Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.
* The txg_sync thread
* The zvol write/discard threads
* The zpl_putpage() VFS callback
This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages. If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system. To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.
Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread. However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA. This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.
This is patch lays the ground work for being able to safely revert the
following commits which used PF_MEMALLOC:
21ade34 Disable direct reclaim for z_wr_* threads
cfc9a5c Fix zpl_writepage() deadlock
eec8164 Fix ASSERTION(!dsl_pool_sync_context(tx->tx_pool))

Issue #726
When calling sa_update() and friends it is possible that a spill
buffer will be needed to accomidate the update. When this happens
a hold is taken on the new dbuf and that hold must be released
before calling dmu_tx_commit(). Failing to release the hold will
cause a copy of the dbuf to be made in dbuf_sync_leaf(). This is
done to ensure further updates to the dbuf never sneak in to the
syncing txg.
This could be left to the sa_update() caller. But then the caller
would need to be aware of this internal SA implementation detail.
It is therefore preferable to handle this all internally in the
SA implementation.

Add a SA interface which allows us to release the spill block
from a SA handle without destroying the handle. This is useful
because we can then ensure that a copy of the dirty spill block
is not made at sync time due to the extra hold. Susequent calls
to sa_update() or sa_lookup() with transparently refetch the
spill block dbuf from the ARC hash.

The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden
directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name
and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is
very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However,
it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing
a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks.
1) Lookup the dnode object.
2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object.
3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory.
To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3
and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When
the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external
block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small
and this approach works well.
The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean
way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa'
is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes.
This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and
up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional
xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be
stored using the traditional directory approach.
This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement
when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4
and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file
the performance improvements are even greater because all of the
xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached.
However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port
to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do
enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms
which do not support this feature.

Issue #443
When calculating space needed for SA_BONUS buffers, hdrsize is
always rounded up to next 8-aligned boundary. However, in two places
the round up was done against sum of 'total' plus hdrsize. On the
other hand, hdrsize increments by 4 each time, which means in certain
conditions, we would end up returning with will_spill == 0 and
(total + hdrsize) larger than full_space, leading to a failed
assertion because it's invalid for dmu_set_bonus.

Closes#426
Export all the symbols for the system attribute (SA) API. This
allows external module to cleanly manipulate the SAs associated
with a dnode. Documention for the SA API can be found in the
module/zfs/sa.c source.
This change also removes the zfs_sa_uprade_pre, and
zfs_sa_uprade_post prototypes. The functions themselves were
dropped some time ago.

Basic compilation of the bulk of zfs_znode.c has been enabled. After
much consideration it was decided to convert the existing vnode based
interfaces to more friendly Linux interfaces. The following commits
will systematically replace update the requiter interfaces. There
are of course pros and cons to this decision.
Pros:
* This simplifies intergration with Linux in the long term. There is
no longer any need to manage vnodes which are a foreign concept to
the Linux VFS.
* Improved long term maintainability.
* Minor performance improvements by removing vnode overhead.
Cons:
* Added work in the short term to modify multiple ZFS interfaces.
* Harder to pull in changes if we ever see any new code from Solaris.
* Mixed Solaris and Linux interfaces in some ZFS code.
This topic branch contains all the changes needed to integrate the user
side zfs tools with Linux style devices. Primarily this includes fixing
up the Solaris libefi library to be Linux friendly, and integrating with
the libblkid library which is provided by e2fsprogs.
