The DMU zfetch code organizes streams with lists not avl trees. A
avl_node_t was mistakenly used for a list_node_t in the zstream_t
type. This is incorrect (but harmless) and when unnoticed because:
1) The list functions explicitly cast the value preventing a warning,
2) sizeof(avl_node_t) >= sizeof(list_node_t) so no overrun occurs, and
3) The calculated offset is the same regardless of the type.

4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work
1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync
read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler
issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class
has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator
algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of
concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve
good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write
throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced
below) for more details.
2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and
txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays
when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of
dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When
there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be
delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait"
that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several
seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is
decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end
of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o
scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the
block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for
more details.
This diff has several other effects, including:
* the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed;
use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead.
* the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the
time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer
an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data.
Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is
always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal.
Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this.
* zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression,
checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks
to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is
rounded up).
--matt
APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler
The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem
with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of
i/os can see very long delays.
For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async
writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this
situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds
(typically 3 seconds).
If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must
service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we
enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in
the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because
there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we
must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes)
before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous
i/os (reads or ZIL writes).
Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
- zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because
object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at
allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved
from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two
new fields.
- vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue
(vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from.
This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used
for the same purpose.
- vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine
the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer
exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of
the five I/O classes described above.
- The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by
sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread
(curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in
Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called
zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other
downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic.
- These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added
to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page.

zfs_delay_scale
The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in
Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but
means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures.
The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most
likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM
sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to
2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes
it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable
zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this
solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a
reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected
systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults.
- Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration.
- Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take
effect.
- Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file
with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts
how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty
data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how
many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which
we expect to never happen).
- The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in
zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate().
- In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the
heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large
structures on the stack.

Closes#1913
Currently, using msync() results in the following code path:
sys_msync -> zpl_fsync -> filemap_write_and_wait_range -> zpl_writepages -> write_cache_pages -> zpl_putpage
In such a code path, zil_commit() is called as part of zpl_putpage().
This means that for each page, the write is handed to the DMU, the ZIL
is committed, and only then do we move on to the next page. As one might
imagine, this results in atrocious performance where there is a large
number of pages to write: instead of committing a batch of N writes,
we do N commits containing one page each. In some extreme cases this
can result in msync() being ~700 times slower than it should be, as well
as very inefficient use of ZIL resources.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the requested writes
are batched and then committed only once. Unfortunately, the
implementation is somewhat non-trivial because there is no way to run
write_cache_pages in SYNC mode (so that we get all pages) without
making it wait on the writeback tag for each page.
The solution implemented here is composed of two parts:
- I added a new callback system to the ZIL, which allows the caller to
be notified when its ITX gets written to stable storage. One nice
thing is that the callback is called not only in zil_commit() but
in zil_sync() as well, which means that the caller doesn't have to
care whether the write ended up in the ZIL or the DMU: it will get
notified as soon as it's safe, period. This is an improvement over
dmu_tx_callback_register() that was used previously, which only
supports DMU writes. The rationale for this change is to allow
zpl_putpage() to be notified when a ZIL commit is completed without
having to block on zil_commit() itself.
- zpl_writepages() now calls write_cache_pages in non-SYNC mode, which
will prevent (1) write_cache_pages from blocking, and (2) zpl_putpage
from issuing ZIL commits. zpl_writepages() will issue the commit
itself instead of relying on zpl_putpage() to do it, thus nicely
batching the writes. Note, however, that we still have to call
write_cache_pages() again in SYNC mode because there is an edge case
documented in the implementation of write_cache_pages() whereas it
will not give us all dirty pages when running in non-SYNC mode. Thus
we need to run it at least once in SYNC mode to make sure we honor
persistency guarantees. This only happens when the pages are
modified at the same time msync() is running, which should be rare.
In most cases there won't be any additional pages and this second
call will do nothing.
Note that this change also fixes a bug related to #907 whereas calling
msync() on pages that were already handed over to the DMU in a previous
writepages() call would make msync() block until the next TXG sync
instead of returning as soon as the ZIL commit is complete. The new
callback system fixes that problem.

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

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

Issue #1775
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).

