As of RHEL 7.5 the mainline fops.iterate() method was added to
the file_operations structure and is correctly detected by the
configure script.
Normally this is what we want, but in order to maintain KABI
compatibility the RHEL change additionally does the following:
* Requires that callers intending to use this extended interface
set the FMODE_KABI_ITERATE flag on the file structure when
opening the directory.
* Adds the fops.iterate() method to the end of the structure,
without removing fops.readdir().
This change updates the configure check to ignore the RHEL 7.5+
variant of fops.iterate() when detected. Instead fallback to
the fops.readdir() interface which will be available.
Finally, add the 'zpl_' prefix to the directory context wrappers
to avoid colliding with the kernel provided symbols when both
the fops.iterate() and fops.readdir() are provided by the kernel.

Project quota is a new ZFS system space/object usage accounting
and enforcement mechanism. Similar as user/group quota, project
quota is another dimension of system quota. It bases on the new
object attribute - project ID.
Project ID is a numerical value to indicate to which project an
object belongs. An object only can belong to one project though
you (the object owner or privileged user) can change the object
project ID via 'chattr -p' or 'zfs project [-s] -p' explicitly.
The object also can inherit the project ID from its parent when
created if the parent has the project inherit flag (that can be
set via 'chattr +P' or 'zfs project -s [-p]').
By accounting the spaces/objects belong to the same project, we
can know how many spaces/objects used by the project. And if we
set the upper limit then we can control the spaces/objects that
are consumed by such project. It is useful when multiple groups
and users cooperate for the same project, or a user/group needs
to participate in multiple projects.
Support the following commands and functionalities:
zfs set projectquota@project
zfs set projectobjquota@project
zfs get projectquota@project
zfs get projectobjquota@project
zfs get projectused@project
zfs get projectobjused@project
zfs projectspace

zfs unallow projectquota
zfs unallow projectobjquota
zfs unallow projectused
zfs unallow projectobjused
chattr +/-P
chattr -p project_id
lsattr -p
This patch also supports tree quota based on the project quota via
"zfs project" commands set as following:
zfs project [-d|-r] <file|directory ...>
zfs project -C [-k] [-r] <file|directory ...>
zfs project -c [-0] [-d|-r] [-p id] <file|directory ...>
zfs project [-p id] [-r] [-s] <file|directory ...>
For "df [-i] $DIR" command, if we set INHERIT (project ID) flag on
the $DIR, then the proejct [obj]quota and [obj]used values for the
$DIR's project ID will be shown as the total/free (avail) resource.
Keep the same behavior as EXT4/XFS does.

The problem for atime:
We have 3 places for atime: inode->i_atime, znode->z_atime and SA. And its
handling is a mess. A huge part of mess regarding atime comes from
zfs_tstamp_update_setup, zfs_inode_update, and zfs_getattr, which behave
inconsistently with those three values.
zfs_tstamp_update_setup clears z_atime_dirty unconditionally as long as you
don't pass ATTR_ATIME. Which means every write(2) operation which only updates
ctime and mtime will cause atime changes to not be written to disk.
Also zfs_inode_update from write(2) will replace inode->i_atime with what's
inside SA(stale). But doesn't touch z_atime. So after read(2) and write(2).
You'll have i_atime(stale), z_atime(new), SA(stale) and z_atime_dirty=0.
Now, if you do stat(2), zfs_getattr will actually replace i_atime with what's
inside, z_atime. So you will have now you'll have i_atime(new), z_atime(new),
SA(stale) and z_atime_dirty=0. These will all gone after umount. And you'll
leave with a stale atime.
The problem for relatime:
We do have a relatime config inside ZFS dataset, but how it should interact
with the mount flag MS_RELATIME is not well defined. It seems it wanted
relatime mount option to override the dataset config by showing it as
temporary in `zfs get`. But at the same time, `zfs set relatime=on|off` would
also seems to want to override the mount option. Not to mention that
MS_RELATIME flag is actually never passed into ZFS, so it never really worked.
How Linux handles atime:
The Linux kernel actually handles atime completely in VFS, except for writing
it to disk. So if we remove the atime handling in ZFS, things would just work,
no matter it's strictatime, relatime, noatime, or even O_NOATIME. And whenever
VFS updates the i_atime, it will notify the underlying filesystem via
sb->dirty_inode().
And also there's one thing to note about atime flags like MS_RELATIME and
other flags like MS_NODEV, etc. They are mount point flags rather than
filesystem(sb) flags. Since native linux filesystem can be mounted at multiple
places at the same time, they can all have different atime settings. So these
flags are never passed down to filesystem drivers.
What this patch tries to do:
We remove znode->z_atime, since we won't gain anything from it. We remove most
of the atime handling and leave it to VFS. The only thing we do with atime is
to write it when dirty_inode() or setattr() is called. We also add
file_accessed() in zpl_read() since it's not provided in vfs_read().
After this patch, only the MS_RELATIME flag will have effect. The setting in
dataset won't do anything. We will make zfstuil to mount ZFS with MS_RELATIME
set according to the setting in dataset in future patch.

