Because errors during module load are so rare it went unnoticed that
it was possible that a positive errno was returned. This would result
in the module being loaded, nothing being initialized, and a system

Commit b39c22b set the READ_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC flags for a bio
based on the ZIO_PRIORITY_* flag passed in. This had the unnoticed
side-effect of making the vdev_disk_io_start() synchronous for
certain I/Os.
This in turn resulted in vdev_disk_io_start() being able to
re-dispatch zio's which would result in a RCU stalls when a disk
was removed from the system. Additionally, this could negatively
impact performance and explains the performance regressions reported
in both #3829 and #3780.
This patch resolves the issue by making the blocking behavior
dependent on a 'wait' flag being passed rather than overloading
the passed bio flags.
Finally, the WRITE_SYNC and READ_SYNC behavior is restricted to
non-rotational devices where there is no benefit to queuing to
aggregate the I/O.

As described in the comment above arc_reclaim_thread() it's critical

To resolve this issue arc_kmem_reap_now() has been updated to use the
asynchronous arc prune function. This means that arc_prune_async()
may now be called while there are still outstanding arc_prune_tasks.
However, this isn't a problem because arc_prune_async() already

ZFS incorrectly uses directory-based extended attributes even when
xattr=sa is specified as a dataset property or mount option. Support to
honor temporary mount options including "xattr" was added in commit
0282c4137e. There are two issues with the
mount option handling:
* Libzfs has historically included "xattr" in its list of default mount
options. This overrides the dataset property, so the dataset is always
configured to use directory-based xattrs even when the xattr dataset
property is set to off or sa. Address this by removing "xattr" from
the set of default mount options in libzfs.
* There was no way to enable system attribute-based extended attributes
using temporary mount options. Add the mount options "saxattr" and
"dirxattr" which enable the xattr behavior their names suggest. This
approach has the advantages of mirroring the valid xattr dataset
property values and following existing conventions for mount option
names.

Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.
Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.
Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:
1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.
An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.
Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

Re-factor the .zfs/snapshot auto-mouting code to take in to account
changes made to the upstream kernels. And to lay the groundwork for
enabling access to .zfs snapshots via NFS clients. This patch makes
the following core improvements.
* All actively auto-mounted snapshots are now tracked in two global
trees which are indexed by snapshot name and objset id respectively.
This allows for fast lookups of any auto-mounted snapshot regardless
without needing access to the parent dataset.
* Snapshot entries are added to the tree in zfsctl_snapshot_mount().
However, they are now removed from the tree in the context of the
unmount process. This eliminates the need complicated error logic
in zfsctl_snapshot_unmount() to handle unmount failures.
* References are now taken on the snapshot entries in the tree to
ensure they always remain valid while a task is outstanding.
* The MNT_SHRINKABLE flag is set on the snapshot vfsmount_t right
after the auto-mount succeeds. This allows to kernel to unmount
idle auto-mounted snapshots if needed removing the need for the
zfsctl_unmount_snapshots() function.
* Snapshots in active use will not be automatically unmounted. As
long as at least one dentry is revalidated every zfs_expire_snapshot/2
seconds the auto-unmount expiration timer will be extended.
* Commit torvalds/linux@bafc9b7 caused snapshots auto-mounted by ZFS
to be immediately unmounted when the dentry was revalidated. This
was a consequence of ZFS invaliding all snapdir dentries to ensure that
negative dentries didn't mask new snapshots. This patch modifies the
behavior such that only negative dentries are invalidated. This solves
the issue and may result in a performance improvement.

The spa_config_write() function relies on the classic method of
making sure updates to the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache file are atomic.
It writes out a temporary version of the file and then uses
vn_rename() to switch it in to place. This way there can never
exist a partial version of the file, it's all or nothing.
Conceptually this is a good strategy and it makes good sense
for platforms where it's easy to do a rename within the kernel.
Unfortunately, Linux is not one of those platforms. Even doing
basic I/O to a file system from within the kernel is strongly
discouraged. In order to support this at all the vn_rename()
implementation ends up being complex and fragile. So fragile
that recent Linux 4.2 changes have broken it.
While it is possible to update vn_rename() to work with the
latest kernels a better long term strategy is to stop using
vn_rename() entirely. Then all this complex, fragile code can
be removed. Achieving this is straight forward because
config_write() is the only consumer of vn_rename().
This patch reworks spa_config_write() to update the cache file
in place. The file will be truncated, written out, and then
synced to disk. If an error is encountered the file will be
unlinked leaving the system in a consistent state.
This does expose a tiny tiny tiny window where a system could
crash at exactly the wrong moment could leave a partially written
cache file. However, this is highly unlikely because the cache
file is 1) infrequently updated, 2) only a few kilobytes in size,
and 3) written with a single vn_rdwr() call.
If this were to somehow happen it poses no risk to pool. Simply
removing the cache file will allow the pool to be imported cleanly.
Going forward this will be even less of an issue as we intend to
disable the use of a cache file by default.
Bottom line not using vn_rename() allows us to make ZoL more
robust against upstream kernel changes.

This brings the behavior of arc_memory_throttle() back in sync with
illumos. The updated memory throttling policy roughly goes like this:
* Never throttle if more than 10% of memory is free. This threshold
is configurable with the zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent module option.
* Minimize any throttling of kswapd even when free memory is below
the set threshold. Allow it to write out pages as quickly as
possible to help alleviate the memory pressure.
* Delay all other threads when free memory is below the set threshold
in order to avoid compounding the memory pressure. Buffers will be
evicted from the ARC to reduce the issue.
The Linux specific zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option has

While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of
the VM it does provide us total free pages. This information should
be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather
than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim. Conceptually
this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos.
It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable
on a system. While the default values are expected to work well
for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed.
The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose.
zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave
as free memory on the system. This value can
checked in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats and

The zvol_threads module option should be bounded to a reasonable
range. The taskq must have at least 1 thread and shouldn't have
more than 1,024 at most. The default value of 32 is a reasonable
default.

Commit d958324 fixed the deadlock between page lock and range lock by
unlocking the page lock before acquiring the range lock. However,
this created a new issue #3075.
The problem is that if we can't set the write back bit before releasing
the page lock. Then other processes will be unaware that the page is
under active write back. They may therefore truncate the page,
invalidate the page, or not honor the sync semantics.
To workaround this problem we re-dirty the page before dropping the
page lock. While this doesn't prevent the page from being truncated
it does ensure it won't be invalidated. Then the range lock and the
page lock are reacquired in the correct deadlock-free order.
Once both locks are safely held the page state can be rechecked. If
all is well and the page is in the expect state the dirty bit can be
removed, the write back bit set, and the page removed from the skip
count. If not the page will be handled as appropriate.

Under Linux filesystem threads responsible for handling I/O are
normally created with the maximum priority. Non-I/O filesystem
processes run with the default priority. ZFS should adopt the
same priority scheme under Linux to maintain good performance
and so that it will complete fairly when other Linux filesystems
are active. The priorities have been updated to the following:

Note that under Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted
with respect to illumos. High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority
while high value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.
In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.
This patch depends on https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/pull/466.
