Steven Johnson ca072ee70f splat linux:shrinker: Fix race condition
Ensure the test thread blocks until the shrinker has completed its
work.  This is done by putting the test thread to sleep and waking
it each time the shrinker callback runs.  Once the shrinker size
drops to zero or we time out the test is allowed to proceed.

Steven Johnson 9b88fa165f splat taskq:front: Fix race
The taskq:front test has a race condition where task 4 and 8
race to complete, due to an incorrectly calculated set of delay
"factors" (T). If task 4 wins and actually finishes first, the
verification of the order of completion will fail.

The delays calculated to order task completion do not take into
account the terminal line in the table, and so are all off by
a factor of 1. This causes all the tasks in all queues to finish
sooner than expected and the accumulated error is the root cause
of tasks 4 and 8 racing to complete first. Before the change the
"actual" table looks like I commented in #130.

I changed:

* the table in the comment to correctly reflect the test and the
  factor timings needed.
* the individual task delay factors of T so that ONLY 1 task will
  every 2T. (on average)
* 1T was reduced from 100ms to 50ms. This halves the duration of
  the test and makes any remaining raciness more likely to cause
  failures, but it did not cause the test to fail.
* simplified the delay factor logic by using a table look-up
  instead of a switch.
* Added a "task started" message so that with -v it is possible
  to see the order tasks are started.
* Moved the "task completed" message inside the spinlock so that
  with -v the message truly reflects the absolute order of
  completion as guaranteed by the spinlock.

Brian Behlendorf 043f9b5724 Disable FS reclaim when allocating new slabs
Allowing the spl_cache_grow_work() function to reclaim inodes
allows for two unlikely deadlocks.  Therefore, we clear __GFP_FS
for these allocations.  The two deadlocks are:

* While holding the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj1) lock a function
  calls kmem_cache_alloc() which happens to need to allocate a
  new slab.  To allocate the new slab we enter FS level reclaim
  and attempt to evict several inodes.  To evict these inodes we
  need to take the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj2) lock and it
  just happens that obj1 and obj2 use the same hashed lock.

* Similar to the first case however instead of getting blocked
  on the hash lock we block in txg_wait_open() which is waiting
  for the next txg which isn't coming because the txg_sync
  thread is blocked in kmem_cache_alloc().

Note this isn't a 100% fix because vmalloc() won't strictly
honor __GFP_FS.  However, it practice this is sufficient because
several very unlikely things must all occur concurrently.

Brian Behlendorf dc1b30224f Never spin in kmem_cache_alloc()
If we are reaping from the cache and a concurrent allocation
occurs then the caller must block until the reaping is complete.
This is signaled by the clearing of the KMC_BIT_REAPING bit.

Otherwise the caller will be in a tight loop which takes and
releases the skc->skc_cache lock.  When there are multiple
concurrent callers the system will thrash on the lock and
appear to lock up.

Because only virtual slabs may have emergency objects and these

Brian Behlendorf ed3163484d Track emergency object in rbtree
In the initial implementation emergency objects were tracked on a
per-cache list.  The assumption was that under normal operation we
would never allocate more than a handful of these objects.  So the
cost of walking the list during free was expected to be negligible.

However real world usage has shown that emergency objects tend to
be allocated in batches.  A deadlock will be detected and several
thousand emergency objects will be allocated before the original
blocked slab allocation can complete.

Therefore the original list has been replaced by a red black tree
which is sorted by the memory address of each allocated object.
This bounds the worst case insertion and removal time to O(log n)
which minimize contention on the assoicated spin lock.

Brian Behlendorf 165f13c33a Improved vmem cached deadlock detection
The entire goal of performing the slab allocations asynchronously
is to be able to detect when a vmalloc() deadlocks.  In this case,
and only this case, do we want to start allocating emergency objects.
The trick here is to minimize false positives because the overhead
of tracking emergency objects is far higher than normal slab objects.

With that goal in mind the code was reworked to be less sensitive
to slow allocations by increasing the wait time.  Once a cache is
is marked deadlocked all subsequent allocations which can not be
satisfied with existing cache objects will immediately allocate new
emergency objects.  This behavior persists until the asynchronous
allocation completes and clears the deadlocked flag.

The result of these tweaks is that far fewer emergency objects
get created which is important because this minimizes the cost of
releasing them latter in kmem_cache_free().

Move the kstat ks_update() callback under the ks_lock.  This
enables dynamically sized kstats without modification to the
kstat API.

  * Create a kstat with the KSTAT_FLAG_VIRTUAL flag.
  * Register a ->ks_update() callback which does:
    o Frees any existing ks_data buffer.
    o Set ks_data_size to the kstat array size.
    o Set ks_data to an allocated buffer of size ks_data_size
    o Populate the array of buffers with the required data.

