2b8cad6159 Use vmem_alloc() for zfs_ioc_userspace_many()
The default buffer size when requesting multiple quota entries
is 100 times the zfs_useracct_t size.  In practice this works out
to exactly 27200 bytes.  Since this will be a short lived buffer
in a non-performance critical path it is preferable to vmem_alloc()
the needed memory.

f01b360e67 Pass caller's credential in zfsdev_ioctl()
Initially when zfsdev_ioctl() was ported to Linux we didn't have
any credential support implemented.  So at the time we simply
passed NULL which wasn't much of a problem since most of the
secpolicy code was disabled.

However, one exception is quota handling which does require the
credential.  Now that proper credentials are supported we can
safely start passing the callers credential.  This is also an
initial step towards fully implemented the zfs secpolicy.

3fd70ee6b0 Fix 'negative objects to delete' warning
Normally when the arc_shrinker_func() function is called the return
value should be:

   >=0 - To indicate the number of freeable objects in the cache, or
   -1  - To indicate this cache should be skipped

However, when the shrinker callback is called with 'nr_to_scan' equal
to zero.  The caller simply wants the number of freeable objects in
the cache and we must never return -1.  This patch reorders the
first two conditionals in arc_shrinker_func() to ensure this behavior.

This patch also now explictly casts arc_size and arc_c_min to signed
int64_t types so MAX(x, 0) works as expected.  As unsigned types
we would never see an negative value which defeated the purpose of
the MAX() lower bound and broke the shrinker logic.

Finally, when nr_to_scan is non-zero we explictly prevent all reclaim
below arc_c_min.  This is done to prevent the Linux page cache from
completely crowding out the ARC.  This limit is tunable and some
experimentation is likely going to be required to set it exactly right.
For now we're sticking with the OpenSolaris defaults.

e814770f2e Update synchronous open zfs_close() comment
The comment in zfs_close() pertaining to decrementing the synchronous
open count needs to be updated for Linux.  The code was already
updated to be correct, but the comment was missed and is now misleading.
Under Linux the zfs_close() hook is only called once when the final
reference is dropped.  This differs from Solaris where zfs_close()
is called for each close.

aa6d8c1086 Don't store rdev in SA for FIFOs and sockets
Update the handling of named pipes and sockets to be consistent with
other platforms with regard to the rdev attribute.  While all ZFS
ipmlementations store the rdev for device files in a system attribute
(SA), this is not the case for FIFOs and sockets.  Indeed, Linux always
passes rdev=0 to mknod() for FIFOs and sockets, so the value is not
needed.  Add an ASSERT that rdev==0 for FIFOs and sockets to detect if
the expected behavior ever changes.

21ade34764 Disable direct reclaim for z_wr_* threads
The direct reclaim path in the z_wr_* threads must be disabled
to ensure forward progress is always maintained for txg processing.
This ensures that a txg will never get stuck waiting on itself
because it entered the following memory reclaim callpath.

  ->prune_icache()->dispose_list()->zpl_clear_inode()->zfs_inactive()
  ->dmu_tx_assign()->dmu_tx_wait()->tgx_wait_open()

It would be preferable to target this exact code path but the
kernel offers no way to do this without custom patches.  To avoid
this we are forced to disable all reclaim for these threads.  It
should not be necessary to do this for other other z_* threads
because they will not hold a txg open.

3117dd0b90 Handle NULL in nfsd .fsync() hook
How nfsd handles .fsync() has been changed a couple of times in the
recent kernels.  But basically there are three cases we need to
consider.

Linux 2.6.12 - 2.6.33
* The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments
* The nfsd will call .fsync() with a NULL file struct pointer.

Linux 2.6.34
* The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments
* The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode()

Linux 2.6.35 - 2.6.x
* The .fsync() hook takes 2 arguments
* The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode()

For once it looks like we've gotten lucky.  The first two cases can
actually be collased in to one if we stop using the file struct
pointer entirely.  Since the dentry is still passed in both cases
this is possible.  The last case can then be safely handled by
unconditionally using the dentry in the file struct pointer now
that we know the nfsd caller has been removed.

34b84cb831 Use vmem_alloc() for zfs_ioc_pool_get_history()
The default buffer size when requesting history is 128k.  This
is far to large for a kmem_alloc() so instead use the slower
vmem_alloc().  This path has no performance concerns and the
buffer is immediately free'd after its contents are copied to
the user space buffer.

