9b51f21841 Remove TQ_SLEEP -> KM_SLEEP mapping
When the taskq code was originally written it seemed like a good
idea to simply map TQ_SLEEP to KM_SLEEP.  Unfortunately, this
assumed that the TQ_* flags would never confict with any of the
Linux GFP_* flags.  When adding the TQ_PUSHPAGE support in commit
cd5ca4b this invariant was accidentally broken.

Therefore to support TQ_PUSHPAGE, which is needed for Linux, and
prevent any further confusion I have removed this direct mapping.
The TQ_SLEEP, TQ_NOSLEEP, and TQ_PUSHPAGE are no longer defined
in terms of their KM_* counterparts.  Instead a simple mapping
function is introduce to convert TQ_* -> KM_* where needed.

3c60f5054c Debug cv_destroy() with mutex held
There still appears to be a race in the condition variables where
->cv_mutex is set after we are woken from the cv_destroy wait queue.
This might be possible when cv_destroy() is called immediately after
cv_broadcast().  We had some troubles with this previously but
there may still be a small race, see commit d599e4f.

The following patch closes one small race and improves the ASSERTs
such that they log the offending value.

95331f4437 Set KMC_NOEMERGENCY for zlib workspaces
The workspace required by zlib to perform compression is roughly
512MB (order-7).  These allocations are so large that we should
never attempt to directly kmalloc an emergency object for them.

It is far preferable to asynchronously vmalloc an additional slab
in case it's needed.  Then simply block waiting for an existing
object to be released or for the new slab to be allocated.

This can be accomplished by disabling emergency slab objects by
passing the KMC_NOEMERGENCY flag at slab creation time.

efcd0ca32d Enhance SPLAT kmem:slab_overcommit test
After the emergency slab objects were merged I started observing
timeout failures in the kmem:slab_overcommit test.  These were
due to the ineffecient way the slab_overcommit reclaim function
was implemented.  And due to the additional cost of potentially
allocating ten of thousands of emergency objects and tracking
them on a single list.

This patch addresses the first concern by enhansing the test
case to trace all of the allocations objects as a linked list.
This allows for a cleaner version of the reclaim function to
simply release SPLAT_KMEM_OBJ_RECLAIM objects.

Since this touches some common code all the tests which share
these data structions were also updated.  After making these
changes slab_overcommit is reliably passing.  However, there
is certainly additional cleanup which could be done here.

eb0f407a2b Add PF_NOFS debugging flag
PF_NOFS is a per-process debug flag which is set in current->flags to
detect when a process is performing an unsafe allocation.  All tasks
with PF_NOFS set must strictly use KM_PUSHPAGE for allocations because
if they enter direct reclaim and initiate I/O they may deadlock.

When debugging is disabled, any incorrect usage will be detected and
a call stack with a warning will be printed to the console.  The flags
will then be automatically corrected to allow for safe execution.  If
debugging is enabled this will be treated as a fatal condition.

To avoid any risk of conflicting with the existing PF_ flags.  The
PF_NOFS bit shadows the rarely used PF_MUTEX_TESTER bit.  Only when
CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER is not set, and we know this bit is unused,
will the PF_NOFS bit be valid.  Happily, most existing distributions
ship a kernel with CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER disabled.

e2dcc6e2b8 Emergency slab objects
This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with
__vmalloc() based slabs.  The issue is that the Linux kernel does
not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc().  This makes it unsafe
to use in a writeback context.  Unfortunately, this is a use case
ZFS depends on for correct operation.

Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches
are available which resolve the issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that
using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done.
Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate
the Linux VM.

While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is
something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will
likely destabilize the existing code.  This work has been planned
for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the
SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage.

This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously
in the context of a work queue.  This doesn't prevent the posibility
of the worker thread from deadlocking.  However, the caller can now
safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete.

Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the
caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,.  The objects
will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will
proceed as usual.

However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described
above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues
will timeout out.  When this rare situation occurs they will attempt
to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags.
This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the
passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress.

As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the
worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress.
This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete
and normal operation will resume.

