761394b3af call_usermodehelper() should wait for process
As of Linux 3.4 the UMH_WAIT_* constants were renumbered.  In
particular, the meaning of "1" changed from UMH_WAIT_PROC (wait for
process to complete), to UMH_WAIT_EXEC (wait for the exec, but not the
process).  A number of call sites used the number 1 instead of the
constant name, so the behavior was not as expected on kernels with this
change.

One visible consequence of this change was that processes accessing
automounted snapshots received an ELOOP error because they failed to
wait for zfs.mount to complete.

1c50c992ba Revert "Avoid ELOOP on auto-mounted snapshots"
This reverts commit 7afcf5b1da which
accidentally introduced a regression with the .zfs snapshot directory.
While the updated code still does correctly mount the requested
snapshot.  It updates the vfsmount such that it references the
original dataset vfsmount.  The result is that the snapshot itself
isn't visible.

4cec9b2dc7 Only reduce __zio_execute() stack usage in kernel space
Related to 91579709fc we need to
be very careful about not overrunning the stack in kernel space.
However, in user space we're already allowing slightly larger
stacks so this stack usage optimization is not required there.

91579709fc Fix __zio_execute() asynchronous dispatch
To save valuable stack all zio's were made asynchronous when in the
tgx_sync_thread context or during pool initialization.  See commit
2fac4c2 for the original patch and motivation.

Unfortuantely, the changes to dsl_pool_sync_context() made by the
feature flags broke this logic causing in __zio_execute() to dispatch
itself infinitely when called during pool initialization.  This
commit refines the existing logic to specificly target only the two
cases we care about.

37f000c5aa Fix gcc array subscript above bounds warning
In a debug build, certain GCC versions flag an array bounds warning in
the below code from dnode_sync.c

    } else {
            int i;
            ASSERT(dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff] < dnp->dn_nblkptr);
            /* the blkptrs we are losing better be unallocated */
            for (i = dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff];
                i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
                    ASSERT(BP_IS_HOLE(&dnp->dn_blkptr[i]));

This usage is in fact safe, since the ASSERT ensures the index does
not exceed to maximum possible number of block pointers. However gcc
can't determine that the assignment 'i = dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff];'
falls within the array bounds so it issues a warning.  To avoid this,
initialize i to zero to make gcc happy but skip the elements before
dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff] in the loop body.  Since a dnode contains
at most 3 block pointers this overhead should be negligible.

72f53c5694 Revert part of "Log I/Os longer than zio_delay_max (30s default)"
This reverts commit 9dcb971983
which was originally introduced to debug occasional slow I/Os.
These I/Os would complete eventually but were observed to take
several 100 seconds.

The root cause of this issue was the CFQ scheduler which can,
under certain conditions, excessively delay an I/O from being
issued to the device.  This issue was mitigated somewhat by
commit 84daaddedb which ensures
the I/O elevator gets changed even for DM style devices.

This change isn't in any way harmful but it does conflict with
a required change to properly account from I/O wait time.
Because Linux does not export the io_schedule_timeout() function
we must instead rely  on io_schedule() via cv_wait_io().

The additional debugging information which was added to the
delay event has been intentionally left in place.

65d56083b4 Fix zpool on zvol lock inversion deadlock
In all but one case the spa_namespace_lock is taken before the
bdev->bd_mutex lock.  But Linux __blkdev_get() function calls
fops->open() with the bdev->bd_mutex lock held and we must
somehow still safely acquire the spa_namespace_lock.

To avoid a potential lock inversion deadlock we preemptively
try to take the spa_namespace_lock().  Normally it will not
be contended and this is safe because spa_open_common() handles
the case where the caller already holds the spa_namespace_lock.

When it is contended we risk a lock inversion if we were to
block waiting for the lock.  Luckily, the __blkdev_get()
function allows us to return -ERESTARTSYS which will result in
bdev->bd_mutex being dropped, reacquired, and fops->open() being
called again.  This process can be repeated safely until both
locks are acquired.

31f2b5abdf Remove TSD zfs_fsyncer_key
It's my understanding that the zfs_fsyncer_key TSD was added as
a performance omtimization to reduce contention on the zl_lock
from zil_commit().  This issue manifested itself as very long
(100+ms) fsync() system call times for fsync() heavy workloads.