This change introduces zpool_get_prop_literal. It's an expanded version
of zpool_get_prop taking one additional boolean parameter. With this
parameter set to B_FALSE it will behave identically to zpool_get_prop.
Setting it to B_TRUE will return full precision numbers for the
following properties:
ZPOOL_PROP_SIZE
ZPOOL_PROP_ALLOCATED
ZPOOL_PROP_FREE
ZPOOL_PROP_FREEING
ZPOOL_PROP_EXPANDSZ
ZPOOL_PROP_ASHIFT
Also introduced is a wrapper function for zpool_get_prop making it

Issue #1813
Currently there is no mechanism to inspect which dbufs are being
cached by the system. There are some coarse counters in arcstats
by they only give a rough idea of what's being cached. This patch
aims to improve the current situation by adding a new dbufs kstat.
When read this new kstat will walk all cached dbufs linked in to
the dbuf_hash. For each dbuf it will dump detailed information
about the buffer. It will also dump additional information about
the referenced arc buffer and its related dnode. This provides a
more complete view in to exactly what is being cached.
With this generic infrastructure in place utilities can be written
to post-process the data to understand exactly how the caching is
working. For example, the data could be processed to show a list
of all cached dnodes and how much space they're consuming. Or a
similar list could be generated based on dnode type. Many other
ways to interpret the data exist based on what kinds of questions
you're trying to answer.

This change is an attempt to add visibility in to how txgs are being
formed on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to txg. These entries are then exported through the kstat
interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each txg, the following information is exported:
* Unique txg number (uint64_t)
* The time the txd was born (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The current txg state ((O)pen/(Q)uiescing/(S)yncing/(C)ommitted)
* The number of reserved bytes for the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes read during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes written during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of read operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of write operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The time the txg was closed (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was quiesced (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was synced (hrtime_t)
Note that while the raw kstat now stores relative hrtimes for the
open, quiesce, and sync times. Those relative times are used to
calculate how long each state took and these deltas and printed by
output handlers.

This change is an attempt to add visibility into the arc_read calls
occurring on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to a call to arc_read. These entries are then exported
through the kstat interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each arc_read call, the following information is exported:
* A unique identifier (uint64_t)
* The time the entry was added to the list (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The objset ID (uint64_t)
* The object number (uint64_t)
* The indirection level (uint64_t)
* The block ID (uint64_t)
* The name of the function originating the arc_read call (char[24])
* The arc_flags from the arc_read call (uint32_t)
* The PID of the reading thread (pid_t)
* The command or name of thread originating read (char[16])
From this exported information one can see, in real time, exactly what
is being read, what function is generating the read, and whether or not
the read was found to be already cached.
There is still some work to be done, but this should serve as a good
starting point.
Specifically, dbuf_read's are not accounted for in the currently
exported information. Thus, a follow up patch should probably be added
to export these calls that never call into arc_read (they only hit the
dbuf hash table). In addition, it might be nice to create a utility
similar to "arcstat.py" to digest the exported information and display
it in a more readable format. Or perhaps, log the information and allow
for it to be "replayed" at a later time.

When creating a new pool, or adding/replacing a disk in an existing
pool, partition tables will be automatically created on the devices.
Under normal circumstances it will take less than a second for udev
to create the expected device files under /dev/. However, it has
been observed that if the system is doing heavy IO concurrently udev
may take far longer. If you also throw in some cheap dodgy hardware
it may take even longer.
To prevent zpool commands from failing due to this the default wait
time for udev is being increased to 30 seconds. This will have no
impact on normal usage, the increase timeout should only be noticed
if your udev rules are incorrectly configured.

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.
Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.
To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.
Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.
Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
The original changeset mostly deals with mdb ::zio dcmd.
However, in order to provide the requested functionality
it modifies vdev and zio structures to keep the timing data
in nanoseconds instead of ticks. It is these changes that
are ported over in the commit in hand.
One visible change of this commit is that the default value
of 'zfs_vdev_time_shift' tunable is changed:
zfs_vdev_time_shift = 6
to
zfs_vdev_time_shift = 29
The original value of 6 was inherited from OpenSolaris and
was subotimal - since it shifted the raw tick value - it
didn't compensate for different tick frequencies on Linux and
OpenSolaris. The former has HZ=1000, while the latter HZ=100.
(Which itself led to other interesting performance anomalies
under non-trivial load. The deadline scheduler delays the IO
according to its priority - the lower priority the further
the deadline is set. The delay is measured in units of
"shifted ticks". Since the HZ value was 10 times higher,
the delay units were 10 times shorter. Thus really low
priority IO like resilver (delay is 10 units) and scrub
(delay is 20 units) were scheduled much sooner than intended.
The overall effect is that resilver and scrub IO consumed
more bandwidth at the expense of the other IO.)
Now that the bookkeeping is done is nanoseconds the shift
behaves correctly for any tick frequency (HZ).

Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to

virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not

The non-blocking allocation handlers in nvlist_alloc() would be

While these failures were unlikely it could lead to assertions
because KM_PUSHPAGE allocations in particular are guaranteed to
succeed or block. They must never fail.
Since the existing API does not allow us to pass allocation

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
stack space to work with. In fact, certain layered configurations
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 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 PaX team modified the kernel's modpost to report writeable function

The remaining 3 writeable function pointers cannot be addressed by this

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.