As described in flags section of open(2):

The file is opened in append mode. Before each write(2), the
file offset is positioned at the end of the file, as if with
lseek(2). O_APPEND may lead to corrupted files on NFS filesys-
tems if more than one process appends data to a file at once.
This is because NFS does not support appending to a file, so the
client kernel has to simulate it, which can't be done without a
race condition.
This issue was originally overlooked because normally the generic
VFS code handles this for a filesystem. However, because ZFS explictly

nfsd uses do_readv_writev() to implement fops->read and fops->write.
do_readv_writev() will attempt to read/write using fops->aio_read and
fops->aio_write, but it will fallback to fops->read and fops->write when
AIO is not available. However, the fallback will perform a call for each
individual data page. Since our default recordsize is 128KB, sequential
operations on NFS will generate 32 DMU transactions where only 1
transaction was needed. That was unnecessary overhead and we implement
fops->aio_read and fops->aio_write to eliminate it.
ZFS originated in OpenSolaris, where the AIO API is entirely implemented
in userland's libc by intelligently mapping them to VOP_WRITE, VOP_READ
and VOP_FSYNC. Linux implements AIO inside the kernel itself. Linux
filesystems therefore must implement their own AIO logic and nearly all
of them implement fops->aio_write synchronously. Consequently, they do
not implement aio_fsync(). However, since the ZPL works by mapping
Linux's VFS calls to the functions implementing Illumos' VFS operations,
we instead implement AIO in the kernel by mapping the operations to the
VOP_READ, VOP_WRITE and VOP_FSYNC equivalents. We therefore implement
fops->aio_fsync.
One might be inclined to make our fops->aio_write implementation
synchronous to make software that expects this behavior safe. However,
there are several reasons not to do this:
1. Other platforms do not implement aio_write() synchronously and since
the majority of userland software using AIO should be cross platform,
expectations of synchronous behavior should not be a problem.
2. We would hurt the performance of programs that use POSIX interfaces
properly while simultaneously encouraging the creation of more
non-compliant software.
3. The broader community concluded that userland software should be
patched to properly use POSIX interfaces instead of implementing hacks
in filesystems to cater to broken software. This concept is best
described as the O_PONIES debate.
4. Making an asynchronous write synchronous is non sequitur.
Any software dependent on synchronous aio_write behavior will suffer
data loss on ZFSOnLinux in a kernel panic / system failure of at most
zfs_txg_timeout seconds, which by default is 5 seconds. This seems like
a reasonable consequence of using non-compliant software.
It should be noted that this is also a problem in the kernel itself
where nfsd does not pass O_SYNC on files opened with it and instead
relies on a open()/write()/close() to enforce synchronous behavior when
the flush is only guarenteed on last close.
Exporting any filesystem that does not implement AIO via NFS risks data
loss in the event of a kernel panic / system failure when something else
is also accessing the file. Exporting any file system that implements
AIO the way this patch does bears similar risk. However, it seems
reasonable to forgo crippling our AIO implementation in favor of
developing patches to fix this problem in Linux's nfsd for the reasons
stated earlier. In the interim, the risk will remain. Failing to
implement AIO will not change the problem that nfsd created, so there is
no reason for nfsd's mistake to block our implementation of AIO.
It also should be noted that `aio_cancel()` will always return
`AIO_NOTCANCELED` under this implementation. It is possible to implement
aio_cancel by deferring work to taskqs and use `kiocb_set_cancel_fn()`
to set a callback function for cancelling work sent to taskqs, but the
simpler approach is allowed by the specification:
```
Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.
```
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/aio_cancel.html
The only programs on my system that are capable of using `aio_cancel()`
are QEMU, beecrypt and fio use it according to a recursive grep of my
system's `/usr/src/debug`. That suggests that `aio_cancel()` users are
rare. Implementing aio_cancel() is left to a future date when it is
clear that there are consumers that benefit from its implementation to
justify the work.
Lastly, it is important to know that handling of the iovec updates differs
between Illumos and Linux in the implementation of read/write. On Linux,
it is the VFS' responsibility whle on Illumos, it is the filesystem's
responsibility. We take the intermediate solution of copying the iovec
so that the ZFS code can update it like on Solaris while leaving the
originals alone. This imposes some overhead. We could always revisit
this should profiling show that the allocations are a problem.

