Issue #1018
The realpath(3) function expects that when a buffer is passed
for the 'resolved_path' that it be at least PATH_MAX in length.
If it's not a buffer overflow may occur.
Therefore the passed buffer size is changed from MAXNAMELEN to
MAXPATHLEN. We also take this opertunity to dynamically allocate
the buffer to keep it off the stack.

ever they are used without checking the return value.
To handle this case we check the result VERIFY(). It's
better to detect this immediately on failure rather than
segfault farther down in the function.

The use of tempnam() is racy and it should be avoided in favor of
mkstemp(). According to the Linux tempnam(3) man page.
"Although tempnam() generates names that are difficult to guess,
it is nevertheless possible that between the time that tempnam()
returns a pathname, and the time that the program opens it, another
program might create that pathname using open(2), or create it as
a symbolic link. This can lead to security holes. To avoid such
possibilities, use the open(2) O_EXCL flag to open the pathname.
Or better yet, use mkstemp(3) or tmpfile(3)."
This issue was flagged by gcc.

To ensure ztest behaves as similarly as possible to the kernel
implementation of ZFS we attempt to honor the kernel stack limits.
This includes keeping the individual stack frame sizes under 1K
in size. We currently use gcc to detect and enforce this limit.
Therefore to get this building cleanly with full debugging enabled
the stack usage in the following functions has been reduced by
moving the buffer to the heap.

Currently, ztest expects to get 3 and 4 as the file descriptors for
data and random files, respectively. This is quite fragile and breaks
easily if ztest is run with these file descriptors already opened
(e.g. in a complex shell script).
This patch fixes the issue by removing the assumptions on the file
descriptor numbers that open() returns.
For the random file (/dev/urandom), the new code doesn't rely on a
shared file descriptor; instead, it reopens the file in the child.
For the data file, the new code writes the file descriptor number into
a "ZTEST_FD_DATA" environment variable so that it can be recovered
after the execv() call.

Currently, ztest fails with the following error:
error: Pool 'ztest' has encountered an uncorrectable I/O failure
and the failure mode property for this pool is set to panic.
We know how to fix it (see issue #939), but it may take some time

In the mean time, it is not ideal to be unable to use ztest just

Currently, in several instances (but not all), ztest generates vdev
file paths using a statement similar to this:
snprintf(path, sizeof (path), ztest_dev_template, ...);
This worked fine until 40b84e7aec, which
changed path to be a pointer to the heap instead of an array allocated
on the stack. Before this change, sizeof(path) would return the size of
the array; now, it returns the size of the pointer instead.
As a result, the aforementioned sprintf statement uses the wrong size
and truncates the vdev file path to the first 4 or 8 bytes (depending
on the architecture). Typically, with default settings, the file path
will become "/tmp/zt" instead of "/test/ztest.XXX".
This issue only exists in ztest_vdev_attach_detach() and
ztest_fault_inject(), which explains why ztest doesn't fail right away.

Issue #989
Currently, thread_create(), when called in userspace, creates a
joinable (i.e. not detached thread). This is the pthread default.
Unfortunately, this does not reproduce kthreads behavior (kthreads
are always detached). In addition, this contradicts the original
Solaris code which creates userspace threads in detached mode.
These joinable threads are never joined, which leads to a leakage of
pthread thread objects ("zombie threads"). This in turn results in
excessive ressource consumption, and possible ressource exhaustion in
extreme cases (e.g. long ztest runs).
This patch fixes the issue by creating userspace threads in detached
mode. The only exception is ztest worker threads which are meant to be
joinable.

Issue #989
The goal of this change is to make 'zpool import' prefer to use
the peristent /dev/mapper or /dev/disk/by-* paths. These are far
preferable to the devices in /dev/ whos names are not persistent
and are determined by the order in which a device is detected.
This patch improves things by changing the default search path from
just to the top level /dev/ directory to (in order):
/dev/disk/by-vdev - Custom rules, use first if they exist
/dev/disk/zpool - Custom rules, use first if they exist
/dev/mapper - Use multipath devices before components
/dev/disk/by-uuid - Single unique entry and persistent
/dev/disk/by-id - May be multiple entries and persistent
/dev/disk/by-path - Encodes physical location and persistent
/dev/disk/by-label - Custom persistent labels
/dev - UNSAFE device names will change
The default search path can be overriden by setting the
ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable. This must be a colon
delimited list of paths which are searched for vdevs. If the
'zpool import -d' option is specified only those listed paths
will be searched.
Finally, when multiple paths to the same device are found. If one
of the paths is an exact match for the path used last time to import
the pool it will be used. When there are no exact matches the
prefered path will be determined by the provided search order.
This means you can still import a pool and force specific names by
providing the -d <path> option. And the prefered names will persist
as long as those paths exist on your system.

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.

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.

vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path
in a storage topology to a channel name. The channel name is combined
with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the
physical location of the drive. This is particularly helpful when it
comes to tasks like replacing failed drives. Slot numbers may also be
re-mapped in case the default numbering is unsatisfactory. The drive
aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev.
The only currently supported topologies are sas_direct and sas_switch:
o sas_direct - a channel is uniquely identified by a PCI slot and a
HBA port
o sas_switch - a channel is uniquely identified by a SAS switch port
A multipath mode is supported in which dm-mpath devices are handled by
examining the first running component disk, as reported by 'multipath
-l'. In multipath mode the configuration file should contain a
channel definition with the same name for each path to a given
enclosure.
vdev_id can replace the existing zpool_id script on systems where the
storage topology conforms to sas_direct or sas_switch. The script
could be extended to support other topologies as well. The advantage
of vdev_id is that it is driven by a single static input file that can
be shared across multiple nodes having a common storage toplogy.
zpool_id, on the other hand, requires a unique /etc/zfs/zdev.conf per
node and a separate slot-mapping file. However, zpool_id provides the
flexibility of using any device names that show up in
/dev/disk/by-path, so it may still be needed on some systems.
vdev_id's functionality subsumes that of the sas_switch_id script, and
it is unlikely that anyone is using it, so sas_switch_id is removed.
Finally, /dev/disk/by-vdev is added to the list of directories that
'zpool import' will scan.

