When run with a root '/' cwd the mount.zfs helper would strip not
only the '/' but also the next character from the dataset name.
For example, '/tank' was changed to 'ank' instead of just 'tank'.
Originally, this was done for the '/tmp' cwd case where we needed
to strip the '/' following the cwd. For example '/tmp/tank' needed
to remove the '/tmp' cwd plus 1 character for the '/'.
This change fixes the problem by checking the cwd and if it ends in
a '/' it does not strip and extra character. Otherwise it will strip
the next character. I believe this should only ever be true for the
root directory.
Closes#148
Because we are dependent of the system mount/umount utilities to
ensure correct mtab locking, we should not suppress their error
output. During a successful mount/umount they will be silent,
but during a failure the error message they print is the only sure
way to know why a mount failed. This is because the (u)mount(8)
return code does not contain the result of the system call issued.
The only way to clearly idenify why thing failed is to rely on
the error message printed by the tool.
Longer term once libmount is available we can issue the mount/umount
system calls within the tool and still be ensured correct mtab locking.
Closed#107
Several issues related to strange mount/umount behavior were reported
and this commit should address most of them. The original idea was
to put in place a zfs mount helper (mount.zfs). This helper is used
to enforce 'legacy' mount behavior, and perform any extra mount argument
processing (selinux, zfsutil, etc). This helper wasn't ready for the
0.6.0-rc1 release but with this change it's functional but needs to
extensively tested.
This change addresses the following open issues.
Closes#101Closes#107Closes#113Closes#115Closes#119
Due to an uninitialized variable files opened with O_APPEND may
overwrite the start of the file rather than append to it. This
was introduced accidentally when I removed the Solaris vnodes.
The zfs_range_lock_writer() function used to key off zf->z_vnode
to determine if a znode_t was for a zvol of zpl object. With
the removal of vnodes this was replaced by the flag zp->z_is_zvol.
This flag was used to control the append behavior for range locks.
Unfortunately, this value was never properly initialized after
the vnode removal. However, because most of memory is usually
zeros it happened to be set correctly most of the time making
the bug appear racy. Properly initializing zp->z_is_zvol to
zero completely resolves the problem with O_APPEND.
Closes#126
Move 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk' from the stack to the heap to minimize
stack space usage. These two arrays consumed 448 bytes on the stack
and have been replaced by two 8 byte points for a total stack space
saving of 432 bytes. The zfs_setattr() path had been previously
observed to overrun the stack in certain circumstances.
The original range lock implementation had to be modified by commit
8926ab7 because it was unsafe on Linux. In particular, calling
cv_destroy() immediately after cv_broadcast() is dangerous because
the waiters may still be asleep. Thus the following cv_destroy()
will free memory which may still be in use.
This was fixed by updating cv_destroy() to block on waiters but
this in turn introduced a deadlock. The deadlock was resolved
with the use of a taskq to move the offending free outside the
range lock. This worked well but using the taskq for the free
resulted in a serious performace hit. This is somewhat ironic
because at the time I felt using the taskq might improve things
by making the free asynchronous.
This patch refines the original fix and moves the free from the
taskq to a private free list. Then items which must be free'd
are simply inserted in to the list. When the range lock is dropped
it's safe to free the items. The list is walked and all rl_t
entries are freed.
This change improves small cached read performance by 26x. This
was expected because for small reads the number of locking calls
goes up significantly. More surprisingly this change significantly
improves large cache read performance. This probably attributable
to better cpu/memory locality. Very likely the same processor
which allocated the memory is now freeing it.

In the original implementation the zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks
were dropped for simplicity. This was functional but not 100%
correct with the expected ZFS sematics. Updating and re-adding the
zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks resolves the following issues.
1) The ZFS_APPENDONLY file attribute is once again honored. While
there are still no Linux tools to set/clear these attributes once
there are it should behave correctly.
2) Minimal virus scan file attribute hooks were added. Once again
this support in disabled but the infrastructure is back in place.
3) Most importantly correctly handle assigning files which were
opened syncronously to the intent log. Without this change O_SYNC
modifications could be lost during a system crash even though they
were marked synchronous.
Filesystems like ZFS must use what the kernel calls an anonymous super
block. Basically, this is just a filesystem which is not backed by a
single block device. Normally this block device's dev_t is stored in
the super block. For anonymous super blocks a unique reserved dev_t
is assigned as part of get_sb().
