The registered xattr .list handler was simplified in the 4.5 kernel
to only perform a permission check. Given a dentry for the file it
must return a boolean indicating if the name is visible. This
differs slightly from the previous APIs which also required the
function to copy the name in to the provided list and return its
size. That is now all the responsibility of the caller.
This should be straight forward change to make to ZoL since we've
always required the caller to make the copy. However, this was
slightly complicated by the need to support 3 older APIs. Yes,
between 2.6.32 and 4.5 there are 4 versions of this interface!
Therefore, while the functional change in this patch is small it
includes significant cleanup to make the code understandable and
maintainable. These changes include:
- Improved configure checks for .list, .get, and .set interfaces.
- Interfaces checked from newest to oldest.
- Strict checking for each possible known interface.
- Configure fails when no known interface is available.
- HAVE_*_XATTR_LIST renamed HAVE_XATTR_LIST_* for consistency
with similar iops and fops configure checks.
- POSIX_ACL_XATTR_{DEFAULT|ACCESS} were removed forcing callers to
move to their replacements, XATTR_NAME_POSIX_ACL_{DEFAULT|ACCESS}.
Compatibility wrapper were added for old kernels.
- ZPL_XATTR_LIST_WRAPPER added which behaves the same as the existing
ZPL_XATTR_{GET|SET} WRAPPERs. Only the inode is guaranteed to be
a valid pointer, passing NULL for the 'list' and 'name' variables
is allowed and must be checked for. All .list functions were
updated to use the wrapper to aid readability.
- zpl_xattr_filldir() updated to use the .list function for its
permission check which is consistent with the updated Linux 4.5
interface. If a .list function is registered it should return 0
to indicate a name should be skipped, if there is no registered
function the name will be added.
- Additional documentation from xattr(7) describing the correct
behavior for each namespace was added before the relevant handlers.

While stack size will vary by architecture it has historically defaulted to
8K on x86_64 systems. However, as of Linux 3.15 the default thread stack
size was increased to 16K. These kernels are now the default in most non-
enterprise distributions which means we no longer need to assume 8K stacks.
This patch takes advantage of that fact by appropriately reverting stack
conservation changes which were made to ensure stability. Changes which
may have had a negative impact on performance for certain workloads. This

Commit b39c22b set the READ_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC flags for a bio
based on the ZIO_PRIORITY_* flag passed in. This had the unnoticed
side-effect of making the vdev_disk_io_start() synchronous for
certain I/Os.
This in turn resulted in vdev_disk_io_start() being able to
re-dispatch zio's which would result in a RCU stalls when a disk
was removed from the system. Additionally, this could negatively
impact performance and explains the performance regressions reported
in both #3829 and #3780.
This patch resolves the issue by making the blocking behavior
dependent on a 'wait' flag being passed rather than overloading
the passed bio flags.
Finally, the WRITE_SYNC and READ_SYNC behavior is restricted to
non-rotational devices where there is no benefit to queuing to
aggregate the I/O.

Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.
Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.
Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:
1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.
An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.
Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

Re-factor the .zfs/snapshot auto-mouting code to take in to account
changes made to the upstream kernels. And to lay the groundwork for
enabling access to .zfs snapshots via NFS clients. This patch makes
the following core improvements.
* All actively auto-mounted snapshots are now tracked in two global
trees which are indexed by snapshot name and objset id respectively.
This allows for fast lookups of any auto-mounted snapshot regardless
without needing access to the parent dataset.
* Snapshot entries are added to the tree in zfsctl_snapshot_mount().
However, they are now removed from the tree in the context of the
unmount process. This eliminates the need complicated error logic
in zfsctl_snapshot_unmount() to handle unmount failures.
* References are now taken on the snapshot entries in the tree to
ensure they always remain valid while a task is outstanding.
* The MNT_SHRINKABLE flag is set on the snapshot vfsmount_t right
after the auto-mount succeeds. This allows to kernel to unmount
idle auto-mounted snapshots if needed removing the need for the
zfsctl_unmount_snapshots() function.
* Snapshots in active use will not be automatically unmounted. As
long as at least one dentry is revalidated every zfs_expire_snapshot/2
seconds the auto-unmount expiration timer will be extended.
* Commit torvalds/linux@bafc9b7 caused snapshots auto-mounted by ZFS
to be immediately unmounted when the dentry was revalidated. This
was a consequence of ZFS invaliding all snapdir dentries to ensure that
negative dentries didn't mask new snapshots. This patch modifies the
behavior such that only negative dentries are invalidated. This solves
the issue and may result in a performance improvement.

were the follow_link() and put_link() callbacks.
This patch adds the required checks to configure to detect the

against ironically due to the increased complexity.
It also should be noted that the kernel follow_link() and put_link()
interfaces changes several times after 4.1 and but before 4.2. This
means there is a narrow range of kernel commits which never appear

For kernels which do not implement a per-suberblock shrinker,
those older than Linux 3.1, the shrink_dcache_parent() function
was used to attempt to reclaim dentries. This was found not be
entirely reliable and could lead to performance issues on older
kernels running meta-data heavy workloads.
To address this issue a zfs_sb_prune_aliases() function has been
added to implement this functionality. It relies on traversing
the list of znodes for a filesystem and adding them to a private
list with a reference held. The private list can then be safely
walked outside the z_znodes_lock to prune dentires and drop the
last reference so the inode can be freed.
This provides the same synchronous behavior as the per-filesystem
shrinker and has the advantage of depending on only long standing
interfaces.

* ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP
Set a sleep time before we load the module (used primarily by initrd
scripts to allow for slower media (such as USB devices etc) to be
availible before we load the zfs module).
* ZFS_INITRD_POST_MODPROBE_SLEEP
Set a timed sleep in the initrd to after the load of the zfs module.
* ZFS_INITRD_ADDITIONAL_DATASETS
To allow for mounting additional datasets in the initrd. Primarily used
in initrd scripts to allow for when filesystem needed to boot (such as
/usr, /opt, /var etc) isn't directly under the root dataset.
* ZFS_POOL_EXCEPTIONS
Exclude pools from being imported (in the initrd and/or init scripts).
* ZFS_DKMS_ENABLE_DEBUG, ZFS_DKMS_ENABLE_DEBUG_DMU_TX, ZFS_DKMS_DISABLE_STRIP
Set to control how dkms should build the dkms packages.
* ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH
Set path(s) where "zpool import" should import pools from.
This was previously the job of "USE_DISK_BY_ID" (which is still used
for backwards compatibility) but was renamed to allow for better
control of import path(s).
* If old USE_DISK_BY_ID is set, but not new ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH, then we
set ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH to sane defaults just to be on the safe side.
* ZED_ARGS
To allow for local options to zed without having to change the init script.
* The import function, do_import(), imports pools by name instead of '-a'
for better control of pools to import and from where.
* If USE_DISK_BY_ID is set (for backwards compatibility), but isn't 'yes'
then ignore it.
* If pool(s) isn't found with a simple "zpool import" (seen it happen),
try looking for them in /dev/disk/by-id (if it exists). Any duplicates
(pools found with both commands) is filtered out.
* IF we have found extra pool(s) this way, we must force USE_DISK_BY_ID
so that the first, simple "zpool import $pool" is able to find it.
* Fallback on importing the pool using the cache file (if it exists) only
if 'simple' import (either with ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH or the 'built in'
defaults) didn't work.
* The export function, do_export(), will export all pools imported, EXCEPT
the root pool (if there is one).
* ZED script from the Debian GNU/Linux packages added.
* Refreshed ZED init script from behlendorf@5e7a660 to be portable so it
may be used on both LSB and Redhat style systems.
* If there is no pool(s) imported and zed successfully shut down, we will
unload the zfs modules.
* The function library file for the ZoL init script is installed as
/etc/init.d/zfs-functions.
* The four init scripts, the /etc/{defaults,sysconfig,conf.d}/zfs config file
as well as the common function library is tagged as '%config(noreplace)' in
the rpm rules file to make sure they are not replaced automatically if locally
modifed.
* Pitfals and workarounds:
* If we're running from init, remove stale /etc/dfs/sharetab before importing
pools in the zfs-import init script.
* On Debian GNU/Linux, there's a 'sendsigs' script that will kill basically
everything quite early in the shutdown phase and zed is/should be stopped
much later than that. We don't want zed to be among the ones killed, so add
the zed pid to list of pids for 'sendsigs' to ignore.
* CentOS uses echo_success() and echo_failure() to print out status of
command. These in turn uses "echo -n \0xx[etc]" to move cursor and choose
colour etc. This doesn't work with the modified IFS variable we need to
use in zfs-import for some reason, so work around that when we define
zfs_log_{end,failure}_msg() for RedHat and derivative distributions.
* All scripts passes ShellCheck (with one false positive in do_mount()).

To minimize the size of a kmutex_t a MUTEX_OWNER check was added.
It allowed the kmutex_t wrapper to leverage the mutex owner which was
already stored in the mutex for certain kernel configurations.
The upside to this was that it reduced the size of the kmutex_t wrapper
structure by the size of a task_struct pointer (4/8 bytes). The
downside was that two mutex implementations needed to be maintained.
Depending on your exact kernel configuration the correct one would
be selected.
Over the years this solution worked but it could be fragile since it
depending heavily on assumed kernel mutex implementation details. For
example the SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER_TASK_STRUCT configure check needed to
be added when the kernel changed how the owner was stored. It also
made the code more complicated than it needed to be.
Therefore, in the name of simplicity and portability this optimization
is being retired. It will slightly increase the memory requirements
for a kmutex_t but only very slightly.

Using AC_LANG_SOURCE with some versions of autoconf is problematic if

the contents are to be written to conftest.c and generate shell code to

Linux tracepoints were consequently malformed (containing the source for
conftest.h) so the build system incorrectly disabled tracepoints

in their infancy. Therefore, an entire debugging subsystem was
added to facilite tracing which served us well for many years.
Now that Linux tracepoints have matured they provide all the

maintain parallel functionality it makes sense to fully adopt
tracepoints. Therefore, this patch retires the legacy debugging
infrastructure.

This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux
code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync
with Illumos.
The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of
reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding,
etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to
export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a
number of reasons:
* A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints
"automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap)
* Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled
* It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of
information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too.
Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well:
* Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed
modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported.
Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this
patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel;
exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules.
* Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux
tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules
(tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint).
Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to
loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or
newer.
Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an
example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes
(all commands run as 'root'):
# list all zfs tracepoints available
$ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs

For the specific tracepoint shown here, 'zfs_arc__miss', data is
exported detailing the arc_buf_hdr_t (hdr), blkptr_t (bp), and
zbookmark_t (zb) that caused the ARC miss (down to the exact DVA!).
This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable
when trying to answer certain kinds of questions.
For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS
source code along with the following three web links to be extremely
helpful:
* http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/
I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch:
* The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to
support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the
contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is
provided, conftest.h will be empty.
* The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced.
This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro,
except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as
the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE.
These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux
tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro
API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used
internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file).
* The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This
is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint
functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code
due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without
this check, the build process will fail at link time.
In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well.
To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory
and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The
dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as
well.

Installing outside of the prefix is not permissible under Gentoo Prefix.
The package manager will cause the installation process to fail if/when
it sees this. We could handle this by disabling systemd support on
prefix because systemd does not check these paths, but the Gentoo
Council decided that small files such as these should be installed.
That means disabling systemd support on prefix is not an acceptable
workaround. As a consequence, we need some way of control the directory
into which these files are installed.
Making this configurable increases our compliance with the

Platforms such as Illumos and FreeBSD have historically provided
global variables which summerize the memory state of a system.
Linux on the otherhand doesn't expose any of this information
to kernel modules and uses entirely different mechanisms for
memory management.
In order to simplify the original ZFS port to Linux these global
variables were emulated by the SPL for the benefit of ZFS. As ZoL
has matured over the years it has moved steadily away from these
interfaces and now no longer depends on them at all.
Therefore, this patch completely removes the global variables
availrmem, minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree, swapfs_minfree,
and swapfs_reserve. This greatly simplifies the memory management
code and eliminates a common area of confusion.