However, under Linux I'm not seeing the same contention that
was originally described.  Therefore, I'm removing this code
in order to ween ourselves off any dependence on TSD.  If the
original performance issue reappears on Linux we can revisit
fixing it without resorting to TSD.

This just leaves one small ZFS TSD consumer.  If it can be
cleanly removed from the code we'll be able to shed the SPL
TSD implementation entirely.

84daaddedb Set elevator for DM devices despite vdev_wholedisk
The current state of udev and devicer-mapper devices makes it difficult
to construct a mapping of DM partitions and their underlying DM device.
For example, with a /dev directory with the following contents:

    $ ls -d /dev/dm-*
    /dev/dm-0
    /dev/dm-1
    /dev/dm-2
    /dev/dm-3

it is not immediately apparent if these are completely separate devices,
or partitions and real devices intermixed. In contrast, SCSI devices
would appear as so:

    $ ls -d /dev/sd*
    /dev/sda
    /dev/sda1
    /dev/sdb
    /dev/sdb1

Here, one can immediately determine that there are two devices (sda and
sdb), each containing a single partition. The lack of a predictable and
consistent mapping from DM devices to DM device partitions makes it
difficult for user space to process these devices the same way it does
SCSI devices.

As a result, the ZFS utilities do not partition DM devices, and instead
set the "vdev_wholedisk" label to 0 and treat them as partitions. This
has the side effect that, even if ZFS has sole ownership of the device,
the IO scheduler will not be modified because it is treated as a
partition.

This change adds an exception for DM devices in vdev_elevator_switch,
allowing the elevator to be modified even though the "vdev_wholedisk"
property is not set.

6c2856726f Fix using zvol as slog device
During the original ZoL port the vdev_uses_zvols() function was
disabled until it could be properly implemented.  This prevented
a zpool from use a zvol for its slog device.

This patch implements that missing functionality by adding a
zvol_is_zvol() function to zvol.c.  Given the full path to a
device it will lookup the device and verify its major number
against the registered zvol major number for the system.  If
they match we know the device is a zvol.

8780c53961 Update SAs when an inode is dirtied
Revert the portion of commit d3aa3ea which always resulted in the
SAs being update when an mmap()'ed file was closed.  That change
accidentally resulted in unexpected ctime updates which upset tools
like git.  That was always a horrible hack and I'm happy it will
never make it in to a tagged release.

The right fix is something I initially resisted doing because I
was worried about the additional overhead.  However, in hindsight
the overhead isn't as bad as I feared.

This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is
unsurprisingly called when an inode is dirtied.  We leverage this
callback to keep the znode SAs strictly in sync with the inode.

However, for now we're going to go slowly to avoid introducing
any new unexpected issues by only updating the atime, mtime, and
ctime.  This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

2ae1031962 Linux 3.7 compat, schedule_delayed_work()
Linux kernel commit d8e794d accidentally broke the delayed work
APIs for non-GPL callers.   While the APIs to schedule a delayed
work item are still available to all callers, it is no longer
possible to initialize the delayed work item.

I'm cautiously optimistic we could get the delayed_work_timer_fn
exported for all callers in the upstream kernel.  But frankly
the compatibility code to use this kernel interface has always
been problematic.

Therefore, this patch abandons direct use the of the Linux
kernel interface in favor of the new delayed taskq interface.
It provides roughly the same functionality as delayed work queues
but it's a stable interface under our control.

This change forces all xattr znodes to hold a reference on their

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

d3aa3ea96e Preserve inode mtime/ctime in .writepage()
When updating a file via mmap()'ed I/O preserve the mtime/ctime
which were updated when the page was made writable by the generic
callback filemap_page_mkwrite().

But more importantly than preserving the exact time add the missing
call to sa_bulk_update().  This ensures that the znode modifications
are written to disk as part of the transaction.  Without this the
inode may mistaken rollback to the previous on-disk znode state.

Additionally, for mmap()'ed znodes explicitly set the atime, mtime,
and ctime on close using the up to date values in the inode.  This
is critical because writepage() may occur after close and on close
we need to ensure the values are correct.

e89260a1c8 Directory xattr znodes hold a reference on their parent
Unlike normal file or directory znodes, an xattr znode is
guaranteed to only have a single parent.  Therefore, we can
take a refernce on that parent if it is provided at create
time and cache it.  Additionally, we take care to cache it
on any subsequent zfs_zaccess() where the parent is provided
as an optimization.

