it enters memory reclaim. In the context of this memory
reclaim it then issues synchronous I/O to a ZVOL swap device.
Because the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks
a new txg cannot be opened to handle the I/O. Deadlock.
The fix is straight forward. Move the memory allocation outside
the critical region where the tx->tx_cpu locks are held. And for
good measure change the offending allocation to KM_PUSHPAGE to
ensure it never attempts to issue I/O during reclaim.

Previous patches have allowed you to set an increased ashift to
avoid doing 512b IO with 4k sector devices. However, it was not
possible to set the ashift lower than the reported physical sector
size even when a smaller logical size was supported. In practice,
there are several cases where settong a lower ashift is useful:
* Most modern drives now correctly report their physical sector
size as 4k. This causes zfs to correctly default to using a 4k
sector size (ashift=12). However, for some usage models this
new default ashift value causes an unacceptable increase in
space usage. Filesystems with many small files may see the
total available space reduced to 30-40% which is unacceptable.
* When replacing a drive in an existing pool which was created
with ashift=9 a modern 4k sector drive cannot be used. The
'zpool replace' command will issue an error that the new drive
has an 'incompatible sector alignment'. However, by allowing
the ashift to be manual specified as smaller, non-optimal,
value the device may still be safely used.

The new snapdev dataset property may be set to control the
visibility of zvol snapshot devices. By default this value
is set to 'hidden' which will prevent zvol snapshots from
appearing under /dev/zvol/ and /dev/<dataset>/. When set to
'visible' all zvol snapshots for the dataset will be visible.
This functionality was largely added because when automatic
snapshoting is enabled large numbers of read-only zvol snapshots
will be created. When creating these devices the kernel will
attempt to read their partition tables, and blkid will attempt
to identify any filesystems on those partitions. This leads
to a variety of issues:
1) The zvol partition tables will be read in the context of
the `modprobe zfs` for automatically imported pools. This
is undesirable and should be done asynchronously, but for
now reducing the number of visible devices helps.
2) Udev expects to be able to complete its work for a new
block devices fairly quickly. When many zvol devices are
added at the same time this is no longer be true. It can
lead to udev timeouts and missing /dev/zvol links.
3) Simply having lots of devices in /dev/ can be aukward from
a management standpoint. Hidding the devices your unlikely
to ever use helps with this. Any snapshot device which is
needed can be made visible by changing the snapdev property.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behavior for zvols which
was effectively 'snapdev=visible'.

The changes to zvol.c were never merged from the last onnv_147
bulk update. This was because zvol.c was largely rewritten
for Linux making it fairly easy to miss these sorts of changes.
This causes a regression when importing a zpool with zvols
read-only. This does not impact pool which only contain
filesystem datasets.

The PaX team modified the kernel's modpost to report writeable function
pointers as section mismatches because they are potential exploit
targets. We could ignore the warnings, but their presence can obscure
actual issues. Proper const correctness can also catch programming
mistakes.
Building the kernel modules against a PaX/GrSecurity patched Linux 3.4.2
kernel reports 133 section mismatches prior to this patch. This patch
eliminates 130 of them. The quantity of writeable function pointers
eliminated by constifying each structure is as follows:
vdev_opts_t 52
zil_replay_func_t 24
zio_compress_info_t 24
zio_checksum_info_t 9
space_map_ops_t 7
arc_byteswap_func_t 5
The remaining 3 writeable function pointers cannot be addressed by this
patch. 2 of them are in zpl_fs_type. The kernel's sget function requires
that this be non-const. The final writeable function pointer is created
by SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE. The kernel's set_shrinker() and
remove_shrinker() functions also require that this be non-const.

The issue with hot spares in ZoL is because it opens all leaf
vdevs exclusively (O_EXCL). On Linux, exclusive opens cause
subsequent exclusive opens to fail with EBUSY.
This could be resolved by not opening any of the devices
exclusively, which is what Illumos does, but the additional
protection offered by exclusive opens is desirable. It cleanly
prevents you from accidentally adding an in-use non-ZFS device
to your pool.
To fix this we very slightly relaxed the usage of O_EXCL in
the following ways.
1) Functions which open the device but only read had the
O_EXCL flag removed and were updated to use O_RDONLY.
2) A common holder was added to the vdev disk code. This
allow the ZFS code to internally open the device multiple
times but non-ZFS callers may not.
3) An exception was added to make_disks() for hot spare when
creating partition tables. For hot spare devices which
are already opened exclusively we skip creating the partition
table because this must already have been done when the disk
was originally added as a hot spare.
Additional minor changes include fixing check_in_use() to use
a partition instead of a slice suffix. And is_spare() was moved
above make_disks() to avoid adding a forward reference.

