zfsonlinux/spl#bcb15891ab394e11615eee08bba1fd85ac32e158 implemented
Linux 3.6+ support by adding duplicate vn_rename and vn_remove
functions. The new ones were cleaner, but the duplicate functions made
the codebase less maintainable. This adds some compatibility shims that
allow us to retire the older vn_rename and vn_remove in favor of the new
ones on old kernels. The result is a net 143 line reduction in lines of
code and a cleaner codebase.

Linux kernel 3.17 removes the action function argument from
wait_on_bit(). Add autoconf test and compatibility macro to support
the new interface.
The former "wait_on_bit" interface required an 'action' function to
be provided which does the actual waiting. There were over 20 such
functions in the kernel, many of them identical, though most cases
can be satisfied by one of just two functions: one which uses
io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). This API change
was made to consolidate all of those redundant wait functions.

For small objects the Linux slab allocator has several advantages
over its counterpart in the SPL. These include:
1) It is more memory-efficient and packs objects more tightly.
2) It is continually tuned to maximize performance.
Therefore it makes sense to layer the SPLs slab allocator on top
of the Linux slab allocator. This allows us to leverage the
advantages above while preserving the Illumos semantics we depend
on. However, there are some things we need to be careful of:
1) The Linux slab allocator was never designed to work well with
large objects. Because the SPL slab must still handle this use
case a cut off limit was added to transition from Linux slab
backed objects to kmem or vmem backed slabs.
spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
size in bytes will be backed by the Linux slab. By default
this value is zero which disables the Linux slab functionality.
Reasonable values for this cut off limit are in the range of
4096-16386 bytes.
spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
size in bytes will be backed by a kmem slab. Objects over this
size will be vmem backed instead. This value defaults to
1/8 a page, or 512 bytes on an x86_64 architecture.
2) Be aware that using the Linux slab may inadvertently introduce
new deadlocks. Care has been taken previously to ensure that
all allocations which occur in the write path use GFP_NOIO.
However, there may be internal allocations performed in the
Linux slab which do not honor these flags. If this is the case
a deadlock may occur.
The path forward is definitely to start relying on the Linux slab.
But for that to happen we need to start building confidence that
there aren't any unexpected surprises lurking for us. And ideally
need to move completely away from using the SPLs slab for large
memory allocations. This patch is a first step.
NOTES:
1) The KMC_NOMAGAZINE flag was leveraged to support the Linux slab
backed caches but it is not supported for kmem/vmem backed caches.
2) Regardless of the spl_kmem_cache_*_limit settings a cache may
be explicitly set to a given type by passed the KMC_KMEM,
KMC_VMEM, or KMC_SLAB flags during cache creation.
3) The constructors, destructors, and reclaim callbacks are all
functional and will be called regardless of the cache type.
4) KMC_SLAB caches will not appear in /proc/spl/kmem/slab due to
the issues involved in presenting correct object accounting.
Instead they will appear in /proc/slabinfo under the same names.
5) Several kmem SPLAT tests needed to be fixed because they relied
incorrectly on internal kmem slab accounting. With the updated
test cases all the SPLAT tests pass as expected.
6) An autoconf test was added to ensure that the __GFP_COMP flag
was correctly added to the default flags used when allocating
a slab. This is required to ensure all pages in higher order
slabs are properly refcounted, see ae16ed9.
7) When using the SLUB allocator there is no need to attempt to
set the __GFP_COMP flag. This has been the default behavior
for the SLUB since Linux 2.6.25.
8) When using the SLUB it may be desirable to set the slub_nomerge
kernel parameter to prevent caches from being merged.

Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity. This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting. usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.
Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires(). Specifically,
CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
interpreted as the expiration time itself.
CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

The kern_path_parent() function was removed from Linux 3.6 because
it was observed that all the callers just want the parent dentry.
The simpler kern_path_locked() function replaces kern_path_parent()
and does the lookup while holding the ->i_mutex lock.
This is good news for the vn implementation because it removes the
need for us to handle the locking. However, it makes it harder to
implement a single readable vn_remove()/vn_rename() function which
is usually what we prefer.
Therefore, we implement a new version of vn_remove()/vn_rename()
for Linux 3.6 and newer kernels. This allows us to leave the
existing working implementation untouched, and to add a simpler
version for newer kernels.
Long term I would very much like to see all of the vn code removed
since what this code enabled is generally frowned upon in the kernel.

