Stock Linux 2.6.32 and earlier kernels contained a broken version of
rwsem_is_locked() which could return an incorrect value. Because of
this compatibility code was added to detect the broken implementation
and replace it with our own if needed.
The fix for this issue was merged in to the mainline Linux kernel as
of 2.6.33 and the major enterprise distributions based on 2.6.32 have
all backported the fix. Therefore there is no longer a need to carry
this code and it can be removed.

Under Illumos taskq_wait() returns when there are no more tasks
in the queue. This behavior differs from ZoL and FreeBSD where
taskq_wait() returns when all the tasks in the queue at the
beginning of the taskq_wait() call are complete. New tasks
added whilst taskq_wait() is running will be ignored.
This difference in semantics makes it possible that new subtle
issues could be introduced when porting changes from Illumos.
To avoid that possibility the taskq_wait() function is being
updated such that it blocks until the queue in empty.
The previous behavior remains available through the
taskq_wait_outstanding() interface. Note that this function
was previously called taskq_wait_all() but has been renamed
to avoid confusion.

There are regions in the ZFS code where it is desirable to be able
to be set PF_FSTRANS while a specific mutex is held. The ZFS code
could be updated to set/clear this flag in all the correct places,

2) It would be easy to accidentally miss a critical region in
the initial patch or to have an future change introduce a

Issue #435
To minimize the size of a kmutex_t a MUTEX_OWNER check was added.
It allowed the kmutex_t wrapper to leverage the mutex owner which was
already stored in the mutex for certain kernel configurations.
The upside to this was that it reduced the size of the kmutex_t wrapper
structure by the size of a task_struct pointer (4/8 bytes). The
downside was that two mutex implementations needed to be maintained.
Depending on your exact kernel configuration the correct one would
be selected.
Over the years this solution worked but it could be fragile since it
depending heavily on assumed kernel mutex implementation details. For
example the SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER_TASK_STRUCT configure check needed to
be added when the kernel changed how the owner was stored. It also
made the code more complicated than it needed to be.
Therefore, in the name of simplicity and portability this optimization
is being retired. It will slightly increase the memory requirements
for a kmutex_t but only very slightly.

However, in the case when the kmalloc_node() fails it makes little

The __get_free_pages() function must be used in place of kmalloc()
to ensure the __GFP_COMP is strictly honored. This is due to
kmalloc() being layered on the generic Linux slab caches. It
wasn't until recently that all caches were created using __GFP_COMP.
This means that it is possible for a kmalloc() which passed the
__GFP_COMP flag to be returned a non-compound allocation.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
The kmem cache implementation always adds new slabs by dispatching a
task to the spl_kmem_cache taskq to perform the allocation. This is
done because large slabs must be allocated using vmalloc(). It is
possible these allocations will block on IO because the GFP_NOIO flag
is not honored. This can result in a deadlock.
Therefore, a deadlock detection strategy was implemented to deal with
this case. When it is determined, by timeout, that the spl_kmem_cache
thread has deadlocked attempting to add a new slab. Then all callers
attempting to allocate from the cache fall back to using kmalloc()
which does honor all passed flags.
This logic was correct but an optimization in the code allowed for a
deadlock. Because only slabs backed by vmalloc() can deadlock in the
way described above. An optimization was made to only invoke this
deadlock detection code for vmalloc() backed caches. This had the
advantage of making it easy to distinguish these objects when they
were freed.
But this isn't strictly safe. If all the spl_kmem_cache threads end
up deadlocked than we can't grow any of the other caches either. This
can once again result in a deadlock if memory needs to be allocated
from one of these other caches to ensure forward progress.
The fix here is to remove the optimization which limits this fall back
allocation stratagy to vmalloc() backed caches. Doing this means we
may need to take the cache lock in spl_kmem_cache_free() call path.
But this small cost can be mitigated by ignoring objects with virtual
addresses.
For good measure the default number of spl_kmem_cache threads has been
increased from 1 to 4, and made tunable. This alone wouldn't resolve
the original issue since it's still possible for all the threads to be
deadlocked. However, it does help responsiveness by ensuring that a
single deadlocked spl_kmem_cache thread doesn't block allocations from
other caches until the timeout is reached.