As described by the comment and enforced the by assertion the
v->vdev_wholedisk will never be -1. The wholedisk handling
is performed by the user space utilities. To prevent confusion
this dead code is being removed.

When vdev_disk.c was implemented for Linux we failed to handle the
reopen case. According to the vdev_reopen() comment leaf vdevs should
not be closed or opened when v->vdev_reopening is set. Under Linux
we would always close and open the device.
This issue was only noticed when a 'zpool scrub' command was run while
the leaf vdev device names in /dev/disk/by-vdev were missing. The
scrub command calls vdev_reopen() which caused the vdevs to be closed
but they couldn't be reopened due to the missing links. The result
was that all the vdevs were marked unavailable and the pool was
halted due to failmode=wait.
This patch adds the missing functionality in a similiar fashion to
to the Illumos code.

To determine whether the kernel is capable of handling empty barrier
BIOs, we check for the presence of the bio_empty_barrier() macro,
which was introduced in 2.6.24. If this macro is defined, then we can
flush disk vdevs; if it isn't, then flushing is disabled.
Unfortunately, the bio_empty_barrier() macro was removed in 2.6.37,
even though the kernel is still capable of handling empty barrier BIOs.
As a result, flushing is effectively disabled on kernels >= 2.6.37,
meaning that starting from this kernel version, zfs doesn't use
barriers to guarantee on-disk data consistency. This is quite bad and
can lead to potential data corruption on power failures.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the configure check for
bio_empty_barrier(), as we don't support kernels <= 2.6.24 anymore.
Thanks to Richard Kojedzinszky for catching this nasty bug.

The zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option was introduced
by commit 0c5493d470 to resolve a
memory miscalculation which could result in the txg_sync thread
spinning.
When this was first introduced the default behavior was left
unchanged until enough real world usage confirmed there were no
unexpected issues. We've now reached that point. Linux's
direct reclaim is working as expected so we're enabling this
behavior by default.
This helps pave the way to retire the spl_kmem_availrmem()
functionality in the SPL layer. This was the only caller.

Issue #938
A couple of assertions in spa.c were designed to prevent the use of
invalid pool versions. They were written under the assumption
that all valid pools are less than SPA_VERSION. Since feature flags
jumped from 28 to 5000, any numbers in the range 28 to 5000
non-inclusive will fail to trigger them. We switch to the new
SPA_VERSION_IS_SUPPORTED macro to correct this.

It turns out that the Linux VFS doesn't strictly handle all cases
where a component path name exceeds MAXNAMELEN. It does however
appear to correctly handle MAXPATHLEN for us.
The right way to handle this appears to be to add an explicit
check to the zpl_lookup() function. Several in-tree filesystems
handle this case the same way.

Two more locations where KM_SLEEP was used in a call which must
use KM_PUSHPAGE were found while using the zpool upgrade command.

Explicitly case this value to an unsigned long long for 32-bit
systems to inform the compiler that a long type should not be
used. Otherwise we get the following compiler error:
dmu_send.c:376: error: integer constant is too large for
‘long’ type

The way in which virtual box ab(uses) memory can throw off the
free memory calculation in arc_memory_throttle(). The result is
the txg_sync thread will effectively spin waiting for memory to
be released even though there's lots of memory on the system.
To handle this case I'm adding a zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable
module option largely for virtual box users. Setting this option
disables free memory checks which allows the txg_sync thread to
make progress.
By default this option is disabled to preserve the current
behavior. However, because Linux supports direct memory reclaim
it's doubtful throttling due to perceived memory pressure is ever
a good idea. We should enable this option by default once we've
done enough real world testing to convince ourselve there aren't
any unexpected side effects.
