The only place vn_rename and vn_remove are used is when writing
out an updated pool configuration file. By truncating the file
instead of renaming and removing it we can avoid having to implement
these interfaces entirely. Functionally an empty cache file is
treated the same as a missing cache file. This is particularly
advantageous because the Linux kernel has never provided a way
to reliably implement vn_rename and vn_remove.
The cachefile_004_pos.ksh test case was updated to understand
that an empty cache file is the same as a missing one.
The zfs-import-* systemd service files were not updated to use
ConditionFileNotEmpty in place of ConditionPathExists. This
means that after exporting all pools and rebooting new pools
will not the scanned for on the next boot. This small change
should not impact normal usage since pools are not exported
as part of a normal shutdown.
Documentation was updated accordingly.

Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP. When enabled
a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a
set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported.
These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated
timestamp. Property defaults to off.
During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp)
repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock. Include the
results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport.
These results are reported to user in "zpool import".
Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the
duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter
zfs_multihost_interval. The period is specified in milliseconds. The
activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the
mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially.
Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier

Commit efc412b updated spa_config_write() for Linux 4.2 kernels to
truncate and overwrite rather than rename the cache file. This is
the correct fix but it should have only been applied for the kernel
build. In user space rename(2) is needed because ztest depends on
the cache file.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
Closes#4129
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.

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.

By marking DMU transaction processing contexts with PF_FSTRANS
we can revert the KM_PUSHPAGE -> KM_SLEEP changes. This brings
us back in line with upstream. In some cases this means simply
swapping the flags back. For others fnvlist_alloc() was replaced
by nvlist_alloc(..., KM_PUSHPAGE) and must be reverted back to
fnvlist_alloc() which assumes KM_SLEEP.
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
same as upstream.

Callers of kmem_alloc() which passed the KM_NODEBUG flag to suppress
the large allocation warning have been replaced by vmem_alloc() as
appropriate. The updated vmem_alloc() call will not print a warning
regardless of the size of the allocation.
A careful reader will notice that not all callers have been changed
to vmem_alloc(). Some have only had the KM_NODEBUG flag removed.
This was possible because the default warning threshold has been
increased to 32k. This is desirable because it minimizes the need
for Linux specific code changes.

Modify the code to use the utsname() kernel function rather than
a global variable. This results is cleaner more portable code
because utsname() is already provided by the kernel and can be
easily emulated in user space via uname(2). This means that it
will behave consistently in both contexts.
This is also has the benefit that it allows the removal of a few
_KERNEL pre-processor conditions. And it also is a pre-requisite
for a proper FUSE port because we need to provide a valid utsname.
Finally, it allows us to remove this functionality from the SPL

Issue #2757
Originally, users had to handle spa namespace collisions by either
exporting the already imported pool or by specifying a new name for the
pool with a conflicting name. In the case of root pools from virtual
guests, neither approach to collision resolution is reasonable. This is
addressed by extending the new name syntax with a -t option to specify
that the new name is temporary. When specified, this sets an internal
flag that is passed into the kernel to tell it that all label updates
should refer to the name used in the original label. Consequently, the
original pool name will be retained on export.

From time to time it may be necessary to inform the pool administrator
about an errata which impacts their pool. These errata will by shown
to the administrator through the 'zpool status' and 'zpool import'
output as appropriate. The errata must clearly describe the issue
detected, how the pool is impacted, and what action should be taken
to resolve the situation. Additional information for each errata will
be provided at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER.
To accomplish the above this patch adds the required infrastructure to
allow the kernel modules to notify the utilities that an errata has
been detected. This is done through the ZPOOL_CONFIG_ERRATA uint64_t
which has been added to the pool configuration nvlist.
To add a new errata the following changes must be made:
* A new errata identifier must be assigned by adding a new enum value
to the zpool_errata_t type. New enums must be added to the end to
preserve the existing ordering.
* Code must be added to detect the issue. This does not strictly
need to be done at pool import time but doing so will make the
errata visible in 'zpool import' as well as 'zpool status'. Once
detected the spa->spa_errata member should be set to the new enum.
* If possible code should be added to clear the spa->spa_errata member
once the errata has been resolved.
* The show_import() and status_callback() functions must be updated
to include an informational message describing the errata. This
should include an action message describing what an administrator
should do to address the errata.
* The documentation at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER must be
updated to describe the errata. This space can be used to provide
as much additional information as needed to fully describe the errata.
A link to this documentation will be automatically generated in the
output of 'zpool import' and 'zpool status'.

Porting notes:
1. zfs_dbgmsg_print() is only used in userland. Since we do not have
mdb on Linux, it does not make sense to make it available in the
kernel. This means that a build failure will occur if any future
kernel patch depends on it. However, that is unlikely given that
this functionality was added to support zdb.
2. zfs_dbgmsg_print() is only invoked for -VVV or greater log levels.
This preserves the existing behavior of minimal noise when running
with -V, and -VV.
3. In vdev_config_generate() the call to nvlist_alloc() was not
changed to fnvlist_alloc() because we must pass KM_PUSHPAGE in
the txg_sync context.

Normally we don't list pools that are imported read-only in the cache

importing and exporting a read-write pool while a read-only pool is
imported:
$ zpool import -o readonly test1
$ zpool import test2
$ zpool export test2
$ zdb -C
This is a problem because if the machine reboots we import all pools in

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:

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 topic branch leverages the Solaris style FMA call points
in ZFS to create a user space visible event notification system
under Linux. This new system is called zevent and it unifies
all previous Solaris style ereports and sysevent notifications.
Under this Linux specific scheme when a sysevent or ereport event
occurs an nvlist describing the event is created which looks almost
exactly like a Solaris ereport. These events are queued up in the
kernel when they occur and conditionally logged to the console.
It is then up to a user space application to consume the events
and do whatever it likes with them.
To make this possible the existing /dev/zfs ABI has been extended
with two new ioctls which behave as follows.
* ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_NEXT
Get the next pending event. The kernel will keep track of the last
event consumed by the file descriptor and provide the next one if
available. If no new events are available the ioctl() will block
waiting for the next event. This ioctl may also be called in a
non-blocking mode by setting zc.zc_guid = ZEVENT_NONBLOCK. In the
non-blocking case if no events are available ENOENT will be returned.
It is possible that ESHUTDOWN will be returned if the ioctl() is
called while module unloading is in progress. And finally ENOMEM
may occur if the provided nvlist buffer is not large enough to
contain the entire event.
* ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_CLEAR
Clear are events queued by the kernel. The kernel will keep a fairly
large number of recent events queued, use this ioctl to clear the
in kernel list. This will effect all user space processes consuming
events.
The zpool command has been extended to use this events ABI with the
'events' subcommand. You may run 'zpool events -v' to output a
verbose log of all recent events. This is very similar to the
Solaris 'fmdump -ev' command with the key difference being it also
includes what would be considered sysevents under Solaris. You
may also run in follow mode with the '-f' option. To clear the
in kernel event queue use the '-c' option.

While the 'zpool events' command is handy for interactive debugging
it is not expected to be the primary consumer of zevents. This ABI
was primarily added to facilitate the addition of a user space
monitoring daemon. This daemon would consume all events posted by
the kernel and based on the type of event perform an action. For
most events simply forwarding them on to syslog is likely enough.
But this interface also cleanly allows for more sophisticated
actions to be taken such as generating an email for a failed drive.
