Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.
Distribution | Kernel | End of Life
---------------- | ------ | -------------
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017
SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019
RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020
The following changes were made as part of removing support.
* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).
configure: error:
*** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
*** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.
* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.
* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.
* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
legacy interface.
* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in
the same fashion, but this as left as future work.
- config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
- config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
- config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks
* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused.

We've seen cases where after creating a ZVOL, the ZVOL device node in
"/dev" isn't generated after 20 seconds of waiting, which is the point
at which our applications gives up on waiting and reports an error.
The workload when this occurs is to "refresh" 400+ ZVOLs roughly at the
same time, based on a policy set by the user. This refresh operation
will destroy the ZVOL, and re-create it based on a snapshot.
When this occurs, we see many hundreds of entries on the "z_zvol" taskq
(based on inspection of the /proc/spl/taskq-all file). Many of the
entries on the taskq end up in the "zvol_remove_minors_impl" function,
and I've measured the latency of that function:
Function = zvol_remove_minors_impl
msecs : count distribution
0 -> 1 : 0 | |
2 -> 3 : 0 | |
4 -> 7 : 1 | |
8 -> 15 : 0 | |
16 -> 31 : 0 | |
32 -> 63 : 0 | |
64 -> 127 : 1 | |
128 -> 255 : 45 |****************************************|
256 -> 511 : 5 |**** |
That data is from a 10 second sample, using the BCC "funclatency" tool.
As we can see, in this 10 second sample, most calls took 128ms at a
minimum. Thus, some basic math tells us that in any 20 second interval,
we could only process at most about 150 removals, which is much less
than the 400+ that'll occur based on the workload.
As a result of this, and since all ZVOL minor operations will go through
the single threaded "z_zvol" taskq, the latency for creating a single
ZVOL device can be unreasonably large due to other ZVOL activity on the
system. In our case, it's large enough to cause the application to
generate an error and fail the operation.
When profiling the "zvol_remove_minors_impl" function, I saw that most
of the time in the function was spent off-cpu, blocked in the function
"taskq_wait_outstanding". How this works, is "zvol_remove_minors_impl"
will dispatch calls to "zvol_free" using the "system_taskq", and then
the "taskq_wait_outstanding" function is used to wait for all of those
dispatched calls to occur before "zvol_remove_minors_impl" will return.
As far as I can tell, "zvol_remove_minors_impl" doesn't necessarily have
to wait for all calls to "zvol_free" to occur before it returns. Thus,
this change removes the call to "taskq_wait_oustanding", so that calls
to "zvol_free" don't affect the latency of "zvol_remove_minors_impl".