This allows us to avoid needing to do a zfs_zget() when
setting up the SELinux security xattr in the create path.
This is critical because a hash lookup on the directory
will deadlock since it is locked.

The zpl_xattr_security_init() call has also been moved up
to the zpl layer to ensure TXs to create the required
xattrs are performed after the create TX.  Otherwise we
run the risk of deadlocking on the open create TX.

Ideally the security xattr should be fully constructed
before the new inode is unlocked.  However, doing so would
require far more extensive changes to ZFS.

This change may also have the benefitial side effect of
ensuring xattr directory znodes are evicted from the cache
before normal file or directory znodes due to the extra
reference.

This patch has been slightly modified from the upstream Illumos
version.  In the upstream implementation a warning message is
logged to the console.  To prevent pointless console noise this
notification is now posted as a "ereport.fs.zfs.vdev.bad_ashift"
event.

The event indicates a non-optimial (but entirely safe) ashift
value was used to create the pool.  Depending on your workload
this may impact pool performance.  Unfortunately, the only way
to correct the issue is to recreate the pool with a new ashift.

NOTE: The unrelated fix to the comment in zpool_main.c appears
in the upstream commit and was preserved for consistnecy.

4c837f0d93 Fix "allocating allocated segment" panic
Gunnar Beutner did all the hard work on this one by correctly
identifying that this issue is a race between dmu_sync() and
dbuf_dirty().

Now in all cases the caller is responsible for preventing this
race by making sure the zfs_range_lock() is held when dirtying
a buffer which may be referenced in a log record.  The mmap
case which relies on zfs_putpage() was not taking the range
lock.  This code was accidentally dropped when the function
was rewritten for the Linux VFS.

This patch adds the required range locking to zfs_putpage().

It also adds the missing ZFS_ENTER()/ZFS_EXIT() macros which
aren't strictly required due to the VFS holding a reference.
However, this makes the code more consistent with the upsteam
code and there's no harm in being extra careful here.

e26ade5101 Fix zvol+btrfs hang
When using a zvol to back a btrfs filesystem the btrfs mount
would hang.  This was due to the bio completion callback used
in btrfs assuming that lower level drivers would never modify
the bio->bi_io_vecs after they were submitted via bio_submit().
If they are modified btrfs will miscalculate which pages need
to be unlocked resulting in a hang.

It's worth mentioning that other file systems such as ext[234]
and xfs work fine because they do not make the same assumption
in the bio completion callback.

The most straight forward way to fix the issue is to present
the semantics expected by btrfs.  This is done by cloning the
bios attached to each request and then using the clones bvecs

9dcb971983 Log I/Os longer than zio_delay_max (30s default)
There have been reports of ZFS deadlocking due to what appears to
be a lost IO.  This patch addes some debugging to determine the
exact state of the IO which neither 1) completed, 2) failed, or
3) timed out after zio_delay_max (30) seconds.

This information will be logged using the ZFS FMA infrastructure
as a 'delay' event and posted to the internal zevent log.  By
default the last 64 events will be kept in the log but the limit
is configurable via the zfs_zevent_len_max module option.

To dump the contents of the log use the 'zpool events -v' command
and look for the resource.fs.zfs.delay event.  It will include
various information about the pool, vdev, and zio which may shed
some light on the issue.

In the context of this change the 120 second kernel blocked thread
watchdog has been disabled for synchronous IOs.

e8fd45a0f9 Add ddt_object_count() error handling
The interface for the ddt_zap_count() function assumes it can
never fail.  However, internally ddt_zap_count() is implemented
with zap_count() which can potentially fail.  Now because there
was no way to return the error to the caller a VERIFY was used
to ensure this case never happens.

Unfortunately, it has been observed that pools can be damaged in
such a way that zap_count() fails.  The result is that the pool can
not be imported without hitting the VERIFY and crashing the system.

This patch reworks ddt_object_count() so the error can be safely
caught and returned to the caller.  This allows a pool which has
be damaged in this way to be safely rewound for import.

5d7a86d114 Use the slog even with logbias=throughput.
In the current code, logbias=throughput implies the following:
 1) All synchronous writes are logged in indirect mode.
 2) The slog is not used.

(1) makes sense because it avoids writing the data twice, which is
obviously a good thing when the user wants maximum pool throughput.

