dnl # 3.5.0 API change
dnl # torvalds/linux@dbd5768f87ff6fb0a4fe09c4d7b6c4a24de99430 and
dnl # torvalds/linux@7994e6f7254354e03028a11f98a27bd67dace9f1 reworked
dnl # where inode_sync_wait() is called.
dnl #
dnl # Prior to these changes it would occur in end_writeback() but due
dnl # to various issues (described in the above commits) it has been
dnl # moved to evict(). This changes the ordering is which sync occurs
dnl # but otherwise doesn't impact the zpl implementation.
dnl #
dnl # The major impact here is the renaming of end_writeback() to
dnl # clear_inode(). However, care must be taken when detecting this
dnl # API change because as recently as 2.6.35 there was a clear_inode()
dnl # function. However, it was made obsolete by the evict_inode() API
dnl # change at the same time.
dnl #
dnl # Therefore, to ensure we have the correct API we only allow the
dnl # clear_inode() compatibility code to be defined iff the evict_inode()
dnl # functionality is also detected.

Perform KABI checks in parallel Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled or not. By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k) option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled. Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file. Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process. New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases but it's use is not encouraged. master (secs) patched (secs) ------------- ---------------- autogen.sh 61 68 configure 137 24 (~17% of current run time) make -j $(nproc) 44 44 make rpms 287 150 Reviewed-by: Tony Hutter <hutter2@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #8547 Closes #9132 Closes #9341
