The GNU libtool documentation states to start with a version of 0:0:0,
rather than 1:1:0. Illumos uses the name libzfs_core.so.1, so to be
consistent, we should go with 1:0:0.
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Updating-version-info
The GNU libtool documentation also provides guidence on how the version
information should be incremented. Doing this does a SONAME bump of the
libzfs and libzpool libraries. This is particularly important on Gentoo
because a SONAME bump enables portage to retain the older libraries
until any packages that link to them are rebuilt. The main example of
this is GRUB2's grub2-mkconfig, which will break unless it is rebuilt
against the new libraries.

Issue #1751
Libraries that depend on other libraries should list them in ELF's
DT_NEEDED field so that programs linking to them do not need to specify
those libraries unless they depend on them as well. This is not the case
in the current code and the consequence is that anything that needs a
library must know its dependencies. This is fragile and caused GRUB2's
configure script to break when a dependency was added on libblkid in
libzfs.
This resolves that problem by using LIBADD/LDADD to specify libraries in
Makefile.am instead of LDFLAGS. This ensures that proper DT_NEEDED
entries are generated and prevents GRUB2's configure script from
breaking in the presence of a libblkid dependency. This also removes
unneeded dependencies from various files.

libblkid support is dormant because the autotools check is broken and
liblkid identifies ZFS vdevs as "zfs_member", not "zfs". We fix that
with a few changes:
First, we fix the libblkid autotools check to do a few things:
1. Make a 64MB file, which is the minimum size ZFS permits.
2. Make 4 fake uberblock entries to make libblkid's check succeed.
3. Return 0 upon success to make autotools use the success case.
4. Include stdlib.h to avoid implicit declration of free().
5. Check for "zfs_member", not "zfs"
6. Make --with-blkid disable autotools check (avoids Gentoo sandbox violation)
7. Pass '-lblkid' correctly using LIBS not LDFLAGS.
Second, we change the libblkid support to scan for "zfs_member", not
"zfs".
This makes --with-blkid work on Gentoo.

It was observed that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() uses local_irq_save()
and saves the interrupt state in a local variable. This would
normally be fine except that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() calls
spl_cache_refill() which re-enables interrupts. It is then
possible that while interrupts are enabled the process is
rescheduled to a different cpu before being disable again.
This could result in us restoring the saved interrupt state
from one cpu to another.
What the consequences of this are aren't perfectly clear, but
this is clearly a bug and it has the potential to cause issues.
The code has been updated to just use local_irq_enable() and
local_irq_disable() to avoid this.

can be identified and fixed we prevent adding SA xattrs to symlinks.

This implements vdev_bdev_database_check(). It alters the detected
sector size of any device listed in a database of drives known to lie
about their physical sector sizes.
This is based on "6931570 Add flash devices' VID/PID to disk table to
advertising 4K physical sector size" from Open Solaris and on
sg_simple4.c from sg3_utils. About two dozen lines are taken from
sg_simple4.c, which is GPLv2 licensed. However, sg_simple4.c is
analogous to a Hello World program and is safe for us to use. We
requested that Douglas Gilbert, the author of sg_simple4.c, confirm that
this is the case. A cutdown version of his response is as follows:
```
I would consider a SCSI INQUIRY example using the Linux sg
driver interface (also written by me) as the equivalent of an
"hello world" program in C.
```
The database was created with the help of the freenode and ZFSOnLinux
communities.
Some notes:
1. The following drives both were confirmed to lie via reports in IRC
and they contain capacity information in their identifiers:
INTEL SSDSA2M080
INTEL SSDSA2M160
M4-CT256M4SSD2
WDC WD15EARS-00S
WDC WD15EARS-00Z
WDC WD20EARS-00M
The identifiers for different capacity models were extrapolated and
added under the assumption that those models also lie. Google was used
to verify that the extrapolated drive identifiers existed prior to their
inclusion.
2. The OCZ-VERTEX2 3.5 identifer applies to two drives that differ
solely in page size (and slightly in capacity). One uses 4096-byte pages
and the other uses 8192-byte pages. Both are set to use 8192-byte pages.
We could detect the page size by checking the capacity, but that would
unnecessarily complicate the code.
3. It is possible for updated drive firmware to correctly report the
sector size. There were reports of a few advanced format drives doing
that. One report stated that the vendor changed the identification
string while another was unclear on this. Both reports involved WDC
models.
4. Google was used to determine the size of pages in the listed flash
devices. Reports of 8192-byte pages took precedence over reports of
4096-byte pages.
5. Devices behind USB adapters can have their identification strings
altered. Identification strings obtained across USB adapters are
omitted and no attempt is made to correct for alterations made by USB
adapters when doing comparisons against the database. Two entries in the
Open Solaris database that appear to have been altered by a USB
adapter were omitted.

Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.
To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.
Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.
Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Issue #1591
Because we need to be more frugal about our stack usage under
Linux. The __zio_execute() function was modified to re-dispatch
zios to a ZIO_TASKQ_ISSUE thread when we're in a context which
is known to be stack heavy. Those two contexts are the sync
thread and what ever thread is performing spa initialization.
Unfortunately, this change introduced an unlikely bug which can
result in a zio being re-dispatched indefinitely and never being
executed. If during spa initialization we handle a zio with
ZIO_PRIORITY_NOW it will be moved to the high priority queue.
When __zio_execute() is called again for the zio it will mis-
interpret the context and re-dispatch it again. The system
will get stuck spinning re-dispatching the zio and making no
forward progress.
To fix this rare issue __zio_execute() has been updated not
to re-dispatch zios on either the ZIO_TASKQ_ISSUE or
ZIO_TASKQ_ISSUE_HIGH task queues.
In practice this issue was rarely reported and can usually
be fixed by rebooting the system and importing the pool again.

Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
The original changeset mostly deals with mdb ::zio dcmd.
However, in order to provide the requested functionality
it modifies vdev and zio structures to keep the timing data
in nanoseconds instead of ticks. It is these changes that
are ported over in the commit in hand.
One visible change of this commit is that the default value
of 'zfs_vdev_time_shift' tunable is changed:
zfs_vdev_time_shift = 6
to
zfs_vdev_time_shift = 29
The original value of 6 was inherited from OpenSolaris and
was subotimal - since it shifted the raw tick value - it
didn't compensate for different tick frequencies on Linux and
OpenSolaris. The former has HZ=1000, while the latter HZ=100.
(Which itself led to other interesting performance anomalies
under non-trivial load. The deadline scheduler delays the IO
according to its priority - the lower priority the further
the deadline is set. The delay is measured in units of
"shifted ticks". Since the HZ value was 10 times higher,
the delay units were 10 times shorter. Thus really low
priority IO like resilver (delay is 10 units) and scrub
(delay is 20 units) were scheduled much sooner than intended.
The overall effect is that resilver and scrub IO consumed
more bandwidth at the expense of the other IO.)
Now that the bookkeeping is done is nanoseconds the shift
behaves correctly for any tick frequency (HZ).

When the meta limit is exceeded the ARC evicts some meta data
buffers from the mfu+mru lists. Unfortunately, for meta data
heavy workloads it's possible for these buffers to accumulate
on the ghost lists if arc_c doesn't exceed arc_size.
To handle this case arc_adjust_meta() has been entended to
explicitly evict meta data buffers from the ghost lists in
proportion to what was evicted from the mfu+mru lists.
If this is insufficient we request that the VFS release
some inodes and dentries. This will result in the release
of some dnodes which are counted as 'other' metadata.

The default behavior of arc_evict_ghost() is to start by evicting
data buffers. Then only if the requested number of bytes to evict
cannot be satisfied by data buffers move on to meta data buffers.
This is ideal for honoring arc_c since it's preferable to keep the
meta data cached. However, if we're trying to free memory from the
arc to honor the meta limit it's a problem because we will need to
discard all the data to get to the meta data.
To avoid this issue the arc_evict_ghost() is now passed a fourth
argumented describing which buffer type to start with. The
arc_evict() function already behaves exactly like this for a
same reason so this is consistent with the existing code.
All existing callers have been updated to pass ARC_BUFC_DATA so
this patch introduces no functional change. New callers may
pass ARC_BUFC_METADATA to skip immediately to evicting meta
data leaving the normal data untouched.

Notes for Linux port:
A l2arc_nocompress module option was added to prevent the
compression of l2arc buffers regardless of how a dataset's
compression property is set. This allows the legacy behavior
to be preserved.

