This flag does not need to be support under Linux. As the comment
says it was only there to support fsflush() for old filesystem like
UFS. This is not needed under Linux.
Mount option parsing is still very Linux specific and will be
handled above this zfs filesystem layer. Honoring those mount
options once set if of course the responsibility of the lower
layers.
This variable was used to ensure that the ZFS module is never
removed while the filesystem is mounted. Once again the generic
Linux VFS handles this case for us so it can be removed.
The functions zfs_mount_label_policy(), zfs_mountroot(), zfs_mount()
will not be needed because most of what they do is already handled
by the generic Linux VFS layer. They all call zfs_domount() which
creates the actual dataset, the caller of this library call which
will be in the zpl layer is responsible for what's left.
Under Linux we don't need to reserve a major or minor number for
the filesystem. We can rely on the VFS to handle colisions without
this being handled by the lower ZFS layers.
Additionally, there is no need to keep a zfsfstype around. We are
not limited on Linux by the OpenSolaris infrastructure which needed
this. The upper zpl layer can specify the filesystem type.
The ZFS code is being restructured to act as a library and a stand
alone module. This allows us to leverage most of the existing code
with minimal modification. It also means we need to drop the Solaris
vfs/vnode functions they will be replaced by Linux equivilants and
updated to be Linux friendly.
For the moment we have left ZFS unchanged and it updates many values
as part of the znode. However, some of these values should be set
in the inode. For the moment this is handled by adding a function
called zfs_inode_update() which updates the inode based on the znode.
This is considered a workaround until we can systematically go
through the ZFS code and have it directly update the inode. At
which point zfs_update_inode() can be dropped entirely. Keeping
two copies of the same data isn't only inefficient it's a breeding
ground for bugs.
Under Linux the convention for filesystem specific data structure is
to embed it along with the generic vfs data structure. This differs
significantly from Solaris.
Since we want to integrates as cleanly with the Linux VFS as possible.
This changes modifies zfs_znode_alloc() to allocate a znode with an
embedded inode for use with the generic VFS. This is done by calling
iget_locked() which will allocate a new inode if needed by calling
sb->alloc_inode(). This function allocates enough memory for a
znode_t by returns a pointer to the inode structure for Linux's VFS.
This function is also responsible for setting the callback
znode->z_set_ops_inodes() which is used to register the correct
handlers for the inode.
Basic compilation of the bulk of zfs_znode.c has been enabled. After
much consideration it was decided to convert the existing vnode based
interfaces to more friendly Linux interfaces. The following commits
will systematically replace update the requiter interfaces. There
are of course pros and cons to this decision.
Pros:
* This simplifies intergration with Linux in the long term. There is
no longer any need to manage vnodes which are a foreign concept to
the Linux VFS.
* Improved long term maintainability.
* Minor performance improvements by removing vnode overhead.
Cons:
* Added work in the short term to modify multiple ZFS interfaces.
* Harder to pull in changes if we ever see any new code from Solaris.
* Mixed Solaris and Linux interfaces in some ZFS code.
This code originates in OpenSolaris and was modified by KQ Infotech
to be compatible with Linux. While supporting uios in the short
term is useful to get something working this is not an abstraction
we want to keep. This code is expected to be short lived and
removed as soon as all the remaining uio based APIs and updated.
The zfs acl code makes use of the two OpenSolaris helper functions
acl_trivial_access_masks() and ace_trivial_common(). Since they are
only called from zfs_acl.c I've brought them over from OpenSolaris
and added them as static function to this file. This way I don't
need to reimplement this functionality from scratch in the SPL.
Long term once I take a more careful look at the acl implementation
it may be the case that these functions really aren't needed. If
that turns out to be the case they can then be removed.
Remove unneeded bootfs functions. This support shouldn't be required
for the Linux port, and even if it is it would need to be reworked
to integrate cleanly with Linux.
Certain NFS/SMB share functionality is not yet in place. These
functions used to be wrapped with the generic HAVE_ZPL to prevent
them from being compiled. I still don't want them compiled but
I'm working toward eliminating the use of HAVE_ZPL. So I'm just
renaming the wrapper here to HAVE_SHARE. They still won't be
compiled until all the share issues are worked through. Share
support is the last missing piece from zfs_ioctl.c.
The zfs_check_global_label() function is part of the HAVE_MLSLABEL
support which was previously commented out by a HAVE_ZPL check.
Since we're still deciding what to do about mls labels wrap it
with the preexisting macro to keep it compiled out.
Unlike Solaris the Linux implementation embeds the inode in the
znode, and has no use for a vnode. So while it's true that fragmention
of the znode cache may occur it should not be worse than any of the
other Linux FS inode caches. Until proven that this is a problem it's
just added complexity we don't need.
These functions were dropped originally because I felt they would
need to be rewritten anyway to avoid using uios. However, this
patch readds then with they dea they can just be reworked and
the uio bits dropped.
During a rename we need to be careful to destroy and create a
new minor for the ZVOL _only_ if the rename succeeded. The previous
code would both destroy you minor device unconditionally, it would
also fail to create the new minor device on success.
These compiler warnings were introduced when code which was
previously #ifdef'ed out by HAVE_ZPL was re-added for use
by the posix layer. All of the following changes should be
obviously correct and will cause no semantic changes.
The issue is that cv_timedwait() sleeps uninterruptibly to block signals
and avoid waking up early. Under Linux this counts against the load
average keeping it artificially high. This change allows the arc to
sleep interruptibly which mean it may be woken up early due to a signal.
Normally this means some extra care must be taken to handle a potential
signal. But for the arcs usage of cv_timedwait() there is no harm in
waking up before the timeout expires so no extra handling is required.
This commit fixes a sign extension bug affecting l2arc devices. Extremely
large offsets may be passed down to the low level block device driver on
reads, generating errors similar to
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdbi1: rw=14, want=36028797014862705, limit=125026959
The unwanted sign extension occurrs because the function arc_read_nolock()
stores the offset as a daddr_t, a 32-bit signed int type in the Linux kernel.
This offset is then passed to zio_read_phys() as a uint64_t argument, causing
sign extension for values of 0x80000000 or greater. To avoid this, we store
the offset in a uint64_t.
This change also changes a few daddr_t struct members to uint64_t in the libspl
headers to avoid similar bugs cropping up in the future. We also add an ASSERT
to __vdev_disk_physio() to check for invalid offsets.