These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require
contiguous pages.  However, their use should be rare so the impact
is expected to be minimal.  If that turns out not to be the case in
practice further optimizations are possible.

One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived.
Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when
an object is freed.  Is they accumulate on a system and the list
grows freeing objects will become more expensive.  This could be
handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that
optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch.

Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing
slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality
was implemented.  See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26
for full details.  This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory
fragmentation problems.

The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the
end.  The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency
objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows
the historical worst case.  These value should give us a good idea
of how often these objects are needed.  Based on these values under
real use cases we can tune the default behavior.

Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab
allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address
space lock.   This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for
the system.

git-archive to omit ./module/{spl,splat}/Makefile. The absence of these

because it puts Makefile in the toplevel .gitignore, which is not

module package using the 'make rpm-dkms' target.

Examples:

    # To build packaged binaries as well as a dkms packages
    $ ./configure && make rpm

    # To build only the packaged binary utilities and dkms packages
    $ ./configure && make rpm-utils rpm-dkms

744038069d Merge branch 'builtin-clean'
Support in-tree builtin module building.

These commits add support for compiling the SPL module as a built-in
kernel module by copying the module code into the kernel source tree.
Here's the procedure:

  - Create your kernel configuration (`.config` file) as usual. This
    has to be done first so that SPL's configure script is able to
    detect kernel features correctly.
  - Run `make prepare scripts` inside the kernel source tree.
  - Run `./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...`
    inside the SPL directory.
  - Run `./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...` inside the SPL directory.
  - In the kernel source tree, enable the `CONFIG_SPL` option
    (e.g. using `make menuconfig`).
  - Build the kernel as usual.

SPL module parameters can be set at boot time using the following syntax
on the kernel command line: `spl.parameter_name=parameter_value`.

a9f2397ee9 Determine the hostid on demand.
Currently, the SPL tries to determine the hostid at module load. The
hostid is usually determined by running the userland program "hostid"
during module initialization.

Unfortunately, when the module initializes, it may be way too soon to be
able to run any userland programs. This is especially true when the
module is compiled directly inside the kernel (built-in); in that case,
the SPL would try to run hostid when the kernel is still initializing,
which of course is doomed to fail.

This patch fixes the issue by deferring hostid generation until
something actually needs the hostid (that is, when zone_get_hostid() is
called), thus switching to a "on-initialization" model to a "on-demand"
(lazy loading) model. ZFS only needs the hostid when some pool
operations are requested, and this always happens way after the kernel
has finished initialization, thus solving the problem.

c167aadb27 Add script for builtin module building.
This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a
kernel source tree for building SPL as a builtin module. The script
makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source
tree fully independent of the spl source package.

To achieve that, some compilation flags (-include, -I) have been moved
to module/Makefile. This Makefile is only used when compiling external
modules; when compiling builtin modules, a Kbuild file generated by the
configure-builtin script is used instead. This makes sure Makefiles
inside the kernel source tree does not contain references to the spl
source package.

723aa3b0c2 When checking for symbol exports, try compiling.
This patch adds a new autoconf function: SPL_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL.
This new function does the following:

 - Call LINUX_TRY_COMPILE with the specified parameters.
 - If unsuccessful, return false.
 - If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin,
   return true.
 - Else, call CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT with the specified parameters and
   return the result.

All calls to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT are converted to
LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL so that the tests work even when configuring
for builtin on a kernel which doesn't have loadable module support, or
hasn't been built yet.

The only exception are:

 - AC_GET_VMALLOC_INFO, because we don't even have a public header to
include in the test case, but that's okay considering this symbol can
be ignored just fine.

- SPL_AC_DEVICE_CREATE, which is legacy API for 2.6.18 kernels.  Since
kernels this old are no longer supported it should arguably just be
removed entirely from the build system.

Note that we're also checking for the correct prototype with an actual
call, which was not the case with CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT. However, for
"complicated" test cases like with multiple symbol versions (e.g.
vfs_fsync), we stick with the original behavior and only check for the
function's existence.

df7cc5bc71 Fake modpost stage for LINUX_COMPILE.
Currently, when building a test case, we're compiling an entire Linux
module from beginning to end. This includes the MODPOST stage, which
generates a "conftest.mod.c" file with some boilerplate module
declaration code.