5f35b19007 Fully update inode when created
When a new znode/inode pair is created both the znode and the inode
should be immediately updated to the correct values.  This was done
for the znode and for most of the values in the inode, but not all
of them.  This normally wasn't a problem because most subsequent
operations would cause the inode to be immediately updated.  This
change ensures the inode is now fully updated before it is inserted
in to the inode hash.

df554c148e Fix 'zfs set volsize=N pool/dataset'
This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing
a dataset which was not open.  The objset_t stored in the
zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed.
To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg.

The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel
when the block device capacity changes.  For 2.6.28 and newer
kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected.  For
earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the
device is next opened.  This is a known limitation of older
kernels.

Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023
$ zpool create tank /tmp/zvol
$ zfs create -V 500M tank/zd0
$ mkfs.ext3 /dev/zd0

40a39e1103 Conserve stack in dsl_scan_visit()
The dsl_scan_visit() function is a little heavy weight taking 464
bytes on the stack.  This can be easily reduced for little cost by
moving zap_cursor_t and zap_attribute_t off the stack and on to the
heap.  After this change dsl_scan_visit() has been reduced in size
by 320 bytes.

This change was made to reduce stack usage in the dsl_scan_sync()
callpath which is recursive and has been observed to overflow the
stack.

b81c4ac9af Conserve stack in dsl_scan_visitbp()
This function is called recursively so everything possible must be
done to limit its stack consumption.  The dprintf_bp() debugging
function adds 30 bytes of local variables to the function we cannot
afford.  By commenting out this debugging we save 30 bytes per
recursion and depths of 13 are not uncommon.  This yeilds a total
stack saving of 390 bytes on our 8k stack.

7a060636b0 Conserve stack in dsl_scan_visitbp()
The recursive call chain dsl_scan_visitbp() -> dsl_scan_recurse() ->
dsl_scan_visitdnode() -> dsl_scan_visitbp has been observed to consume
considerable stack resulting in a stack overflow (>8k).  The cleanest
way I see to fix this with minimal impact to the existing flow of
code, and with the fewest performance concerns, is to always inline
dsl_scan_recurse() and dsl_scan_visitdnode().  While this will increase
the function size of dsl_scan_visitbp(), by 4660 bytes, it also reduces
the stack requirements by removing the function call overhead.

701b1f8168 Fix zvol deadlock
It's possible for a zvol_write thread to enter direct memory reclaim
while holding open a transaction group.  This results in the system
attempting to write out data to the disk to free memory.  Unfortunately,
this can't succeed because the the thread doing reclaim is holding open
the txg which must be closed to be synced to disk.  To prevent this
the offending allocation is marked KM_PUSHPAGE which will prevent it
from attempting writeback.

6a8f9b6bf0 Enforce ARC meta-data limits
This change ensures the ARC meta-data limits are enforced.  Without
this enforcement meta-data can grow to consume all of the ARC cache
pushing out data and hurting performance.  The cache is aggressively
reclaimed but this is a soft and not a hard limit.  The cache may
exceed the set limit briefly before being brought under control.

By default 25% of the ARC capacity can be used for meta-data.  This
limit can be tuned by setting the 'zfs_arc_meta_limit' module option.
Once this limit is exceeded meta-data reclaim will occur in 3 percent
chunks, or may be tuned using 'arc_reduce_dnlc_percent'.

When compiling ZFS in user space gcc-4.6.0 correctly identifies

the code is correct we only want to use 'os' for the kernel space

actually never is NULL.  This was observed under Fedora 15.

7cb67b45f3 Add direct+indirect ARC reclaim
Under OpenSolaris all memory reclaim is done asyncronously.  Under
Linux memory reclaim is done asynchronously _and_ synchronously.
When a process allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL it explicitly allows
the kernel to do reclaim on its behalf to satify the allocation.
If that GFP_KERNEL allocation fails the kernel may take more drastic
measures to reclaim the memory such as killing user space processes.

This was observed to happen with ZFS because the ARC could consume
a large fraction of the system memory but no synchronous reclaim
could be performed on it.  The result was GFP_KERNEL allocations
could fail resulting in OOM events, and only moments latter the
arc_reclaim thread would free unused memory from the ARC.

This change leaves the arc_thread in place to manage the fundamental
ARC behavior.  But it adds a synchronous (direct) reclaim path for
the ARC which can be called when memory is badly needed.  It also
adds an asynchronous (indirect) reclaim path which is called
much more frequently to prune the ARC slab caches.

it is obviously not initialized at inode creation time, if a dentry

d433c20651 Fix make distclean for `./configure --with-config=user
Making distclean in module
    make[1]: Entering directory `/zfs/module'
    make -C  SUBDIRS=`pwd`  clean
    make: Entering an unknown directory
    make: *** SUBDIRS=/zfs/module: No such file or directory.  Stop.