It's doubtful many people were impacted by this but commit 6c28567
accidentally broke ZFS builds for 2.6.26 and earlier kernels. This
commit depends on the lookup_bdev() function which exists in 2.6.26
but wasn't exported until 2.6.27.
The availability of the function isn't critical so a wrapper is
introduced which returns ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUP) when the function isn't
defined. This will have the effect of causing zvol_is_zvol() to
always fail for 2.6.26 kernels. This in turn means vdevs will
always get opened concurrently which is good for normal usage.
This will only become an issue if your using a zvol as a vdev in
another pool. In which case you really should be using a newer
kernel anyway.

Rolling back a mounted filesystem with open file handles and
cached dentries+inodes never worked properly in ZoL. The
major issue was that Linux provides no easy mechanism for
modules to invalidate the inode cache for a file system.
Because of this it was possible that an inode from the previous
filesystem would not get properly dropped from the cache during
rolling back. Then a new inode with the same inode number would
be create and collide with the existing cached inode. Ideally
this would trigger an VERIFY() but in practice the error wasn't
handled and it would just NULL reference.
Luckily, this issue can be resolved by sprucing up the existing
Solaris zfs_rezget() functionality for the Linux VFS.
The way it works now is that when a file system is rolled back
all the cached inodes will be traversed and refetched from disk.
If a version of the cached inode exists on disk the in-core
copy will be updated accordingly. If there is no match for that
object on disk it will be unhashed from the inode cache and
marked as stale.
This will effectively make the inode unfindable for lookups
allowing the inode number to be immediately recycled. The inode
will then only be accessible from the cached dentries. Subsequent
dentry lookups which reference a stale inode will result in the
dentry being invalidated. Once invalidated the dentry will drop
its reference on the inode allowing it to be safely pruned from
the cache.
Special care is taken for negative dentries since they do not
reference any inode. These dentires will be invalidate based
on when they were added to the dentry cache. Entries added
before the last rollback will be invalidate to prevent them
from masking real files in the dataset.
Two nice side effects of this fix are:
* Removes the dependency on spl_invalidate_inodes(), it can now
be safely removed from the SPL when we choose to do so.
* zfs_znode_alloc() no longer requires a dentry to be passed.
This effectively reverts this portition of the code to its
upstream counterpart. The dentry is not instantiated more
correctly in the Linux ZPL layer.

Lookups in the snapshot control directory for an existing snapshot
fail with ENOENT if an earlier lookup failed before the snapshot was
created. This is because the earlier lookup causes a negative dentry
to be cached which is never invalidated.
The bug can be reproduced as follows (the second ls should succeed):
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
$ zfs snap tank@s
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
To remedy this, always invalidate cached dentries in the snapshot
control directory. Since these entries never exist on disk there is
no significant performance penalty for the extra lookups.

original performance issue reappears on Linux we can revisit

This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is

ctime. This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

Unlike normal file or directory znodes, an xattr znode is
guaranteed to only have a single parent. Therefore, we can
take a refernce on that parent if it is provided at create
time and cache it. Additionally, we take care to cache it
on any subsequent zfs_zaccess() where the parent is provided
as an optimization.
This allows us to avoid needing to do a zfs_zget() when
setting up the SELinux security xattr in the create path.
This is critical because a hash lookup on the directory
will deadlock since it is locked.
The zpl_xattr_security_init() call has also been moved up
to the zpl layer to ensure TXs to create the required
xattrs are performed after the create TX. Otherwise we
run the risk of deadlocking on the open create TX.
Ideally the security xattr should be fully constructed
before the new inode is unlocked. However, doing so would
require far more extensive changes to ZFS.
This change may also have the benefitial side effect of
ensuring xattr directory znodes are evicted from the cache
before normal file or directory znodes due to the extra
reference.

Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
it's not uncommon for disks to misreport this value. For this
reason you may still need to manually set your ashift with:
zpool create -o ashift=12 ...
The solution to this in the upstream Illumos source was to add

The 'zpool replace' command would fail when given a short name
because unlike on other platforms the short name cannot be
deterministically expanded to a single path. Multiple path
prefixes must be checked and in addition the partition suffix
for whole disks is determined by the prefix.
To handle this complexity a zfs_strcmp_pathname() function was
added which takes either a short or fully qualified device name.
Short names will be expanded using the prefixes in the default
import search path, or the ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable
if it's defined. All posible expansions are then compared against
the comparison path. Care is taken to strip redundant slashes to
ensure legitimate matches are not missed.
In the context of this work the existing zfs_resolve_shortname()
function was extended to consider the ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH when set.
The zfs_append_partition() interface was also simplified to take
only a single buffer.