Closes#1379
The PaX team started constifying `struct ctl_table` as of their Linux
3.8.0 patchset. This lead to zfsonlinux/spl#225 and Gentoo bug #463012.
While investigating our options, I learned that there is a preprocessor
directive called CONSTIFY_PLUGIN that we can use to detect the presence
of the PaX changes and adjust the code accordingly.
The PaX Team had suggested adopting ctl_table_no_const, but supporting
older kernels required declaring that whenever the CONSTIFY_PLUGIN was
set. Future compiler changes could potentially cause that to break in
the presence of -Werror, so instead we define our own spl_ctl_table
typdef and use that. This should be compatible with all PaX kernels.
This introduces a Linux kernel version number check to prevent a build
failure on versions of the PaX GCC plugin that existed for kernels
before Linux 3.8.0. Affected versions of the PaX plugin will trigger a
compiler error when they see no_const cast on a non-constified
structure. Ordinarily, we would need an autotools check to catch that.
However, it is safe to do a kernel version check instead of an autotools
check in this specific instance because the affected versions of the PaX
GCC plugin only exist for Linux kernels before 3.8.0 and the
constification of `struct ctl_table` by the PaX developers only occurs
in Linux 3.8.0 and later.

Closes#1579
The current code contains a race condition that triggers when bit 2 in
spl.spl_kmem_cache_expire is set, spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() is invoked
and another thread is concurrently accessing its magazine.
spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() currently invokes spl_cache_flush() on each
magazine in the same thread when bit 2 in spl.spl_kmem_cache_expire is
set. This is unsafe because there is one magazine per CPU and the
magazines are lockless, so it is impossible to guarentee that another
CPU is not using its magazine when this function is called.
The solution is to only touch the local CPU's magazine and leave other
CPU's magazines to other CPUs.

num_physpages was removed by
torvalds/linux@cfa11e08ed, so lets replace
it with totalram_pages.
This is a bug fix as much as it is a compatibility fix because
num_physpages did not reflect the number of pages actually available to
the kernel:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0908.2/01001.html
Also, there are known issues with memory calculations when ZFS is in a
Xen dom0. There is a chance that using totalram_pages could resolve
them. This conjecture is untested at the time of writing.

zfs_readdir() is used by getdents(), which provides a list of all files
in directory, their types and an offset that be used by llseek() to seek
to the next directory entry.
On Solaris, the first two directory entries "." and ".." respectively
have offsets 1 and 2 on ZFS while the other files have rather large
numbers. Currently, ZFSOnLinux is giving "." offset 0 and all other
entries large numbers. The first entry's next entry offset points to
itself, which causes software that uses llseek() in conjunction with
getdents() for filesystem navigation to enter an infinite loop. The
offsets used for each directory entry are filesystem specific on all
platforms, so we can fix this by adopting the Solaris behavior.
Also, we currently report each directory entry as having type 0 (???).
This is not wrong, but we can do better. getdents() on Solaris does not
appear to provide this information, but it does on Linux and Mac OS X
do. ZFS provides easy access to type information in zfs_readdir(), so
this patch provides this as well.

Normally we don't list pools that are imported read-only in the cache
file, however you can accidentally get one into the cache file by
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
the cache file as read-write.

When the property atime=on is set operations which only access
and inode do cause an atime update. However, it turns out that
dirty inodes with updated atimes are only written to disk when
the inodes get evicted from the cache. Somewhat surprisingly
the source suggests that this isn't a ZoL specific issue.
This behavior may in part explain why zfs's reclaim logic has
been observed to be slow. When reclaiming inodes its likely
that they have a dirty atime which will force a write to disk.
Obviously we don't want to force a write to disk for every
atime update, these needs to be batched. The right way to
do this is to fully implement the .dirty_inode and .write_inode
callbacks. However, to do that right requires proper unification
of some fields in the znode/inode. Then we could just mark the
inode dirty and leave it to the VFS to call .write_inode
periodically.
Until that work gets done we have to settle for some middle
ground. The simplest and safest thing we can do for now is
to write the dirty inode on last close. This should prevent
the majority of inodes in the cache from having dirty atimes
and not drastically increase the number of writes.
Some rudimentally testing to show how long it takes to drop
500,000 inodes from the cache shows promising results. This
is as expected because we're no longer do lots of IO as part
of the eviction, it was done earlier during the close.
w/out patch: ~30s to drop 500,000 inodes with drop_caches.
with patch: ~3s to drop 500,000 inodes with drop_caches.