This sb->s_dev must then be set in the returned stat structures as
stat->st_dev. This allows userspace utilities to easily detect the
boundries of a specific filesystem. Tools such as 'du' depend on this
for proper accounting.
Additionally, under OpenSolaris the statfs->f_fsid is set to the device
id. To preserve consistency with OpenSolaris we also set the fsid to
the device id. Other Linux filesystem (ext) set the fsid to a unique
value determined by the filesystems uuid. This value is unique but
maintains no relationship to the device id. This may be desirable
when exporting NFS filesystem because it minimizes to chance of a
client observing the same fsid from two different servers.
Closes#140
Detect early on in configure if the Modules.symvers file is missing.
Without this file there will be build failures later and it's best
to catch this early and provide a useful error. In this case the
most likely problem is the kernel-devel packages are not installed.
It may also be possible that they are using an unbuilt custom kernel
in which case they must build the kernel first.
Closes#127
Until support is added for preemptible kernels detect this at
configure time and make it fatal. Otherwise, it is possible to
have a successful build and kernel modules with flakey behavior.
The libspl and libzpool libraries were missing from the libzfs
Makefile.am. They should be explicitly listed to avoid build
issues when compiling static libraries and binaries.
Additionally, ensure libzpool is built before libzfs because
libzfs is dependent on libzpool. This was also exposed as an
issue when forcing static linking.
The AT_ versions of these macros are used on Solaris and while they
map to their Linux equivilants the code has been updated to use the
ATTR_ versions.
Move 'tmpxvattr' from the stack to the heap to minimize stack
space usage. This is enough to get us below the 1024 byte stack
frame warning. That however is still a large stack frame and it
should be further reduced by moving the 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk'
sa_bulk_attr_t variables to the heap in a future patch.
When I began work on the Posix layer it immediately became clear to
me that to integrate cleanly with the Linux VFS certain Solaris
specific things would have to go. One of these things was to elimate
as many Solaris specific types from the ZPL layer as possible. They
would be replaced with their Linux equivalents. This would not only
be good for performance, but for the general readability and health of
the code. The Solaris and Linux VFS are different beasts and should
be treated as such. Most of the code remains common for constructing
transactions and such, but there are subtle and important differenced
which need to be repsected.
This policy went quite for for certain types such as the vnode_t,
and it initially seemed to be working out well for the vattr_t. There
was a relatively small amount of related xvattr_t code I was forced to
comment out with HAVE_XVATTR. But it didn't look that hard to come
back soon and replace it all with a native Linux type.
However, after going doing this path with xvattr some distance it
clear that this code was woven in the ZPL more deeply than I thought.
In particular its hooks went very deep in to the ZPL replay code
and replacing it would not be as easy as I originally thought.
Rather than continue persuing replacing and removing this code I've
taken a step back and reevaluted things. This commit reverts many of
my previous commits which removed xvattr related code. It restores
much of the code to its original upstream state and now relies on
improved xvattr_t support in the zfs package itself.
The result of this is that much of the code which I had commented
out, which accidentally broke things like replay, is now back in
place and working. However, there may be a small performance
impact for getattr/setattr operations because they now require
a translation from native Linux to Solaris types. For now that's
a price I'm willing to pay. Once everything is completely functional
we can revisting the issue of removing the vattr_t/xvattr_t types.
Closes#111
With the removal of the minimal xvattr support from the spl this
support needs to be replaced in the zfs package. This is fairly
easily accomplished by directly adding portions of the sys/vnode.h
header from OpenSolaris. These xvattr additions have been placed
in the sys/xvattr.h header file and included as needed where simply
a sys/vnode.h was included before.
In additon to the xvattr types and helper macros two functions
were also included. The xva_init() and xva_getxoptattr() functions
were included as static inline functions in xvattr.h. They are
simple enough and it was simpler to place them here rather than
in their own .c file.
Print the supported zpool and filesystem versions at module load
time. This change removes an ambiguity and adds information that
system administrators care about. The phrase "ZFS pool version %s"
is the same as zpool upgrade -v so that the operator is familiar
with the message.

There were two cases when attempting to set the vdev block device
scheduler which would causes console warnings.