The buffer allocated in the ks_update() callback is guaranteed
to remain allocated and valid while the proc sequence handler
iterates over the buffer.  The lock will not be dropped until
kstat_seq_stop() function is run making it safe for concurrent
access.  To allow the ks_update() callback to perform memory
allocations the lock was changed to a mutex.

Commit torvalds/linux@b8318b0 moved the __clear_close_on_exec()

Now as it turns out we only used this function to tear down

compatibilty code to handle this we just remove the test case.
This also allows us to drop three existing autoconf tests.

functions but historically they have never been a problem.
And if we feel we absolutely need this test coverage I'm

Yuxuan Shui bcb15891ab Linux 3.6 compat, kern_path_locked() added
The kern_path_parent() function was removed from Linux 3.6 because
it was observed that all the callers just want the parent dentry.
The simpler kern_path_locked() function replaces kern_path_parent()
and does the lookup while holding the ->i_mutex lock.

This is good news for the vn implementation because it removes the
need for us to handle the locking.  However, it makes it harder to
implement a single readable vn_remove()/vn_rename() function which
is usually what we prefer.

Therefore, we implement a new version of vn_remove()/vn_rename()
for Linux 3.6 and newer kernels.  This allows us to leave the
existing working implementation untouched, and to add a simpler
version for newer kernels.

Long term I would very much like to see all of the vn code removed
since what this code enabled is generally frowned upon in the kernel.
But that can't happen util we either abondon the zpool.cache file
or implement alternate infrastructure to update is correctly in
user space.

Etienne Dechamps bbdc6ae495 Add interface for file hole punching.
This adds an interface to "punch holes" (deallocate space) in VFS
files. The interface is identical to the Solaris VOP_SPACE interface.
This interface is necessary for TRIM support on file vdevs.

This is implemented using Linux fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), which
was introduced in 2.6.38. For a brief time before 2.6.38 this was done
using the truncate_range inode operation, which was quickly deprecated.
This patch only supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.

This adds support for the truncate_range() inode operation to
VOP_SPACE() for file hole punching. This API is deprecated and removed
in 3.5, so it's only useful for old kernels.

On tmpfs, the truncate_range() inode operation translates to
shmem_truncate_range(). Unfortunately, this function expects the end
offset to be inclusive and aligned to the end of a page. If it is not,
the kernel will stop with a BUG_ON().

This patch fixes the issue by adapting to the constraints set forth by
shmem_truncate_range().

Brian Behlendorf 9b51f21841 Remove TQ_SLEEP -> KM_SLEEP mapping
When the taskq code was originally written it seemed like a good
idea to simply map TQ_SLEEP to KM_SLEEP.  Unfortunately, this
assumed that the TQ_* flags would never confict with any of the
Linux GFP_* flags.  When adding the TQ_PUSHPAGE support in commit
cd5ca4b this invariant was accidentally broken.

Therefore to support TQ_PUSHPAGE, which is needed for Linux, and
prevent any further confusion I have removed this direct mapping.
The TQ_SLEEP, TQ_NOSLEEP, and TQ_PUSHPAGE are no longer defined
in terms of their KM_* counterparts.  Instead a simple mapping
function is introduce to convert TQ_* -> KM_* where needed.

Brian Behlendorf efcd0ca32d Enhance SPLAT kmem:slab_overcommit test
After the emergency slab objects were merged I started observing
timeout failures in the kmem:slab_overcommit test.  These were
due to the ineffecient way the slab_overcommit reclaim function
was implemented.  And due to the additional cost of potentially
allocating ten of thousands of emergency objects and tracking
them on a single list.

This patch addresses the first concern by enhansing the test
case to trace all of the allocations objects as a linked list.
This allows for a cleaner version of the reclaim function to
simply release SPLAT_KMEM_OBJ_RECLAIM objects.

Since this touches some common code all the tests which share
these data structions were also updated.  After making these
changes slab_overcommit is reliably passing.  However, there

Brian Behlendorf e2dcc6e2b8 Emergency slab objects
This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with
__vmalloc() based slabs.  The issue is that the Linux kernel does
not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc().  This makes it unsafe
to use in a writeback context.  Unfortunately, this is a use case
ZFS depends on for correct operation.

Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches
are available which resolve the issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that
using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done.
Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate
the Linux VM.

While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is
something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will
likely destabilize the existing code.  This work has been planned
for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the
SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage.

This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously
in the context of a work queue.  This doesn't prevent the posibility
of the worker thread from deadlocking.  However, the caller can now
safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete.

Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the
caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,.  The objects
will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will
proceed as usual.

However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described
above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues
will timeout out.  When this rare situation occurs they will attempt
to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags.
This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the
passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress.

As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the
worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress.
This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete
and normal operation will resume.