From day one the various ZFS libraries should have been placed in their
own sub-packages. Primarily this allows for multiple major versions of
the libraries to be concurrently installed. It also facilitates a
smaller build environment by minimizing the required dependencies.
The specific changes required to split the libraries from the utilities
are as follows:
* libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and libzfs2 packages were added
and contain the versioned shared libraries. The Fedora packaging
guidelines discourage providing static libraries so they are not
included in the packages.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries
* The zfs-devel package was renamed libzfs2-devel and the new package
obsoletes the old zfs-devel package. This package includes all
the required headers for the libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and
libzfs2 libraries and their respective unversioned shared libraries.
This package should eventually be split in to individual lib*-devel
packages but it will still take some work to cleanly separate them.
Therefore the libzfs2-devel package provides the expected lib*-devel
packages so the all proper dependencies can still be created.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages
* Moved '/sbin/ldconfig' execution from the zfs packge to each of the
new library packages as described by the packaging guidelines.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Shared_Libraries
* The /usr/share/doc/ files were moved in to the libzfs2-devel package.
* Updated config/deb.am to be aware of the packaging changes. This
ensures that 'deb-utils' make target converts all the resulting
packages generated by the 'rpm-utils' target.

For small objects the Linux slab allocator has several advantages
over its counterpart in the SPL. These include:
1) It is more memory-efficient and packs objects more tightly.
2) It is continually tuned to maximize performance.
Therefore it makes sense to layer the SPLs slab allocator on top
of the Linux slab allocator. This allows us to leverage the
advantages above while preserving the Illumos semantics we depend
on. However, there are some things we need to be careful of:
1) The Linux slab allocator was never designed to work well with
large objects. Because the SPL slab must still handle this use
case a cut off limit was added to transition from Linux slab
backed objects to kmem or vmem backed slabs.
spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
size in bytes will be backed by the Linux slab. By default
this value is zero which disables the Linux slab functionality.
Reasonable values for this cut off limit are in the range of
4096-16386 bytes.
spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
size in bytes will be backed by a kmem slab. Objects over this
size will be vmem backed instead. This value defaults to
1/8 a page, or 512 bytes on an x86_64 architecture.
2) Be aware that using the Linux slab may inadvertently introduce
new deadlocks. Care has been taken previously to ensure that
all allocations which occur in the write path use GFP_NOIO.
However, there may be internal allocations performed in the
Linux slab which do not honor these flags. If this is the case
a deadlock may occur.
The path forward is definitely to start relying on the Linux slab.
But for that to happen we need to start building confidence that
there aren't any unexpected surprises lurking for us. And ideally
need to move completely away from using the SPLs slab for large
memory allocations. This patch is a first step.
NOTES:
1) The KMC_NOMAGAZINE flag was leveraged to support the Linux slab
backed caches but it is not supported for kmem/vmem backed caches.
2) Regardless of the spl_kmem_cache_*_limit settings a cache may
be explicitly set to a given type by passed the KMC_KMEM,
KMC_VMEM, or KMC_SLAB flags during cache creation.
3) The constructors, destructors, and reclaim callbacks are all
functional and will be called regardless of the cache type.
4) KMC_SLAB caches will not appear in /proc/spl/kmem/slab due to
the issues involved in presenting correct object accounting.
Instead they will appear in /proc/slabinfo under the same names.
5) Several kmem SPLAT tests needed to be fixed because they relied
incorrectly on internal kmem slab accounting. With the updated
test cases all the SPLAT tests pass as expected.
6) An autoconf test was added to ensure that the __GFP_COMP flag
was correctly added to the default flags used when allocating
a slab. This is required to ensure all pages in higher order
slabs are properly refcounted, see ae16ed9.
7) When using the SLUB allocator there is no need to attempt to
set the __GFP_COMP flag. This has been the default behavior
for the SLUB since Linux 2.6.25.
8) When using the SLUB it may be desirable to set the slub_nomerge
kernel parameter to prevent caches from being merged.

zed supports a '-M' cmdline opt to lock all pages in memory via
mlockall(). The _POSIX_MEMLOCK define is checked to determine whether
this function is supported. The current test assumes mlockall()
is supported if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is non-zero. However, this test is
insufficient according to mlock(2) and sysconf(3). If _POSIX_MEMLOCK
is -1, mlockall() is not supported; but if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is 0,
availability must be checked at runtime.
This commit adds an autoconf check for mlockall() to user.m4. The zed
code block for mlockall() is now guarded with a test for HAVE_MLOCKALL.
If defined, mlockall() will be called and its runtime availability
checked via its return value.

Add macro definitions to AM_CPPFLAGS to propagate makefile installation

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Installation-Directory-Variables.html
A corollary is that you should not use these variables except
in makefiles. For instance, instead of trying to evaluate
datadir in configure and hard-coding it in makefiles using e.g.,
'AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([DATADIR], ["$datadir"], [Data directory.])',
you should add -DDATADIR='$(datadir)' to your makefile's definition
of CPPFLAGS (AM_CPPFLAGS if you are also using Automake).
The runstatedir directory is for "installing data files which the
programs modify while they run, that pertain to one specific machine,
and which need not persist longer than the execution of the program".
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html
It will be defined by autoconf 2.70 or later, and default to

GCC >+ 4.8's aggressive loop optimization breaks some of the iterators
over the dn_blkptr[] pseudo-array in dnode_phys. Since dn_blkptr[] is
defined as a single-element array, GCC believes an iterator can only
access index 0 and will unroll the loop into a single iteration.
One way to resolve the issue would be to cast the array to a pointer
and fix all the iterators that might break. The only loop where it
is known to cause a problem is this loop in dmu_objset_write_ready():
for (i = 0; i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
bp->blk_fill += dnp->dn_blkptr[i].blk_fill;
In the common case where dn_nblkptr is 3, the loop is only executed a
single time and "i" is equal to 1 following the loop.
The specific breakage caused by this problem is that the blk_fill of
root block pointers wouldn't be set properly when more than one blkptr
is in use (when no indrect blocks are needed).
The simple reproducing sequence is:
zpool create tank /tank.img
zdb -ddddd tank 0
Notice that "fill=31", however, there are two L0 indirect blocks with
"F=31" and "F=5". The fill count should be 36 rather than 31. This
problem causes an assert to be hit in a simple "zdb tank" when built
with --enable-debug.
However, this approach was not taken because we need to be absolutely
sure we catch all instances of this unwanted optimization. Therefore,
the build system has been updated to detect if GCC supports the
aggressive loop optimization. If it does the optimization will be
explicitly disabled using the -fno-aggressive-loop-optimization option.

Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux. They
are 'context', 'fscontext', 'defcontext' and 'rootcontext' which map
directly to the context options described in mount(8). When one of
these properties is set to something other than 'none'. That string
will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when
the filesystem is mounted.
For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set
to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows:
$ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media
This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that
rootcontext. It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext
with the -o option like this:
$ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media
By default all four contexts are set to 'none'. Further information
on SELinux contexts is detailed in mount(8) and selinux(8) man pages.

Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity. This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting. usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.
Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires(). Specifically,
CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
interpreted as the expiration time itself.
CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr

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.

2. Make 4 fake uberblock entries to make libblkid's check succeed.
3. Return 0 upon success to make autotools use the success case.
4. Include stdlib.h to avoid implicit declration of free().
5. Check for "zfs_member", not "zfs"
6. Make --with-blkid disable autotools check (avoids Gentoo sandbox violation)
7. Pass '-lblkid' correctly using LIBS not LDFLAGS.
Second, we change the libblkid support to scan for "zfs_member", not

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.

The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the
3.0 kernel was supposed to provide a safe way to call an arbitrary
function on all super blocks of a specific type. Unfortunately,
because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.
This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself. If the
iterate_supers_type() function happened to be processing the
removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.
The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head
to an hlist_node. However, to resolve the issue for existing
3.0 - 3.2 kernels we detect when a list_head is used. Then to
prevent the spinning from occurring the .next pointer is set to
the fs_supers list_head which ensures the iterate_supers_type()
function will always terminate.

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

When building from an arbitrary commit in the git tree it's useful

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.

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.

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.

which results in a build failure.
The right thing to do is include 'linux/atomic.h' however we
can't safely do this because it doesn't exist in 2.6.26 kernels.
Therefore, we include 'linux/fs.h' which in turn includes the
correct atomic header regardless of the kernel version.

failure results.

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.

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.

Certain versions of gcc generate an 'unrecognized command

Revert the portion of commit d3aa3ea which always resulted in the
SAs being update when an mmap()'ed file was closed. That change
accidentally resulted in unexpected ctime updates which upset tools
like git. That was always a horrible hack and I'm happy it will
never make it in to a tagged release.
The right fix is something I initially resisted doing because I
was worried about the additional overhead. However, in hindsight
the overhead isn't as bad as I feared.
This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is
unsurprisingly called when an inode is dirtied. We leverage this
callback to keep the znode SAs strictly in sync with the inode.
However, for now we're going to go slowly to avoid introducing
any new unexpected issues by only updating the atime, mtime, and
ctime. This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

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

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().

For this reason, this change is being reverted until the additional
logic can be added to detect the existing pool case. Existing
pools must use the ashift size stored in the label regardless of
what the disk reports. This is critical for compatibility.

Issue #955
Use the bdev_physical_block_size() interface to determine the
minimize write size which can be issued without incurring a
read-modify-write operation. This is used to set the ashift
correctly to prevent a performance penalty when using AF hard
disks.
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
a while list of known offending drives. Maintaining such a list
will be a burden, but it still may be worth doing if we can
detect a large number of these drives. This should be considered
as future work.

Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and
alignment can be made efficiently.
In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests
efficiently: indeed, it is unable to free a part of a block. It will
write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).
With this patch, zvol block devices expose volblocksize as their discard
granularity, so the upper layer is aware that it's not supposed to send
discard requests smaller than volblocksize.

This patch adds a new autoconf function: SPL_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL.

- If unsuccessful, return false.
- If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin,
return true.
- Else, call CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT with the specified parameters and
return the result.
All calls to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT are converted to
LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL so that the tests work even when configuring
for builtin on a kernel which doesn't have loadable module support, or
hasn't been built yet.
The only exception are:
- AC_GET_VMALLOC_INFO, because we don't even have a public header to
include in the test case, but that's okay considering this symbol can
be ignored just fine.
- SPL_AC_DEVICE_CREATE, which is legacy API for 2.6.18 kernels. Since
kernels this old are no longer supported it should arguably just be
removed entirely from the build system.
Note that we're also checking for the correct prototype with an actual
call, which was not the case with CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT. However, for
"complicated" test cases like with multiple symbol versions (e.g.
vfs_fsync), we stick with the original behavior and only check for the

Gentoo Hardened kernels include the PaX/GRSecurity patches. They use a
dialect of C that relies on a GCC plugin. In particular, struct
file_operations has been marked do_const in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect,
which causes GCC to consider all instances of it as const. This caused
failures in the autotools checks and the ZFS source code.
To address this, we modify the autotools checks to take into account
differences between the PaX C dialect and the regular C dialect. We also
modify struct zfs_acl's z_ops member to be a pointer to a function
pointer table. Lastly, we modify zpl_put_link() to address a PaX change
to the function prototype of nd_get_link(). This avoids compiler errors
in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect.

Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on
whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace
while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in
EBUSY.
This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the
module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in
vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires
jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition
device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the
BLKRRPART call.
Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion
only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still
call BLKRRPART from userspace.
This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37
and latter kernels. The build system has been updated to detect this,
but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels. This means that
online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels. However, it
will still be possible to expand the vdev offline.

DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning.
It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from
a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.
We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.
Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

Issue #334
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.
Detailed rationale:
- max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
upper layer decide.
- max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.
- physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
slow.
- The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:
WRITE: A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
WRITE_SYNC: Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
shortly.
WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
WRITE_FUA: Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
non-volatile media on completion.
In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to

Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s. This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart. The result of this
is the following behavior.
--enable-debug - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
are never required for correct operation.
They are disabled by default because they
may impact performance.
--enable-debug-log - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log This infrastructure allows the spl code and
its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
log. The granularity of the logging can be
controlled by a debug mask. By default the
mask disables most debug messages resulting
in a negligible performance impact. Because
of this the debug log is enabled by default.

