As described in flags section of open(2):
O_APPEND:
The file is opened in append mode. Before each write(2), the
file offset is positioned at the end of the file, as if with
lseek(2). O_APPEND may lead to corrupted files on NFS filesys-
tems if more than one process appends data to a file at once.
This is because NFS does not support appending to a file, so the
client kernel has to simulate it, which can't be done without a
race condition.
This issue was originally overlooked because normally the generic
VFS code handles this for a filesystem. However, because ZFS explictly
registers a zpl_write() function it's responsible for the seek.

When loading the ZFS kernel modules they should not populate the
spa namespace using the cache file. This behavior isn't consistent
with other Linux kernel modules and we need to move away from it.
Removing this makes the whole startup process predictable with four
basic steps which are driven by the init system.
1) modprobe
2) zpool import
3) zfs mount
4) zfs share
This change also helps lay the groundwork for eventually removing
the kobj_* compatibility code on the kernel side. It may need to
be preserved in userspace because libzfs_init() depends on it.
This is why the conditional must be wrapped with an #ifdef _KERNEL.

When a bad DVA is encountered in metaslab_free_dva() the system
should treat it as fatal. This indicates that somehow a damaged
DVA was written to disk and that should be impossible.
However, we have seen a handful of reports over the years of pools
somehow being damaged in this way. Since this damage can render
otherwise intact pools unimportable, and the consequence of skipping
the bad DVA is only leaked free space, it makes sense to provide
a mechanism to ignore the bad DVA. Setting the zfs_recover=1 module
option will cause the DVA to be ignored which may allow the pool to
be imported.
Since zfs_recover=0 by default any pool attempting to free a bad DVA
will treat it as a fatal error preserving the current behavior.

Normally when importing a pool the space maps for all top level
vdevs are read from disk. The space maps will be required latter
when an allocation is performed and free blocks need to be located.
However, if the pool is imported readonly then we are guaranteed
that no allocations can occur. In this case the space maps need
not be loaded.. A similar argument can be made for the DTLs
(dirty time logs).
Because a pool import will fail if the space maps cannot be read.
The ability to safely ignore them makes it more likely that a
damaged pool can be imported readonly to recover its contents.

The functions sa_find_sizes() and sa_build_layout() fail to account
for the additional 2 bytes of SA header space when calculating whether
a variable size attribute might spill over. They may consequently
determine that an attribute will fit in the bonus buffer along with a
spill block pointer, when in reality the attribute would be partially
overwritten by the spill block pointer if spill over occurs. This also
causes an inconsistency between the SA header size and the number of
variable size attributes in the layout, tripping an assertion when
debugging is on. The following reproducer demonstrates the problem.
ln -s $(perl -e 'print "z" x 20') file
setfattr -h -n trusted.foo -v $(perl -e 'print "z" x 200') file
Even though sa_find_sizes() computes the index of the attribute where
spill-over will occur, sa_build_layouts() discards the result and
recomputes it itself. As it turns out, both functions get it wrong.
Since this computation is awkward and, as history has shown, easy to
screw up, let's just do it in one place. This patch fixes the bug in
sa_find_sizes() and updates sa_build_layout() to use the result
computed there.
Also improve the comments in sa_find_sizes().

Commit log from FreeBSD:
We have observed that arc_release() can be called concurrently with a
l2arc in-flight write. Also, we have observed that arc_hdr_destroy()
can be called from arc_write_done() for a zio with ZIO_FLAG_IO_REWRITE
flag in similar circumstances.
Previously the l2arc headers would be freed while leaking their
associated compression buffers. Now the buffers are placed on
l2arc_free_on_write list for delayed freeing. This is similar to
what was already done to arc buffers that were supposed to be freed
concurrently with in-flight writes of those buffers.
In addition to fixing the discovered leaks this change also adds
some protective code to assert that a compression buffer associated
with a l2arc header is never leaked.
A new kstat l2_cdata_free_on_write is added. It keeps a count
of delayed compression buffer frees which previously would have
been leaks.

