Installing outside of the prefix is not permissible under Gentoo Prefix.
The package manager will cause the installation process to fail if/when
it sees this. We could handle this by disabling systemd support on
prefix because systemd does not check these paths, but the Gentoo
Council decided that small files such as these should be installed.
That means disabling systemd support on prefix is not an acceptable
workaround. As a consequence, we need some way of control the directory
into which these files are installed.
Making this configurable increases our compliance with the
freedesktop.org specification, which allows these files to be installed
into /etc/modules-load.d:

Platforms such as Illumos and FreeBSD have historically provided
global variables which summerize the memory state of a system.
Linux on the otherhand doesn't expose any of this information
to kernel modules and uses entirely different mechanisms for
memory management.
In order to simplify the original ZFS port to Linux these global
variables were emulated by the SPL for the benefit of ZFS. As ZoL
has matured over the years it has moved steadily away from these
interfaces and now no longer depends on them at all.
Therefore, this patch completely removes the global variables
availrmem, minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree, swapfs_minfree,
and swapfs_reserve. This greatly simplifies the memory management
code and eliminates a common area of confusion.

The get_vmalloc_info() function was used to back the vmem_size()
function. This was always problematic and resulted in brittle
code because the kernel never provided a clean interface for
modules.
However, it turns out that the only caller of this function in
ZFS uses it to determine the total virtual address space size.
This can be determined easily without get_vmalloc_info() so
vmem_size() has been updated to take this approach which allows
us to shed the get_vmalloc_info() dependency.

From day one the various ZFS libraries should have been placed in their
own sub-packages. Primarily this allows for multiple major versions of
the libraries to be concurrently installed. It also facilitates a
smaller build environment by minimizing the required dependencies.
The specific changes required to split the libraries from the utilities
are as follows:
* libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and libzfs2 packages were added
and contain the versioned shared libraries. The Fedora packaging
guidelines discourage providing static libraries so they are not
included in the packages.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries
* The zfs-devel package was renamed libzfs2-devel and the new package
obsoletes the old zfs-devel package. This package includes all
the required headers for the libzpool2, libnvpair1, libuutil1, and
libzfs2 libraries and their respective unversioned shared libraries.
This package should eventually be split in to individual lib*-devel
packages but it will still take some work to cleanly separate them.
Therefore the libzfs2-devel package provides the expected lib*-devel
packages so the all proper dependencies can still be created.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages
* Moved '/sbin/ldconfig' execution from the zfs packge to each of the
new library packages as described by the packaging guidelines.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Shared_Libraries
* The /usr/share/doc/ files were moved in to the libzfs2-devel package.
* Updated config/deb.am to be aware of the packaging changes. This
ensures that 'deb-utils' make target converts all the resulting
packages generated by the 'rpm-utils' target.

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.

zed supports a '-M' cmdline opt to lock all pages in memory via
mlockall(). The _POSIX_MEMLOCK define is checked to determine whether
this function is supported. The current test assumes mlockall()
is supported if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is non-zero. However, this test is
insufficient according to mlock(2) and sysconf(3). If _POSIX_MEMLOCK
is -1, mlockall() is not supported; but if _POSIX_MEMLOCK is 0,
availability must be checked at runtime.
This commit adds an autoconf check for mlockall() to user.m4. The zed
code block for mlockall() is now guarded with a test for HAVE_MLOCKALL.
If defined, mlockall() will be called and its runtime availability

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.

Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux. They
are 'context', 'fscontext', 'defcontext' and 'rootcontext' which map
directly to the context options described in mount(8). When one of
these properties is set to something other than 'none'. That string
will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when
the filesystem is mounted.
For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set
to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows:
$ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media
This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that
rootcontext. It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext
with the -o option like this:
$ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media
By default all four contexts are set to 'none'. Further information
on SELinux contexts is detailed in mount(8) and selinux(8) man pages.

This check was originally added for SLES10, a093c6a, to check for

This patch adds support for the new shrinker API by wrapping
the old one with the new one.
This change also reorganizes the autotools checks on the shrinker
API such that the configure script will fail early if an unknown

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.

