- Added SPL_AC_3ARGS_ON_EACH_CPU configure check to determine
if the older 4 argument version of on_each_cpu() should be
used or the new 3 argument version. The retry argument was
dropped in the new API which was never used anyway.
- Updated work queue compatibility wrappers. The old way this
worked was to pass a data point when initialized the workqueue.
The new API assumed the work item is embedding in a structure
and we us container_of() to find that data pointer.
- Updated skc->skc_flags to be an unsigned long which is now
type checked in the bit operations. This silences the warnings.
- Updated autogen products and splat tests accordingly
- Added slab work queue task which gradually ages and free's slabs
from the cache which have not been used recently.
- Optimized slab packing algorithm to ensure each slab contains the
maximum number of objects without create to large a slab.
- Fix deadlock, we can never call kv_free() under the skc_lock. We
now unlink the objects and slabs from the cache itself and attach
them to a private work list. The contents of the list are then
subsequently freed outside the spin lock.
- Move magazine create/destroy operation on to local cpu.
- Further performace optimizations by minimize the usage of the large
per-cache skc_lock. This includes the addition of KMC_BIT_REAPING
bit mask which is used to prevent concurrent reaping, and to defer
new slab creation when reaping is occuring.
- Add KMC_BIT_DESTROYING bit mask which is set when the cache is being
destroyed, this is used to catch any task accessing the cache while
it is being destroyed.
- Add comments to all the functions and additional comments to try
and make everything as clear as possible.
- Major cleanup and additions to the SPLAT kmem tests to more
rigerously stress the cache implementation and look for any problems.
This includes correctness and performance tests.
- Updated portable work queue interfaces
That said when working with a finite resource like memory failure really
is always a possibility. It would be far better longer term if the ZFS
code could be weened off this assumption and properly handle the cases
where an allocation fails. Still I've applied the patch to spl-0.3.4
since this layer is supposed to emulate Solaris as closely as possible.

* spl-07-kmem-cleanup.patch
This moves all the debugging code from sys/kmem.h to spl-kmem.c, because
the huge macros were hard to debug and were bloating functions that
allocated memory. I also fixed some other minor problems, including
32-bit fixes and a reported memory leak which was just due to using the
wrong free function.

spl-05-div64.patch
This is a much less intrusive fix for undefined 64-bit division symbols
when compiling the DMU in 32-bit kernels.
* spl-06-atomic64.patch
This is a workaround for 32-bit kernels that don't have atomic64_t.

at a time as I audit it. This chunk finishes moving the SPL entirely
off the linux slab on to the SPL implementation. It differs slightly
from the proposed version in that the spl continues to export to
all the Solaris types and functions. These do conflict with the
Linux slab so a module usings these interfaces must not include the
SPL slab if they also intend to use the linux slab. Or they must
explcitly #undef the macros which remap the functioin to their
spl_* equivilants.
A nice side of effect of dropping the entire linux slab is we
don't need to autoconf checks anymore. They kept messing with
the slab API endlessly!

based of the spl_kmem_obj_t tacked on the end of each object.
This actually isn't so back because we are now allocing large
chunks for the slab and partitioning it ourselves. So there's
not a ton of wasted space. We may suffer a performance hit
however due to alignment issues.
- Remove remaining depenancies on the linux slab implementation.
We're standing on our own now for better or worse.
- Rework slabs to be either kmem or vmem based. If neither
KMC_VMEM of KMC_KMEM are specified we make a decent guess
about what will work best for their based on the object
size. Additionally we provide a kmem_virt() function caller
can use to see if they have a virtual or physical address.
- Minor fixups in the test suite.

cycle count which was costing me overhead. It was hurting
performance pretty badly for heavily used caches. I'm also
thinking the hash may be hurting me as well and it might
be worth sticking a pointer in to a little space after the
alloced object.

based by vmalloc()'ed memory. I now alloc a slab which is
roughly 32*spl_obj_size and in this block of memory I place
the slab descriptor, slab object descriptors, and objects
themselves. This greatly reduces vmalloc lock contention.
Still some minor cleanup remains and fine tuning but
it's working pretty well.