The zil_itx_create() function uses the vmem_alloc() allocator for
its buffers because when logging a write that buffer may be as large
as 64K. This is non-optimal because we may need to allocate many of
of these buffers and this interface has the potential to be slow.
Instead, use zio_data_buf_alloc() which is specifically designed to
be able to efficiently allocate a wide range of buffer sizes.
In addition, do some cleanup and use the zil_itx_destroy() function
to always free an itx structure. This way we're always sure the
right allocation functions are used. Notice that in the current
code kmem_free() and vmem_free() were both used. This happened to
work because these wrappers map to the same internal SPL function.
This was identified as a potential problem when a low-end memory
constrained system began logging the following warnings. There
was no deadlock here just repeated allocation failures resulting
in increased latency.

The SA spill_cache was originally introduced to avoid the need to
perform large kmem or vmem allocations. Instead a small dedicated
cache of preallocated SA buffers was kept.
This solution was viable while the maximum block size was limited
to 128K. But with the planned increase of the maximum block size
to 16M callers need to migrate to the zio_buf_alloc(). However,
they should be aware this interface is expected to change again
once the zio buffers are fully backed by scatter-gather lists.
Alternately, if the callers know these buffers will never be large
or be infrequently accessed they may kmem_alloc() or vmem_alloc()
the needed temporary space.
This change has the additional benegit of bringing the code back
inline with the upstream Illumos source.

By marking DMU transaction processing contexts with PF_FSTRANS
we can revert the KM_PUSHPAGE -> KM_SLEEP changes. This brings

swapping the flags back. For others fnvlist_alloc() was replaced
by nvlist_alloc(..., KM_PUSHPAGE) and must be reverted back to

The one place KM_PUSHPAGE is kept is when allocating ARC buffers
which allows us to dip in to reserved memory. This is again the

A careful reader will notice that not all callers have been changed

The initial port of ZFS to Linux required a way to identify virtual
memory to make IO to virtual memory backed slabs work, so kmem_virt()

was later dropped and more recently, support for kernels before Linux
2.6.32 has been dropped. We retire kmem_virt() in favor of

Closes#2988
Older versions of GCC (e.g. GCC 4.4.7 on RHEL6) do not allow duplicate
typedef declarations with the same type. The trace.h header contains
some typedefs to avoid 'unknown type' errors for C files that haven't
declared the type in question. But this causes build failures for C
files that have already declared the type. Newer versions of GCC (e.g.
v4.6) allow duplicate typedefs with the same type unless pedantic error
checking is in force. To support the older versions we need to remove
the duplicate typedefs.
Removal of the typedefs means we can't built tracepoints code using
those types unless the required headers have been included. To
facilitate this, all tracepoint event declarations have been moved out
of trace.h into separate headers. Each new header is explicitly included
from the C file that uses the events defined therein. The trace.h header
is still indirectly included form zfs_context.h and provides the
implementation of the dprintf(), dbgmsg(), and SET_ERROR() interfaces.
This makes those interfaces readily available throughout the code base.
The macros that redefine DTRACE_PROBE* to use Linux tracepoints are also
still provided by trace.h, so it is a prerequisite for the other
trace_*.h headers.
These new Linux implementation-specific headers do introduce a small
divergence from upstream ZFS in several core C files, but this should
not present a significant maintenance burden.

Fix a few cases where null-byte termination of strings was done
unnecessarily or incorrectly.
- The snprintf() function always produces a null-byte terminated string
for non-negative return values, so it is not necessary to write out a
null-byte as a separate step.
- Also, it is unsafe to use the return value of snprintf() as an offset
for placing a null-byte, because if the output was truncated the return
value is the number of bytes that _would_ have been written had enough
space been available. Therefore the return value may index beyond the
array boundaries.
- Finally, snprintf() accounts for the null-byte when limiting its output
size, so there is no need to pass it a size parameter that is one less
than the buffer size.

When processing async destroys ZFS would leak space every txg timeout
(5 seconds by default), if no writes occurred, until the pool is totally
full. At this point it would be unfixable without a pool recreation.
In addition if the machine was rebooted with the pool in this situation
would fail to import on boot, hanging indefinitely, as the import process
requires the ability to write data to the pool. Any attempts to query
the pool status during the hung import would not return as the import
holds the pool lock.
The only way to import such a pool would be to specify -o readonly=on
to the zpool import.
zdb -bb <pool> can be used to check for "deferred free" size which is
where this lost space will be counted.

