The vast majority of these changes are in Linux specific code.
They are the result of not having an automated style checker to
validate the code when it was originally written. Others were
caused when the common code was slightly adjusted for Linux.
This patch contains no functional changes. It only refreshes
the code to conform to style guide.
Everyone submitting patches for inclusion upstream should now
run 'make checkstyle' and resolve any warning prior to opening
a pull request. The automated builders have been updated to

The comment in zfs_close states that "Under Linux the zfs_close() hook
is not symmetric with zfs_open()". This is not true. zfs_open/zfs_close
is associated with every successful struct file creation/deletion, which
should always be balanced.
Here is an example of what's wrong:
Process A B
open(O_SYNC)
z_sync_cnt = 1
open(O_SYNC)
z_sync_cnt = 2
close()
z_sync_cnt = 0
So z_sync_cnt is 0 even if B still has the file with O_SYNC.
Also moves the generic_file_open call before zfs_open to ensure that in
the case generic_file_open fails z_sync_cnt is not incremented. This
is safe because generic_file_open has no side effects.

Issue #1962
Previously, the atime-modifying vnops called ZFS_ACCESSTIME_STAMP()
followed by zfs_inode_update() to update the atime. However, since atimes
are cached in the znode for delayed writing, the zfs_inode_update()
function would effectively ignore the cached atime by reading it from
the SA.
This commit moves the updating of the atime in the inode into
zfs_tstamp_update_setup() which is called by the ZFS_ACCESSTIME_STAMP()
macro and eliminates the call to zfs_inode_update() in the atime-modifying
vnops.
It's possible the same thing could have been done directly in
zfs_inode_update() but I wasn't sure that it was safe in all cases where
it is called.
The effect is that atime handling is as if "strictatime" were selected;
even if the filesystem is mounted with "relatime".

Issue #1949
4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work
1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync
read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler
issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class
has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator
algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of
concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve
good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write
throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced
below) for more details.
2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and
txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays
when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of
dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When
there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be
delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait"
that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several
seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is
decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end
of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o
scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the
block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for
more details.
This diff has several other effects, including:
* the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed;
use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead.
* the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the
time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer
an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data.
Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is
always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal.
Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this.
* zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression,
checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks
to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is
rounded up).
--matt
APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler
The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem
with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of
i/os can see very long delays.
For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async
writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this
situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds
(typically 3 seconds).
If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must
service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we
enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in
the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because
there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we
must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes)
before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous
i/os (reads or ZIL writes).
Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
- zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because
object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at
allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved
from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two
new fields.
- vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue
(vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from.
This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used
for the same purpose.
- vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine
the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer
exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of
the five I/O classes described above.
- The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by
sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread
(curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in
Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called
zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other
downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic.
- These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added
to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page.

The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in
Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but
means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures.
The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most
likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM
sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to
2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes
it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable
zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this
solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a
reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected
systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults.
- Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration.
- Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take
effect.
- Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file
with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts
how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty
data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how
many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which
we expect to never happen).
- The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in
zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate().
- In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the
heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large
structures on the stack.

Currently, using msync() results in the following code path:
sys_msync -> zpl_fsync -> filemap_write_and_wait_range -> zpl_writepages -> write_cache_pages -> zpl_putpage
In such a code path, zil_commit() is called as part of zpl_putpage().
This means that for each page, the write is handed to the DMU, the ZIL
is committed, and only then do we move on to the next page. As one might
imagine, this results in atrocious performance where there is a large
number of pages to write: instead of committing a batch of N writes,
we do N commits containing one page each. In some extreme cases this
can result in msync() being ~700 times slower than it should be, as well
as very inefficient use of ZIL resources.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the requested writes
are batched and then committed only once. Unfortunately, the
implementation is somewhat non-trivial because there is no way to run
write_cache_pages in SYNC mode (so that we get all pages) without
making it wait on the writeback tag for each page.
The solution implemented here is composed of two parts:
- I added a new callback system to the ZIL, which allows the caller to
be notified when its ITX gets written to stable storage. One nice
thing is that the callback is called not only in zil_commit() but
in zil_sync() as well, which means that the caller doesn't have to
care whether the write ended up in the ZIL or the DMU: it will get
notified as soon as it's safe, period. This is an improvement over
dmu_tx_callback_register() that was used previously, which only
supports DMU writes. The rationale for this change is to allow
zpl_putpage() to be notified when a ZIL commit is completed without
having to block on zil_commit() itself.
- zpl_writepages() now calls write_cache_pages in non-SYNC mode, which
will prevent (1) write_cache_pages from blocking, and (2) zpl_putpage
from issuing ZIL commits. zpl_writepages() will issue the commit
itself instead of relying on zpl_putpage() to do it, thus nicely
batching the writes. Note, however, that we still have to call
write_cache_pages() again in SYNC mode because there is an edge case
documented in the implementation of write_cache_pages() whereas it
will not give us all dirty pages when running in non-SYNC mode. Thus
we need to run it at least once in SYNC mode to make sure we honor
persistency guarantees. This only happens when the pages are
modified at the same time msync() is running, which should be rare.
In most cases there won't be any additional pages and this second
call will do nothing.
Note that this change also fixes a bug related to #907 whereas calling
msync() on pages that were already handed over to the DMU in a previous
writepages() call would make msync() block until the next TXG sync
instead of returning as soon as the ZIL commit is complete. The new
callback system fixes that problem.