When using --with-config=user the 'distclean' target would fail
because it assumes the kernel configuration infrastrure is set up.
This is not the case, nor does it need to be, because the
'--with-config=user' option will prune the entire ./module subtree
from SUBDIRS.  This prevents most build rules from operating in the
./module directory.

However, the 'dist*' rules will still traverse this directory
because it is listed in DIST_SUBDIRS.  This is correct because we
need to ensure the dist rules package the directory contents
regardless of the configuration for the 'dist' rule.  The correct
way to handle this is to only invoke the kernel build system as
part of the 'clean' rule when CONFIG_KERNEL_TRUE is set.

bfd214af01 Fix inflated load average
Kernel threads which sleep uninterruptibly on Linux are marked in the (D)
state.  These threads are usually in the process of performing IO and are
thus counted against the load average.  The txg_quiesce and txg_sync threads
were always sleeping uninterruptibly and thus inflating the load average.

This change makes them sleep interruptibly.  Some care is required however
because these threads may now be woken early by signals.  In this case the
callers are all careful to check that the required conditions are met after
waking up.  If we're woken early due to a signal they will simply go back
to sleep.  In this case these changes are safe.

d6bd8eaae4 Fix evict() deadlock
Now that KM_SLEEP is not defined as GFP_NOFS there is the possibility
of synchronous reclaim deadlocks.  These deadlocks never existed in the
original OpenSolaris code because all memory reclaim on Solaris is done
asyncronously.  Linux does both synchronous (direct) and asynchronous
(indirect) reclaim.

This commit addresses a deadlock caused by inode eviction.  A KM_SLEEP
allocation may trigger direct memory reclaim and shrink the inode cache.
This can occur while a mutex in the array of ZFS_OBJ_HOLD mutexes is
held.  Through the ->shrink_icache_memory()->evict()->zfs_inactive()->
zfs_zinactive() call path the same mutex may be reacquired resulting
in a deadlock.  To avoid this deadlock the process must not reacquire
the mutex when it is already holding it.

This is a reasonable fix for now but longer term the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD
mutex locking should be reevaluated.  This infrastructure already
prevents us from ever using the Linux lock dependency analysis tools,
and it may limit scalability.

691f6ac4c2 Use KM_PUSHPAGE instead of KM_SLEEP
It used to be the case that all KM_SLEEP allocations were GFS_NOFS.
Unfortunately this often resulted in the kernel being unable to
reclaim the ARC, inode, and dentry caches in a timely manor.
The fix was to make KM_SLEEP a GFP_KERNEL allocation in the SPL.

However, this increases the posibility of deadlocking the system
on a zfs write thread.  If a zfs write thread attempts to perform
an allocation it may trigger synchronous reclaim.  This reclaim
may attempt to flush dirty data/inode to disk to free memory.
Unforunately, this write cannot finish because the write thread
which would handle it is holding the previous transaction open.
Deadlock.

To avoid this all allocations in the zfs write thread path must
use KM_PUSHPAGE which prohibits synchronous reclaim for that
thread.  In this way forward progress in ensured.  The risk
with this change is I missed updating an allocation for the
write threads leaving an increased posibility of deadlock.  If
any deadlocks remain they will be unlikely but we'll have to
make sure they all get fixed.

0de19dad9c Register .remount_fs handler
Register the missing .remount_fs handler.  This handler isn't strictly
required because the VFS does a pretty good job updating most of the
MS_* flags.  However, there's no harm in using the hook to call the
registered zpl callback for various MS_* flags.  Additionaly, this
allows us to lay the ground work for more complicated argument parsing
in the future.

03f9ba9d99 Register .sync_fs handler
Register the missing .sync_fs handler.  This is a noop in most cases
because the usual requirement is that sync just be initiated.  As part
of the DMU's normal transaction processing txgs will be frequently
synced.  However, when the 'wait' flag is set the requirement is that
.sync_fs must not return until the data is safe on disk.  With the
addition of the .sync_fs handler this is now properly implemented.

04516a45b2 Don't set I/O Scheduler for Partitions
ZFS should only change the i/o scheduler for a disk when it has
ownership of the whole disk.  This is basically the same logic as
adjusting the write cache behavior on a disk.  This change updates
the vdev disk code to skip partitions when setting the i/o scheduler.

adf2e8778e Fix O_APPEND Corruption
Due to an uninitialized variable files opened with O_APPEND may
overwrite the start of the file rather than append to it.  This
was introduced accidentally when I removed the Solaris vnodes.

The zfs_range_lock_writer() function used to key off zf->z_vnode
to determine if a znode_t was for a zvol of zpl object.  With
the removal of vnodes this was replaced by the flag zp->z_is_zvol.
This flag was used to control the append behavior for range locks.