If a spill block's dbuf hasn't yet been written when a spill block is
freed, the unwritten version will still be written. This patch handles
the case in which a spill block's dbuf is freed and undirties it to
prevent it from being written.
The most common case in which this could happen is when xattr=sa is being
used and a long xattr is immediately replaced by a short xattr as in:
setfattr -n user.test -v very_very_very..._long_value <file>
setfattr -n user.test -v short_value <file>
The first value must be sufficiently long that a spill block is generated
and the second value must be short enough to not require a spill block.
In practice, this would typically happen due to internal xattr operations
as a result of setting acltype=posixacl.

This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux
code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync
with Illumos.
The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of
reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding,
etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to
export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a
number of reasons:
* A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints
"automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap)
* Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled
* It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of
information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too.
Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well:
* Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed
modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported.
Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this
patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel;
exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules.
* Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux
tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules
(tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint).
Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to
loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or
newer.
Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an
example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes
(all commands run as 'root'):

To highlight the kind of detailed information that is being exported
using this infrastructure, I've taken the first tracepoint line from the
output above and reformatted it such that it fits in 80 columns:

For the specific tracepoint shown here, 'zfs_arc__miss', data is
exported detailing the arc_buf_hdr_t (hdr), blkptr_t (bp), and
zbookmark_t (zb) that caused the ARC miss (down to the exact DVA!).
This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable
when trying to answer certain kinds of questions.
For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS
source code along with the following three web links to be extremely
helpful:
* http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/
I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch:
* The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to
support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the
contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is
provided, conftest.h will be empty.
* The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced.
This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro,
except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as
the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE.
These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux
tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro
API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used
internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file).
* The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This
is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint
functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code
due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without
this check, the build process will fail at link time.
In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well.
To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory
and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The
dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as
well.

Fix a few dprintf format specifiers that disagreed with their argument
types. These came to light as compiler errors when converting dprintf
to use the Linux trace buffer. Previously this wasn't a problem,
presumably because the SPL debug logging uses vsnprintf which must
perform automatic type conversion.

Due to evidence of contention both the buf_hash_table and the
dbuf_hash_table sizes have been increased from 256 to 8192.
This increase in hash table size adds approximating 0.5M to
our fixed memory footprint. This relatively small increase
is not expected to cause problems even on low memory machines.
This footprint will also become dynamic when the persistent
L2ARC support is finalized. In the meanwhile, this small
change significantly reduces contention for certain workloads.

The new shrinker API as of Linux 3.12 modifies "struct shrinker" by
replacing the @shrink callback with the pair of @count_objects and
@scan_objects. It also requires the return value of @count_objects to
return the number of objects actually freed whereas the previous @shrink
callback returned the number of remaining freeable objects.
This patch adds support for the new @scan_objects return value semantics.

The metaslab_fragmentation() hunk was dropped from this patch
because it was already resolved by commit 8b0a084.
The comment modified in metaslab.c was updated to use the correct
variable name, space_map_blksz. The upstream commit incorrectly
used space_map_blksize.

The general strategy used by ZFS to verify that blocks are valid is
to checksum everything. This has the advantage of being extremely
robust and generically applicable regardless of the contents of
the block. If a blocks checksum is valid then its contents are
trusted by the higher layers.
This system works exceptionally well as long as bad data is never
written with a valid checksum. If this does somehow occur due to
a software bug or a memory bit-flip on a non-ECC system it may
result in kernel panic.
One such place where this could occur is if somehow the logical
size stored in a block pointer exceeds the maximum block size.
This will result in an attempt to allocate a buffer greater than
the maximum block size causing a system panic.
To prevent this from happening the arc_read() function has been
updated to detect this specific case. If a block pointer with an
invalid logical size is passed it will treat the block as if it
contained a checksum error.

The Linux VFS handles mandatory locks generically so we shouldn't
need to check for conflicting locks in zfs_read(), zfs_write(), or
zfs_freesp(). Linux 3.18 removed the lock_may_read() and
lock_may_write() interfaces which we were relying on for this
purpose. Rather than emulating those interfaces we remove the
redundant checks.
