If the ZAP object containing a snapshot map is corrupted due to an

This patch attempts to allow a recovery avenue from such situations by

Since ZoL allows large blocks to be used by volumes, unlike upstream
illumos, the feature flag must be checked prior to volume creation.
This is critical because unlike filesystems, volumes will create a
object which uses large blocks as part of the create. Therefore, it
cannot be safely checked in zfs_check_settable() after the dataset
can been created.
In addition this patch updates the relevant error messages to use
zfs_nicenum() to print the maximum blocksize.

When support for large blocks was added DMU_MAX_ACCESS was increased
to allow for blocks of up to 16M to fit in a transaction handle.
This had the side effect of increasing the max_hw_sectors_kb for
volumes, which are scaled off DMU_MAX_ACCESS, to 64M from 10M.
This is an issue for volumes which by default use an 8K block size
because it results in dmu_buf_hold_array_by_dnode() allocating a
64K array for the dbufs. The solution is to restore the maximum
size to ~10M. This patch specifically changes it to 16M which is
close enough.

Starting from Linux 4.1 allows iov_iter with bio_vec to be passed into

With the restructured uio_t, we can safely pass bio_vec in uio_t with UIO_BVEC
set. The uio* functions are modified to handle bio_vec case separately.

The spa_config_write() function relies on the classic method of
making sure updates to the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache file are atomic.
It writes out a temporary version of the file and then uses
vn_rename() to switch it in to place. This way there can never
exist a partial version of the file, it's all or nothing.
Conceptually this is a good strategy and it makes good sense
for platforms where it's easy to do a rename within the kernel.
Unfortunately, Linux is not one of those platforms. Even doing
basic I/O to a file system from within the kernel is strongly
discouraged. In order to support this at all the vn_rename()
implementation ends up being complex and fragile. So fragile
that recent Linux 4.2 changes have broken it.
While it is possible to update vn_rename() to work with the
latest kernels a better long term strategy is to stop using
vn_rename() entirely. Then all this complex, fragile code can
be removed. Achieving this is straight forward because
config_write() is the only consumer of vn_rename().
This patch reworks spa_config_write() to update the cache file
in place. The file will be truncated, written out, and then
synced to disk. If an error is encountered the file will be
unlinked leaving the system in a consistent state.
This does expose a tiny tiny tiny window where a system could
crash at exactly the wrong moment could leave a partially written
cache file. However, this is highly unlikely because the cache
file is 1) infrequently updated, 2) only a few kilobytes in size,
and 3) written with a single vn_rdwr() call.
If this were to somehow happen it poses no risk to pool. Simply
removing the cache file will allow the pool to be imported cleanly.
Going forward this will be even less of an issue as we intend to
disable the use of a cache file by default.
Bottom line not using vn_rename() allows us to make ZoL more
robust against upstream kernel changes.

This brings the behavior of arc_memory_throttle() back in sync with
illumos. The updated memory throttling policy roughly goes like this:
* Never throttle if more than 10% of memory is free. This threshold
is configurable with the zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent module option.
* Minimize any throttling of kswapd even when free memory is below
the set threshold. Allow it to write out pages as quickly as
possible to help alleviate the memory pressure.
* Delay all other threads when free memory is below the set threshold
in order to avoid compounding the memory pressure. Buffers will be
evicted from the ARC to reduce the issue.
The Linux specific zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option has
been removed in favor of the existing zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent tuning.
Setting zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent=0 will have the same effect as
zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable and it was therefore redundant.

While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of
the VM it does provide us total free pages. This information should
be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather
than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim. Conceptually
this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos.
It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable
on a system. While the default values are expected to work well
for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed.
The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose.
zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave

Commit d958324 fixed the deadlock between page lock and range lock by
unlocking the page lock before acquiring the range lock. However,
this created a new issue #3075.
The problem is that if we can't set the write back bit before releasing
the page lock. Then other processes will be unaware that the page is
under active write back. They may therefore truncate the page,
invalidate the page, or not honor the sync semantics.
To workaround this problem we re-dirty the page before dropping the
page lock. While this doesn't prevent the page from being truncated
it does ensure it won't be invalidated. Then the range lock and the
page lock are reacquired in the correct deadlock-free order.
Once both locks are safely held the page state can be rechecked. If
all is well and the page is in the expect state the dirty bit can be
removed, the write back bit set, and the page removed from the skip
count. If not the page will be handled as appropriate.

