The Solaris version of ZFS does not allow xattrs to be set on
symlinks due to the way they implemented the attropen() system
call. Linux however implements xattrs through the lgetxattr()
and lsetxattr() system calls which do not have this limitation.
The only reason this hasn't always worked under ZFS on Linux
is that the xattr handlers were not registered for symlink type
inodes. This was done simply to be consistent with the Solaris
behavior.
Upon futher reflection I believe this should be allowed under
Linux. The only ill effect would be that the xattrs on symlinks
will not be visible when the pool is imported on a Solaris
system. This also has the benefit that it allows for SELinux
style security xattr labeling which expects to be able to set
xattrs on all inode types.

Closes#272
The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden
directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name
and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is
very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However,
it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing
a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks.
1) Lookup the dnode object.
2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object.
3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory.
To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3
and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When
the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external
block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small
and this approach works well.
The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean
way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa'
is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes.
This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and
up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional
xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be
stored using the traditional directory approach.
This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement
when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4
and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file
the performance improvements are even greater because all of the
xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached.
However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port
to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do
enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms
which do not support this feature.

While setting/getting userquota and groupquota properties, the input
was not treated as a possible username or groupname if it had a
leading digit. While useradd in linux recommends the regexp
[a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]? , it is not enforced. This causes problem for
usernames with leading digits in them. We need to be able to support
getting and setting properties for this unconventional but possible
input category
I've updated the code to validate the username or groupname directly
via the API. Also, note that I moved this validation to the beginning
before the check for SID names with @. This also supports usernames
with @ character in them which are valid. Only when input with @ is
not a valid username, it is interpreted as a potential SID name.

While we initially allowed you to set your ashift as large as 17
(SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE) that is actually unsafe. What wasn't considered
at the time is that each uberblock written to the vdev label ring
buffer will be of this size. Now the buffer is statically sized
to 128k and we need to be able to fit several uberblocks in it.
With a large ashift that becomes a problem.
Therefore I'm reducing the maximum configurable ashift value to 12.
This is large enough for the 4k sector drives and small enough that
we can still keep the most recent 32 uberblock in the vdev label
ring buffer.

Profiling the system during meta data intensive workloads such
as creating/removing millions of files, revealed that the system
was cpu bound. A large fraction of that cpu time was being spent
waiting on the virtual address space spin lock.
It turns out this was caused by certain heavily used kmem_caches
being backed by virtual memory. By default a kmem_cache will
dynamically determine the type of memory used based on the object
size. For large objects virtual memory is usually preferable
and for small object physical memory is a better choice. See
the spl_slab_alloc() function for a longer discussion on this.
However, there is a certain amount of gray area when defining a
'large' object. For the following caches it turns out they were
just over the line:
* dnode_cache
* zio_cache
* zio_link_cache
* zio_buf_512_cache
* zfs_data_buf_512_cache
Now because we know there will be a lot of churn in these caches,
and because we know the slabs will still be reasonably sized.
We can safely request with the KMC_KMEM flag that the caches be
backed with physical memory addresses. This entirely avoids the
need to serialize on the virtual address space lock.
As a bonus this also reduces our vmalloc usage which will be good
for 32-bit kernels which have a very small virtual address space.
It will also probably be good for interactive performance since
unrelated processes could also block of this same global lock.
Finally, we may see less cpu time being burned in the arc_reclaim
and txg_sync_threads.

Relying on an /etc/hostid file which is installed in the system
image breaks diskless systems which share an image. Certain

Due to the confusion in Linux statfs between f_frsize and f_bsize
the blocks counts were changed to be in units of z_max_blksize
instead of SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE as it is on other platforms.
However, the free files calculation in zfs_statvfs() is limited by
the free blocks count, since each dnode consumes one block/sector.
This provided a reasonable estimate of free inodes, but on Linux
this meant that the free inodes count was underestimated by a large
amount, since 256 512-byte dnodes can fit into a 128kB block, and
more if the max blocksize is increased to 1MB or larger.
Also, the use of SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE is semantically incorrect since
DNODE_SIZE may change to a value other than SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE and
may even change per dataset, and devices with large sectors setting
ashift will also use a larger blocksize.

GPT's created by libefi set the HeaderSize attribute in the GPT
header to 512 -- size of the GPT header INCLUDING the 420 padding
bytes at the end. Most other tools set the size to 92 -- size of
the actual header itself excluding the padding. Most tools check
the recorded HeaderSize when verifying CRC, but gptfdisk hardcodes
92 and thus reports CRC verification problems for full-disk vdevs
created IE with `zpool create pool sdc`.
This commit changes libefi's behavior for GPT creation and also
fixes several edge cases where libefi's behavior was similar
(though in an incompatible manner) to gptfdisk. Libefi assumed
HeaderSize was always 512 even if the GPT recorded a different
value. Sanity checks of the GPT headersize read from disk were
added before applying checksum calculation -- this will prevent
segfault in cases of bogus on-disk values.