This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems. Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set. The Posix ACL will also
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.
This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

libblkid support is dormant because the autotools check is broken and
liblkid identifies ZFS vdevs as "zfs_member", not "zfs". We fix that
with a few changes:
First, we fix the libblkid autotools check to do a few things:
1. Make a 64MB file, which is the minimum size ZFS permits.
2. Make 4 fake uberblock entries to make libblkid's check succeed.
3. Return 0 upon success to make autotools use the success case.
4. Include stdlib.h to avoid implicit declration of free().
5. Check for "zfs_member", not "zfs"
6. Make --with-blkid disable autotools check (avoids Gentoo sandbox violation)
7. Pass '-lblkid' correctly using LIBS not LDFLAGS.
Second, we change the libblkid support to scan for "zfs_member", not
"zfs".
This makes --with-blkid work on Gentoo.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PaX/GrSecurity patched kernels implement a dialect of C that relies on a
GCC plugin for enforcement. A basic idea in this dialect is that
function pointers in structures should not change during runtime.
This causes code that modifies function pointers at runtime to fail to
compile in many instances. The autotools checks rely on whether or
not small test cases compile against a given kernel. Some
autotools checks assume some default case if other cases fail. When one
of these autotools checks tests a PaX/GrSecurity patched kernel by
modifying a function pointer at runtime, the default case will be used.
Early detection of such situations is possible by relying on compiler
warnings, which are compiler errors when --enable-debug is used.
Unfortunately, very few people build ZFS with --enable-debug. The more
common situation is that these issues manifest themselves as runtime
failures in the form of NULL pointer exceptions.
Previous patches that addressed such issues with PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility largely relied on rewriting autotools checks to avoid
runtime function pointer modification or the addition of PaX/GrSecurity
specific checks. This patch takes the previous work to its logical
conclusion by eliminating the use of runtime function pointer
modification. This permits the removal of PaX-specific autotools checks
in favor of ones that work across all supported kernels.
This should resolve issues that were reported to occur with
PaX/GrSecurity-patched Linux 3.7.5 kernels on Gentoo Linux.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457176
We should be able to prevent future regressions in PaX/GrSecurity
compatibility by ensuring that all changes to ZFSOnLinux avoid runtime
function pointer modification. At the same time, this does not solve the
issue of silent failures triggering default cases in the autotools
check, which is what permitted these regressions to become runtime
failures in the first place. This will need to be addressed in a future
patch.

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.

The right thing to do is include 'linux/atomic.h' however we

Therefore, we include 'linux/fs.h' which in turn includes the
correct atomic header regardless of the kernel version.

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.

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.

Certain versions of gcc generate an 'unrecognized command
line option' error message when -Wunused-but-set-variable
is used unconditionally. This in turn can cause several
of the autoconf tests to misdetect an interface.
Now, the use of -Wunused-but-set-variable in the autoconf
tests was introduced by commit b9c59ec8 to address a gcc
4.6 compatibility problem. So we really only need to pass
this option for version of gcc which are known to support it.
Therefore, the tests have been updated to use the result of
the existing ZFS_AC_CONFIG_ALWAYS_NO_UNUSED_BUT_SET_VARIABLE
which determines if gcc supports this option.

Some kernels require that we include the 'linux/irqflags.h'
header for the SPL_AC_3ARGS_ON_EACH_CPU check. Otherwise,
the functions local_irq_enable()/local_irq_disable() will not
be defined and the prototype will be misdetected as the four
argument version.
This change actually include 'linux/interrupt.h' which in turn
includes 'linux/irqflags.h' to be as generic as possible.
Additionally, passing NULL as the function can result in a
gcc error because the on_each_cpu() macro executes it
unconditionally. To make the test more robust we pass the
dummy function on_each_cpu_func().

In the upstream kernel the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE #define was
introduced after the fallocate() function was moved from the
inode_operations to the file_operations structure. Therefore,
the SPL code assumed that if FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE was defined
it was safe to use f_ops->fallocate().
Unfortunately, the RHEL6.4 kernel has only backported the
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE #define and not the fallocate() change.
To address this compatibility issue the spl_filp_fallocate()
helper function was added to properly detect which interface
is available.

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.