well for the expected workloads. Improvement in this commit include:
- Added DEBUG_KMEM_TRACKING #define which can optionally be set
when DEBUG_KMEM is defined to do per allocation tracking. This
allows us to get all the lightweight kmem debugging enabled by
default which is pretty light weight, and only when looking
for a memory leak we can briefly enable the per alloc tracking.
- Added set_normalized_timespec() in to SPL to simply using
the timespec() primatives from within a module.
- Added per-spinlock cycle counters to the slab in an attempt
to run down a lock contention issue. The contended lock
was in vmalloc() but I'm going to leave the cycle counters
in place for a little while until I'm convinced there arn't
other locking improvement possible in the slab.
- Added a proc interface to the slab to export per slab
cache statistics to /proc/spl/kmem/slab for analysis.
- Reworked spl_slab_alloc() function to allocate from kmem for
small allocation and vmem for large allocations. This improved
things considerably but futher work is needed.

that part of the code which were catching me. Finally I fixed
a small race in kmem_test8.

factor of 10x improvement on SMP system due to reduced lock contention.
This may put me in the ballpark of what is needed. We can still further
improve things on NUMA systems by creating an additional L3 cache per
memory node instead of the current global pool. With luck this won't
be needed. I should also take another look at the locking now that
everything is working. There's a good chance I can tighten it up a
little bit and improve things a little more.

to be overly clever and the context switch when the semaphore was busy
was destroying performance. Converting to a simple spin lock bough me
a factor of 50 or so. That said it's still not good enough. Tests
show bad performance and we are still CPU bound. The logical fix is
I need to implement per-cpu hot caches to minimize the SMP contention.
Linux and Solaris both have this, I was hoping to do without but it
looks like that's not to be.

working on this branch for the next few days I suggested you work
off of the 0.3.1 tag. The following changes are fairly extensive
and are designed to make the SPL compatible with all kernels in
the range of 2.6.18-2.6.25. There were 13 relevant API changes
between these releases and I have added the needed autoconf tests
to check for them. However, this has not all been tested extensively.
I'll sort of the breakage on Fedora Core 9 and RHEL5 this week.

- Bite the bullet and fully autoconfize the debug options in the configure
time parameters. By default all the debug support is disable in the core
SPL build, but available to modules which enable it when building against
the SPL. To enable particular SPL debug support use the follow configure
options:
--enable-debug Internal ASSERTs
--enable-debug-kmem Detailed memory accounting
--enable-debug-mutex Detailed mutex tracking
--enable-debug_kstat Kstat info exported to /proc
--enable-debug-callb Additional callb debug

may not fail. To get this behavior I'd added a retry to the shim layer
even though it is abusive to the VM, at least it should prevent the crash.
Additionally I added a proc counter so I can easily check how often this
is happening. It should be fairly rare, but likely will get worse and
worse the longer the machine has been up.

- Detailed kmem memory allocation tracking. We can now get on
spl module unload a list of all memory allocations which were
not free'd and where the original alloc was. E.g.

- Shift to using rwsems in kmem implmentation, to simply locking and
improve concurency.
- Shift to using rwsems in mutex implementation, additionally ensure we
never sleep in the init function if non-zero preempt_count or
interrupts are disabled as can happen in a slab cache ctor/dtor.
- Other minor formating fixes and such.
TODO:
- Finish the vmem memory allocation tracking
- Vet all other SPL primatives for potential sleeping during *_init. I
suspect the rwlock implemenation does this and should be fixes just
like the mutex implemenation.

to easily live with 4 page allocations.

stuff which only inclused the getf()/releasef() in to the vnode area
where it will only really be used. These calls allow a user to
grab an open file struct given only the known open fd for a particular
user context. ZFS makes use of these, but they're a bit tricky to
test from within the kernel since you already need the file open
and know the fd. So we basically spook the system calls to setup
the environment we need for the splat test case and verify given
just the know fd we can get the file, create the needed vnode, and
then use the vnode interface as usual to read and write from it.
While I was hacking away I also noticed a NULL termination issue
in the second kobj test case so I fixed that too. In fact, I fixed