These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require
contiguous pages.  However, their use should be rare so the impact
is expected to be minimal.  If that turns out not to be the case in
practice further optimizations are possible.

One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived.
Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when
an object is freed.  Is they accumulate on a system and the list
grows freeing objects will become more expensive.  This could be
handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that
optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch.

Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing
slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality
was implemented.  See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26
for full details.  This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory
fragmentation problems.

The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the
end.  The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency
objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows
the historical worst case.  These value should give us a good idea
of how often these objects are needed.  Based on these values under
real use cases we can tune the default behavior.

Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab
allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address
space lock.   This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for
the system.

Richard Yao 15d0411297 Remove Makefile from non-toplevel .gitignore files

copied. We fix SPL by emulating that behavior.

Prakash Surya 9baf44bc17 Wrap trace_set_debug_header in trace_[get|put]_tcd
To properly support CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled kernels, we must refrain from
using a CPU index when preemption is enabled. As a result, this change
moves the trace_set_debug_header call (which calls smp_processor_id)
within trace_get_tcd and trace_put_tcd (which disable and enable
preemption respectively).

Etienne Dechamps a9f2397ee9 Determine the hostid on demand.
Currently, the SPL tries to determine the hostid at module load. The
hostid is usually determined by running the userland program "hostid"
during module initialization.

Unfortunately, when the module initializes, it may be way too soon to be
able to run any userland programs. This is especially true when the
module is compiled directly inside the kernel (built-in); in that case,
the SPL would try to run hostid when the kernel is still initializing,
which of course is doomed to fail.

This patch fixes the issue by deferring hostid generation until
something actually needs the hostid (that is, when zone_get_hostid() is
called), thus switching to a "on-initialization" model to a "on-demand"
(lazy loading) model. ZFS only needs the hostid when some pool
operations are requested, and this always happens way after the kernel
has finished initialization, thus solving the problem.

Etienne Dechamps c167aadb27 Add script for builtin module building.
This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a
kernel source tree for building SPL as a builtin module. The script
makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source
tree fully independent of the spl source package.

To achieve that, some compilation flags (-include, -I) have been moved
to module/Makefile. This Makefile is only used when compiling external
modules; when compiling builtin modules, a Kbuild file generated by the
configure-builtin script is used instead. This makes sure Makefiles
inside the kernel source tree does not contain references to the spl
source package.

Etienne Dechamps 38b5ff4d07 Fix undefined reference on spl_mutex_spin_max().
Commit 3160d4f56b changed the set of
conditions under which spl_mutex_spin_max would be implemented as a
function by changing an #if in sys/mutex.h. The corresponding
implementation file spl-mutex.c, however, has not been updated to
reflect the change. This results in undefined reference errors on
spl_mutex_spin_max under the following condition:

((!CONFIG_SMP || CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES) && HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER && HAVE_TASK_CURR)

This patch fixes the issue by using the same #if in sys/mutex.h and
spl-mutex.c.

Etienne Dechamps 94aac9c9bc Use MODULE variable in module Makefile like zfs.
In zfs, each module Makefile contains a MODULE variable which contains
the name of the module, and the following declarations reference this
variable.

In spl, there is a MODULES variable which is never used. Rename it to
MODULE and use it like in zfs. This improves consistency between the two
build systems.

Richard Yao 36811b4430 Detect kernels that honor gfp flags passed to vmalloc()
zfsonlinux/spl@2092cf68d8 used
PF_MEMALLOC to workaround a bug in the Linux kernel where
allocations did not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
Unfortunately, PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting
allocations to allocate pages outside of ZONE_NORMAL. This
has been observed to result in the depletion of ZONE_DMA32.

A kernel patch is available in the Gentoo bug tracker for
this issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

This negates any benefit PF_MEMALLOC provides, so we introduce
an autotools check to disable the use of PF_MEMALLOC on
systems with patched kernels.

Richard Yao e0093fea58 Linux 3.4 compat, __clear_close_on_exec replaces FD_CLR
torvalds/linux@1dce27c5aa introduced
__clear_close_on_exec() as a replacement for FD_CLR. Further commits
appear to have removed FD_CLR from the Linux source tree.  This
causes the following failure:

  error: implicit declaration of function '__FD_CLR'
  [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

To correct this we update the code to use the current
__clear_close_on_exec() interface for readability.  Then we introduce
an autotools check to determine if __clear_close_on_exec() is available.
If it isn't then we define some compatibility logic which used the older
FD_CLR() interface.

In the module unload path the vm_file_cache was being destroyed
under a spin lock.  Because this operation might sleep it was
possible, although very very unlikely, that this could result
in a deadlock.

This issue was indentified by using a Linux debug kernel and
has been fixed by moving the kmem_cache_destroy() out from under
the spin lock.  There is no need to lock this operation here.