The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.
The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.
This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.
In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:
* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.
arc_add_prune_callback()
arc_remove_prune_callback()
* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.
* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.
* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.
* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.
* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

For a long time now the kernel has been moving away from using the
pdflush daemon to write 'old' dirty pages to disk. The primary reason
for this is because the pdflush daemon is single threaded and can be
a limiting factor for performance. Since pdflush sequentially walks
the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can
slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems.
The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info). The
bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each
with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback. The advantage
is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single
filesystem from slowing writeback to the others.
For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't
strictly required to implement the bdi scheme. However, as of
Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired.
Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only
an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache.
Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked
because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback.
However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi
functionality can cause problems. If an application handles a page
fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath. This will
result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in
the system drops below the dirty ratio.
Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the
dirty pages will not get written out. Thus the application will hang.
As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because
pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages.
This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t
which is already allocated per-super block. It is then registered
when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount. It will
not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only. This
change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created
and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback.

The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback
in the file_system_type structure. When using the new
interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper.
Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount
down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing
implementation because we currently save this pointer in the
super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point
in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.
This needed to be done originally to allow commands like
'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me
to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under
Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a
file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However,
under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace
which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.
Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and
continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update
the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux.
This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue
for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which
have been reported.
This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back
reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount
options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'.
This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace
to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing
them on to the file system itself.
Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the
vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This
change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

The function zlib_deflate_workspacesize() now take 2 arguments.
This was done to avoid always having to allocate the maximum size
workspace (268K). The caller can now specific the windowBits and
memLevel compression parameters to get a smaller workspace.
For our purposes we introduce a spl_zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
wrapper which accepts both arguments. When the two argument
version of zlib_deflate_workspacesize() is available the arguments
are passed through. When it's not we assume the worst case and
a maximally sized workspace is used.
The path_lookup() function has been renamed to kern_path_parent()
and the flags argument has been removed. The only behavior now
offered is that of LOOKUP_PARENT. The spl already always passed
this flag so dropping the flag does not impact us.
As of gcc-4.6 the option -Wunused-but-set-variable is enabled by
default. While this is a useful warning there are numerous places
in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an
ASSERT(). To avoid having to update every instance of this in the
code we now set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable to suppress the warning.
Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these
warning also become fatal. We can reevaluate the suppression of these
error at a later time if it becomes an issue. For now we are basically
just reverting to the previous gcc behavior.
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests. It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables. Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default. This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.
To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available. Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.
Closes#176
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests. It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables. Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default. This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.

To resolve a potiential filesystem corruption issue a second
argument was added to invalidate_inodes(). This argument controls
whether dirty inodes are dropped or treated as busy when invalidating
a super block. When only the legacy API is available the second
argument will be dropped for compatibility.
Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune
cached entries from the dcache and icache. After the entries are
pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped.
Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy
access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the
reclaim count. However, in practice this doesn't need to be
exactly correct. We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction
(but not all) of the cache. The caller can determine if more
needs to be done.
Added insert_inode_locked() helper function, prior to this most callers
used insert_inode_hash(). The older method doesn't check for collisions
in the inode_hashtable but it still acceptible for use. Fallback to
using insert_inode_hash() when insert_inode_locked() is unavailable.
To simplify the process of using zfs as your root filesystem a
zfs-drucat sub-package has been added. This sub-package adds a zfs
dracut module which allows your initramfs to be rebuilt with zfs
support. The process for doing this is still complicated but there
is clearly interest from the community about getting this working
well and documented. This should help lay some of the groundwork.
Longer term these changes should be pushed in the upstream dracut
package. Once that occurs this subpackage will no longer be
required for new systems, however we may want to conditionally
build this package in the future for systems running older
dracut versions.

To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed. Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things. Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway. I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.
The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.
Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script. Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.
This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.
Detect early on in configure if the Modules.symvers file is missing.
Without this file there will be build failures later and it's best
to catch this early and provide a useful error. In this case the
most likely problem is the kernel-devel packages are not installed.
It may also be possible that they are using an unbuilt custom kernel
in which case they must build the kernel first.

In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules. This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.
Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address. The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn. Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address. All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.
Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.
The open_bdev_exclusive() function has been replaced (again) by the
more generic blkdev_get_by_path() function. Additionally, the
counterpart function close_bdev_exclusive() has been replaced by
blkdev_put(). Because these functions are more generic versions
of the functions they replaced the compatibility macro must add
the FMODE_EXCL mask to ensure they are exclusive.
Closes#114
The new prefered inteface for evicting an inode from the inode cache
is the ->evict_inode() callback. It replaces both the ->delete_inode()
and ->clear_inode() callbacks which were previously used for this.
The xattr handler prototypes were sanitized with the idea being that
the same handlers could be used for multiple methods. The result of
this was the inode type was changes to a dentry, and both the get()
and set() hooks had a handler_flags argument added. The list()
callback was similiarly effected but no autoconf check was added
because we do not use the list() callback.
The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take
3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the
dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To
handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right
prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument
either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.
Preferentially use the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source and

ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be
available. The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the
library to access the needed symbols. If this fails libshare
support is simply disabled.
This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare
implementation. In fact just enough to prevent the build from
failing. Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a
libshare library like Solaris. At best this would be an abstraction
layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB. Alternately, we can drop libshare
entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB.
Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped. If we
do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be
as part of this package so the check is not needed.
If libselinux is detected on your system at configure time link
against it. This allows us to use a library call to detect if
selinux is enabled and if it is to pass the mount option:
"context=\"system_u:object_r:file_t:s0"
For now this is required because none of the existing selinux
policies are aware of the zfs filesystem type. Because of this
they do not properly enable xattr based labeling even though
zfs supports all of the required hooks.
Until distro's add zfs as a known xattr friendly fs type we
must use mntpoint labeling. Alternately, end users could modify
their existing selinux policy with a little guidance.

