Commit b39c22b set the READ_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC flags for a bio
based on the ZIO_PRIORITY_* flag passed in. This had the unnoticed
side-effect of making the vdev_disk_io_start() synchronous for
certain I/Os.
This in turn resulted in vdev_disk_io_start() being able to
re-dispatch zio's which would result in a RCU stalls when a disk
was removed from the system. Additionally, this could negatively
impact performance and explains the performance regressions reported
in both #3829 and #3780.
This patch resolves the issue by making the blocking behavior
dependent on a 'wait' flag being passed rather than overloading
the passed bio flags.
Finally, the WRITE_SYNC and READ_SYNC behavior is restricted to
non-rotational devices where there is no benefit to queuing to
aggregate the I/O.

zfsonlinux/zfs@e20cd6f7a8 caused us to
lose IO accounting on zvols. When I originally wrote that last year, the
symbols we needed to maintain IO accounting were GPL exported, but
torvalds/linux@394ffa503b provided
suitable symbols for restoring this functionality 4 months later. We
can call them to restore the IO accounting on Linux 3.19 and later as
well as any older kernels where that patch is backported.

Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.
Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.
Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:
1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.
An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.
Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

Re-factor the .zfs/snapshot auto-mouting code to take in to account
changes made to the upstream kernels. And to lay the groundwork for
enabling access to .zfs snapshots via NFS clients. This patch makes
the following core improvements.
* All actively auto-mounted snapshots are now tracked in two global
trees which are indexed by snapshot name and objset id respectively.
This allows for fast lookups of any auto-mounted snapshot regardless
without needing access to the parent dataset.
* Snapshot entries are added to the tree in zfsctl_snapshot_mount().
However, they are now removed from the tree in the context of the
unmount process. This eliminates the need complicated error logic
in zfsctl_snapshot_unmount() to handle unmount failures.
* References are now taken on the snapshot entries in the tree to
ensure they always remain valid while a task is outstanding.
* The MNT_SHRINKABLE flag is set on the snapshot vfsmount_t right
after the auto-mount succeeds. This allows to kernel to unmount
idle auto-mounted snapshots if needed removing the need for the
zfsctl_unmount_snapshots() function.
* Snapshots in active use will not be automatically unmounted. As
long as at least one dentry is revalidated every zfs_expire_snapshot/2
seconds the auto-unmount expiration timer will be extended.
* Commit torvalds/linux@bafc9b7 caused snapshots auto-mounted by ZFS
to be immediately unmounted when the dentry was revalidated. This
was a consequence of ZFS invaliding all snapdir dentries to ensure that
negative dentries didn't mask new snapshots. This patch modifies the
behavior such that only negative dentries are invalidated. This solves
the issue and may result in a performance improvement.

As of Linux 4.2 the kernel has completely retired the nameidata

were the follow_link() and put_link() callbacks.
This patch adds the required checks to configure to detect the
interface change and updates the functions accordingly. Migrating
to the simple_follow_link() interface was considered but was decided
against ironically due to the increased complexity.
It also should be noted that the kernel follow_link() and put_link()

For kernels which do not implement a per-suberblock shrinker,
those older than Linux 3.1, the shrink_dcache_parent() function
was used to attempt to reclaim dentries. This was found not be
entirely reliable and could lead to performance issues on older
kernels running meta-data heavy workloads.
To address this issue a zfs_sb_prune_aliases() function has been
added to implement this functionality. It relies on traversing
the list of znodes for a filesystem and adding them to a private
list with a reference held. The private list can then be safely
walked outside the z_znodes_lock to prune dentires and drop the
last reference so the inode can be freed.
This provides the same synchronous behavior as the per-filesystem
shrinker and has the advantage of depending on only long standing
interfaces.

Issue #2953
This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux
code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync
with Illumos.
The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of
reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding,
etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to
export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a
number of reasons:
* A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints
"automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap)
* Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled
* It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of
information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too.
Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well:
* Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed
modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported.
Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this
patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel;
exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules.
* Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux
tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules
(tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint).
Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to
loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or
newer.
Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an
example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes
(all commands run as 'root'):
# list all zfs tracepoints available
$ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs
enable filter zfs_arc__delete
zfs_arc__evict zfs_arc__hit zfs_arc__miss

For the specific tracepoint shown here, 'zfs_arc__miss', data is

This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable
when trying to answer certain kinds of questions.
For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS
source code along with the following three web links to be extremely
helpful:
* http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/
I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch:
* The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to
support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the
contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is
provided, conftest.h will be empty.
* The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced.
This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro,
except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as
the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE.
These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux
tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro
API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used
internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file).
* The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This
is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint
functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code
due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without
this check, the build process will fail at link time.
In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well.
To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory
and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The
dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as
well.

GCC >+ 4.8's aggressive loop optimization breaks some of the iterators
over the dn_blkptr[] pseudo-array in dnode_phys. Since dn_blkptr[] is
defined as a single-element array, GCC believes an iterator can only
access index 0 and will unroll the loop into a single iteration.
One way to resolve the issue would be to cast the array to a pointer
and fix all the iterators that might break. The only loop where it
is known to cause a problem is this loop in dmu_objset_write_ready():
for (i = 0; i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
bp->blk_fill += dnp->dn_blkptr[i].blk_fill;
In the common case where dn_nblkptr is 3, the loop is only executed a
single time and "i" is equal to 1 following the loop.
The specific breakage caused by this problem is that the blk_fill of
root block pointers wouldn't be set properly when more than one blkptr
is in use (when no indrect blocks are needed).
The simple reproducing sequence is:
zpool create tank /tank.img
zdb -ddddd tank 0
Notice that "fill=31", however, there are two L0 indirect blocks with
"F=31" and "F=5". The fill count should be 36 rather than 31. This
problem causes an assert to be hit in a simple "zdb tank" when built
with --enable-debug.
However, this approach was not taken because we need to be absolutely
sure we catch all instances of this unwanted optimization. Therefore,
the build system has been updated to detect if GCC supports the
aggressive loop optimization. If it does the optimization will be
explicitly disabled using the -fno-aggressive-loop-optimization option.

be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.
By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property. Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them. If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.

