Brian Behlendorf 99ea23c583 Enhance a dmu_tx_dirty_buf() assertion
The following assertion is good to validate the correctness of
new DMU consumers, but it doesn't quite provide enough information.
Slightly rework the assertion so that when it is hit the actual
offending values will be included in the output.

  SPLError: 4787:0:(dmu_tx.c:828:dmu_tx_dirty_buf())
  ASSERTION(dn == NULL || dn->dn_assigned_txg == tx->tx_txg) failed

Brian Behlendorf 9ed86e7cc7 Account for .zfs ctldir inodes
Because the .zfs ctldir inodes are not backed by physical storage
they use a different create path which was not properly accounting
for them as used.  This could result in ->nr_cached_objects()
returning 0 and cause a divide by zero error in prune_super().

In my option there's a kernel bug here too which allows this to
happen.  They should either be checking for 0 or adding +1 like
they correctly do earlier in the function.

Brian Behlendorf ebe7e575ea Add .zfs control directory
Add support for the .zfs control directory.  This was accomplished
by leveraging as much of the existing ZFS infrastructure as posible
and updating it for Linux as required.  The bulk of the core
functionality is now all there with the following limitations.

*) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37
   or newer kernel.  The exception is RHEL6.2 which has backported
   the d_automount patches.

*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
   in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected.  However,
   this functionality is only available to root until zfs
   delegations are finished.

      * mkdir - create a snapshot
      * rmdir - destroy a snapshot
      * mv    - rename a snapshot

The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.

*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37.  This should
   be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.

*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
   The majority of the ground work for this is complete.  However,
   finishing this work will require resolving some lingering
   integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server.

*) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality
   has yet been implemented.

Add a standard zio constructor and destructor.  Normally, this is

This patch doesn't fix the root cause of the race, but it should
make it less likely by only initializing the mutex once in the
constructor.  Also, this particular flaw might have gone unnoticed
in other zfs implementations due to the specific implementation
details of Linux ticket spinlocks.

Once the real root cause is determined and resolved this change
can be safely reverted.  Until then this should help workaround
the issue.

Brian Behlendorf c8df41538d Revert "Add zio constructor/destructor"
This patch was slightly flawed and allowed for zio->io_logical
to potentially not be reinitialized for a new zio.  This could
lead to assertion failures in specific cases when debugging is

Ned Bass 613d88eda8 Align parition end on 1 MiB boundary
Some devices have exhibited sensitivity to the ending alignment of
partitions.  In particular, even if the first partition begins at 1
MiB, we have seen many sd driver task abort errors with certain SSDs
if the first partition doesn't end on a 1 MiB boundary.  This occurs
when the vdev label is read during pool creation or importation and
causes a delay of about 30 seconds per device.  It can also be
simulated with dd when the pool isn't imported:

  dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=262144 count=1

For the record, this problem was observed with SMARTMOD
SG9XCA2E200GE01 200GB SSDs.  Unfortunately I don't have a good
explanation for this behavior. It seems to have something to do with
highly fragmented single-sector requests being issued to the device,
which it may not support.  With end-aligned partitions at least
page-sized requests were queued and issued to the driver according
to blktrace. In any case, aligning the partition end is a fairly
innocuous work-around, wasting at most 1 MiB of space.

Brian Behlendorf ec2626ad3f Use SA_HDL_PRIVATE for SA xattrs
A private SA handle must be used to ensure we can drop the dbuf
hold on the spill block prior to calling dmu_tx_commit().  If we
call dmu_tx_commit() before sa_handle_destroy(), then our hold
will trigger a copy of the dbuf to be made.  This is done to
prevent data from leaking in to the syncing txg.  As a result
the original dirty spill block will remain cached.

Additionally, relying on the shared zp->z_sa_hdl is unsafe in
the xattr context because the znode may be asynchronously dropped
from the cache.  It's far safer and simpler just to use a private
handle for xattrs.  Plus any additional overhead is offset by
the avoidance of the previously mentioned memory copy.