The first case was when the vdev used a loop, ram, dm, or other
such device which doesn't support a configurable scheduler. In
these cases attempting to set a scheduler is pointless and can
be safely skipped.
The secord case is slightly more troubling. We were seeing
transient cases where setting the elevator would return -EFAULT.
On retry everything is fine so there appears to be a small window
where this is possible. To handle that case we silently retry
up to three times before reporting the warning.
In all of the above cases the warning is harmless and at worse you
may see slightly different performance characteristics from one
or more of your vdevs.
This commit allows zvols with names longer than 32 characters, which
fixes issue on https://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/issues/#issue/102.
Changes include:
- use /dev/zd* device names for zvol, where * is the device minor
(include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c).
- add BLKZNAME ioctl to get dataset name from userland
(include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c, cmd/zvol_id).
- add udev rule to create /dev/zvol/[dataset_name] and the legacy
/dev/[dataset_name] symlink. For partitions on zvol, it will create
/dev/zvol/[dataset_name]-part* (etc/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules,
cmd/zvol_id).

Remove custom code to pack/unpack dev_t's. Under Linux all dev_t's
are an unsigned 32-bit value even on 64-bit platforms. The lower
20 bits are used for the minor number and the upper 12 for the major
number.
This means if your importing a pool from Solaris you may get strange
major/minor numbers. But it doesn't really matter because even if
we add compatibility code to translate the encoded Solaris major/minor
they won't do you any good under Linux. You will still need to
recreate the dev_t with a major/minor which maps to reserved major
numbers used under Linux.
Dropping this code also resolves 32-bit builds by removing the
offending 32-bit compatibility code.
ASSERT3P should be used instead of ASSERT3U when comparing
pointers. Using ASSERT3U with the cast causes a compiler
warning for 32-bit builds which is fatal with --enable-debug.
The underlying storage pool actually uses multiple block
size. Under Solaris frsize (fragment size) is reported as
the smallest block size we support, and bsize (block size)
as the filesystem's maximum block size. Unfortunately,
under Linux the fragment size and block size are often used
interchangeably. Thus we are forced to report both of them
as the filesystem's maximum block size.
Closes#112
Because the secpolicy_* macros are all currently defined to (0).
And because the caller of this function does not check the return
code. The compiler complains that this statement has no effect
which is correct and OK. To suppress the warning explictly cast
the result to (void).
Generally it's a good idea to use enums for switch statements,
but in this case it causes warning because the enum is really a
set of flags. These flags are OR'ed together in some cases
resulting in values which are not part of the original enum.
This causes compiler warning such as this about invalid cases.
error: case value ‘33’ not in enumerated type ‘zprop_source_t’
To handle this we simply case the enum to an int for the switch
statement. This leaves all other enum type checking in place
and effectively disabled these warnings.
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
For legacy reasons the zvol.c and vdev_disk.c Linux compatibility
code ended up in sys/blkdev.h and sys/vdev_disk.h headers. While
there are worse places for this code to live it should be in a
linux/blkdev_compat.h header. This change moves this block device
Linux compatibility code in to the linux/blkdev_compat.h header
and updates all the correct #include locations. This is not a
functional change or bug fix, it is just code cleanup.
Create the first 0.6.0 release candidate tag (rc1). The Posix
layer is now functional and passes fstest and several other
test suites cleanly. We now need this release candidate tag
to broaden the test coverage before we can release the official
zfs-0.6.0.
When changing the uid/gid of a file via zfs_setattr() use the
Posix id passed in iattr->ia_uid/gid. While the zfs_fuid_create()
code already had the fuid support disabled for Linux it was
returning the uid/gid from the credential. With this change
the 'chown' command which relies on setxattr is now working
properly.
Also remove a little stray white space which was in front of
zfs_update_inode() call and the end of zfs_setattr().
Under Linux sys_symlink(2) should result in a inode being created
with one reference for the inode itself, and a second reference on
the inode which is held by the new dentry. Under Solaris this
appears not to be the case. Their zfs_symlink() handler drops
the inode reference before returning.
The result of this under Linux is that the reference count for
symlinks is always one smaller than it should have been. This
results in a BUG() when the symlink is unlinked. To handle this
the Linux port now keeps the inode reference which differs from
the Solaris behavior. This results in correct reference counts.