This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems. Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set. The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.
By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property. Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them. If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.

Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.
To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.
Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.
Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

zfs_readdir() is used by getdents(), which provides a list of all files
in directory, their types and an offset that be used by llseek() to seek
to the next directory entry.
On Solaris, the first two directory entries "." and ".." respectively
have offsets 1 and 2 on ZFS while the other files have rather large
numbers. Currently, ZFSOnLinux is giving "." offset 0 and all other
entries large numbers. The first entry's next entry offset points to
itself, which causes software that uses llseek() in conjunction with
getdents() for filesystem navigation to enter an infinite loop. The
offsets used for each directory entry are filesystem specific on all
platforms, so we can fix this by adopting the Solaris behavior.
Also, we currently report each directory entry as having type 0 (???).
This is not wrong, but we can do better. getdents() on Solaris does not
appear to provide this information, but it does on Linux and Mac OS X
do. ZFS provides easy access to type information in zfs_readdir(), so
this patch provides this as well.

It's my understanding that the zfs_fsyncer_key TSD was added as

(100+ms) fsync() system call times for fsync() heavy workloads.
However, under Linux I'm not seeing the same contention that
was originally described. Therefore, I'm removing this code
in order to ween ourselves off any dependence on TSD. If the
original performance issue reappears on Linux we can revisit
fixing it without resorting to TSD.
This just leaves one small ZFS TSD consumer. If it can be

Revert the portion of commit d3aa3ea which always resulted in the
SAs being update when an mmap()'ed file was closed. That change
accidentally resulted in unexpected ctime updates which upset tools
like git. That was always a horrible hack and I'm happy it will
never make it in to a tagged release.
The right fix is something I initially resisted doing because I
was worried about the additional overhead. However, in hindsight
the overhead isn't as bad as I feared.
This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is
unsurprisingly called when an inode is dirtied. We leverage this
callback to keep the znode SAs strictly in sync with the inode.
However, for now we're going to go slowly to avoid introducing
any new unexpected issues by only updating the atime, mtime, and
ctime. This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

When updating a file via mmap()'ed I/O preserve the mtime/ctime
which were updated when the page was made writable by the generic
callback filemap_page_mkwrite().
But more importantly than preserving the exact time add the missing
call to sa_bulk_update(). This ensures that the znode modifications
are written to disk as part of the transaction. Without this the
inode may mistaken rollback to the previous on-disk znode state.
Additionally, for mmap()'ed znodes explicitly set the atime, mtime,
and ctime on close using the up to date values in the inode. This
is critical because writepage() may occur after close and on close
we need to ensure the values are correct.

Gunnar Beutner did all the hard work on this one by correctly
identifying that this issue is a race between dmu_sync() and
dbuf_dirty().
Now in all cases the caller is responsible for preventing this
race by making sure the zfs_range_lock() is held when dirtying
a buffer which may be referenced in a log record. The mmap
case which relies on zfs_putpage() was not taking the range
lock. This code was accidentally dropped when the function
was rewritten for the Linux VFS.
This patch adds the required range locking to zfs_putpage().
It also adds the missing ZFS_ENTER()/ZFS_EXIT() macros which
aren't strictly required due to the VFS holding a reference.
However, this makes the code more consistent with the upsteam
code and there's no harm in being extra careful here.

Commit 2b2861362f accidentally
introduced this issue by only conditionally registering the
commit callback in the async case.
The error handing code for the dmu_tx_assign() failure case
relied on there always being a registered commit callback to
clear the PG_writeback bit. Since that is no longer strictly
true for the synchronous case we must explicitly invoke the
callback.

When replaying an unlink/remove operation via zfs_rmdir() the object
being removed will be instantiated by a call to zfs_dirent_lock().
This means that there is a single reference protecting the object.
Right before the call to zfs_inode_update() this reference is dropped
which may cause the object to be destroyed. This will result in a
NULL dereference as shown by the stack trace is issue #782.
This likely isn't an issue during normal operation because there is
always an additional reference held on the object by the VFS.