Unfortunately, this value was never properly initialized after
the vnode removal.  However, because most of memory is usually
zeros it happened to be set correctly most of the time making
the bug appear racy.  Properly initializing zp->z_is_zvol to
zero completely resolves the problem with O_APPEND.

450dc149bd Range lock performance improvements
The original range lock implementation had to be modified by commit
8926ab7 because it was unsafe on Linux.  In particular, calling
cv_destroy() immediately after cv_broadcast() is dangerous because
the waiters may still be asleep.  Thus the following cv_destroy()
will free memory which may still be in use.

This was fixed by updating cv_destroy() to block on waiters but
this in turn introduced a deadlock.  The deadlock was resolved
with the use of a taskq to move the offending free outside the
range lock.  This worked well but using the taskq for the free
resulted in a serious performace hit.  This is somewhat ironic
because at the time I felt using the taskq might improve things
by making the free asynchronous.

This patch refines the original fix and moves the free from the
taskq to a private free list.  Then items which must be free'd
are simply inserted in to the list.  When the range lock is dropped
it's safe to free the items.  The list is walked and all rl_t
entries are freed.

This change improves small cached read performance by 26x.  This
was expected because for small reads the number of locking calls
goes up significantly.  More surprisingly this change significantly
improves large cache read performance.  This probably attributable
to better cpu/memory locality.  Very likely the same processor
which allocated the memory is now freeing it.

126400a1ca Add zfs_open()/zfs_close()
In the original implementation the zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks
were dropped for simplicity.  This was functional but not 100%
correct with the expected ZFS sematics.  Updating and re-adding the
zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks resolves the following issues.

1) The ZFS_APPENDONLY file attribute is once again honored.  While
there are still no Linux tools to set/clear these attributes once
there are it should behave correctly.

2) Minimal virus scan file attribute hooks were added.  Once again
this support in disabled but the infrastructure is back in place.

3) Most importantly correctly handle assigning files which were
opened syncronously to the intent log.  Without this change O_SYNC
modifications could be lost during a system crash even though they
were marked synchronous.

53cf50e081 Set stat->st_dev and statfs->f_fsid
Filesystems like ZFS must use what the kernel calls an anonymous super
block.  Basically, this is just a filesystem which is not backed by a
single block device.  Normally this block device's dev_t is stored in
the super block.  For anonymous super blocks a unique reserved dev_t
is assigned as part of get_sb().

This sb->s_dev must then be set in the returned stat structures as
stat->st_dev.  This allows userspace utilities to easily detect the
boundries of a specific filesystem.  Tools such as 'du' depend on this
for proper accounting.

Additionally, under OpenSolaris the statfs->f_fsid is set to the device
id.  To preserve consistency with OpenSolaris we also set the fsid to
the device id.  Other Linux filesystem (ext) set the fsid to a unique
value determined by the filesystems uuid.  This value is unique but
maintains no relationship to the device id.  This may be desirable
when exporting NFS filesystem because it minimizes to chance of a
client observing the same fsid from two different servers.

5484965ab6 Drop HAVE_XVATTR macros
When I began work on the Posix layer it immediately became clear to
me that to integrate cleanly with the Linux VFS certain Solaris
specific things would have to go.  One of these things was to elimate
as many Solaris specific types from the ZPL layer as possible.  They
would be replaced with their Linux equivalents.  This would not only
be good for performance, but for the general readability and health of
the code.  The Solaris and Linux VFS are different beasts and should
be treated as such.  Most of the code remains common for constructing
transactions and such, but there are subtle and important differenced
which need to be repsected.

This policy went quite for for certain types such as the vnode_t,
and it initially seemed to be working out well for the vattr_t.  There
was a relatively small amount of related xvattr_t code I was forced to
comment out with HAVE_XVATTR.  But it didn't look that hard to come
back soon and replace it all with a native Linux type.

However, after going doing this path with xvattr some distance it
clear that this code was woven in the ZPL more deeply than I thought.
In particular its hooks went very deep in to the ZPL replay code
and replacing it would not be as easy as I originally thought.

Rather than continue persuing replacing and removing this code I've
taken a step back and reevaluted things.  This commit reverts many of
my previous commits which removed xvattr related code.  It restores
much of the code to its original upstream state and now relies on
improved xvattr_t support in the zfs package itself.

The result of this is that much of the code which I had commented
out, which accidentally broke things like replay, is now back in
place and working.  However, there may be a small performance
impact for getattr/setattr operations because they now require
a translation from native Linux to Solaris types.  For now that's
a price I'm willing to pay.  Once everything is completely functional
we can revisting the issue of removing the vattr_t/xvattr_t types.