This adds an interface to "punch holes" (deallocate space) in VFS
files. The interface is identical to the Solaris VOP_SPACE interface.
This interface is necessary for TRIM support on file vdevs.
This is implemented using Linux fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), which
was introduced in 2.6.38. For a brief time before 2.6.38 this was done
using the truncate_range inode operation, which was quickly deprecated.
This patch only supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
This adds support for the truncate_range() inode operation to
VOP_SPACE() for file hole punching. This API is deprecated and removed
in 3.5, so it's only useful for old kernels.
On tmpfs, the truncate_range() inode operation translates to
shmem_truncate_range(). Unfortunately, this function expects the end
offset to be inclusive and aligned to the end of a page. If it is not,
the kernel will stop with a BUG_ON().
This patch fixes the issue by adapting to the constraints set forth by
shmem_truncate_range().

This patch adds a new autoconf function: SPL_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL.
This new function does the following:
- Call LINUX_TRY_COMPILE with the specified parameters.
- If unsuccessful, return false.
- If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin,
return true.
- Else, call CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT with the specified parameters and
return the result.
All calls to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT are converted to
LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL so that the tests work even when configuring
for builtin on a kernel which doesn't have loadable module support, or
hasn't been built yet.
The only exception are:
- AC_GET_VMALLOC_INFO, because we don't even have a public header to
include in the test case, but that's okay considering this symbol can
be ignored just fine.
- SPL_AC_DEVICE_CREATE, which is legacy API for 2.6.18 kernels. Since
kernels this old are no longer supported it should arguably just be
removed entirely from the build system.
Note that we're also checking for the correct prototype with an actual
call, which was not the case with CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT. However, for
"complicated" test cases like with multiple symbol versions (e.g.
vfs_fsync), we stick with the original behavior and only check for the
function's existence.

Issue zfsonlinux/zfs#851
Currently, when building a test case, we're compiling an entire Linux
module from beginning to end. This includes the MODPOST stage, which
generates a "conftest.mod.c" file with some boilerplate module
declaration code.
This poses a problem when configuring for built-in on kernels which have
loadable module support disabled. In this case conftest.mod.c is
referencing disabled code, resulting in a compilation failure, thus
breaking the tests.
This patch fixes the issue by faking the modpost stage when the
--enable-linux-builtin option is provided. It does so by forcing the
modpost command to be /bin/true, and using an empty conftest.mod.c file.
The test module still compiles fine, although the result isn't loadable,
but we don't really care at this point.
Note it is important to preserve the modpost stage when building out of
tree. This allows for the posibility of configure checks to leverage

Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s. This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart. The result of this
is the following behavior.
--enable-debug - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
are never required for correct operation.
They are disabled by default because they
may impact performance.
--enable-debug-log - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log This infrastructure allows the spl code and
its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
log. The granularity of the logging can be
controlled by a debug mask. By default the
mask disables most debug messages resulting
in a negligible performance impact. Because
of this the debug log is enabled by default.

Added the necessary build infrastructure for building packages
compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well
on an Arch Linux machine to create two binary packages compatible with
the pacman package manager, one for the spl userland utilties and
another for the spl kernel modules. The new packages can then be
installed by running:
# pacman -U $package.pkg.tar.xz
In addition, source-only packages suitable for an Arch Linux chroot
environment or remote builder can also be built using the 'sarch' make
rule.
NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head
of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx.
As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the
PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may
or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball
is not being downloaded from an outside source.

Preferentially use the vfs_fsync() function. This function was
initially introduced in 2.6.29 and took three arguments. As
of 2.6.35 the dentry argument was dropped from the function.
For older kernels fall back to using file_fsync() which also
took three arguments including the dentry.

Issue #52
Prior to Linux 3.1 the kern_path_parent symbol was exported for
use by kernel modules. As of Linux 3.1 it is now longer easily
available. To handle this case the spl will now dynamically
look up address of the missing symbol at module load time.

Issue #52
Older versions of gcc (gcc-4.1.2) will treat an 'incompatible
pointer type' as a warning instead of an error. This results
in HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK being defined incorrectly. This
failure mode was observed when using a RHEL6 2.6.32 based kernel
under RHEL5.5 which contains the old version of gcc. To resolve
the issue the warning is explicitly promoted to an error.

The latest kernels no longer define AUTOCONF_INCLUDED which was
being used to detect the new style autoconf.h kernel configure
options. This results in the CONFIG_* checks always failing
incorrectly for newer kernels.
The fix for this is a simplification of the testing method.
Rather than attempting to explicitly include to renamed config
header. It is simpler to unconditionally include <linux/module.h>
which must pick up the correctly named header.