Commit torvalds/linux@b8318b0 moved the __clear_close_on_exec()

making it unavailable to the SPL.
Now as it turns out we only used this function to tear down
some test infrastructure for the vn_getf()/vn_releasef() SPLAT

compatibilty code to handle this we just remove the test case.
This also allows us to drop three existing autoconf tests.

The kern_path_parent() function was removed from Linux 3.6 because
it was observed that all the callers just want the parent dentry.
The simpler kern_path_locked() function replaces kern_path_parent()
and does the lookup while holding the ->i_mutex lock.
This is good news for the vn implementation because it removes the
need for us to handle the locking. However, it makes it harder to
implement a single readable vn_remove()/vn_rename() function which
is usually what we prefer.
Therefore, we implement a new version of vn_remove()/vn_rename()
for Linux 3.6 and newer kernels. This allows us to leave the
existing working implementation untouched, and to add a simpler
version for newer kernels.
Long term I would very much like to see all of the vn code removed
since what this code enabled is generally frowned upon in the kernel.
But that can't happen util we either abondon the zpool.cache file
or implement alternate infrastructure to update is correctly in
user space.

This adds an interface to "punch holes" (deallocate space) in VFS
files. The interface is identical to the Solaris VOP_SPACE interface.
This interface is necessary for TRIM support on file vdevs.
This is implemented using Linux fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), which
was introduced in 2.6.38. For a brief time before 2.6.38 this was done
using the truncate_range inode operation, which was quickly deprecated.
This patch only supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
This adds support for the truncate_range() inode operation to
VOP_SPACE() for file hole punching. This API is deprecated and removed
in 3.5, so it's only useful for old kernels.
On tmpfs, the truncate_range() inode operation translates to
shmem_truncate_range(). Unfortunately, this function expects the end
offset to be inclusive and aligned to the end of a page. If it is not,
the kernel will stop with a BUG_ON().
This patch fixes the issue by adapting to the constraints set forth by
shmem_truncate_range().

Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and
alignment can be made efficiently.
In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests
efficiently: indeed, it is unable to free a part of a block. It will
write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).
With this patch, zvol block devices expose volblocksize as their discard

- If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin,

The only exception are:

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.

failures in the autotools checks and the ZFS source code.
To address this, we modify the autotools checks to take into account
differences between the PaX C dialect and the regular C dialect. We also
modify struct zfs_acl's z_ops member to be a pointer to a function
pointer table. Lastly, we modify zpl_put_link() to address a PaX change

device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the
BLKRRPART call.
Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion
only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still
call BLKRRPART from userspace.
This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37
and latter kernels. The build system has been updated to detect this,
but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels. This means that
online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels. However, it
will still be possible to expand the vdev offline.

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

this issue.

Add support for the .zfs control directory. This was accomplished
by leveraging as much of the existing ZFS infrastructure as posible
and updating it for Linux as required. The bulk of the core
functionality is now all there with the following limitations.
*) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37
or newer kernel. The exception is RHEL6.2 which has backported
the d_automount patches.
*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected. However,
this functionality is only available to root until zfs
delegations are finished.
* mkdir - create a snapshot
* rmdir - destroy a snapshot
* mv - rename a snapshot
The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.
*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37. This should
be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.
*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
The majority of the ground work for this is complete. However,
finishing this work will require resolving some lingering
integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server.
*) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality
has yet been implemented.

DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning.
It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from
a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.
We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.
Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

Issue #334
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.
Detailed rationale:
- max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
upper layer decide.
- max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.
- physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
slow.
- The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:
WRITE: A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
WRITE_SYNC: Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
shortly.
WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
WRITE_FUA: Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
non-volatile media on completion.
In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.
The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.
Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s. This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart. The result of this
is the following behavior.
--enable-debug - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
are never required for correct operation.
They are disabled by default because they
may impact performance.
--enable-debug-log - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log This infrastructure allows the spl code and
its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
log. The granularity of the logging can be
controlled by a debug mask. By default the
mask disables most debug messages resulting
in a negligible performance impact. Because
of this the debug log is enabled by default.

