3c208a5480 Cleanly support debug packages
Allow a source rpm to be rebuilt with debugging enabled.  This
avoids the need to have to manually modify the spec file.  By
default debugging is still largely disabled.  To enable specific
debugging features use the following options with rpmbuild.

  '--with debug'               - Enables ASSERTs
  '--with debug-log'           - Enables the internal debug log
  '--with debug-kmem'          - Enables basic memory accounting
  '--with debug-kmem-tracking' - Enables detailed memory tracking

  # For example:
  $ rpmbuild --rebuild --with debug spl-modules-0.6.0-rc6.src.rpm

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.

New SSDs are now available which use an internal 8k block size.
To make sure ZFS can get the maximum performance out of these

This value is still small enough that we can fit 16 uberblocks

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.

cb2d19010d Support the fallocate() file operation.
Currently only the (FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) flag combination is
supported, since it's the only one that matches the behavior of
zfs_space(). This makes it pretty much useless in its current
form, but it's a start.

To support other flag combinations we would need to modify
zfs_space() to make it more flexible, or emulate the desired
functionality in zpl_fallocate().

5cb63a57f8 Implement the truncate_range() inode operation.
This operation allows "hole punching" in ZFS files. On Solaris this
is done via the vop_space() system call, which maps to the zfs_space()
function. So we just need to write zpl_truncate_range() as a wrapper
around zfs_space().

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

This is currently an insecure implementation without permission
checking, although this isn't that big of a deal since truncate_range()
isn't even callable from userspace.

93648f314c Fix zconfig.sh non-optimal alignment
The recent zvol improvements have changed default suggested alignment
for zvols from 512b (default) to 8k (zvol blocksize).  Because of this
the zconfig.sh tests which create paritions are now generating a
warning about non-optimal alignments.

This change updates the need zconfig.sh tests such that a partition
will be properly aligned.  In the process, it shifts from using the
sfdisk utility to the parted utility to create partitions.  It also
moves the creation of labels, partitions, and filesystems in to
generic functions in common.sh.in.

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.

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.

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.

4b2220f0b9 Add --enable-debug-log configure option
Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s.  This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart.  The result of this
is the following behavior.

--enable-debug      - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug       ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
                      are never required for correct operation.
                      They are disabled by default because they
                      may impact performance.

--enable-debug-log  - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log   This infrastructure allows the spl code and
                      its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
                      log.  The granularity of the logging can be
                      controlled by a debug mask.  By default the
                      mask disables most debug messages resulting
                      in a negligible performance impact.  Because
                      of this the debug log is enabled by default.

d7e398ce1a Cleanup ZFS debug infrastructure
Historically the internal zfs debug infrastructure has been

* Remove the existing unused functionality in zfs_debug.c and
  replace it with code which correctly utilized the spl logging
  infrastructure.

* Remove the __dprintf() function from zfs_ioctl.c.  This is
  dead code, the dprintf() functionality in the kernel relies
  on the spl log support.

* Remove dprintf() from hdr_recl().  This wasn't particularly
  useful and was missing the required format specifier anyway.

* Subsequent patches should unify the dprintf() and zfs_dbgmsg()
  functions.

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.

If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become

0bb43ca282 Revert "Taskq locking optimizations"
This reverts commit ec2b41049f.

A race condition was introduced by which a wake_up() call can be lost
after the taskq thread determines there is no pending work items,
leading to deadlock:

1. taksq thread enables interrupts
2. dispatcher thread runs, queues work item, call wake_up()
3. taskq thread runs, adds self to waitq, sleeps

This could easily happen if an interrupt for an IO completion was
outstanding at the point where the taskq thread reenables interrupts,
just before the call to add_wait_queue_exclusive().  The handler would
run immediately within the race window.

If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq outside of tq_lock

Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if there

calls can be made outside of the taskq lock since the wait queues are
protected from concurrent access by their own spinlocks.

3) Call wake_up() outside of tq->tq_lock

Again, the wait queues are protected by their own spinlock, so the
dispatcher functions can drop tq->tq_lock before calling wake_up().

A new splat test taskq:contention was added in a prior commit to measure
the impact of these changes.  The following table summarizes the

Each row reflects the average result over 5 test runs.
/proc/lock_stats was zeroed out before and collected after each run.
Column 1 is the cumulative hold time in microseconds for tq->tq_lock.
The tests are cumulative; each row reflects the code changes of the
previous rows.  %diff is calculated with respect to "original" as
100*(orig-new)/orig.

Although calling wake_up() outside of the taskq lock dramatically
reduced the taskq lock hold time, the test actually took slightly more
wall clock time.  This is because the point of contention shifts from
the taskq lock to the wait queue lock.  But the change still seems
worthwhile since it removes our taskq implementation as a bottleneck,
assuming the small increase in wall clock time to be statistical
noise.

cf5d23fa1e Add taskq contention splat test
Add a test designed to generate contention on the taskq spinlock by
using a large number of threads (100) to perform a large number (131072)
of trivial work items from a single queue.  This simulates conditions
that may occur with the zio free taskq when a 1TB file is removed from a
ZFS filesystem, for example.  This test should always pass.  Its purpose
is to provide a benchmark to easily measure the effectiveness of taskq
optimizations using statistics from the kernel lock profiler.

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.

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.

a8783adf24 Increase link count limit to 2^31-1
Originally, the per-file link limit was set to 65536 because the
exact Linux VFS limit was unclear.  Internally ZFS is able to
support 64-bit link counts.  After a more careful investigation
the limit can be safely raised to 2^31-1.

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.

166dd49de0 Linux 3.2 compat, security_inode_init_security()
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
and the EVM xattr.

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
autoconf test has been made more rigerous by passing the expected
types.  This is done to ensure we always properly the detect the
correct form for the security_inode_init_security() API.