The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*
and REQ_* flags. The new flag is called REQ_SYNC. To simplify
checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function. Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.
Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio:
2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO
2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC
As of linux-2.6.36 the BIO_RW_FAILFAST and REQ_FAILFAST flags
have been unified under the REQ_* names. These flags always had
to be kept in-sync so this is a nice step forward, unfortunately
it means we need to be careful to only use the new unified flags
when the BIO_RW_* flags are not defined. Additional autoconf
checks were added for this and if it is ever unclear which method
to use no flags are set. This is safe but may result in longer
delays before a disk is failed.
Perferred interface for setting FAILFAST on a bio:
2.6.12-2.6.27: BIO_RW_FAILFAST
2.6.28-2.6.35: BIO_RW_FAILFAST_{DEV|TRANSPORT|DRIVER}
2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_FAILFAST_{DEV|TRANSPORT|DRIVER}
In the linux-2.6.36 kernel the fs_struct lock was changed from a
rwlock_t to a spinlock_t. If the kernel would export the set_fs_pwd()
symbol by default this would not have caused us any issues, but they
don't. So we're forced to add a new autoconf check which sets the
HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used. We can
then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom
set_fs_pwd() implementation.
As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument. The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it. This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.
To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API. Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments. For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.
ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device
failure occurs. This allows it to immediately start any recovery
actions which may be needed. In theory Linux supports a flag which
can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick
notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers.
That's the theory at least. In practice is turns out that while the
flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag.
And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level
drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the
right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer.
Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much
which can be done to improve this. Basically, this just means that
it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a
device has failed. This can be improved and I suspect I'll be
submitting patches upstream to handle this.
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.

This change also moves many of the include headers from individual

the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.

The spl_config.h file is checked to determine the spl version.
However, the zfs code was looking for it in the source directory
and not the build directory.
This check was previously done with a hack in config.guess.
However, since a new config.guess is copied in to place when
forcing a full autoreconf this change was easily lost and
never a good idea. This commit also updates all of the

A race condition in rwsem_is_locked() was fixed in Linux 2.6.33 and the fix was
backported to RHEL5 as of kernel 2.6.18-190.el5. Details can be found here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526092
The race condition was fixed in the kernel by acquiring the semaphore's
wait_lock inside rwsem_is_locked(). The SPL worked around the race condition
by acquiring the wait_lock before calling that function, but with the fix in
place it must not do that.
This commit implements an autoconf test to detect whether the fixed version of
rwsem_is_locked() is present. The previous version of rwsem_is_locked() was an
inline static function while the new version is exported as a symbol which we
can check for in module.symvers. Depending on the result we correctly
implement the needed compatibility macros for proper spinlock handling.
Finally, we do the right thing with spin locks in RW_*_HELD() by using the
new compatibility macros. We only only acquire the semaphore's wait_lock if
it is calling a rwsem_is_locked() that does not itself try to acquire the lock.
Some new overhead and a small harmless race is introduced by this change.
This is because RW_READ_HELD() and RW_WRITE_HELD() now acquire and release
the wait_lock twice: once for the call to rwsem_is_locked() and once for
the call to rw_owner(). This can't be avoided if calling a rwsem_is_locked()
that takes the wait_lock, as it will in more recent kernels.
The other case which only occurs in legacy kernels could be optimized by
taking the lock only once, as was done prior to this commit. However, I
decided that the performance gain probably wasn't significant enough to
justify the messy special cases required.
The function spl_rw_get_owner() was only used to enable the afore-mentioned
optimization. Since it is no longer used, I removed it.

The RHEL5 2.6.18-194.7.1.el5 kernel added atomic64_cmpxchg to
asm-x86_64/atomic.h. That macro is defined in terms of cmpxchg which
is provided by asm/system.h. However, asm/system.h is not #included by
atomic.h in this kernel nor by the autoconf test for atomic64_cmpxchg, so
the test failed with "implicit declaration of function 'cmpxchg'". This
leads the build system to erroneously conclude that the kernel does not
define atomic64_cmpxchg and enable the built-in definition. This in
turn produces a '"atomic64_cmpxchg" redefined' build warning which is fatal
when building with --enable-debug. This commit fixes this by including
asm/system.h in the autoconf test.

The long term fix for Debian and Slackware style packaging is
to add native support for building these packages. Unfortunately,
that is a large chunk of work I don't have time for right now.
That said it would be nice to have at least basic packages for
these distributions.
As a quick short/medium term solution I've settled on using alien
to convert the RPM packages to DEB or TGZ style packages. The
build system has been updated with the following build targets
which will first build RPM packages and then convert them as
needed to the target package type:
make rpm: Create .rpm packages
make deb: Create .deb packages
make tgz: Create .tgz packages
make pkg: Create the right package type for your distribution
The solution comes with lot of caveats and your mileage may vary.
But basically the big limitations are that the resulting packages:
1) Will not have the correct dependency information.
2) Will not not include the kernel version in the release.
3) Will not handle all differences between distributions.
But the resulting packages should be easy to install and remove
from your system and take care of running 'depmod -a' and such.
As I said at the top this is not the right long term solution.
If any of the upstream distribution maintainers want to jump in
and help do this right for their distribution I'd love the help.
The prototype for filp_fsync() drop the unused argument 'stuct dentry *'.
I've fixed this by adding the needed autoconf check and moving all of
those filp related functions to file_compat.h. This will simplify
handling any further API changes in the future.
Up until now no SPL consumer attempted to perform signed 64-bit
division so there was no need to support this. That has now
changed so I adding 64-bit division support for 32-bit platforms.
The signed implementation is based on the unsigned version.
Since the have been several bug reports in the past concerning
correct 64-bit division on 32-bit platforms I added some long
over due regression tests. Much to my surprise the unsigned
64-bit division regression tests failed.
This was surprising because __udivdi3() was implemented by simply
calling div64_u64() which is provided by the kernel. This meant
that the linux kernels 64-bit division algorithm on 32-bit platforms
was flawed. After some investigation this turned out to be exactly
the case.
Because of this I was forced to abandon the kernel helper and
instead to fully implement 64-bit division in the spl. There are
several published implementation out there on how to do this
properly and I settled on one proposed in the book Hacker's Delight.
Their proposed algoritm is freely available without restriction
and I have just modified it to be linux kernel friendly.
The update implementation now passed all the unsigned and signed
regression tests. This should be functional, but not fast, which is
good enough for out purposes. If you want fast too I'd strongly
suggest you upgrade to a 64-bit platform. I have also reported the
kernel bug and we'll see if we can't get it fixed up stream.
As of autoconf-2.65 the AC_LANG_SOURCE source macro no longer
includes the confdef.h results when expanded. To handle this
simply explicitly include confdef.h in conftest.c. This will
cause two copies to of confdef.h to be added to the test for
earlier autoconf versions but this is not harmful.