The comment in zfs_close states that "Under Linux the zfs_close() hook
is not symmetric with zfs_open()". This is not true. zfs_open/zfs_close
is associated with every successful struct file creation/deletion, which
should always be balanced.
Here is an example of what's wrong:
Process A B
open(O_SYNC)
z_sync_cnt = 1
open(O_SYNC)
z_sync_cnt = 2
close()
z_sync_cnt = 0
So z_sync_cnt is 0 even if B still has the file with O_SYNC.
Also moves the generic_file_open call before zfs_open to ensure that in
the case generic_file_open fails z_sync_cnt is not incremented. This
is safe because generic_file_open has no side effects.

Issue #1962
Currently, using msync() results in the following code path:
sys_msync -> zpl_fsync -> filemap_write_and_wait_range -> zpl_writepages -> write_cache_pages -> zpl_putpage
In such a code path, zil_commit() is called as part of zpl_putpage().
This means that for each page, the write is handed to the DMU, the ZIL
is committed, and only then do we move on to the next page. As one might
imagine, this results in atrocious performance where there is a large
number of pages to write: instead of committing a batch of N writes,
we do N commits containing one page each. In some extreme cases this
can result in msync() being ~700 times slower than it should be, as well
as very inefficient use of ZIL resources.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the requested writes
are batched and then committed only once. Unfortunately, the
implementation is somewhat non-trivial because there is no way to run
write_cache_pages in SYNC mode (so that we get all pages) without
making it wait on the writeback tag for each page.
The solution implemented here is composed of two parts:
- I added a new callback system to the ZIL, which allows the caller to
be notified when its ITX gets written to stable storage. One nice
thing is that the callback is called not only in zil_commit() but
in zil_sync() as well, which means that the caller doesn't have to
care whether the write ended up in the ZIL or the DMU: it will get
notified as soon as it's safe, period. This is an improvement over
dmu_tx_callback_register() that was used previously, which only
supports DMU writes. The rationale for this change is to allow
zpl_putpage() to be notified when a ZIL commit is completed without
having to block on zil_commit() itself.
- zpl_writepages() now calls write_cache_pages in non-SYNC mode, which
will prevent (1) write_cache_pages from blocking, and (2) zpl_putpage
from issuing ZIL commits. zpl_writepages() will issue the commit
itself instead of relying on zpl_putpage() to do it, thus nicely
batching the writes. Note, however, that we still have to call
write_cache_pages() again in SYNC mode because there is an edge case
documented in the implementation of write_cache_pages() whereas it
will not give us all dirty pages when running in non-SYNC mode. Thus
we need to run it at least once in SYNC mode to make sure we honor
persistency guarantees. This only happens when the pages are
modified at the same time msync() is running, which should be rare.
In most cases there won't be any additional pages and this second
call will do nothing.
Note that this change also fixes a bug related to #907 whereas calling
msync() on pages that were already handed over to the DMU in a previous
writepages() call would make msync() block until the next TXG sync
instead of returning as soon as the ZIL commit is complete. The new
callback system fixes that problem.

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
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.

The approach taken was the rework zfs_holey() as little as
possible and then just wrap the code as needed to ensure
correct locking and error handling.
Tested with xfstests 285 and 286. All tests pass except for
7-9 of 285 which try to reserve blocks first via fallocate(2)
and fail because fallocate(2) is not yet supported.
Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to
Linux 2.6.30, but we avoid the need for autotools check by
virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not
added until Linux 3.1.
An autoconf check was added for lseek_execute() which is
currently a private function but the expectation is that it
will be exported perhaps as early as Linux 3.11.

The txg_sync(), zfs_putpage(), zvol_write(), and zvol_discard()
call paths must only use KM_PUSHPAGE to avoid potential deadlocks
during direct reclaim.
This patch annotates these call paths so any accidental use of
KM_SLEEP will be quickly detected. In the interest of stability
if debugging is disabled the offending allocation will have its
GFP flags automatically corrected. When debugging is enabled
any misuse will be treated as a fatal error.
This patch is entirely for debugging. We should be careful to
NOT become dependant on it fixing up the incorrect allocations.

The commit, cfc9a5c88f, to fix deadlocks
in zpl_writepage() relied on PF_MEMALLOC. That had the effect of
disabling the direct reclaim path on all allocations originating from
calls to this function, but it failed to address the actual cause of
those deadlocks. This led to the same deadlocks being observed with
swap on zvols, but not with swap on the loop device, which exercises
this code.
The use of PF_MEMALLOC also had the side effect of permitting
allocations to be made from ZONE_DMA in instances that did not require
it. This contributes to the possibility of panics caused by depletion
of pages from ZONE_DMA.
As such, we revert this patch in favor of a proper fix for both issues.