there is some minimal cleanup which removes Illumos specific code.
This was done to improve readability but the basic flow and intent

Currently, ZIL blocks are spread over vdevs using hint block pointers
managed by the ZIL commit code and passed to metaslab_alloc(). Spreading
log blocks accross vdevs is important for performance: indeed, using
mutliple disks in parallel decreases the ZIL commit latency, which is
the main performance metric for synchronous writes. However, the current
implementation suffers from the following issues:
1) It would be best if the ZIL module was not aware of such low-level
details. They should be handled by the ZIO and metaslab modules;
2) Because the hint block pointer is managed per log, simultaneous
commits from multiple logs might use the same vdevs at the same time,
which is inefficient;
3) Because dmu_write() does not honor the block pointer hint, indirect
writes are not spread.
The naive solution of rotating the metaslab rotor each time a block is
allocated for the ZIL or dmu_sync() doesn't work in practice because the
first ZIL block to be written is actually allocated during the previous
commit. Consequently, when metaslab_alloc() decides the vdev for this
block, it will do so while a bunch of other allocations are happening at
the same time (from dmu_sync() and other ZILs). This means the vdev for
this block is chosen more or less at random. When the next commit
happens, there is a high chance (especially when the number of blocks
per commit is slightly less than the number of the disks) that one disk
will have to write two blocks (with a potential seek) while other disks
are sitting idle, which defeats spreading and increases the commit
latency.
This commit introduces a new concept in the metaslab allocator:
fastwrites. Basically, each top-level vdev maintains a counter
indicating the number of synchronous writes (from dmu_sync() and the
ZIL) which have been allocated but not yet completed. When the metaslab
is called with the FASTWRITE flag, it will choose the vdev with the
least amount of pending synchronous writes. If there are multiple vdevs
with the same value, the first matching vdev (starting from the rotor)
is used. Once metaslab_alloc() has decided which vdev the block is
allocated to, it updates the fastwrite counter for this vdev.
The rationale goes like this: when an allocation is done with
FASTWRITE, it "reserves" the vdev until the data is written. Until then,
all future allocations will naturally avoid this vdev, even after a full
rotation of the rotor. As a result, pending synchronous writes at a
given point in time will be nicely spread over all vdevs. This contrasts
with the previous algorithm, which is based on the implicit assumption
that blocks are written instantaneously after they're allocated.
metaslab_fastwrite_mark() and metaslab_fastwrite_unmark() are used to
manually increase or decrease fastwrite counters, respectively. They
should be used with caution, as there is no per-BP tracking of fastwrite
information, so leaks and "double-unmarks" are possible. There is,
however, an assert in the vdev teardown code which will fire if the
fastwrite counters are not zero when the pool is exported or the vdev
removed. Note that as stated above, marking is also done implictly by
metaslab_alloc().
ZIO also got a new FASTWRITE flag; when it is used, ZIO will pass it to
the metaslab when allocating (assuming ZIO does the allocation, which is
only true in the case of dmu_sync). This flag will also trigger an
unmark when zio_done() fires.
A side-effect of the new algorithm is that when a ZIL stops being used,
its last block can stay in the pending state (allocated but not yet
written) for a long time, polluting the fastwrite counters. To avoid
that, I've implemented a somewhat crude but working solution which
unmarks these pending blocks in zil_sync(), thus guaranteeing that
linguering fastwrites will get pruned at each sync event.
The best performance improvements are observed with pools using a large
number of top-level vdevs and heavy synchronous write workflows
(especially indirect writes and concurrent writes from multiple ZILs).
Real-life testing shows a 200% to 300% performance increase with
indirect writes and various commit sizes.

Issue #1013
Use .mkdir instead of .create in 3.3 compatibility check. Linux 3.6
modifies inode_operations->create's function prototype. This causes
an autotools Linux 3.3. compatibility check for a function prototype
change in create, mkdir and mknode to fail. Since mkdir and mknode
are unchanged, we modify the check to examine it instead.

Issue #873
As of Linux commit 9249e17fe094d853d1ef7475dd559a2cc7e23d42 the
mount flags are now passed to sget() so they can be used when
initializing a new superblock.
ZFS never uses sget() in this fashion so we can simply pass a
zero and add a zpl_sget() compatibility wrapper.

Issue #873
Allow the zfs_txg_timeout variable to be dynamically tuned at run
time. By pulling it down out of the variable declaration it will
be evaluted each time through the loop.
The zfs_txg_timeout variable is now declared extern in a the common
sys/txg.h header rather than locally in dsl_scan.c. This prevents
potential type mismatches if the global variable needs to be used
elsewhere.
Move the module_param() code in to the same source file where
zfs_txg_timeout is declared. This is the most logical location.