For some reason when awk invoked by the usermode helper the command
always fails. Interestingly gawk does not suffer from this problem
which is why I never observed this failure since the distro I tested
with all had gawk installed instead of awk. Anyway, the simplest
thing to do here is to just make gawk mandatory. I've added a
configure check for gawk specifically and have updated the command
to call gawk not awk.
I didn't notice at the time but user_path_dir() was not introduced
at the same time as set_fs_pwd() change. I had lumped the two
together but in fact user_path_dir() was introduced in 2.6.27 and
set_fs_pwd() taking 2 args was introduced in 2.6.25. This means
builds against 2.6.25-2.6.26 kernels were broken.
To fix this I've added a check for user_path_dir() and no longer
assume that if set_fs_pwd() takes 2 args then user_path_dir() is
also available.
Whoops, I momentarilly forgot I had explicitly set these as CC
options so dependent packages which need to include spl_config.h
would not end up having these defined which can result in
accidentally hanging debug enabled at best, or a build failure
at worst.
While in theory I like the idea of compiler warnings always being
fatal. In practice this causes problems when small harmless errors
cause build failures for end users. To handle this I've updated
the build system such that -Werror is only used when --enable-debug
is passed to configure. This is how I always build when developing
so I'll catch all build warnings and end users will not get stuck
by minor issues.
As of linux-2.6.33 the ctl_name member of the ctl_table struct
has been entirely removed. The upstream code has been updated
to depend entirely on the the procname member. To handle this
all references to ctl_name are wrapped in a CTL_NAME macro which
simply expands to nothing for newer kernels. Older kernels are
supported by having it expand to .ctl_name = X just as before.
It seems the upstream community moved the definition of UTS_RELEASE
yet again as of linux-2.6.33. Update the build system to check in
all three possible locations where your kernel version may be defined.