These forever dirty buffers can be noticed in the arcstats under
the anon_size.  On a quiescent system the value should be zero.
Without this fix and a SA xattr write workload you will see
anon_size increase.  Eventually, if enough dirty data builds up
your system it will appear to hang.  This occurs because the dmu
won't allow new txs to be assigned until that dirty data is
flushed, and it won't be because it's not part of an assigned tx.

As an aside, I typically see anon_size lurk around 16k so I think
there is another place in the code which needs a similar fix.
However, this value doesn't grow over time so it isn't critical.

Ned Bass 3a4f6caf08 Return success from check_slice() if device doesn't exist
When creating a new pool, make_root_vdev() calls check_in_use() to
ensure that none of the consituent disks are in use.  If the disk
contains a valid vdev label it is read to retrieve the list of its
child vdevs and these are checked recursively.  However, the
partitions stored in the vdev label my no longer exist, for example
if the partition table has since been altered.  In any such case we
would want the pool creation to proceed, so this change removes the
check from check_slice() that returns an error if the device doesn't
exist.  As an added assurance, the Solaris implementation also
returns sucess on ENOENT.

Etienne Dechamps 30930fba21 Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.
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.

function. So we just need to write zpl_truncate_range() as a wrapper

Note that this only works for regular files, not ZVOLs.

This is currently an insecure implementation without permission

Etienne Dechamps dde9380a1b Use 32 as the default number of zvol threads.
Currently, the `zvol_threads` variable, which controls the number of worker
threads which process items from the ZVOL queues, is set to the number of
available CPUs.

This choice seems to be based on the assumption that ZVOL threads are
CPU-bound. This is not necessarily true, especially for synchronous writes.
Consider the situation described in the comments for `zil_commit()`, which is
called inside `zvol_write()` for synchronous writes:

> itxs are committed in batches. In a heavily stressed zil there will be a
> commit writer thread who is writing out a bunch of itxs to the log for a
> set of committing threads (cthreads) in the same batch as the writer.
> Those cthreads are all waiting on the same cv for that batch.
>
> There will also be a different and growing batch of threads that are
> waiting to commit (qthreads). When the committing batch completes a
> transition occurs such that the cthreads exit and the qthreads become
> cthreads. One of the new cthreads becomes he writer thread for the batch.
> Any new threads arriving become new qthreads.

We can easily deduce that, in the case of ZVOLs, there can be a maximum of
`zvol_threads` cthreads and qthreads. The default value for `zvol_threads` is
typically between 1 and 8, which is way too low in this case. This means
there will be a lot of small commits to the ZIL, which is very inefficient
compared to a few big commits, especially since we have to wait for the data
to be on stable storage. Increasing the number of threads will increase the
amount of data waiting to be commited and thus the size of the individual
commits.

On my system, in the context of VM disk image storage (lots of small
synchronous writes), increasing `zvol_threads` from 8 to 32 results in a 50%
increase in sequential synchronous write performance.

We should choose a more sensible default for `zvol_threads`. Unfortunately
the optimal value is difficult to determine automatically, since it depends
on the synchronous write latency of the underlying storage devices. In any
case, a hardcoded value of 32 would probably be better than the current
situation. Having a lot of ZVOL threads doesn't seem to have any real
downside anyway.

Etienne Dechamps 34037afe24 Improve ZVOL queue behavior.
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.

Etienne Dechamps b18019d2d8 Fix synchronicity for ZVOLs.
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.

Brian Behlendorf 0c5dde492f Allow multiple values per directory entry
When using zfs to back a Lustre filesystem it's advantageous to
to store a fid with the object id in the directory zap.  The only
technical impediment to doing this is that the zpl code expects
a single value in the zap per directory entry.

This change relaxes that requirement such that multiple entries
are allowed provided the first one is the object id.  The zpl
code will just ignore additional entries.  This allows the ZoL
count to mount datasets which are being used as Lustre server
backends.

Once the upstream feature flags support is merged in this change
should be updated to a read-only feature.  Until this occurs
other zfs implementations will not be able to read the zfs
filesystems created by Lustre.

