9c91800d19 Remove CTL_UNNUMBERED sysctl interface
Support for the CTL_UNNUMBERED sysctl interface was removed in
Linux 2.6.19.  There is no longer any reason to maintain this
compatibility code.  There also issue any reason to keep around
the CTL_NAME macro and helpers so they have been retired.

aa363c5c05 Remove sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure assumption
The generic SPL cache shrinkers make the assumption that the
caches only contain VFS cache data and therefore should be scaled
based on vfs_cache_pressure.  This is not strictly true and it
should not be assumed.

Removing this tuning should not have any impact on the stock
behavior because vfs_cache_pressure=100 by default.  This means
that no scaling will take place.

e3020723dc Linux 3.16 compat: smp_mb__after_clear_bit()
The smp_mb__{before,after}_clear_bit functions have been renamed
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic.  Rather than adding a compatibility
function to handle this the code has been updated to use smp_wmb().

This has the advantage of being a stable functionally equivalent
interface.  On many architectures smp_mb__after_clear_bit() expands
to smp_wmb().  Others might be able to do something slightly more
efficient but this will be safe and correct on all of them.

ec18fe3ce8 Cleanup vn_rename() and vn_remove()
zfsonlinux/spl#bcb15891ab394e11615eee08bba1fd85ac32e158 implemented
Linux 3.6+ support by adding duplicate vn_rename and vn_remove
functions. The new ones were cleaner, but the duplicate functions made
the codebase less maintainable. This adds some compatibility shims that
allow us to retire the older vn_rename and vn_remove in favor of the new
ones on old kernels. The result is a net 143 line reduction in lines of
code and a cleaner codebase.

2fc44f66ec Linux 3.17 compat: remove wait_on_bit action function
Linux kernel 3.17 removes the action function argument from
wait_on_bit().  Add autoconf test and compatibility macro to support
the new interface.

The former "wait_on_bit" interface required an 'action' function to
be provided which does the actual waiting. There were over 20 such
functions in the kernel, many of them identical, though most cases
can be satisfied by one of just two functions: one which uses
io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().  This API change
was made to consolidate all of those redundant wait functions.

For small objects the Linux slab allocator should be used to make the most
efficient use of the memory.  However, large objects are not supported by

f6a869614e Safer debugging and assertion macros.
Spl's debugging and assertion macros macro used the typical do/while(0)
form for if/else friendliness, however, this limits their use in contexts
where a do loop is not valid; such as within another multi-statement
style macro.

The following macros have been converted to not use do/while(0):
	PANIC, ASSERT, ASSERTF, VERIFY, VERIFY3_IMPL

PANIC has been converted to a wrapper around the new spl_PANIC() function.

The other macros have been converted to use the "&&" operator for the
branch-predicition conditional and also to use spl_PANIC().

The __ASSERT() macro was not touched.  It is only used by the debugging
infrastructure and that code, including this macro, will be retired when
the tracepoint patches are merged.

376dc35e22 Add spl_kmem_cache_reclaim module option
The correct behavior for all registered shrinkers is to return the
number of objects in their cache.  In theory this allows the Linux
VM to balance memory reclaim across all registered caches.

In commit b9b3715 this behavior was disabled in favor of returning
-1 which notifies the VM that no additional objects are available
for reclaim.  This was done as a workaround to resolve thrashing
in shrink_slabs() which could occur when memory was low and numerous
core where in reclaim.  Unfortunately, this has been observed to
increase the likelihood of OOM events when SPL slab consumers are
responsible for consuming the majority of memory.

Therefore, this patch makes this behavior tunable.  Setting the
spl_kmem_cache_reclaim module option to 0x1 will result in the
shrinker only being called once.  This is the default behavior.

a073aeb060 Add KMC_SLAB cache type
For small objects the Linux slab allocator has several advantages
over its counterpart in the SPL.  These include:

1) It is more memory-efficient and packs objects more tightly.
2) It is continually tuned to maximize performance.