This patch adds three missing Solaris functions: kmem_asprintf(), strfree(),
and strdup(). They are all implemented as a thin layer which just calls
their Linux counterparts. As part of this an autoconf check for kvasprintf
was added because it does not appear in older kernels. If the kernel does
not provide it then spl-generic implements it.
Additionally the dead DEBUG_KMEM_UNIMPLEMENTED code was removed to clean
things up and make the kmem.h a little more readable.
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
The cleanest way to do this is to set AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --silent. However,
AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS is not honored by automake-1.9.6-2.1 which is what I have
been using. To cleanly handle this I am updating to automake-1.11-3 which
is why it looks like there is a lot of churn in the Makefiles.
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly. This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed. This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h. That turns out to be easier said than done. In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.
To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command. This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file. This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.
Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included. It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.
Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds. If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'. Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source. This will likely fail when building
under a mock (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock) chroot
environment since `uname -r` will report the running kernel which
likely is not the kernel in your chroot. To cleanly handle this
we fallback to using the first kernel in your chroot.
The kernel-devel package which contains all the kernel headers and
a few build products such as Module.symver{s} is all the is required.
Full source is not needed.
As of linux-2.6.32 the 'struct file *filp' argument was dropped from
the proc_handle() prototype. It was apparently unused _almost_
everywhere in the kernel and this was simply cleanup.
I've added a new SPL_AC_5ARGS_PROC_HANDLER autoconf check for this and
the proper compat macros to correctly define the prototypes and some
helper functions. It's not pretty but API compat changes rarely are.
This patch is another step towards updating the code to handle the
32-bit kernels which I have not been regularly testing. This changes
do not really impact the common case I'm expected which is the latest
kernel running on an x86_64 arch.
Until the linux-2.6.31 kernel the x86 arch did not have support for
64-bit atomic operations. Additionally, the new atomic_compat.h support
for this case was wrong because it embedded a spinlock in the atomic
variable which must always and only be 64-bits total. To handle these
32-bit issues we now simply fall back to the --enable-atomic-spinlock
implementation if the kernel does not provide the 64-bit atomic funcs.
The second issue this patch addresses is the DEBUG_KMEM assumption that
there will always be atomic64 funcs available. On 32-bit archs this may
not be true, and actually that's just fine. In that case the kernel will
will never be able to allocate more the 32-bits worth anyway. So just
check if atomic64 funcs are available, if they are not it means this
is a 32-bit machine and we can safely use atomic_t's instead.
SPL_AC_2ARGS_SET_FS_PWD macro updated to explicitly include
linux/fs_struct.h which was dropped from linux/sched.h.
min_wmark_pages, low_wmark_pages, high_wmark_pages macros
introduced in newer kernels. For older kernels mm_compat.h
was introduced to define them as needed as direct mappings
to per zone min_pages, low_pages, max_pages.
Cleanup the --enable-debug-* configure options, this has been pending
for quite some time and I am glad I finally got to it. To summerize:
1) All SPL_AC_DEBUG_* macros were updated to be a more autoconf
friendly. This mainly involved shift to the GNU approved usage of
AC_ARG_ENABLE and ensuring AS_IF is used rather than directly using
an if [ test ] construct.
2) --enable-debug-kmem=yes by default. This simply enabled keeping
a running tally of total memory allocated and freed and reporting a
memory leak if there was one at module unload. Additionally, it
ensure /proc/spl/kmem/slab will exist by default which is handy.
The overhead is low for this and it should not impact performance.
3) --enable-debug-kmem-tracking=no by default. This option was added
to provide a configure option to enable to detailed memory allocation
tracking. This support was always there but you had to know where to
turn it on. By default this support is disabled because it is known
to badly hurt performence, however it is invaluable when chasing a
memory leak.
4) --enable-debug-kstat removed. After further reflection I can't see
why you would ever really want to turn this support off. It is now
always on which had the nice side effect of simplifying the proc handling
code in spl-proc.c. We can now always assume the top level directory
will be there.
5) --enable-debug-callb removed. This never really did anything, it was
put in provisionally because it might have been needed. It turns out
it was not so I am just removing it to prevent confusion.
These functions didn't exist for all archs prior to 2.6.24. This
patch addes an autoconf test to detect this and add them when needed.
The autoconf check is needed instead of just an #ifndef because in
the most modern kernels atomic64_{cmp}xchg are implemented as in
inline function and not a #define.
Previously Solaris style atomic primitives were implemented simply by
wrapping the desired operation in a global spinlock. This was easy to
implement at the time when I wasn't 100% sure I could safely layer the
Solaris atomic primatives on the Linux counterparts. It however was
likely not good for performance.
After more investigation however it does appear the Solaris primitives
can be layered on Linux's fairly safely. The Linux atomic_t type really
just wraps a long so we can simply cast the Solaris unsigned value to
either a atomic_t or atomic64_t. The only lingering problem for both
implementations is that Solaris provides no atomic read function. This
means reading a 64-bit value on a 32-bit arch can (and will) result in
word breaking. I was very concerned about this initially, but upon
further reflection it is a limitation of the Solaris API. So really
we are just being bug-for-bug compatible here.
With this change the default implementation is layered on top of Linux
atomic types. However, because we're assuming a lot about the internal
implementation of those types I've made it easy to fall-back to the
generic approach. Simply build with --enable-atomic_spinlocks if
issues are encountered with the new implementation.
Ricardo has pointed out that under Solaris the cwd is set to '/'
during module load, while under Linux it is set to the callers cwd.
To handle this cleanly I've reworked the module *_init()/_exit()
macros so they call a *_setup()/_cleanup() function when any SPL
dependent module is loaded or unloaded. This gives us a chance to
perform any needed modification of the process, in this case changing
the cwd. It also handily provides a way to avoid creating wrapper
init()/exit() functions because the Solaris and Linux prototypes
differ slightly. All dependent modules should now call the spl
helper macros spl_module_{init,exit}() instead of the native linux
versions.
Unfortunately, it appears that under Linux there has been no consistent
API in the kernel to set the cwd in a module. Because of this I have
had to add more autoconf magic than I'd like. However, what I have
done is correct and has been tested on RHEL5, SLES11, FC11, and CHAOS
kernels.
In addition, I have change the rootdir type from a 'void *' to the
correct 'vnode_t *' type. And I've set rootdir to a non-NULL value.
For a generic explanation of why mutexs needed to be reimplemented
to work with the kernel lock profiling see commits:
e811949a57 and
d28db80fd0
The specific changes made to the mutex implemetation are as follows.
The Linux mutex structure is now directly embedded in the kmutex_t.
This allows a kmutex_t to be directly case to a mutex struct and
passed directly to the Linux primative.
Just like with the rwlocks it is critical that these functions be
implemented as '#defines to ensure the location information is
preserved. The preprocessor can then do a direct replacement of
the Solaris primative with the linux primative.
Just as with the rwlocks we need to track the lock owner. Here
things get a little more interesting because depending on your
kernel version, and how you've built your kernel Linux may already
do this for you. If your running a 2.6.29 or newer kernel on a
SMP system the lock owner will be tracked. This was added to Linux
to support adaptive mutexs, more on that shortly. Alternately, your
kernel might track the lock owner if you've set CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
in the kernel build. If neither of the above things is true for
your kernel the kmutex_t type will include and track the lock owner
to ensure correct behavior. This is all handled by a new autoconf
check called SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER.
Concerning adaptive mutexs these are a very recent development and
they did not make it in to either the latest FC11 of SLES11 kernels.
Ideally, I'd love to see this kernel change appear in one of these
distros because it does help performance. From Linux kernel commit:
0d66bf6d3514b35eb6897629059443132992dbd7
"Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application...
gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox"
However, if you don't want to backport this change yourself you
can still simply export the task_curr() symbol. The kmutex_t
implementation will use this symbol when it's available to
provide it's own adaptive mutexs.
Finally, DEBUG_MUTEX support was removed including the proc handlers.
This was done because now that we are cleanly integrated with the
kernel profiling all this information and much much more is available
in debug kernel builds. This code was now redundant.
Update mutexs validated on:
- SLES10 (ppc64)
- SLES11 (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3 (x86_64)
- RHEL6 (x86_64)
- FC11 (x86_64)
It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but
did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/
analysis tools. This is a major problem since it would be awfully
nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler.
The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor
to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked. Since the
rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the
same. The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for
the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag
nearly everything as a possible deadlock.
The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using
a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure. This was not
done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch.
To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem
API is not possible. It can only be done by directly accessing some of
the internal data member of the rwsem structure.
For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping
a reader vs writer lock. Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function
and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is. This means to
properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a
reader or writer lock. Then we need to call the proper Linux API function.
Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this
information directly from arch specific lock implementation. This is
all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably.
The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this
change. We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced
overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them.
The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this
information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem. Luckily this
appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my
understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway.
In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to
the rwlock regression tests. Each class of test was extended to provide
more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior.
This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been
careful to validate it on several platforms before committing. The full
SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following
platforms. This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29.
- SLES10 (ppc64)
- SLES11 (x86_64)
- CHAOS4.2 (x86_64)
- RHEL5.3 (x86_64)
- RHEL6 (x86_64)
- FC11 (x86_64)
Basically everything we need to monitor the global memory state of
the system is now cleanly available via global_page_state(). The
problem is that this interface is still fairly recent, and there
has been one change in the page state enum which we need to handle.
These changes basically boil down to the following:
- If global_page_state() is available we should use it. Several
autoconf checks have been added to detect the correct enum names.
- If global_page_state() is not available check to see if
get_zone_counts() symbol is available and use that.
- If the get_zone_counts() symbol is not exported we have no choice
be to dynamically aquire it at load time. This is an absolute
last resort for old kernel which we don't want to patch to
cleanly export the symbol.
The previous credential implementation simply provided the needed types and
a couple of dummy functions needed. This update correctly ties the basic
Solaris credential API in to one of two Linux kernel APIs.
Prior to 2.6.29 the linux kernel embeded all credentials in the task
structure. For these kernels, we pass around the entire task struct as if
it were the credential, then we use the helper functions to extract the
credential related bits.
As of 2.6.29 a new credential type was added which we can and do fairly
cleanly layer on top of. Once again the helper functions nicely hide
the implementation details from all callers.
Three tests were added to the splat test framework to verify basic
correctness. They should be extended as needed when need credential
functions are added.
Modern kernel build systems at least post 2.6.16 will set this properly
so we should not. In fact post 2.6.28 the include headers have moved
under arch so the guess we make here is completely wrong. Letting
the kernel build system set this ensure it will be correct.