As of linux-2.6.36 the last in-tree consumer of fops->ioctl() has
been removed and thus fops()->ioctl() has also been removed. The
replacement hook is fops->unlocked_ioctl() which has existed in
kernel since 2.6.12. Since the ZFS code only contains support
back to 2.6.18 vintage kernels, I'm not adding an autoconf check
for this and simply moving everything to use fops->unlocked_ioctl().
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
Commit 3ee56c292b changed an ENOTSUP return value
in one location to ENOTSUPP to fix user programs seeing an invalid ioctl()
error code. However, use of ENOTSUP is widespread in the zfs module. Instead
of changing all of those uses, we fixed the ENOTSUP definition in the SPL to be
consistent with user space. The changed return value in the above commit is
therefore no longer needed, so this commit reverses it to maintain consistency.

Support for rolling back datasets require a functional ZPL, which we currently
do not have. The zfs command does not check for ZPL support before attempting
a rollback, and in preparation for rolling back a zvol it removes the minor
node of the device. To prevent the zvol device node from disappearing after a
failed rollback operation, this change wraps the zfs_do_rollback() function in
an #ifdef HAVE_ZPL and returns ENOSYS in the absence of a ZPL. This is
consistent with the behavior of other ZPL dependent commands such as mount.
The orginal error message observed with this bug was rather confusing:
internal error: Unknown error 524
Aborted
This was because zfs_ioc_rollback() returns ENOTSUP if we don't HAVE_ZPL, but
Linux actually has no such error code. It should instead return EOPNOTSUPP, as
that is how ENOTSUP is defined in user space. With that we would have gotten
the somewhat more helpful message
cannot rollback 'tank/fish': unsupported version
This is rather a moot point with the above changes since we will no longer make
that ioctl call without a ZPL. But, this change updates the error code just in
case.

Increasing the default zio_wr_int thread count from 8 to 16 improves
write performence by 13% on large systems. More testing need to be
done but I suspect the ideal tuning here is ZTI_BATCH() with a minimum
of 8 threads.
Linux kernel thread names are expected to be short. This change shortens
the zio thread names to 10 characters leaving a few chracters to append
the /<cpuid> to which the thread is bound. For example: z_wr_iss/0.
On some older kernels, i.e. 2.6.18, zvol_ioctl_by_inode() may get passed a NULL
file pointer if the user tries to mount a zvol without a filesystem on it.
This change adds checks to prevent a null pointer dereference.