Closes#96
The zfs_readlink() function returns a Solaris positive error value
and that needs to be converted to a Linux negative error value.
While in this case nothing would actually go wrong, it's still
incorrect and should be fixed if for no other reason than clarity.
There are three improvements here to 'zpool import' proposed by Fajar
in Github issue #98. They are all good so I'm commiting all three.
1) Add descriptions for "hpet" and "core" blacklist entries.
2) Add "core" to the blacklist, as described in the issue accessing
this device will crash Xen dom0.
3) Refine probing behavior to use fstatat64(). This allows us to
determine if a device is a block device or a regular file without
having to open it. This is the safest appraoch when probing /dev/
because the simple act of opening a device may have unexpected
consequences.
Closes#98
This patch addresses three issues related to symlinks.
1) Revert the zfs_follow_link() function to a modified version
of the original zfs_readlink(). The only changes from the
original OpenSolaris version relate to using Linux types.
For the moment this means no vnode's and no zfsvfs_t. The
caller zpl_follow_link() was also updated accordingly. This
change was reverted because it was slightly gratuitious.
2) Update zpl_follow_link() to use local variables for the
link buffer. I'd forgotten that iov.iov_base is updated by
uiomove() so after the call to zfs_readlink() it can not longer
be used. We need our own private copy of the link pointer.
3) Allocate MAXPATHLEN instead of MAXPATHLEN+1. By default
MAXPATHLEN is 4096 bytes which is a full page, adding one to
it pushes it slightly over a page. That means you'll likely
end up allocating 2 pages which is wasteful of memory and
possibly slightly slower.
This adds an API to wait for pending commit callbacks of already-synced
transactions to finish processing. This is needed by the DMU-OSD in
Lustre during device finalization when some callbacks may still not be
called, this leads to non-zero reference count errors. See lustre.org
bug 23931.
Before it is safe to unload the zfs module stack all mounted
zfs filesystems must be unmounted. If they are not unmounted,
there will be references held on the modules and the stack cannot
be removed. To handle this have 'zfs.sh -u' which is used by all
of the test scripts umount all zfs filesystem before attempting
to unload the module stack.
Until code is added to support automatically sharing datasets
we should return success instead of failure. This prevents the
command line tools from returning a non-zero error code. While
a user likely won't notice this, test scripts like zconfig.sh
do and correctly fail because of it.
While the attr/xattr hooks were already in place for regular
files this hooks can also apply to directories and special files.
While they aren't typically used in this way, it should be
supported. This patch registers these additional callbacks
for both directory and special inode types.
Under Linux when creating a fifo or socket type device in the ZFS
filesystem it's critical that the rdev is stored in a SA. This
was already being correctly done for character and block devices,
but that logic needed to be extended to include FIFOs and sockets.
This patch takes care of device creation but a follow on patch
may still be required to verify that the dev_t is being correctly
packed/unpacked from the SA.
It was noticed that when you have zvols in multiple datasets
not all of the zvol devices are created at module load time.
Fajarnugraha did the leg work to identify that the root cause of
this bug is a non-zero return value from zvol_create_minors_cb().
Returning a non-zero value from the dmu_objset_find_spa() callback
function results in aborting processing the remaining children in
a dataset. Since we want to ensure that the callback in run on
all children regardless of error simply unconditionally return
zero from the zvol_create_minors_cb(). This callback function
is solely used for this purpose so surpressing the error is safe.
Closes#96
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.
Preferentially use the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source and
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build links. Only if neither of these
links exist fallback to alternate methods for deducing which
kernel to build with. This resolves the need to manually
specify --with-linux= and --with-linux-obj= on Debian systems.
It turns out that older versions of the glibc headers do not
properly define MS_DIRSYNC despite it being explicitly mentioned
in the man pages. They instead call it S_WRITE, so for system
where this is not correct defined map MS_DIRSYNC to S_WRITE.
At the time of this commit both Ubuntu Lucid, and Debian Squeeze
both use the out of date glibc headers.
As for MS_REC this field is also not available in the older headers.
Since there is no obvious mapping in this case we simply disable
the recursive mount option which used it.
The inclusion on dlsym(), dlopen(), and dlclose() symbols require
us to link against the dl library. Be careful to add the flag to
both the libzfs library and the commands which depend on the library.