Issue #917
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
seconds down 10s of miliseconds. One workload which is expected
to benefit from this are the intermittent samba hands described

Add support for the .zfs control directory. This was accomplished
by leveraging as much of the existing ZFS infrastructure as posible
and updating it for Linux as required. The bulk of the core
functionality is now all there with the following limitations.
*) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37
or newer kernel. The exception is RHEL6.2 which has backported
the d_automount patches.
*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected. However,
this functionality is only available to root until zfs
delegations are finished.
* mkdir - create a snapshot
* rmdir - destroy a snapshot
* mv - rename a snapshot
The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.
*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37. This should
be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.
*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
The majority of the ground work for this is complete. However,
finishing this work will require resolving some lingering
integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server.
*) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality
has yet been implemented.

Issue #334
When using zfs to back a Lustre filesystem it's advantageous to
to store a fid with the object id in the directory zap. The only
technical impediment to doing this is that the zpl code expects
a single value in the zap per directory entry.
This change relaxes that requirement such that multiple entries
are allowed provided the first one is the object id. The zpl
code will just ignore additional entries. This allows the ZoL
count to mount datasets which are being used as Lustre server
backends.
Once the upstream feature flags support is merged in this change
should be updated to a read-only feature. Until this occurs
other zfs implementations will not be able to read the zfs
filesystems created by Lustre.

Fixes#431
While the existing implementation of .writepage()/zpl_putpage() was
functional it was not entirely correct. In particular, it would move
dirty pages in to a clean state simply after copying them in to the
ARC cache. This would result in the pages being lost if the system
were to crash enough though the Linux VFS believed them to be safe on
stable storage.
Since at the moment virtually all I/O, except mmap(2), bypasses the
page cache this isn't as bad as it sounds. However, as hopefully
start using the page cache more getting this right becomes more
important so it's good to improve this now.
This patch takes a big step in that direction by updating the code
to correctly move dirty pages through a writeback phase before they
are marked clean. When a dirty page is copied in to the ARC it will
now be set in writeback and a completion callback is registered with
the transaction. The page will stay in writeback until the dmu runs
the completion callback indicating the page is on stable storage.
At this point the page can be safely marked clean.
This process is normally entirely asynchronous and will be repeated
for every dirty page. This may initially sound inefficient but most
of these pages will end up in a few txgs. That means when they are
eventually written to disk they should be nicely batched. However,
there is room for improvement. It may still be desirable to batch
up the pages in to larger writes for the dmu. This would reduce
the number of callbacks and small 4k buffer required by the ARC.
Finally, if the caller requires that the I/O be done synchronously
by setting WB_SYNC_ALL or if ZFS_SYNC_ALWAYS is set. Then the I/O
will trigger a zil_commit() to flush the data to stable storage.
At which point the registered callbacks will be run leaving the
date safe of disk and marked clean before returning from .writepage.

When modifing overlapping regions of a file using mmap(2) and
write(2)/read(2) it is possible to deadlock due to a lock inversion.
The zfs_write() and zfs_read() hooks first take the zfs range lock
and then lock the individual pages. Conversely, when using mmap'ed
I/O the zpl_writepage() hook is called with the individual page
locks already taken and then zfs_putpage() takes the zfs range lock.
The most straight forward fix is to simply not take the zfs range
lock in the mmap(2) case. The individual pages will still be locked
thus serializing access. Updating the same region of a file with
write(2) and mmap(2) has always been a dodgy thing to do. This change
at a minimum ensures we don't deadlock and is consistent with the
existing Linux semantics enforced by the VFS.
This isn't an issue under Solaris because the only range locking
performed will be with the zfs range locks. It's up to each filesystem
to perform its own file locking. Under Linux the VFS provides many
of these services.
It may be possible/desirable at a latter date to entirely dump the
existing zfs range locking and rely on the Linux VFS page locks.
However, for now its safest to perform both layers of locking until
zfs is more tightly integrated with the page cache.

