Brian Behlendorf 5dc6af0eec Add zio_ddt_free()+ddt_phys_decref() error handling
The assumption in zio_ddt_free() is that ddt_phys_select() must
always find a match.  However, if that fails due to a damaged
DDT or some other reason the code will NULL dereference in
ddt_phys_decref().

While this should never happen it has been observed on various
platforms.  The result is that unless your willing to patch the
ZFS code the pool is inaccessible.  Therefore, we're choosing
to more gracefully handle this case rather than leave it fatal.

Brian Behlendorf f3757573a6 Refresh RPM packaging
Refresh the existing RPM packaging to conform to the 'Fedora
Packaging Guidelines'.  This includes adopting the kmods2
packaging standard which is used fod kmods distributed by
rpmfusion for Fedora/RHEL.

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines
  http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2

While the spec files have been entirely rewritten from a
user perspective the only major changes are:

* The Fedora packages now have a build dependency on the
  rpmfusion repositories.  The generic kmod packages also
  have a new dependency on kmodtool-1.22 but it is bundled
  with the source rpm so no additional packages are needed.

* The kernel binary module packages have been renamed from
  zfs-modules-* to kmod-zfs-* as specificed by kmods2.

* The is now a common kmod-zfs-devel-* package in addition
  to the per-kernel devel packages.  The common package
  contains the development headers while the per-kernel
  package contains kernel specific build products.

Brian Behlendorf 9b2af9a097 Configure --with-spl{-obj} auto-detect cleanup
Because the install location for the spl/zfs-devel headers was
changed we need to refresh the auto-detect code.  Note that
for packaging which already explicitly calls --with-spl{-obj}
nothing has changed.

The updated code is now structured like that in ZFS_AC_KERNEL
and should be cleaner and easier to maintain.  In addition,
it's stricter about detecting a valid source and object
directory.  It requires:

* The source directory contains the file 'spl.release'
* The object directory contains the file 'spl_config.h'
* The following paths will be checked.  Notice the /var/lib/
  and /usr/src paths require that the spl and zfs version be
  matched.  This is done to prevent accidentally mixing releases.

        dnl # 1) /var/lib/dkms/spl/<version>/build
        dnl # 2) /usr/src/spl-<version>/<kernel-version>
        dnl # 3) /usr/src/spl-<version>

Eric Dillmann 0b4d1b5853 Add snapdev=[hidden|visible] dataset property
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'.

Richard Yao b01615d5ac Constify structures containing function pointers
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.

Richard Yao c38367c73f Eliminate runtime function pointer mods in autotools checks
PaX/GrSecurity patched kernels implement a dialect of C that relies on a
GCC plugin for enforcement. A basic idea in this dialect is that
function pointers in structures should not change during runtime.
This causes code that modifies function pointers at runtime to fail to
compile in many instances. The autotools checks rely on whether or
not small test cases compile against a given kernel. Some
autotools checks assume some default case if other cases fail. When one
of these autotools checks tests a PaX/GrSecurity patched kernel by
modifying a function pointer at runtime, the default case will be used.

Early detection of such situations is possible by relying on compiler
warnings, which are compiler errors when --enable-debug is used.
Unfortunately, very few people build ZFS with --enable-debug. The more
common situation is that these issues manifest themselves as runtime
failures in the form of NULL pointer exceptions.

Previous patches that addressed such issues with PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility largely relied on rewriting autotools checks to avoid
runtime function pointer modification or the addition of PaX/GrSecurity
specific checks. This patch takes the previous work to its logical
conclusion by eliminating the use of runtime function pointer
modification. This permits the removal of PaX-specific autotools checks
in favor of ones that work across all supported kernels.

This should resolve issues that were reported to occur with
PaX/GrSecurity-patched Linux 3.7.5 kernels on Gentoo Linux.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457176

We should be able to prevent future regressions in PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility by ensuring that all changes to ZFSOnLinux avoid runtime
function pointer modification. At the same time, this does not solve the
issue of silent failures triggering default cases in the autotools
check, which is what permitted these regressions to become runtime
failures in the first place. This will need to be addressed in a future
patch.

Brian Behlendorf 8128bd89fb Fix hot spares
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.

Brian Behlendorf 0d8103d956 Leaf vdevs should not be reopened
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.

unavailable.  If it imported fine but isn't using the latest features
available in the code, that's not an error.

Etienne Dechamps d9b0ebbe82 Remove the bio_empty_barrier() check.
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.

Etienne Dechamps d75af3c0eb Use -Werror for all kernel configure tests.
As a matter of fact, we're already using -Werror for most tests because
of a bug in kernel-bio-empty-barrier.m4 which sets -Werror without
reverting it afterwards. This meant that all tests which ran after this
one was using -Werror.

This patch simply makes it clear that we're using -Werror and makes
the code more readable and more predictable.

Brian Behlendorf 546c978bbd Enable zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable by default
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.

Brian Behlendorf 73a046cc8c Fix broken RPATH in spec file
Rather then setting _prefix=/ and having to override all the
default install locations.  It's cleaner, and more understandable,
to leave prefix=/usr and only override _sbindir and _libdir.  This
fixes three issues:

* The commands no longer get built with an incorrect rpath for
  the libraries.   This is good because fixing this sort of
  thing is required by the Fedora packaging guidelines.

    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Beware_of_Rpath

* The various AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT, etc files are now correctly
  installed under /usr/share/doc instead of /share/doc.

* _libexecdir is now handled properly for each distribution.
  Fedora/RHEL=/usr/libexec, OpenSUSE/SLES=/usr/lib, Debian=/usr/lib/rpm

Richard Yao 8dca0a9a38 Make spa.c assertions catch unsupported pre-feature flag pool versions
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.

Brian Behlendorf 9878a89d7a Add explicit MAXNAMELEN check
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.