Therefore it makes sense to layer the SPLs slab allocator on top
of the Linux slab allocator.  This allows us to leverage the
advantages above while preserving the Illumos semantics we depend
on.  However, there are some things we need to be careful of:

1) The Linux slab allocator was never designed to work well with
   large objects.  Because the SPL slab must still handle this use
   case a cut off limit was added to transition from Linux slab
   backed objects to kmem or vmem backed slabs.

   spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
   size in bytes will be backed by the Linux slab.  By default
   this value is zero which disables the Linux slab functionality.
   Reasonable values for this cut off limit are in the range of
   4096-16386 bytes.

   spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
   size in bytes will be backed by a kmem slab.  Objects over this
   size will be vmem backed instead.  This value defaults to
   1/8 a page, or 512 bytes on an x86_64 architecture.

2) Be aware that using the Linux slab may inadvertently introduce
   new deadlocks.  Care has been taken previously to ensure that
   all allocations which occur in the write path use GFP_NOIO.
   However, there may be internal allocations performed in the
   Linux slab which do not honor these flags.  If this is the case
   a deadlock may occur.

The path forward is definitely to start relying on the Linux slab.
But for that to happen we need to start building confidence that
there aren't any unexpected surprises lurking for us.  And ideally
need to move completely away from using the SPLs slab for large
memory allocations.  This patch is a first step.

NOTES:
1) The KMC_NOMAGAZINE flag was leveraged to support the Linux slab
   backed caches but it is not supported for kmem/vmem backed caches.

2) Regardless of the spl_kmem_cache_*_limit settings a cache may
   be explicitly set to a given type by passed the KMC_KMEM,
   KMC_VMEM, or KMC_SLAB flags during cache creation.

3) The constructors, destructors, and reclaim callbacks are all
   functional and will be called regardless of the cache type.

4) KMC_SLAB caches will not appear in /proc/spl/kmem/slab due to
   the issues involved in presenting correct object accounting.
   Instead they will appear in /proc/slabinfo under the same names.

5) Several kmem SPLAT tests needed to be fixed because they relied
   incorrectly on internal kmem slab accounting.  With the updated
   test cases all the SPLAT tests pass as expected.

6) An autoconf test was added to ensure that the __GFP_COMP flag
   was correctly added to the default flags used when allocating
   a slab.  This is required to ensure all pages in higher order
   slabs are properly refcounted, see ae16ed9.

7) When using the SLUB allocator there is no need to attempt to
   set the __GFP_COMP flag.  This has been the default behavior
   for the SLUB since Linux 2.6.25.

8) When using the SLUB it may be desirable to set the slub_nomerge
   kernel parameter to prevent caches from being merged.

ae16ed992b Fix crash when using ZFS on Ceph rbd
When using __get_free_pages to get high order memory, only the first page's
_count will set to 1, other's will be 0. When an internal page get passed into
rbd, it will eventully go into tcp_sendpage. There, it will be called with
get_page and put_page, and get freed erroneously when _count jump back to 0.

The solution to this problem is to use compound page. All pages in a
high order compound page share a single _count. So get_page and put_page in
tcp_sendpage will not cause _count jump to 0.

bdfbe594a1 Expose max/min objs per slab and max slab size
By default maximal number of objects in slab can't exceed (16*2 - 1) and slab
size can't exceed 32M.
Today's high end servers having couple hundreds of RAM available for ARC may
run into a trouble with virtual memory because of the restriction mentioned
above.

Problem:
Reasons for very high number of virtual memory allocations:
	* Real slab size very small relative to the size of the entire RAM
	* Slabs allocated on virtual memory and fill entire ARC

The result is very high number of allocated virtual memory ranges (hundreds of
ranges). When virtual memory subsystem manages high number of ranges its
performance become so poor that it freezes from time to time.

Solution:
Number of objects per slab should be increased taking into account maximal
slab size which can also be increased if needed.

acf0ade362 Simplify hostid logic
There is plenty of compatibility code for a hw_hostid

issues with the current hostid logic. coredumb in #zfsonlinux on

required force importing his pool. A suggestion by wca was to adopt
FreeBSD's behavior, where it treats hostid as zero if /etc/hostid does
not exist

Adopting FreeBSD's behavior permits us to eliminate plenty of code,
including a userland helper that invokes the system's hostid as a
fallback.

