This patch addresses multiple 'zpool import' block device indentification problems which are most likely to occur on a system configured to use blkid, by_vdev paths, multipath and failover. The symptom most commonly observed is the import uses different path names to import the pool than would normally be expected. * When using blkid to identify vdevs the listed devices may be added to the cache in any order. In order to apply the preferred search order heuristic a zfs_path_order() function was added to calculate the order given full path names. * Since it's possible to have multiple block devices with different vdev guids which refer to the same ZPOOL_CONFIG_PATH the slice cache must be indexed by guid and name. By avoiding collisions the preferred ordering can be maintaining even when multiple block devices claim the same ZPOOL_CONFIG_PATH. The preferred sorting by partition was never benefitial for a Linux system and was removed as part of this change. * When adding entries to the blkid cache avl_find/avl_insert are used instead of avl_add because collisions are possible and must be handled gracefully. * For pools using multipath devices there are, at a minimum, three devices where a vdev label may be read. They are the dm-* device and each underlying /dev/sd* device. Due to the way the block cache is implemented each of these devices may have a different cached copy of the vdev label. This can result in "ghost pools" which appear to persist even after a 'zpool labelclear' has been done to the dm-* device. In order to prevent this the vdev label is read with O_DIRECT in order to bypass any caching to get the on-disk version. * When opening a block device verify that vdev guid read from the disk matches the expected vdev guid. This allows for bad labels to be filtered out. Reviewed-by: Tony Hutter <hutter2@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #5359 |

Native ZFS for Linux!
ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.
ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete. It includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.
Full documentation for installing ZoL on your favorite Linux distribution can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
