ZED depends on /var. When /var is a separate dataset, it must be
mounted before starting ZED. This change moves the zfs-zed service
from starting first, to starting after zfs-mount, but before zfs-share.
As discussed in issue #3513, ZED does not need to start first in order
to consume events made during the zfs-import and zfs-mount services.
The events will be queued and can be handled later in the boot process.
ZED may, however, handle sharing in the future, so it should be started
before the zfs-share service.
This commit also stops the zfs-import service from writing temp files
to /var/tmp on shutdown and it corrects the return code for the OpenRC
service.
Other OpenRC-specific changes noted in issue #3513 were reitereated in
issue #3715 and committed in da619f3.

Build products from an out of tree build should be written
relative to the build directory. Sources should be referred
to by their locations in the source directory.
This is accomplished by adding the 'src' and 'obj' variables
for the module Makefile.am, using relative paths to reference
source files, and by setting VPATH when source files are not
co-located with the Makefile. This enables the following:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure \

Use the 'mount' command instead of /proc/mounts to get a list of matching
filesystems.
This because /proc/mounts reports a pool with a space 'rpool 1' as
'rpool\0401'. The space is encoded as 3-digit octal which is legal.
However 'printf "%b"', which we use to filter out other illegal
characters (such as slash, space etc) can't properly interpret this
because it expects 4-digit octal. We get a instead of the space
we expected. The correct value should have been 'rpool\00401' (note
the additional leading zero).
So use 'mount', which interprets all backslash-escapes correctly,
instead.

* Based on the init scripts included with Debian GNU/Linux, then take code

* Add configurable variables to control the workings of the init scripts:
* 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()).

The current zfs OpenRC script's dependencies cause OpenRC to attempt to
unmount ZFS filesystems at shutdown while things were still using them,
which would fail. This is a cosmetic issue, but it should still be
addressed. It probably does not affect systems where the rootfs is a
legacy filesystem, but any system with the rootfs on ZFS needs to run
the ZFS init script after the system is ready to shutdown filesystems.
OpenRC's shutdown process occurs in the reverse order of the startup
process. Therefore running the ZFS shutdown procedure after filesystems
are ready to be unmounted requires running the startup procedure before
fstab. This patch changes the dependencies of the script to expliclty
run before fstab at boot when the rootfs is ZFS and to run after fstab
at boot whenever the rootfs is not ZFS. This should cover most use
cases.
The only cases not covered well by this are systems with legacy
root filesystems where people want to configure fstab to mount a non-ZFS
filesystem off a zvol and possibly also systems whose pools are stored
on network block devices. The former requires that the ZFS script run
before fstab, which could cause ZFS datasets to mount too early and
appear under the fstab mount points. The latter requires that the ZFS
script run after networking starts, which precludes the ability to store
any system information on ZFS. An additional OpenRC script could be
written to handle non-root pools on network block devices, but that will
depend on user demand and developer time.

Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and

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

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
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.
The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.
Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

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.

Added the necessary build infrastructure for building packages
compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well
on the Arch Linux machine to create two binary packages compatible with
the pacman package manager, one for the zfs userland utilities and
another for the zfs kernel modules. The new packages can then be
installed by running:
# pacman -U $package.pkg.tar.xz
In addition, source-only packages suitable for an Arch Linux chroot
environment or remote builder can also be build using the 'sarch' make
rule.
NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head
of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx.
As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the
PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may
or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball
is not being downloaded from an outside source.