(2), however, is a surprising decision. Considering all writes are
indirect, the log record doesn't contain the actual data, only pointers
to DMU blocks. As a result, log records written in logbias=throughput
mode are quite small, and as such, it doesn't make any sense to write
them to the main pool since slogs are usually optimized for small
synchronous writes.

In fact, the current behavior is actually harmful for performance,
because log blocks and data blocks from dmu_sync() seldom have the same
allocation size and as a result are usually allocated from different
metaslabs. This means that if a spindle has to write both log blocks and
DMU blocks (which is likely to happen under heavy load), it will have to
seek between the two. Allocating the log blocks from the slog pool
instead of the main pool avoids these unnecessary seeks.

This commit makes ZFS use the slog on datasets with logbias=throughput.
Real-life performance testing shows a 50% synchronous write performance
increase with some large commit sizes, and no negative effect in other
cases.

920dd524fb Add FASTWRITE algorithm for synchronous writes.
Currently, ZIL blocks are spread over vdevs using hint block pointers
managed by the ZIL commit code and passed to metaslab_alloc(). Spreading
log blocks accross vdevs is important for performance: indeed, using
mutliple disks in parallel decreases the ZIL commit latency, which is
the main performance metric for synchronous writes. However, the current
implementation suffers from the following issues:

1) It would be best if the ZIL module was not aware of such low-level
details. They should be handled by the ZIO and metaslab modules;

2) Because the hint block pointer is managed per log, simultaneous
commits from multiple logs might use the same vdevs at the same time,
which is inefficient;

3) Because dmu_write() does not honor the block pointer hint, indirect
writes are not spread.

The naive solution of rotating the metaslab rotor each time a block is
allocated for the ZIL or dmu_sync() doesn't work in practice because the
first ZIL block to be written is actually allocated during the previous
commit. Consequently, when metaslab_alloc() decides the vdev for this
block, it will do so while a bunch of other allocations are happening at
the same time (from dmu_sync() and other ZILs). This means the vdev for
this block is chosen more or less at random. When the next commit
happens, there is a high chance (especially when the number of blocks
per commit is slightly less than the number of the disks) that one disk
will have to write two blocks (with a potential seek) while other disks
are sitting idle, which defeats spreading and increases the commit
latency.

This commit introduces a new concept in the metaslab allocator:
fastwrites. Basically, each top-level vdev maintains a counter
indicating the number of synchronous writes (from dmu_sync() and the
ZIL) which have been allocated but not yet completed. When the metaslab
is called with the FASTWRITE flag, it will choose the vdev with the
least amount of pending synchronous writes. If there are multiple vdevs
with the same value, the first matching vdev (starting from the rotor)
is used. Once metaslab_alloc() has decided which vdev the block is
allocated to, it updates the fastwrite counter for this vdev.

The rationale goes like this: when an allocation is done with
FASTWRITE, it "reserves" the vdev until the data is written. Until then,
all future allocations will naturally avoid this vdev, even after a full
rotation of the rotor. As a result, pending synchronous writes at a
given point in time will be nicely spread over all vdevs. This contrasts
with the previous algorithm, which is based on the implicit assumption
that blocks are written instantaneously after they're allocated.

metaslab_fastwrite_mark() and metaslab_fastwrite_unmark() are used to
manually increase or decrease fastwrite counters, respectively. They
should be used with caution, as there is no per-BP tracking of fastwrite
information, so leaks and "double-unmarks" are possible. There is,
however, an assert in the vdev teardown code which will fire if the
fastwrite counters are not zero when the pool is exported or the vdev
removed. Note that as stated above, marking is also done implictly by
metaslab_alloc().

ZIO also got a new FASTWRITE flag; when it is used, ZIO will pass it to
the metaslab when allocating (assuming ZIO does the allocation, which is
only true in the case of dmu_sync). This flag will also trigger an
unmark when zio_done() fires.

A side-effect of the new algorithm is that when a ZIL stops being used,
its last block can stay in the pending state (allocated but not yet
written) for a long time, polluting the fastwrite counters. To avoid
that, I've implemented a somewhat crude but working solution which
unmarks these pending blocks in zil_sync(), thus guaranteeing that
linguering fastwrites will get pruned at each sync event.

The best performance improvements are observed with pools using a large
number of top-level vdevs and heavy synchronous write workflows
(especially indirect writes and concurrent writes from multiple ZILs).
Real-life testing shows a 200% to 300% performance increase with
indirect writes and various commit sizes.