Prakash Surya ff998d804f Ignore dataset if the dds_type is DMU_OST_OTHER
Since the zpios and potentially other ZFS tests use the
DMU_OST_OTHER type to label their datasets, the zpool and
zfs commands should gracefully handle this type when it is
encountered.  This patch modifies the commands' behavior
to ignore any datasets with a dds_type of DMU_OST_OTHER.

Brian Behlendorf b4b599d250 Fix rpm dependencies
This change updates the rpm spec files to have strictly correct
package dependencies.  That means a few things:

* The zfs-modules package is now tied to a specific build of
  the spl-modules packages based on the kernel version.  This
  ensures that the correct spl-modules packages will always get
  installed and not just the newest.

* The zfs package now requires both the zfs-modules and spl
  packages.  Thus a 'yum install zfs' will pull in the minimal
  set of packages required for a functional system.

* The zfs-devel packages now require the zfs package to be
  installed which is normal behavior for -devel packages.

* Remove the redundant distribution release extension.  This
  is already added once because it is part of the kernel package
  release name.

Commit zfsonlinux/zfs@57a4eddc4d
allows the bootfs property to be set on any pool, but does not
accommodate subsequent vdev changes. For example:

Darik Horn 750562833f Combine libraries: spl, avl, efi, share, unicode.
These libraries, which are an artifact of the ZoL development
process, conflict with packages that are already in distribution:

  * libspl: SPL Programming Language
  * libavl: AVL for Linux
  * libefi: GRUB

And these libraries are potential conflicts:

  * libshare: the Linux Mount Manager
  * libunicode: Perl and Python

Recompose these five ZoL components into the four libraries that are
conventionally provided by Solaris and FreeBSD systems:

  + libnvpair
  + libuutil
  + libzpool
  + libzfs

This change resolves the name conflict, makes ZoL more compatible
with existing software that uses autotools to detect ZFS, and allows
pkg-zfs to better reflect the official Debian kFreeBSD packaging.

Ned Bass 08d08ebba2 Reduce number of zio free threads
As described in Issue #458 and #258, unlinking large amounts of data
can cause the threads in the zio free wait queue to start spinning.
Reducing the number of z_fr_iss threads from a fixed value of 100 to 1
per cpu signficantly reduces contention on the taskq spinlock and
improves throughput.

Instrumenting the taskq code showed that __taskq_dispatch() can spend
a long time holding tq->tq_lock if there are a large number of threads
in the queue.  It turns out the time spent in wake_up() scales
linearly with the number of threads in the queue.  When a large number
of short work items are dispatched, as seems to be the case with
unlink, the worker threads drain the queue faster than the dispatcher
can fill it.  They then all pile into the work wait queue to wait for
new work items.  So if 100 threads are in the queue, wake_up() takes
about 100 times as long, and the woken threads have to spin until the
dispatcher releases the lock.

Reducing the number of threads helps with the symptoms, but doesn't
get to the root of the problem.  It would seem that wake_up()
shouldn't scale linearly in time with queue depth, particularly if we
are only trying to wake up one thread.  In that vein, I tried making
all of the waiting processes exclusive to prevent the scheduler from
iterating over the entire list, but I still saw the linear time
scaling.  So further investigation is needed, but in the meantime
reducing the thread count is an easy workaround.

Suman Chakravartula e18be9a637 Add overlay(-O) mount option support
Linux supports mounting over non-empty directories by default.
In Solaris this is not the case and -O option is required for
zfs mount to mount a zfs filesystem over a non-empty directory.

For compatibility, I've added support for -O option to mount
zfs filesystems over non-empty directories if the user wants
to, just like in Solaris.

I've defined MS_OVERLAY to record it in the flags variable if
the -O option is supplied.  The flags variable passes through
a few functions and its checked before performing the empty
directory check in zfs_mount function.  If -O is given, the
check is not performed.

The security_inode_init_security() API has been changed to include
a filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This was done to support the initialization of multiple LSM xattrs

This change updates the code to use the new API when it's available.
Otherwise it falls back to the previous implementation.

In addition, the ZFS_AC_KERNEL_6ARGS_SECURITY_INODE_INIT_SECURITY