It turns out that 'zpool events' over 1024 bytes in size where being
silently dropped. This was discovered while writing the zfault.sh
tests to validate common failure modes.
This could occur because the zfs interface for passing an arbitrary
size nvlist_t over an ioctl() is to provide a buffer for the packed
nvlist which is usually big enough. In this case 1024 byte is the
default. If the kernel determines the buffer is to small it returns
ENOMEM and the minimum required size of the nvlist_t. This was
working properly but in the case of 'zpool events' the event stream
was advanced dispite the error. Thus the retry with the bigger
buffer would succeed but it would skip over the previous event.
The fix is to pass this size to zfs_zevent_next() and determine
before removing the event from the list if it will fit. This was
preferable to checking after the event was returned because this
avoids the need to rewind the stream.
While there is no right maximum timeout for a disk IO we can start
laying the ground work to measure how long they do take in practice.
This change simply measures the IO time and if it exceeds 30s an
event is posted for 'zpool events'.
This value was carefully selected because for sd devices it implies
that at least one timeout (SD_TIMEOUT) has occured. Unfortunately,
even with FAILFAST set we may retry and request and not get an
error. This behavior is strongly dependant on the device driver
and how it is hooked in to the scsi error handling stack. However
by setting the limit at 30s we can log the event even if no error
was returned.
Slightly longer term we can start recording these delays perhaps
as a simple power-of-two histrogram. This histogram can then be
reported as part of the 'zpool status' command when given an command
line option.
None of this code changes the internal behavior of ZFS. Currently
it is simply for reporting excessively long delays.
ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device
failure occurs. This allows it to immediately start any recovery
actions which may be needed. In theory Linux supports a flag which
can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick
notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers.
That's the theory at least. In practice is turns out that while the
flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag.
And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level
drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the
right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer.
Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much
which can be done to improve this. Basically, this just means that
it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a
device has failed. This can be improved and I suspect I'll be
submitting patches upstream to handle this.
By default the Solaris code does not log speculative or soft io errors
in either 'zpool status' or post an event. Under Linux we don't want
to change the expected behavior of 'zpool status' so these io errors
are still suppressed there.
However, since we do need to know about these events for Linux FMA and
the 'zpool events' interface is new we do post the events. With the
addition of the zio_flags field the posted events now contain enough
information that a user space consumer can identify and discard these
events if it sees fit.
All the upper layers of zfs expect zio->io_error to be positive. I was
careful but I missed one instance in vdev_disk_physio_completion() which
could return a negative error. To ensure all cases are always caught I
had additionally added an ASSERT() to check this before zio_interpret().
Finally, as a debugging aid when zfs is build with --enable-debug all
errors from the backing block devices will be reported to the console
with an error message like this:
ZFS: zio error=5 type=1 offset=4217856 size=8192 flags=60440
Observed during failure mode testing, dsl_scan_setup_sync() allocates
73920 bytes. This is way over the limit of what is wise to do with a
kmem_alloc() and it should probably be moved to a slab. For now I'm
just flagging it with KM_NODEBUG to quiet the error until this can be
revisited.
This commit fixes a bug in vdev_disk_open() in which the whole_disk property
was getting set to 0 for disk devices, even when it was stored as a 1 when the
zpool was created. The whole_disk property lets us detect when the partition
suffix should be stripped from the device name in CLI output. It is also used
to determine how writeback cache should be set for a device.
When an existing zpool is imported its configuration is read from the vdev
label by user space in zpool_read_label(). The whole_disk property is saved in
the nvlist which gets passed into the kernel, where it in turn gets saved in
the vdev struct in vdev_alloc(). Therefore, this value is available in
vdev_disk_open() and should not be overridden by checking the provided device
path, since that path will likely point to a partition and the check will
return the wrong result.
We also add an ASSERT that the whole_disk property is set. We are not aware of
any cases where vdev_disk_open() should be called with a config that doesn't
have this property set. The ASSERT is there so that when debugging is enabled
we can identify any legitimate cases that we are missing. If we never hit the
ASSERT, we can at some point remove it along with the conditional whole_disk
check.

This callback is needed for properly accounting the per-uid and per-gid
space usage. Even if we don't have the ZPL, we still need this callback
in order to have proper on-disk ZPL compatibility and to be able to use
Lustre quotas.
Fortunately, the callback doesn't have any ZPL/VFS dependencies so we
can just move it out of #ifdef HAVE_ZPL.

One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z

mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6
../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure
make make make make
make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