In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and

their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged

Porting Notes:
The good news is that many of the recent changes made upstream to the
ARC tackled issues previously observed by ZoL with similar solutions.
The bad news is those solution weren't identical to the ones we applied.
This patch is designed to split the difference and apply as much of the
upstream work as possible.
* The arc_available_memory() function was removed previous in ZoL but
due to the upstream changes it makes sense to add it back. This function
has been customized for Linux so that it can be used to determine a low
memory. This provides the same basic functionality as the illumos version
allowing us to minimize changes through the rest of the code base. The
exact mechanism used to detect a low memory state remains unchanged so
this change isn't a significant as it might first appear.
* This patch includes the long standing fix for arc_shrink() which was
originally proposed in #2167. Since there were related changes to this
function it made sense to include that work.
* The arc_init() function has been re-factored. As before it sets sane
default values for the ARC but then calls arc_tuning_update() to apply
user specific tuning made via module options. The arc_tuning_update()
function is then called periodically by the arc_reclaim_thread() to
apply changes to the tunings made during normal operation.

When an inode is detected with invalid mode bits the safe thing to
do is panic the system. This indicates a problem with the contents
of a dnode and it should never be possible. This is the default
behavior.
Unfortunately, due to flaws in the system attribute (SA) implementation
(on all platforms) it was possible that ZFS could create a damaged dnode.
This was a rare issue which only impacted dnodes which used a spill
block. Normally only symlinks and files with ACLs would require a
spill block. However, if the dataset had the xattr=sa property set
and extended attributes were used this problem could occur.
As of the 0.6.4 tag the root cause of this issue has been fixed. For
pools which are exhibiting this damage the 'zfs_recover=1' module option
may be set. This will cause ZFS to interpret the dnode with invalid
mode bits as a normal file. This may allow the files to be accessed
for recovery purposes.

Here the 130,197 is the partition created on the log device when adding it
to the pool, whereas the base device is 130,96. As one can see, the writes
to the SLOG are not marked synchronous (the S is missing next to W), and
the queue unplugs occur based on the timer (UT event) resulting in slightly
over 2 msec latency of writes. This results in a sub-par performance of
single stream synchronous writes (limited by latency of the SLOG).
When the WRITE_SYNC is set, a similar trace looks as follows:

As one can see, all the writes are synchronous (WS), and I/O completions
(e.g. from issue I to completion C) take 160-250 usec, or about 10x faster.
Since WRITE_SYNC or READ_SYNC flags are among several factors that are
considered when processing bio requests, it seems prudent to mark all the
zio requests of synchronous priority with the READ/WRITE_SYNC flags to make
them eligible for consideration as such by the Linux block I/O layer.

As of gcc version 5.1.1 a new warning has been added to detect the
use of a boolean in a switch statement (-Wswitch-bool). Resolve the
warning by explicitly casting the value to an integer type.

As of gcc version 5.1.1 a new boolean comparison warning has been
introduced. This warning is harmless but is triggered several places
in the ZFS code base. Because warnings are promoted to errors when
building with debugging enabled it is necessary to disable the warning
when using versions of gcc which automatically enabling this check.

For the purposes of creating sparse files the truncate command is
preferable to fallocate because generic sparse files are more widely
supported by older platforms. Specifically Debian Wheezy which is
based on a 2.6.32 kernel used ext3 by default which at the time did
not support it.

We fail to make partitions on xvd (Xen Virtual Block) devices. This also
causes debug builds of zpool create to return an error when given xen
virtual block devices. These devices should be given the same treatment
as vd (KVM Virtual Block) devices, so we adjust the relevant code paths.