*) 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

a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.
We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.
Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

Currently only the (FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) flag combination is
supported, since it's the only one that matches the behavior of
zfs_space(). This makes it pretty much useless in its current
form, but it's a start.
To support other flag combinations we would need to modify
zfs_space() to make it more flexible, or emulate the desired
functionality in zpl_fallocate().

Issue #334
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.
Detailed rationale:
- max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
upper layer decide.
- max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.
- physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
slow.
- The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:
WRITE: A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
WRITE_SYNC: Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
shortly.
WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
WRITE_FUA: Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
non-volatile media on completion.
In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.
The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.
Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.
The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.
This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.
In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:
* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.
arc_add_prune_callback()
arc_remove_prune_callback()
* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.
* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.
* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.
* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.
* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

For a long time now the kernel has been moving away from using the
pdflush daemon to write 'old' dirty pages to disk. The primary reason
for this is because the pdflush daemon is single threaded and can be
a limiting factor for performance. Since pdflush sequentially walks
the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can
slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems.
The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info). The
bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each
with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback. The advantage
is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single
filesystem from slowing writeback to the others.
For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't
strictly required to implement the bdi scheme. However, as of
Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired.
Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only
an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache.
Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked
because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback.
However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi
functionality can cause problems. If an application handles a page
fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath. This will
result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in
the system drops below the dirty ratio.
Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the
dirty pages will not get written out. Thus the application will hang.
As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because
pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages.
This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t
which is already allocated per-super block. It is then registered
when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount. It will
not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only. This
change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created
and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback.

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.

Update udev helper scripts to deal with device-mapper devices created
by multipathd. These enhancements are targeted at a particular
storage network topology under evaluation at LLNL consisting of two
SAS switches providing redundant connectivity between multiple server
nodes and disk enclosures.
The key to making these systems manageable is to create shortnames for
each disk that conveys its physical location in a drawer. In a
direct-attached topology we infer a disk's enclosure from the PCI bus
number and HBA port number in the by-path name provided by udev. In a
switched topology, however, multiple drawers are accessed via a single
HBA port. We therefore resort to assigning drawer identifiers based
on which switch port a drive's enclosure is connected to. This
information is available from sysfs.
Add options to zpool_layout to generate an /etc/zfs/zdev.conf using
symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-id of the form
<label>-<UUID>-switch-port:<X>-slot:<Y>. <label> is a string that
depends on the subsystem that created the link and defaults to
"dm-uuid-mpath" (this prefix is used by multipathd). <UUID> is a
unique identifier for the disk typically obtained from the scsi_id
program, and <X> and <Y> denote the switch port and disk slot numbers,
respectively.
Add a callout script sas_switch_id for use by multipathd to help
create symlinks of the form described above. Update zpool_id and the
udev zpool rules file to handle both multipath devices and
conventional drives.
Some disks with internal sectors larger than 512 bytes (e.g., 4k) can
suffer from bad write performance when ashift is not configured
correctly. This is caused by the disk not reporting its actual sector
size, but a sector size of 512 bytes. The drive may behave this way
for compatibility reasons. For example, the WDC WD20EARS disks are
known to exhibit this behavior.
When creating a zpool, ZFS takes that wrong sector size and sets the
"ashift" property accordingly (to 9: 1<<9=512), whereas it should be
set to 12 for 4k sectors (1<<12=4096).
This patch allows an adminstrator to manual specify the known correct
ashift size at 'zpool create' time. This can significantly improve
performance in certain cases. However, it will have an impact on your
total pool capacity. See the updated ashift property description
in the zpool.8 man page for additional details.
Valid values for the ashift property range from 9 to 17 (512B-128KB).
Additionally, you may set the ashift to 0 if you wish to auto-detect
the sector size based on what the disk reports, this is the default
behavior. The most common ashift values are 9 and 12.
Example:
zpool create -o ashift=12 tank raidz2 sda sdb sdc sdd

The previous commit 8a7e1ceefa wasn't
quite right. This check applies to both the user and kernel space
build and as such we must make sure it runs regardless of what

For example, if --with-config=kernel then the autoconf test does
not run and we generate build warnings when compiling the kernel
packages.

-Wno-unused-but-set-variable. This can lead to build failures
on older Linux platforms such as Debian Lenny. Since this is

We will never bring over the pyzfs.py helper script from Solaris
to Linux. Instead the missing functionality will be directly
integrated in to the zfs commands and libraries. To avoid
confusion remove the warning about the missing pyzfs.py utility
and simply use the default internal support.
The Illumous developers are of the same mind and have proposed an
initial patch to do this which has been integrated in to the 'allow'
development branch. After some additional testing this code
can be merged in to master as the right long term solution.
The zpool_id and zpool_layout helper scripts have been updated to
use the more common /usr/bin/awk symlink. On Fedora/Redhat systems
there are both /bin/awk and /usr/bin/awk symlinks to your installed
version of awk. On Debian/Ubuntu systems only the /usr/bin/awk
symlink exists.
Additionally, add the '\<' token to the beginning of the regex
pattern to prevent partial matches. This pattern only appears to
work with gawk despite the mawk man page claiming to support this
extended regex. Thus you will need to have gawk installed to use
