This reverts commit 53c7411919
effectively reinstating the asynchronous xattr cleanup code.
These Linux changes were reverted because after testing
and careful contemplation I was convinced that due to the
89260a1c8851ce05ea04b23606ba438b271d890 commit they were no
longer required.
Unfortunately, the deadlock described in #1176 was a case
which wasn't considered. At mount zfs_unlinked_drain() can
occur which will unlink a list of znodes in effectively a
random order which isn't safe. The only reason it was safe
to originally revert this change was the we could guarantee
that the VFS would always prune the xattr leaves before the
parents.
Therefore, until we can cleanly resolve this deadlock for
all cases we need to keep this change in spite of the xattr
unlink performance penalty associated with it.

Issue #457
This reverts commit b00131d43c which
is no longer needed due to e89260a1c8.
This change forces all xattr znodes to hold a reference on their
parent which ensures prune_icache() will never attempt to evict
both the parent and child concurrently. This effectively prevents
the deadlock condition from ever occuring.
Therefore we can safely revert back to the upstream synchronous
cleanup code. This is nice because it keeps our code base closer
to upstream and resolves the performance issues introduced by the
original deadlock fix.

Under Solaris the behavior for rmdir(2) is to return EEXIST when
a directory still contains entries. However, on Linux ENOTEMPTY
is the expected return value with EEXIST being technically allowed.
According to rmdir(2):
ENOTEMPTY
pathname contains entries other than . and .. ; or, pathname has
.. as its final component. POSIX.1-2001 also allows EEXIST for
this condition.

Add support for the .zfs control directory. This was accomplished
by leveraging as much of the existing ZFS infrastructure as posible
and updating it for Linux as required. The bulk of the core
functionality is now all there with the following limitations.
*) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37
or newer kernel. The exception is RHEL6.2 which has backported
the d_automount patches.
*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected. However,
this functionality is only available to root until zfs
delegations are finished.
* mkdir - create a snapshot
* rmdir - destroy a snapshot
* mv - rename a snapshot
The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.
*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37. This should
be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.
*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
The majority of the ground work for this is complete. However,
finishing this work will require resolving some lingering
integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server.
*) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality
has yet been implemented.

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.

The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback
in the file_system_type structure. When using the new
interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper.
Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount
down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing
implementation because we currently save this pointer in the
super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point
in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.
This needed to be done originally to allow commands like
'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me
to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under
Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a
file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However,
under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace
which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.
Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and
continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update
the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux.
This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue
for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which
have been reported.
This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back
reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount
options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'.
This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace
to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing
them on to the file system itself.
Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the
vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This
change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

The problem here is that prune_icache() tries to evict/delete
both the xattr directory inode as well as at least one xattr
inode contained in that directory. Here's what happens:
1. File is created.
2. xattr is created for that file (behind the scenes a xattr
directory and a file in that xattr directory are created)
3. File is deleted.
4. Both the xattr directory inode and at least one xattr
inode from that directory are evicted by prune_icache();
prune_icache() acquires a lock on both inodes before it
calls ->evict() on the inodes
When the xattr directory inode is evicted zfs_zinactive attempts
to delete the xattr files contained in that directory. While
enumerating these files zfs_zget() is called to obtain a reference
to the xattr file znode - which tries to lock the xattr inode.
However that very same xattr inode was already locked by
prune_icache() further up the call stack, thus leading to a
deadlock.
This can be reliably reproduced like this:
$ touch test
$ attr -s a -V b test
$ rm test
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
This patch fixes the deadlock by moving the zfs_purgedir() call to
zfs_unlinked_drain(). Instead zfs_rmnode() now checks whether the
xattr dir is empty and leaves the xattr dir in the unlinked set if
it finds any xattrs.
To ensure zfs_unlinked_drain() never accesses a stale super block
zfsvfs_teardown() has been update to block until the iput taskq
has been drained. This avoids a potential race where a file with
an xattr directory is removed and the file system is immediately
unmounted.

iput_final() already calls zpl_inode_destroy() -> zfs_inode_destroy()
for us after zfs_zinactive(), thus making sure that the inode is
properly cleaned up.
The zfs_inode_destroy() calls in zfs_rmnode() would lead to a
double-free.

Without this we may mistakenly believe we have a dentry and try to
d_instantiate() it. This will result in the following BUG. It's
important to note that while the xattr directory has an inode
assoicated with it we never create a dentry for it.

Under Linux a dentry referencing an inode must be instantiated before
the inode is unlocked. To accomplish this without overly modifing
the core ZFS code the dentry it passed via the vattr_t. There are
cases such as replay when a dentry is not available. In which case
it is obviously not initialized at inode creation time, if a dentry
is needed it will be spliced as when required via d_lookup().
I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit.
When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing
that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure
there's much merrit in it. As such I'll just summerize the intent
of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit. Broadly
the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible
and replace it with native Linux equivilants. More specifically:
1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t. While the
type is largely the same calling it private super block data
rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names
this. While non critical it makes the code easier to read when
your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms.
2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode. The Linux VFS doesn't have
the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to
create one. There are in fact several good reasons to remove it.
It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it
conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's
a good change it will be out of date. The code has been updated
to remove all need for this type.
3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types. Along with this shift
all uses of types to mode bits. The Solaris code would pass a
vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode. Just update all the
code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy.
4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with
inode helpers. The big example here is creating iput_aync to
replace vn_rele_async. Other vn helpers will be addressed as
needed but they should be be emulated. They are a Solaris VFS'ism
and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants.
5) Update znode alloc/free code. Under Linux it's common to
embed the inode specific data with the inode itself. This removes
the need for an extra memory allocation. In zfs this information
is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it. Allocators
have been updated accordingly.
6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the
super block and handling mount options has been added this
code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there.
This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.
This code is used for snapshot and heavily leverages Solaris
functionality we do not want to reimplement. These files have
been removed, including references to them, and will be replaced
by a zfs_snap.c/zpl_snap.c implementation which handles snapshots.
These compiler warnings were introduced when code which was
previously #ifdef'ed out by HAVE_ZPL was re-added for use
by the posix layer. All of the following changes should be
obviously correct and will cause no semantic changes.