This poses a problem when configuring for built-in on kernels which have
loadable module support disabled. In this case conftest.mod.c is
referencing disabled code, resulting in a compilation failure, thus
breaking the tests.

This patch fixes the issue by faking the modpost stage when the
--enable-linux-builtin option is provided.  It does so by forcing the
modpost command to be /bin/true, and using an empty conftest.mod.c file.
The test module still compiles fine, although the result isn't loadable,
but we don't really care at this point.

Note it is important to preserve the modpost stage when building out of
tree.  This allows for the posibility of configure checks to leverage
this phase to identify GPL-only symbols.

94aac9c9bc Use MODULE variable in module Makefile like zfs.
In zfs, each module Makefile contains a MODULE variable which contains
the name of the module, and the following declarations reference this
variable.

In spl, there is a MODULES variable which is never used. Rename it to
MODULE and use it like in zfs. This improves consistency between the two
build systems.

d503b971f4 Optimize spl_rwsem_is_locked()
The spl_rwsem_is_locked() compatibility function has been observed
to be a hot spot.  The root cause of this is that we must check the
rwsem activity under the rwsem->wait_lock to avoid a race.  When
the lock is busy significant contention can occur.

The upstream kernel fix for this race had the insight that by using
spin_trylock_irqsave() this contention could be avoided.  When the
lock is contended it's reasonable to return that it is locked.

This change updates the SPLs implemention to be like the upstream
kernel.  Since the kernel code has been in use for years now this
a low risk change.

d801db1487 Move spl.release generation to configure step
Previously, the spl.release file was created at 'make install' time.
This is slightly problematic when the file is needed without running
'make install'. Because of this, the step creating the file was removed
from 'make install' and replaced with a more appropriate spl.release.in
file.

As a result, the spl.release file will now be created earlier as part
of the 'configure' step as opposed to the 'make install' step.

36811b4430 Detect kernels that honor gfp flags passed to vmalloc()
zfsonlinux/spl@2092cf68d8 used
PF_MEMALLOC to workaround a bug in the Linux kernel where
allocations did not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
Unfortunately, PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting
allocations to allocate pages outside of ZONE_NORMAL. This
has been observed to result in the depletion of ZONE_DMA32.

A kernel patch is available in the Gentoo bug tracker for
this issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

This negates any benefit PF_MEMALLOC provides, so we introduce
an autotools check to disable the use of PF_MEMALLOC on
systems with patched kernels.

92c2f755ee Support debug and debug-devel sub packages
This commit adds support for building debug and debug-devel sub packages
of the spl-modules main package. This is to allow building packages
which are built against a debug kernel. By default, only packages are
built against a regular non-debug kernel. This can be toggled by passing
the '--with kernel-debug' parameter to rpmbuild.

Examples:

    # To build packages against only the non-debug kernel
    $ rpmbuild --rebuild --with kernel --without kernel-debug $SRPM

    # To build packages against only the debug kernel
    $ rpmbuild --rebuild --without kernel --with kernel-debug $SRPM

    # To build packages against debug and non-debug kernel
    $ rpmbuild --rebuild --with kernel --with kernel-debug $SRPM

Note: Only the RHEL 5/6, CHAOS 5, and Fedora distributions are supported
      for building the debug and debug-devel packages.

e0093fea58 Linux 3.4 compat, __clear_close_on_exec replaces FD_CLR
torvalds/linux@1dce27c5aa introduced
__clear_close_on_exec() as a replacement for FD_CLR. Further commits
appear to have removed FD_CLR from the Linux source tree.  This
causes the following failure:

  error: implicit declaration of function '__FD_CLR'
  [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

To correct this we update the code to use the current
__clear_close_on_exec() interface for readability.  Then we introduce
an autotools check to determine if __clear_close_on_exec() is available.
If it isn't then we define some compatibility logic which used the older
FD_CLR() interface.