This change is designed to improve the memory utilization of
slabs by more carefully setting their size. The way the code
currently works is problematic for slabs which contain large
objects (>1MB). This is due to slabs being unconditionally
rounded up to a power of two which may result in unused space
at the end of the slab.
The reason the existing code rounds up every slab is because it
assumes it will backed by the buddy allocator. Since the buddy
allocator can only performs power of two allocations this is
desirable because it avoids wasting any space. However, this
logic breaks down if slab is backed by vmalloc() which operates
at a page level granularity. In this case, the optimal thing to
do is calculate the minimum required slab size given certain
constraints (object size, alignment, objects/slab, etc).
Therefore, this patch reworks the spl_slab_size() function so
that it sizes KMC_KMEM slabs differently than KMC_VMEM slabs.
KMC_KMEM slabs are rounded up to the nearest power of two, and
KMC_VMEM slabs are allowed to be the minimum required size.
This change also reduces the default number of objects per slab.
This reduces how much memory a single cache object can pin, which
can result in significant memory saving for highly fragmented
caches. But depending on the workload it may result in slabs
being allocated and freed more frequently. In practice, this
has been shown to be a better default for most workloads.
Also the maximum slab size has been reduced to 4MB on 32-bit
systems. Due to the limited virtual address space it's critical
the we be as frugal as possible. A limit of 4M still lets us
reasonably comfortably allocate a limited number of 1MB objects.
Finally, the kmem:slab_small and kmem:slab_large SPLAT tests
were extended to provide better test coverage of various object
sizes and alignments. Caches are created with random parameters
and their basic functionality is verified by allocating several
slabs worth of objects.

* clear_bit() is atomic and may not be reordered. However, it does
* not contain a memory barrier, so if it is used for locking purposes,
* you should call smp_mb__before_atomic() and/or smp_mb__after_atomic()
* in order to ensure changes are visible on other processors.
*/
This comment does not make sense in the context of x86 because x86 maps the
operations to barrier(), which is a compiler barrier. However, it does make
sense to me when I consider architectures that reorder around atomic
instructions. In such situations, a processor is allowed to execute the
wake_up_bit() before clear_bit() and we have a race. There are a few
architectures that suffer from this issue.
In such situations, the other processor would wake-up, see the bit is still
taken and go to sleep, while the one responsible for waking it up will
assume that it did its job and continue.
This patch implements a wrapper that maps smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() to
smp_mb__{before,after}_clear_bit() on older kernels and changes our code to
leverage it in a manner consistent with the mainline kernel.

The port of XFS to Linux introduced a thread-specific PF_FSTRANS bit
that is used to mark contexts which are processing transactions. When
set, allocations in this context can dip into kernel memory reserves
to avoid deadlocks during writeback. Linux 3.9 provided the additional
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for disabling __GFP_IO in page allocations, which XFS
began using in 3.15.
This patch implements hooks for marking transactions via PF_FSTRANS.
When an allocation is performed in the context of PF_FSTRANS, any
KM_SLEEP allocation is transparently converted to a GFP_NOIO allocation.
Additionally, when using a Linux 3.9 or newer kernel, it will set
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO to prevent direct reclaim from entering pageout() on
on any KM_PUSHPAGE or KM_NOSLEEP allocation. This effectively allows
the spl_vmalloc() helper function to be used safely in a thread which
is responsible for IO.