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
The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the
3.0 kernel was supposed to provide a safe way to call an arbitrary
function on all super blocks of a specific type. Unfortunately,
because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.
This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself. If the
iterate_supers_type() function happened to be processing the
removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.
The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head
to an hlist_node. However, to resolve the issue for existing
3.0 - 3.2 kernels we detect when a list_head is used. Then to
prevent the spinning from occurring the .next pointer is set to
the fs_supers list_head which ensures the iterate_supers_type()
function will always terminate.

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 previous code was only waiting for the symver file. But the
postinst target of the DKMS script for SPL will not only create
the symvers file, but also the header spl_config.h.
If we are waiting in the configure script of ZFS for the SPL
symvers file, then we also need to wait for spl_config.h.
Otherwise the configure script will abort because the spl_config.h
is not yet available.
On top of that, the function ZFS_AC_SPL_MODULE_SYMVERS is moved
to the end of the function ZFS_AC_SPL to allow both checks share
the with-spl-timeout parameter.

Because the install location for the spl/zfs-devel headers was
changed we need to refresh the auto-detect code. Note that
for packaging which already explicitly calls --with-spl{-obj}
nothing has changed.
The updated code is now structured like that in ZFS_AC_KERNEL
and should be cleaner and easier to maintain. In addition,
it's stricter about detecting a valid source and object
directory. It requires:
* The source directory contains the file 'spl.release'
* The object directory contains the file 'spl_config.h'
* The following paths will be checked. Notice the /var/lib/
and /usr/src paths require that the spl and zfs version be
matched. This is done to prevent accidentally mixing releases.
dnl # 1) /var/lib/dkms/spl/<version>/build
dnl # 2) /usr/src/spl-<version>/<kernel-version>
dnl # 3) /usr/src/spl-<version>
dnl # 4) ../spl

To determine whether the kernel is capable of handling empty barrier
BIOs, we check for the presence of the bio_empty_barrier() macro,
which was introduced in 2.6.24. If this macro is defined, then we can
flush disk vdevs; if it isn't, then flushing is disabled.
Unfortunately, the bio_empty_barrier() macro was removed in 2.6.37,
even though the kernel is still capable of handling empty barrier BIOs.
As a result, flushing is effectively disabled on kernels >= 2.6.37,
meaning that starting from this kernel version, zfs doesn't use
barriers to guarantee on-disk data consistency. This is quite bad and
can lead to potential data corruption on power failures.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the configure check for
bio_empty_barrier(), as we don't support kernels <= 2.6.24 anymore.
Thanks to Richard Kojedzinszky for catching this nasty bug.

As a matter of fact, we're already using -Werror for most tests because
of a bug in kernel-bio-empty-barrier.m4 which sets -Werror without
reverting it afterwards. This meant that all tests which ran after this
one was using -Werror.
This patch simply makes it clear that we're using -Werror and makes
the code more readable and more predictable.

It's doubtful many people were impacted by this but commit 6c28567
accidentally broke ZFS builds for 2.6.26 and earlier kernels. This
commit depends on the lookup_bdev() function which exists in 2.6.26
but wasn't exported until 2.6.27.
The availability of the function isn't critical so a wrapper is
introduced which returns ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUP) when the function isn't
defined. This will have the effect of causing zvol_is_zvol() to
always fail for 2.6.26 kernels. This in turn means vdevs will
always get opened concurrently which is good for normal usage.
This will only become an issue if your using a zvol as a vdev in
another pool. In which case you really should be using a newer
kernel anyway.

As of Linux 2.6.37 the right way to register custom dentry
operations is to use the super block's ->s_d_op field.
For older kernels they should be registered as part of the
lookup operation.

Lookups in the snapshot control directory for an existing snapshot
fail with ENOENT if an earlier lookup failed before the snapshot was
created. This is because the earlier lookup causes a negative dentry
to be cached which is never invalidated.
The bug can be reproduced as follows (the second ls should succeed):
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
$ zfs snap tank@s
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
To remedy this, always invalidate cached dentries in the snapshot
control directory. Since these entries never exist on disk there is
no significant performance penalty for the extra lookups.

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.

Previously this check was only performed when ./configure was
attempting to autodetect your kernel source directory. But we
should also handle the case where --with-linux was provided
and is obviously wrong. This way we catch the error before
invoking make and compiling the source with an incorrect
autoconf results.

Use the bdev_physical_block_size() interface to determine the
minimize write size which can be issued without incurring a
read-modify-write operation. This is used to set the ashift
correctly to prevent a performance penalty when using AF hard
disks.
Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
it's not uncommon for disks to misreport this value. For this
reason you may still need to manually set your ashift with:
zpool create -o ashift=12 ...
The solution to this in the upstream Illumos source was to add
a white list of known offending drives. Maintaining such a list
will be a burden, but it still may be worth doing if we can
detect a large number of these drives. This should be considered
as future work.