184c687387 Emulate illumos interface cv_timedwait_hires()
Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity.  This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting.  usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.

Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires().  Specifically,

CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
    Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
    an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
    interpreted as the expiration time itself.

CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
    Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
    flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

ffbf0e57c2 Kstat to use private lock by default
While porting Illumos #3537 I found that ks_lock member of kstat_t
structure is different between Illumos and SPL. It is a pointer to
the kmutex_t in Illumos, but the mutex lock itself in SPL.
Apparently Illumos kstat API allows consumer to override the lock
if required. With SPL implementation it is not possible anymore.

Things were alright until the first attempt to actually override
the lock. Porting of Illumos #3537 introduced such code for the
first time.

In order to provide the Solaris/Illumos like functionality we:
  1. convert ks_lock to "kmutex_t *ks_lock"
  2. create a new field "kmutex_t ks_private_lock"
  3. On kstat_create() ks_lock = &ks_private_lock

Thus if consumer doesn't care we still have our internal lock in use.
If, however, consumer does care she has a chance to set ks_lock to
anything else before calling kstat_install().

The rest of the code will use ks_lock regardless of its origin.

The callbacks allow the user to implement functions for interpreting

containing a string representation of the raw data, is then be displayed
through the current /proc textual interface.

Additionally the kstats are made writable because it's now possible

429fe89cee Consistently use local_irq_disable/local_irq_enable
It was observed that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() uses local_irq_save()
and saves the interrupt state in a local variable.  This would
normally be fine except that spl_kmem_cache_alloc() calls
spl_cache_refill() which re-enables interrupts.  It is then
possible that while interrupts are enabled the process is
rescheduled to a different cpu before being disable again.
This could result in us restoring the saved interrupt state
from one cpu to another.

What the consequences of this are aren't perfectly clear, but
this is clearly a bug and it has the potential to cause issues.
The code has been updated to just use local_irq_enable() and
local_irq_disable() to avoid this.

df2c0f1849 Replace current_kernel_time() with getnstimeofday()
current_kernel_time() is used by the SPLAT, but it is not meant for
performance measurement. We modify the SPLAT to use getnstimeofday(),
which is equivalent to the gethrestime() function on Solaris.
Additionally, we update gethrestime() to invoke getnstimeofday().

f7fd6ddd96 Linux 3.8 compat: Use kuid_t/kgid_t when required
When CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is enabled uid_t/git_t are
replaced by kuid_t/kgid_t, which are structures instead of integral
types. This causes any code that uses an integral type to fail to build.
The User Namespace functionality introduced in Linux 3.8 requires
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS, so we could not build against any
kernel that supported it.

We resolve this by converting between the new kuid_t/kgid_t structures
and the original uid_t/gid_t types.

e3c4d44886 PaX/GrSecurity Linux 3.8.y compat: Use __no_const on struct ctl_table
The PaX team started constifying `struct ctl_table` as of their Linux
3.8.0 patchset. This lead to zfsonlinux/spl#225 and Gentoo bug #463012.

While investigating our options, I learned that there is a preprocessor
directive called CONSTIFY_PLUGIN that we can use to detect the presence
of the PaX changes and adjust the code accordingly.

The PaX Team had suggested adopting ctl_table_no_const, but supporting
older kernels required declaring that whenever the CONSTIFY_PLUGIN was
set. Future compiler changes could potentially cause that to break in
the presence of -Werror, so instead we define our own spl_ctl_table
typdef and use that. This should be compatible with all PaX kernels.

This introduces a Linux kernel version number check to prevent a build
failure on versions of the PaX GCC plugin that existed for kernels
before Linux 3.8.0. Affected versions of the PaX plugin will trigger a
compiler error when they see no_const cast on a non-constified
structure.  Ordinarily, we would need an autotools check to catch that.
However, it is safe to do a kernel version check instead of an autotools
check in this specific instance because the affected versions of the PaX
GCC plugin only exist for Linux kernels before 3.8.0 and the
constification of `struct ctl_table` by the PaX developers only occurs
in Linux 3.8.0 and later.