This patch achieves the following goals:
1. It replaces the preprocessor kmem flag to gfp flag mapping with
proper translation logic. This eliminates the potential for
surprises that were previously possible where kmem flags were
mapped to gfp flags.
2. It maps vmem_alloc() allocations to kmem_alloc() for allocations
sized less than or equal to the newly-added spl_kmem_alloc_max
parameter. This ensures that small allocations will not contend
on a single global lock, large allocations can still be handled,
and potentially limited virtual address space will not be squandered.
This behavior is entirely different than under Illumos due to
different memory management strategies employed by the respective
kernels. However, this functionally provides the semantics required.
3. The --disable-debug-kmem, --enable-debug-kmem (default), and
--enable-debug-kmem-tracking allocators have been unified in to
a single spl_kmem_alloc_impl() allocation function. This was
done to simplify the code and make it more maintainable.
4. Improve portability by exposing an implementation of the memory
allocations functions that can be safely used in the same way
they are used on Illumos. Specifically, callers may safely
use KM_SLEEP in contexts which perform filesystem IO. This
allows us to eliminate an entire class of Linux specific changes
which were previously required to avoid deadlocking the system.
This change will be largely transparent to existing callers but there
are a few caveats:
1. Because the headers were refactored and extraneous includes removed
callers may find they need to explicitly add additional #includes.
In particular, kmem_cache.h must now be explicitly includes to
access the SPL's kmem cache implementation. This behavior is
different from Illumos but it was done to avoid always masking
the Linux slab functions when kmem.h is included.
2. Callers, like Lustre, which made assumptions about the definitions
of KM_SLEEP, KM_NOSLEEP, and KM_PUSHPAGE will need to be updated.
Other callers such as ZFS which did not will not require changes.
3. KM_PUSHPAGE is no longer overloaded to imply GFP_NOIO. It retains
its original meaning of allowing allocations to access reserved
memory. KM_PUSHPAGE callers can be converted back to KM_SLEEP.
4. The KM_NODEBUG flags has been retired and the default warning
threshold increased to 32k.
5. The kmem_virt() functions has been removed. For callers which
need to distinguish between a physical and virtual address use
is_vmalloc_addr().

It is known that mutexes in Linux are not safe when using them to
synchronize the freeing of object in which the mutex is embedded:
http://lwn.net/Articles/575477/
The known places in ZFS which are suspected to suffer from the race
condition are zio->io_lock and dbuf->db_mtx.
* zio uses zio->io_lock and zio->io_cv to synchronize freeing
between zio_wait() and zio_done().
* dbuf uses dbuf->db_mtx to protect reference counting.
This patch fixes this kind of race by forcing serialization on
mutex_exit() with a spin lock, making the mutex safe by sacrificing
a bit of performance and memory overhead.
This issue most commonly manifests itself as a deadlock in the zio
pipeline caused by a process spinning on the damaged mutex. Similar
deadlocks have been reported for the dbuf->db_mtx mutex. And it can
also cause a NULL dereference or bad paging request under the right
circumstances.

accordingly to verify this functionality.

When building zfs modules with kernel, compiled from deb.src, the
packaging process ends up installing the modules in the wrong place.

Closes#384
This has a few benefits. First, it fixes a regression that "Rework
generic memory allocation interfaces" appears to have triggered in
splat's slab_reap and slab_age tests. Second, it makes porting code from
Illumos to ZFSOnLinux easier. Third, it has the side effect of making
reclaim from slab caches that specify reclaim functions an order of
magnitude faster. The splat slab_reap test usually took 30 to 40
seconds. With this change, it takes 3 to 4.

Issue #369
The new shrinker API as of Linux 3.12 modifies "struct shrinker" by
replacing the @shrink callback with the pair of @count_objects and
@scan_objects. It also requires the return value of @count_objects to
return the number of objects actually freed whereas the previous @shrink
callback returned the number of remaining freeable objects.
This patch adds support for the new @scan_objects return value semantics
and updates the splat shrinker test case appropriately.

Closes#403
Over the years the SPL code bases has accumulated compatibly code
to allow it to build against a wide range of Linux kernels. In
general this is desirable because it makes the code flexible.
However, once support for these old kernels is no longer needed
and is no longer being actively tested it should be removed. This
helps keep the code simple and understandable.
The spl-0.6.x releases have supported kernels all the way back to
2.6.26. This patch stack moves that cut off up to 2.6.32 and newer
kernels. This ensures we still support all the major enterprise
distributions which are largely locked in to 2.6.32 based kernels.
And at the same time we can shed a large amount of compatibility
code which simplifies maintenance and new development.

Closes#395
The vfs_fsync() function has been available since Linux 2.6.29.
There is no longer a need to maintain this compatibility code.
However, the HAVE_2ARGS_VFS_FSYNC check was left in place
since that change occured after 2.6.32.
