The 'zfs destroy' changes in 330d06f disrupted how zvol devices
get removed on ZoL. However, it basically boils down to the
fact that we are no longer reliably calling zvol_remove_minor()
via zfs_ioc_destroy_snaps().
Therefore we add the missing call and handle things similarly
to the existing zfs_unmount_snap() case. Ideally we would check
if this is of type DMU_OST_ZFS or DMU_OST_ZVOL and just do the
right thing as in zfs_ioc_destroy(). However, it looks like
it would be fairly expensive to get the type, and it's harmless
to simply attempt the umount and minor removal.
This is also an issue in the latest FreeBSD and Illumos code.
It was being tracked under the following issue, and we may want
to refresh our code when they settle on what they want to do
about it upstream.

Buffers for the ARC are normally backed by the SPL virtual slab.
However, if memory is low, AND no slab objects are available,
AND a new slab cannot be quickly constructed a new emergency
object will be directly allocated.
These objects can be as large as order 5 on a system with 4k
pages. And because they are allocated with KM_PUSHPAGE, to
avoid a potential deadlock, they are not allowed to initiate I/O
to satisfy the allocation. This can result in the occasional
allocation failure.
However, since these allocations are allowed to block and
perform operations such as memory compaction they will eventually
succeed. Since this is not unexpected (just unlikely) behavior
this patch disables the warning for the allocation failure.

When writing via ->writepage() the writeback bit was always cleared
as part of the txg commit callback. However, when the I/O is also
being written synchronsously to the zil we can immediately clear this
bit. There is no need to wait for the subsequent TXG sync since the
data is already safe on stable storage.
This has been observed to reduce the msync(2) delay from up to 5

Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.
* The txg_sync thread
* The zvol write/discard threads
* The zpl_putpage() VFS callback
This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages. If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system. To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.
Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread. However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA. This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.

The vdev queue layer may require a small number of buffers
when attempting to create aggregate I/O requests. Rather than
attempting to allocate them from the global zio buffers, which
is slow under memory pressure, it makes sense to pre-allocate
them because...
1) These buffers are short lived. They are only required for
the life of a single I/O at which point they can be used by
the next I/O.
2) The maximum number of concurrent buffers needed by a vdev is
small. It's roughly limited by the zfs_vdev_max_pending tunable
which defaults to 10.
By keeping a small list of these buffer per-vdev we can ensure
one is always available when we need it. This significantly
reduces contention on the vq->vq_lock, because we no longer
need to perform a slow allocation under this lock. This is
particularly important when memory is already low on the system.
It would probably be wise to extend the use of these buffers beyond
aggregate I/O and in to the raidz implementation. The inability
to quickly allocate buffer for the parity stripes could result in
similiar problems.

The commit, cfc9a5c88f, to fix deadlocks
in zpl_writepage() relied on PF_MEMALLOC. That had the effect of
disabling the direct reclaim path on all allocations originating from
calls to this function, but it failed to address the actual cause of
those deadlocks. This led to the same deadlocks being observed with
swap on zvols, but not with swap on the loop device, which exercises
this code.
The use of PF_MEMALLOC also had the side effect of permitting
allocations to be made from ZONE_DMA in instances that did not require
it. This contributes to the possibility of panics caused by depletion
of pages from ZONE_DMA.

When calling sa_update() and friends it is possible that a spill
buffer will be needed to accomidate the update. When this happens
a hold is taken on the new dbuf and that hold must be released
before calling dmu_tx_commit(). Failing to release the hold will
cause a copy of the dbuf to be made in dbuf_sync_leaf(). This is
done to ensure further updates to the dbuf never sneak in to the
syncing txg.
This could be left to the sa_update() caller. But then the caller
would need to be aware of this internal SA implementation detail.
It is therefore preferable to handle this all internally in the

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
granularity, so the upper layer is aware that it's not supposed to send
discard requests smaller than volblocksize.

The number of blocks that can be discarded in one BLKDISCARD ioctl on a
zvol is currently unlimited. Some applications, such as mkfs, discard
the whole volume at once and they use the maximum possible discard size
to do that. As a result, several gigabytes discard requests are not
uncommon.
Unfortunately, if a large amount of data is allocated in the zvol, ZFS
can be quite slow to process discard requests. This is especially true
if the volblocksize is low (e.g. the 8K default). As a result, very
large discard requests can take a very long time (seconds to minutes
under heavy load) to complete. This can cause a number of problems, most
notably if the zvol is accessed remotely (e.g. via iSCSI), in which case
the client has a high probability of timing out on the request.
This patch solves the issue by adding a new tunable module parameter:
zvol_max_discard_blocks. This indicates the maximum possible range, in
zvol blocks, of one discard operation. It is set by default to 16384
blocks, which appears to be a good tradeoff. Using the default
volblocksize of 8K this is equivalent to 128 MB. When using the maximum
volblocksize of 128K this is equivalent to 2 GB.

The .zfs control directory implementation currently relies on
the fact that there is a direct 1:1 mapping from an object id
to its inode number. This works well as long as the system
uses a 64-bit value to store the inode number.
Unfortunately, the Linux kernel defines the inode number as
an 'unsigned long' type. This means that for 32-bit systems
will only have 32-bit inode numbers but we still have 64-bit
object ids.
This problem is particularly acute for the .zfs directories
which leverage those upper 32-bits. This is done to avoid
conflicting with object ids which are allocated monotonically
starting from 0. This is likely to also be a problem for
datasets on 32-bit systems with more than ~2 billion files.
The right long term fix must remove the simple 1:1 mapping.
Until that's done the only safe thing to do is to disable the
.zfs directory on 32-bit systems.

Gentoo Hardened kernels include the PaX/GRSecurity patches. They use a
dialect of C that relies on a GCC plugin. In particular, struct

which causes GCC to consider all instances of it as const. This caused

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

Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on
whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace
while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in
EBUSY.
This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the
module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in
vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires
jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition
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.

ZoL can create more zvols at runtime than can be configured during

When a slow system has more than a few hundred zvols, udev will
fork bomb during system start and spend too much time in device
detection routines, so upstart kills it.
The zfs_inhibit_dev option allows an affected system to be rescued
by skipping /dev/zd* creation and thereby avoiding the udev
overload. All zvols are made inaccessible if this option is set, but
the `zfs destroy` and `zfs send` commands still work, and ZFS
filesystems can be mounted.

zil_slog_limit specifies the maximum commit size to be written to the separate
log device. Larger commits bypass the separate log device and go directly to
the data devices.
The optimal value for zil_slog_limit directly depends on the latency and
throughput characteristics of both the separate log device and the data disks.
Small synchronous writes are faster on low-latency separate log devices (e.g.
SSDs) whereas large synchronous writes are faster on high-latency data disks
(e.g. spindles) because of higher throughput, especially with a large array.
The point is, the line between "small" and "large" synchronous writes in this
scenario is heavily dependent on the hardware used. That's why it should be

Issue #710
The mode argument of iops->create()/mkdir()/mknod() was changed from
an 'int' to a 'umode_t'. To prevent a compiler warning an autoconf
check was added to detect the API change and then correctly set a
zpl_umode_t typedef. There is no functional change.

Previously, it was possible for the direct reclaim path to be invoked
when a write to a zvol was made. When a zvol is used as a swap device,
this often causes swap requests to depend on additional swap requests,
which deadlocks. We address this by disabling the direct reclaim path
on zvols.
