I knew I'd forget something in the first version of this script.
It turns out what I forgot was partition handling, this commit
ensures duplicate entries are not created in the zdev.conf file.
This previously could occur due to partition entires in the by-path
directory. This is not needed the existing udev rules will ensure
the partitions are created in /dev/disk/zpool/.
The zpool_layout command is designed to automatically scan the
udev /dev/disk/by-path directory and generate a /etc/zfs/zdev.conf
file. It does this by enumerating the disks attached to the
specified buses/ports and sequentially mapping them to short
<channel><rank> names in /dev/disk/zpool/. This tool should only
be run after all the available disks have been discovered. And
the resulting config file does not need to be regenerated unless
your backend configuration changes.
The upstream commit cb code had a few bugs:
1) The arguments of the list_move_tail() call in txg_dispatch_callbacks()
were reversed by mistake. This caused the commit callbacks to not be
called at all.
2) ztest had a bug in ztest_dmu_commit_callbacks() where "error" was not
initialized correctly. This seems to have caused the test to always take
the simulated error code path, which made ztest unable to detect whether
commit cbs were being called for transactions that successfuly complete.
3) ztest had another bug in ztest_dmu_commit_callbacks() where the commit
cb threshold was not being compared correctly.
4) The commit cb taskq was using 'max_ncpus * 2' as the maxalloc argument
of taskq_create(), which could have caused unnecessary delays in the txg
sync thread.

A number of ztest functions create one or more 312B ztest_od_t data
structures. To conserve stack usage, this commit moves all of these data
structures to the heap. However, I am still seeing ztest segfaults due
to heavy stack usage of the dbuf_findbp() -> dbuf_hold_impl() recursion.

The stack check implementation in older versions of gcc has
a fairly low default limit on STACK_CHECK_MAX_FRAME_SIZE of
roughly 4096. This results in numerous warning when it is
used with code which was designed to run in user space and
thus may be relatively stack heavy. The avoid these warnings,
which are fatal with -Werror, this patch targets the use of
-fstack-check to libraries which are compiled in both user
space and kernel space. The only utility which uses this
flag is ztest which is designed to simulate running in the
kernel and must meet the -fstack-check requirements. All
other user space utilities do not use -fstack-check.
warning: frame size too large for reliable stack checking
warning: try reducing the number of local variables
Noticed under Ubuntu kernel builds, there were two instances where
printf() was not called with a "%s" and instread directly printed
the string. This can potentially result in a crash and is considered
bad form by gcc. It has been fixed by adding the needed "%s".
This check is part of ztest and a memory failure here is unlikely.
However, if this does occur simply exiting is an perfectly valid
way to handle the issue and it resulves the compiler warning.
ztest.c:5522: error: ignoring return value of 'asprintf',
declared with attribute warn_unused_result
It turns out the gcc option -Wframe-larger-than=<size> which I recently
added to the build system is not supported in older versions of gcc.
Since this is just a flag to ensure I keep stack usage under control
I've added a configure check to detect if gcc supports it. If it's
available we use it in the proper places, if it's not we don't.
While ztest does run in user space we run it with the same stack
restrictions it would have in kernel space. This ensures that any
stack related issues which would be hit in the kernel can be caught
and debugged in user space instead.
This patch is a first pass to limit the stack usage of every ztest
function to 1024 bytes. Subsequent updates can further reduce this
For all module/library functions ensure so stack frame exceeds 1024
bytes. Ideally this should be set lower to say 512 bytes but there
are still numerous functions which exceed even this limit. For now
this is set to 1024 to ensure we catch the worst offenders.
Additionally, set the limit for ztest to 1024 bytes since the idea
here is to catch stack issues in user space before we find them by
overrunning a kernel stack. This should also be reduced to 512
bytes as soon as all the trouble makes are fixed.
Finally, add -fstack-check to gcc build options when --enable-debug
is specified at configure time. This ensures that each page on the
stack will be touched and we will generate a segfault on stack
overflow.
Over time we can gradually fix the following functions:
536 zfs:dsl_deadlist_regenerate
536 zfs:dsl_load_sets
536 zfs:zil_parse
544 zfs:zfs_ioc_recv
552 zfs:dsl_deadlist_insert_bpobj
552 zfs:vdev_dtl_sync
584 zfs:copy_create_perms
608 zfs:ddt_class_contains
608 zfs:ddt_prefetch
608 zfs:__dprintf
616 zfs:ddt_lookup
648 zfs:dsl_scan_ddt
696 zfs:dsl_deadlist_merge
736 zfs:ddt_zap_walk
744 zfs:dsl_prop_get_all_impl
872 zfs:dnode_evict_dbufs
There are 3 fixes in thie commit. First, update ztest_run() to store
the thread id and not the address of the kthread_t. This will be freed
on thread exit and is not safe to use. This is pretty close to how
things were done in the original ztest code before I got there.
Second, for extra paranoia update thread_exit() to return a special
TS_MAGIC value via pthread_exit(). This value is then verified in
pthread_join() to ensure the thread exited cleanly. This can be
done cleanly because the kthread doesn't provide a return code
mechanism we need to worry about.
Third, replace the ztest deadman thread with a signal handler. We
cannot use the previous approach because the correct behavior for
pthreads is to wait for all threads to exit before terminating the
process. Since the deadman thread won't call exit by design we
end up hanging in kernel_exit(). To avoid this we just setup a
SIGALRM signal handle and register a deadman alarm. IMHO this
is simpler and cleaner anyway.
Accidentally dropped the zeroing of this structure in the
gcc-missing-braces topic branch which was causing a fall positive
space leak in ztest. Ensure the structure is zero'ed before use.
This is a portability change which removes the dependence of the Solaris
thread library. All locations where Solaris thread API was used before
have been replaced with equivilant Solaris kernel style thread calls.
In user space the kernel style threading API is implemented in term of
the portable pthreads library. This includes all threads, mutexs,
condition variables, reader/writer locks, and taskqs.
Almost exclusively this patch handled the addition of another char
array to the zfs_cmd_t structure. Unfortunately c90 doesn't allow
zero filling the entire struct with the '= { 0 };' shorthand.
