Boris Protopopov 9d02f9557f Add support for asynchronous zvol minor operations
zfsonlinux issue #2217 - zvol minor operations: check snapdev
property before traversing snapshots of a dataset

zfsonlinux issue #3681 - lock order inversion between zvol_open()
and dsl_pool_sync()...zvol_rename_minors()

Create a per-pool zvol taskq for asynchronous zvol tasks.
There are a few key design decisions to be aware of.

* Each taskq must be single threaded to ensure tasks are always
  processed in the order in which they were dispatched.

* There is a taskq per-pool in order to keep the pools independent.
  This way if one pool is suspended it will not impact another.

* The preferred location to dispatch a zvol minor task is a sync
  task.  In this context there is easy access to the spa_t and
  minimal error handling is required because the sync task must
  succeed.

Support for asynchronous zvol minor operations address issue #3681.

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