The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.
The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.
This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.
In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:
* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.
arc_add_prune_callback()
arc_remove_prune_callback()
* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.
* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.
* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.
* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.
* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

a limiting factor for performance. Since pdflush sequentially walks
the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can
slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems.
The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info). The
bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each
with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback. The advantage
is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single
filesystem from slowing writeback to the others.
For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't
strictly required to implement the bdi scheme. However, as of
Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired.
Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only
an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache.
Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked
because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback.
However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi
functionality can cause problems. If an application handles a page
fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath. This will
result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in
the system drops below the dirty ratio.
Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the
dirty pages will not get written out. Thus the application will hang.
As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because
pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages.
This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t
which is already allocated per-super block. It is then registered
when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount. It will
not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only. This
change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created
and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback.

The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback
in the file_system_type structure. When using the new
interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper.
Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount
down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing
implementation because we currently save this pointer in the
super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point
in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.
This needed to be done originally to allow commands like
'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me
to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under
Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a
file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However,
under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace
which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.
Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and
continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update
the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux.
This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue
for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which
have been reported.
This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back
reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount
options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'.
This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace
to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing
them on to the file system itself.
Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the
vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This
change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

The inode eviction should unmap the pages associated with the inode.
These pages should also be flushed to disk to avoid the data loss.
Therefore, use truncate_setsize() in evict_inode() to release the

Prior to Linux 2.6.39 when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES was defined
the kernel stored a thread_info pointer as the mutex owner.
From this you could get the pointer of the current task_struct
to compare with get_current().
As of Linux 2.6.39 this behavior has changed and now the mutex
stores a pointer to the task_struct. This commit detects the
type of pointer stored in the mutex and adjusts the mutex_owner()
and mutex_owned() functions to perform the correct comparision.
Update the the wrapper macros for the memory shrinker to handle
this 4th API change. The callback function now takes a

The previous commit 8a7e1ceefa wasn't
quite right. This check applies to both the user and kernel space
build and as such we must make sure it runs regardless of what
the --with-config option is set too.
For example, if --with-config=kernel then the autoconf test does
not run and we generate build warnings when compiling the kernel
packages.
Gcc versions 4.3.2 and earlier do not support the compiler flag
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable. This can lead to build failures
on older Linux platforms such as Debian Lenny. Since this is
an optional build argument this changes add a new autoconf check
for the option. If it is supported by the installed version of
gcc then it is used otherwise it is omited.
See commit's 12c1acde76 and
79713039a2 for the reason the
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable options was originally added.
Every distribution has slightly different requirements for their
init scripts. Because of this the zfs package contains several
init scripts for various distributions. These scripts have been
contributed by, and are supported by, the larger zfs community.

This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing
a dataset which was not open. The objset_t stored in the
zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed.
To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg.
The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel
when the block device capacity changes. For 2.6.28 and newer
kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected. For
earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the
device is next opened. This is a known limitation of older
kernels.
Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023

The function zlib_deflate_workspacesize() now take 2 arguments.
This was done to avoid always having to allocate the maximum size
workspace (268K). The caller can now specific the windowBits and
memLevel compression parameters to get a smaller workspace.
For our purposes we introduce a spl_zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
wrapper which accepts both arguments. When the two argument
version of zlib_deflate_workspacesize() is available the arguments
are passed through. When it's not we assume the worst case and
a maximally sized workspace is used.
The path_lookup() function has been renamed to kern_path_parent()
and the flags argument has been removed. The only behavior now
offered is that of LOOKUP_PARENT. The spl already always passed
this flag so dropping the flag does not impact us.
As of gcc-4.6 the option -Wunused-but-set-variable is enabled by
default. While this is a useful warning there are numerous places
in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an
ASSERT(). To avoid having to update every instance of this in the
code we now set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable to suppress the warning.
Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these
warning also become fatal. We can reevaluate the suppression of these
error at a later time if it becomes an issue. For now we are basically
just reverting to the previous gcc behavior.
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests. It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables. Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default. This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.
To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available. Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.