Issue #302
There is at most a factor of 3x performance improvement to be
had by using the Linux generic_fillattr() helper. However, to
use it safely we need to ensure the values in a cached inode
are kept rigerously up to date. Unfortunately, this isn't
the case for the blksize, blocks, and atime fields. At the
moment the authoritative values are still stored in the znode.
This patch introduces an optimized zfs_getattr_fast() call.
The idea is to use the up to date values from the inode and
the blksize, block, and atime fields from the znode. At some
latter date we should be able to strictly use the inode values
and further improve performance.
The remaining overhead in the zfs_getattr_fast() call can be
attributed to having to take the znode mutex. This overhead is
unavoidable until the inode is kept strictly up to date. The
the careful reader will notice the we do not use the customary
ZFS_ENTER()/ZFS_EXIT() macros. These macro's are designed to
ensure the filesystem is not torn down in the middle of an
operation. However, in this case the VFS is holding a
reference on the active inode so we know this is impossible.
=================== Performance Tests ========================
This test calls the fstat(2) system call 10,000,000 times on
an open file description in a tight loop. The test results
show the zfs stat(2) performance is now only 22% slower than
ext4. This is a 2.5x improvement and there is a clear long
term plan to get to parity with ext4.
filesystem | test-1 test-2 test-3 | average | times-ext4
--------------+-------------------------+---------+-----------
ext4 | 7.785s 7.899s 7.284s | 7.656s | 1.000x
zfs-0.6.0-rc4 | 24.052s 22.531s 23.857s | 23.480s | 3.066x
zfs-faststat | 9.224s 9.398s 9.485s | 9.369s | 1.223x
The second test is to run 'du' of a copy of the /usr tree
which contains 110514 files. The test is run multiple times
both using both a cold cache (/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) and
a hot cache. As expected this change signigicantly improved
the zfs hot cache performance and doesn't quite bring zfs to
parity with ext4.
A little surprisingly the zfs cold cache performance is better
than ext4. This can probably be attributed to the zfs allocation
policy of co-locating all the meta data on disk which minimizes
seek times. By default the ext4 allocator will spread the data
over the entire disk only co-locating each directory.
filesystem | cold | hot
--------------+---------+--------
ext4 | 13.318s | 1.040s
zfs-0.6.0-rc4 | 4.982s | 1.762s
zfs-faststat | 4.933s | 1.345s
Under Linux you may only disable USER xattrs. The SECURITY,
SYSTEM, and TRUSTED xattr namespaces must always be available
if xattrs are supported by the filesystem. The enforcement
of USER xattrs is performed in the zpl_xattr_user_* handlers.
Under Solaris there is only a single xattr namespace which
is managed globally.
The Linux kernel already has support for mandatory locking. This
change just replaces the Solaris mandatory locking calls with the
Linux equivilants. In fact, it looks like this code could be
removed entirely because this checking is already done generically
in the Linux VFS. However, for now we'll leave it in place even
if it is redundant just in case we missed something.
The original patch to update the code to support mandatory locking
was done by Rohan Puri. This patch is an updated version which is
compatible with the previous mount option handling changes.

The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback
in the file_system_type structure. When using the new
interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper.
Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount
down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing
implementation because we currently save this pointer in the
super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point
in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.
This needed to be done originally to allow commands like
'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me
to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under
Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a
file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However,
under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace
which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.
Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and
continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update
the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux.
This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue
for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which
have been reported.
This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back
reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount
options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'.
This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace
to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing
them on to the file system itself.
Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the
vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This
change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

Under Linux the VFS handles virtually all of the mmap() access
checks. Filesystem specific checks are left to be handled in
the .mmap() hook and normally there arn't any.
However, ZFS provides a few attributes which can influence the

to modify these attributes has not been implemented under Linux.
* ZFS_IMMUTABLE | ZFS_READONLY | ZFS_APPENDONLY: when any of these
attributes are set a file may not be mmaped with write access.
* ZFS_AV_QUARANTINED: when set a file file may not be mmaped with

Move 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk' from the stack to the heap to minimize
stack space usage. These two arrays consumed 448 bytes on the stack
and have been replaced by two 8 byte points for a total stack space
saving of 432 bytes. The zfs_setattr() path had been previously
observed to overrun the stack in certain circumstances.
In the original implementation the zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks
were dropped for simplicity. This was functional but not 100%
correct with the expected ZFS sematics. Updating and re-adding the
zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks resolves the following issues.
1) The ZFS_APPENDONLY file attribute is once again honored. While
there are still no Linux tools to set/clear these attributes once
there are it should behave correctly.
2) Minimal virus scan file attribute hooks were added. Once again
this support in disabled but the infrastructure is back in place.
3) Most importantly correctly handle assigning files which were
opened syncronously to the intent log. Without this change O_SYNC
modifications could be lost during a system crash even though they
were marked synchronous.
Filesystems like ZFS must use what the kernel calls an anonymous super
block. Basically, this is just a filesystem which is not backed by a
single block device. Normally this block device's dev_t is stored in
the super block. For anonymous super blocks a unique reserved dev_t
is assigned as part of get_sb().
This sb->s_dev must then be set in the returned stat structures as
stat->st_dev. This allows userspace utilities to easily detect the
boundries of a specific filesystem. Tools such as 'du' depend on this
for proper accounting.
Additionally, under OpenSolaris the statfs->f_fsid is set to the device
id. To preserve consistency with OpenSolaris we also set the fsid to
the device id. Other Linux filesystem (ext) set the fsid to a unique
value determined by the filesystems uuid. This value is unique but
maintains no relationship to the device id. This may be desirable
when exporting NFS filesystem because it minimizes to chance of a
client observing the same fsid from two different servers.