251e7a779b Fix race in spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()
The current code contains a race condition that triggers when bit 2 in
spl.spl_kmem_cache_expire is set, spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() is invoked
and another thread is concurrently accessing its magazine.

spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() currently invokes spl_cache_flush() on each
magazine in the same thread when bit 2 in spl.spl_kmem_cache_expire is
set. This is unsafe because there is one magazine per CPU and the
magazines are lockless, so it is impossible to guarentee that another
CPU is not using its magazine when this function is called.

The solution is to only touch the local CPU's magazine and leave other
CPU's magazines to other CPUs.

ba06298072 Linux 3.11 compat: Replace num_physpages with totalram_pages
num_physpages was removed by
torvalds/linux@cfa11e08ed, so lets replace
it with totalram_pages.

This is a bug fix as much as it is a compatibility fix because
num_physpages did not reflect the number of pages actually available to
the kernel:

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0908.2/01001.html

Also, there are known issues with memory calculations when ZFS is in a
Xen dom0. There is a chance that using totalram_pages could resolve
them. This conjecture is untested at the time of writing.

ceb3872825 Fix KMC_OFFSLAB type caches
Because spl_slab_size() was always returning -ENOSPC for caches of
type KMC_OFFSLAB the cache could never be created.  Additionally
the slab size is rounded up to a page which is what kv_alloc()
expects.  The kv_alloc() code will minimally allocate a page,
in the KMC_OFFSLAB case this could be reduced.

The basic regression tests kmem:slab_small, kmem:slab_large,
and kmem:slab_align regression were updated to test KMC_OFFSLAB.

ab4e74cc38 Fix bogus kmem leak warning
Commit 5c7a036 correctly relocated the creation of a taskq
and the registraction of the kmem_cache_shrinker after the
initialization of the kmem tracking code.  However, the
cleanup of these structures was not done before the leak
checks in spl_kmem_fini().  This resulted in an incorrect
'kmem leaked' warning even though there was no actual leak.

b1424adda5 Fix --enable-debug-kmem-tracking option
This code has gotten something stale and no longer builds cleanly
against modern kernels.  The two issues addressed here are as
follows:

* The hlist_*_rcu interfaces in the kernel have been relatively
  unstable.  Since this isn't performance critical code just use
  the long standing hlist_* variants.

* In older kernels the hash_ptr() function takes a 'void *' but
  in newer kernels it expects a 'const void *'.  To silence the
  compiler warnings about this explicitly cast it to a 'void *'.
  The memset function is a similar case but it always expects
  a 'void *'.

f2a745c41d Linux 3.10 compat: Do not rely on struct proc_dir_entry definition
Linux kernel commit torvalds/linux#59d8053f moved the definition of
struct proc_dir_entry from include/linux/proc_fs.h to the private
header fs/proc/internal.h. The SPL relied on that to map Solaris'
kstat to entries in /proc/spl/kstat.

Since the proc_dir_entry structure is now private the only safe
thing to do is wrap the opaque proc handle with our own structure.
This actually ends up simplify the code and is good because it
moves us away from depending on implementation details of /proc.

5c7a0369e2 Fix --enable-debug-kmem-tracking option
Re-order initialization in spl_kmem_init to allow for kmem tracing
to work.  The spl_kmem_init function calls taskq_create prior to
initializing the tracking (calling spl_kmem_init_tracking).  Since
taskq_create uses kmem_alloc, NULL dereferences occur because the
global kmem_list hasn't had its next & prev pointers initialized yet.

This commit moves the calls to spl_kmem_init_tracking earlier in the
spl_kmem_init function in order that the subsequent kmem_alloc calls
(by taskq_create) work properly.

99c452bbba Fix taskq_wait_id()
The existing taskq_wait_id() function can incorrectly block
indefinitely.  Reimplement it more simply using wait_event()
in a similar fashion to taskq_wait_all().

This flaw was uncovered in the context of moving vn_rdwr() to

the SPLAT task framework which is why the issue went unnoticed.