To resolve a potiential filesystem corruption issue a second

whether dirty inodes are dropped or treated as busy when invalidating
a super block. When only the legacy API is available the second
argument will be dropped for compatibility.
Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune
cached entries from the dcache and icache. After the entries are
pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped.
Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy
access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the
reclaim count. However, in practice this doesn't need to be
exactly correct. We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction
(but not all) of the cache. The caller can determine if more
needs to be done.
Added insert_inode_locked() helper function, prior to this most callers
used insert_inode_hash(). The older method doesn't check for collisions
in the inode_hashtable but it still acceptible for use. Fallback to
using insert_inode_hash() when insert_inode_locked() is unavailable.
To simplify the process of using zfs as your root filesystem a
zfs-drucat sub-package has been added. This sub-package adds a zfs
dracut module which allows your initramfs to be rebuilt with zfs
support. The process for doing this is still complicated but there
is clearly interest from the community about getting this working
well and documented. This should help lay some of the groundwork.
Longer term these changes should be pushed in the upstream dracut
package. Once that occurs this subpackage will no longer be
required for new systems, however we may want to conditionally
build this package in the future for systems running older
dracut versions.

To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed. Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things. Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway. I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.
The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.
Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script. Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.
This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.
Detect early on in configure if the Modules.symvers file is missing.

In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules. This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.
Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address. The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn. Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address. All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.
Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.
The open_bdev_exclusive() function has been replaced (again) by the
more generic blkdev_get_by_path() function. Additionally, the
counterpart function close_bdev_exclusive() has been replaced by
blkdev_put(). Because these functions are more generic versions
of the functions they replaced the compatibility macro must add
the FMODE_EXCL mask to ensure they are exclusive.
Closes#114
The new prefered inteface for evicting an inode from the inode cache
is the ->evict_inode() callback. It replaces both the ->delete_inode()
and ->clear_inode() callbacks which were previously used for this.
The xattr handler prototypes were sanitized with the idea being that
the same handlers could be used for multiple methods. The result of
this was the inode type was changes to a dentry, and both the get()
and set() hooks had a handler_flags argument added. The list()
callback was similiarly effected but no autoconf check was added
because we do not use the list() callback.
The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take
3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the
dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To
handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right
prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument
either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.

ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be
available. The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the
library to access the needed symbols. If this fails libshare
support is simply disabled.
This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare
implementation. In fact just enough to prevent the build from
failing. Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a
libshare library like Solaris. At best this would be an abstraction
layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB. Alternately, we can drop libshare
entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB.
Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped. If we
do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be
as part of this package so the check is not needed.
If libselinux is detected on your system at configure time link
against it. This allows us to use a library call to detect if
selinux is enabled and if it is to pass the mount option:
"context=\"system_u:object_r:file_t:s0"
For now this is required because none of the existing selinux
policies are aware of the zfs filesystem type. Because of this
they do not properly enable xattr based labeling even though
zfs supports all of the required hooks.
Until distro's add zfs as a known xattr friendly fs type we
must use mntpoint labeling. Alternately, end users could modify
their existing selinux policy with a little guidance.

The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*
and REQ_* flags. The new flag is called REQ_SYNC. To simplify
checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function. Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.
Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio:
2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO
2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC
As of linux-2.6.36 the BIO_RW_FAILFAST and REQ_FAILFAST flags
have been unified under the REQ_* names. These flags always had
to be kept in-sync so this is a nice step forward, unfortunately
it means we need to be careful to only use the new unified flags
when the BIO_RW_* flags are not defined. Additional autoconf
checks were added for this and if it is ever unclear which method
to use no flags are set. This is safe but may result in longer
delays before a disk is failed.
Perferred interface for setting FAILFAST on a bio:
2.6.12-2.6.27: BIO_RW_FAILFAST
2.6.28-2.6.35: BIO_RW_FAILFAST_{DEV|TRANSPORT|DRIVER}
2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_FAILFAST_{DEV|TRANSPORT|DRIVER}
In the linux-2.6.36 kernel the fs_struct lock was changed from a
rwlock_t to a spinlock_t. If the kernel would export the set_fs_pwd()
symbol by default this would not have caused us any issues, but they
don't. So we're forced to add a new autoconf check which sets the
HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used. We can
then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom
set_fs_pwd() implementation.
As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument. The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it. This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.
To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API. Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments. For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.