Issue #726
Currently only the (FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) flag combination is
supported, since it's the only one that matches the behavior of
zfs_space(). This makes it pretty much useless in its current
form, but it's a start.
To support other flag combinations we would need to modify
zfs_space() to make it more flexible, or emulate the desired
functionality in zpl_fallocate().

The Linux 3.1 kernel updated the fops->fsync() callback yet again.
They now pass the requested range and delegate the responsibility
for calling filemap_write_and_wait_range() to the callback. In
addition imutex is no longer held by the caller and the callback
is responsible for taking the lock if required.

Issue #287
This warning was accidentally introduced by commit
f3ab88d646 which updated the
.readpages() implementation. The fix is to simply cast
the helper function to the appropriate type when passed.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
Unlike the .readpage() callback which is passed a single locked page
to be populated. The .readpages() callback is passed a list of unlocked
pages which are all marked for read-ahead (PG_readahead set). It is
the responsibly of .readpages() to ensure to pages are properly locked
before being populated.
Prior to this change the requested read-ahead pages would be updated
outside of the page lock which is unsafe. The unlocked pages would then
be unlocked again which is harmless but should have been immediately
detected as bug. Unfortunately, newer kernels failed detect this issue
because the check is done with a VM_BUG_ON which is disabled by default.
Luckily, the old Debian Lenny 2.6.26 kernel caught this because it
simply uses a BUG_ON.
The straight forward fix for this is to update the .readpages() callback
to use the read_cache_pages() helper function. The helper function will
ensure that each page in the list is properly locked before it is passed
to the .readpage() callback. In addition resolving the bug, this results
in a nice simplification of the existing code.
The downside to this change is that instead of passing one large read
request to the dmu multiple smaller ones are submitted. All of these
requests however are marked for readahead so the lower layers should
issue a large I/O regardless. Thus most of the request should hit the
ARC cache.
Futher optimization of this code can be done in the future is a perform
analysis determines it to be worthwhile. But for the moment, it is
preferable that code be correct and understandable.

Closes#355
While the existing implementation of .writepage()/zpl_putpage() was
functional it was not entirely correct. In particular, it would move
dirty pages in to a clean state simply after copying them in to the
ARC cache. This would result in the pages being lost if the system
were to crash enough though the Linux VFS believed them to be safe on
stable storage.
Since at the moment virtually all I/O, except mmap(2), bypasses the
page cache this isn't as bad as it sounds. However, as hopefully
start using the page cache more getting this right becomes more
important so it's good to improve this now.
This patch takes a big step in that direction by updating the code
to correctly move dirty pages through a writeback phase before they
are marked clean. When a dirty page is copied in to the ARC it will
now be set in writeback and a completion callback is registered with
the transaction. The page will stay in writeback until the dmu runs
the completion callback indicating the page is on stable storage.
At this point the page can be safely marked clean.
This process is normally entirely asynchronous and will be repeated
for every dirty page. This may initially sound inefficient but most
of these pages will end up in a few txgs. That means when they are
eventually written to disk they should be nicely batched. However,
there is room for improvement. It may still be desirable to batch
up the pages in to larger writes for the dmu. This would reduce
the number of callbacks and small 4k buffer required by the ARC.
Finally, if the caller requires that the I/O be done synchronously
by setting WB_SYNC_ALL or if ZFS_SYNC_ALWAYS is set. Then the I/O
will trigger a zil_commit() to flush the data to stable storage.
At which point the registered callbacks will be run leaving the
date safe of disk and marked clean before returning from .writepage.

Disable the normal reclaim path for zpl_putpage(). This ensures that
all memory allocations under this call path will never enter direct
reclaim. If this were to happen the VM might try to write out
additional pages by calling zpl_putpage() again resulting in a
deadlock.
This sitution is typically handled in Linux by marking each offending
allocation GFP_NOFS. However, since much of the code used is common
it makes more sense to use PF_MEMALLOC to flag the entire call tree.
Alternately, the code could be updated to pass the needed allocation
flags but that's a more invasive change.
The following example of the above described deadlock was triggered
by test 074 in the xfstest suite.

Under Linux the VFS handles virtually all of the mmap() access
checks. Filesystem specific checks are left to be handled in
the .mmap() hook and normally there arn't any.
However, ZFS provides a few attributes which can influence the
mmap behavior and should be honored. Note, currently the code
to modify these attributes has not been implemented under Linux.
* ZFS_IMMUTABLE | ZFS_READONLY | ZFS_APPENDONLY: when any of these
attributes are set a file may not be mmaped with write access.
* ZFS_AV_QUARANTINED: when set a file file may not be mmaped with

Issue #255
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.
Closes#230
As of Linux 2.6.29 a clean credential API was added to the Linux kernel.
Previously the credential was embedded in the task_struct. Because the
SPL already has considerable support for handling this API change the
ZPL code has been updated to use the Solaris credential API.
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.
