Brian Behlendorf ba6a24026c Remove ZFC_IOC_*_MINOR ioctl()s
Early versions of ZFS coordinated the creation and destruction
of device minors from userspace.  This was inherently racy and
in late 2009 these ioctl()s were removed leaving everything up
to the kernel.  This significantly simplified the code.

However, we never picked up these changes in ZoL since we'd
already significantly adjusted this code for Linux.  This patch
aims to rectify that by finally removing ZFC_IOC_*_MINOR ioctl()s
and moving all the functionality down in to the kernel.  Since
this cleanup will change the kernel/user ABI it's being done
in the same tag as the previous libzfs_core ABI changes.  This
will minimize, but not eliminate, the disruption to end users.

Once merged ZoL, Illumos, and FreeBSD will basically be back
in sync in regards to handling ZVOLs in the common code.  While
each platform must have its own custom zvol.c implemenation the
interfaces provided are consistent.

NOTES:

1) This patch introduces one subtle change in behavior which
   could not be easily avoided.  Prior to this change callers
   of 'zfs create -V ...' were guaranteed that upon exit the
   /dev/zvol/ block device link would be created or an error
   returned.  That's no longer the case.  The utilities will no
   longer block waiting for the symlink to be created.  Callers
   are now responsible for blocking, this is why a 'udev_wait'
   call was added to the 'label' function in scripts/common.sh.

2) The read-only behavior of a ZVOL now solely depends on if
   the ZVOL_RDONLY bit is set in zv->zv_flags.  The redundant
   policy setting in the gendisk structure was removed.  This
   both simplifies the code and allows us to safely leverage
   set_disk_ro() to issue a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.  See the
   comment in the code for futher details on this.

3) Because __zvol_create_minor() and zvol_alloc() may now be
   called in a sync task they must use KM_PUSHPAGE.

Porting notes:

1. zfs_dbgmsg_print() is only used in userland. Since we do not have
   mdb on Linux, it does not make sense to make it available in the
   kernel. This means that a build failure will occur if any future
   kernel patch depends on it. However, that is unlikely given that
   this functionality was added to support zdb.

2. zfs_dbgmsg_print() is only invoked for -VVV or greater log levels.
   This preserves the existing behavior of minimal noise when running
   with -V, and -VV.

3. In vdev_config_generate() the call to nvlist_alloc() was not
   changed to fnvlist_alloc() because we must pass KM_PUSHPAGE in
   the txg_sync context.

Massimo Maggi 023699cd62 Posix ACL Support
This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems.  Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set.  The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.

By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property.  Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them.  If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.

This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

Porting notes:

WARNING: This patch changes the user/kernel ABI.  That means that
the zfs/zpool utilities built from master are NOT compatible with
the 0.6.2 kernel modules.  Ensure you load the matching kernel
modules from master after updating the utilities.  Otherwise the
zfs/zpool commands will be unable to interact with your pool and
you will see errors similar to the following:

  $ zpool list
  failed to read pool configuration: bad address
  no pools available

  $ zfs list
  no datasets available

Add zvol minor device creation to the new zfs_snapshot_nvl function.

Remove the logging of the "release" operation in
dsl_dataset_user_release_sync().  The logging caused a null dereference
because ds->ds_dir is zeroed in dsl_dataset_destroy_sync() and the
logging functions try to get the ds name via the dsl_dataset_name()
function. I've got no idea why this particular code would have worked
in Illumos.  This code has subsequently been completely reworked in
Illumos commit 3b2aab1 (3464 zfs synctask code needs restructuring).

Squash some "may be used uninitialized" warning/erorrs.

Fix some printf format warnings for %lld and %llu.

Apply a few spa_writeable() changes that were made to Illumos in
illumos/illumos-gate.git@cd1c8b8 as part of the 3112, 3113, 3114 and
3115 fixes.

Add a missing call to fnvlist_free(nvl) in log_internal() that was added
in Illumos to fix issue 3085 but couldn't be ported to ZoL at the time
(zfsonlinux/zfs@9e11c73) because it depended on future work.

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'.

Brian Behlendorf 82a37189aa Implement SA based xattrs
The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden
directory.  In this directory a file name represents the xattr name
and the file contexts are the xattr binary data.  This approach is
very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs.  However,
it also suffers from a significant performance penalty.  Accessing
a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks.

  1) Lookup the dnode object.
  2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object.
  3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory.

To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3
and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk.  When
the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external
block is allocated for them.  In practice most xattrs are small
and this approach works well.

The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean
way to make this optimization.  When the dataset property 'xattr=sa'
is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes.
This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and
up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block.  If additional
xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be
stored using the traditional directory approach.

This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement
when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4
and xfs (see table below).  When multiple xattrs are stored per-file
the performance improvements are even greater because all of the
xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached.

However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port
to maximize compatibility with other implementations.  If you do
enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms
which do not support this feature.

Add a "REFRATIO" property, which is the compression ratio based on
data referenced. For snapshots, this is the same as COMPRESSRATIO,
but for filesystems/volumes, the COMPRESSRATIO is based on the
data "USED" (ie, includes blocks in children, but not blocks
shared with the origin).

This is needed to figure out how much space a filesystem would
use if it were not compressed (ignoring snapshots).

Christian Kohlschütter df30f56639 Add "ashift" property to zpool create
Some disks with internal sectors larger than 512 bytes (e.g., 4k) can
suffer from bad write performance when ashift is not configured
correctly.  This is caused by the disk not reporting its actual sector
size, but a sector size of 512 bytes.  The drive may behave this way
for compatibility reasons.  For example, the WDC WD20EARS disks are
known to exhibit this behavior.

When creating a zpool, ZFS takes that wrong sector size and sets the
"ashift" property accordingly (to 9: 1<<9=512), whereas it should be
set to 12 for 4k sectors (1<<12=4096).

This patch allows an adminstrator to manual specify the known correct
ashift size at 'zpool create' time.  This can significantly improve
performance in certain cases.  However, it will have an impact on your
total pool capacity.  See the updated ashift property description
in the zpool.8 man page for additional details.

Valid values for the ashift property range from 9 to 17 (512B-128KB).
Additionally, you may set the ashift to 0 if you wish to auto-detect
the sector size based on what the disk reports, this is the default
behavior.  The most common ashift values are 9 and 12.

  Example:
  zpool create -o ashift=12 tank raidz2 sda sdb sdc sdd

Fajar A. Nugraha 4c0d8e50b9 Use udev to create /dev/zvol/[dataset_name] links
This commit allows zvols with names longer than 32 characters, which
fixes issue on https://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/issues/#issue/102.

Changes include:
- use /dev/zd* device names for zvol, where * is the device minor
  (include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c).
- add BLKZNAME ioctl to get dataset name from userland
  (include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c, cmd/zvol_id).
- add udev rule to create /dev/zvol/[dataset_name] and the legacy
  /dev/[dataset_name] symlink. For partitions on zvol, it will create
  /dev/zvol/[dataset_name]-part* (etc/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules,
  cmd/zvol_id).

Brian Behlendorf 6283f55ea1 Support custom build directories and move includes
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/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z

------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu     mkdir fedora     mkdir debian     mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu        cd fedora        cd debian        cd rhel6
../configure     ../configure     ../configure     ../configure
make             make             make             make
make check       make check       make check       make check

This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory.  This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
