Porting Notes:
This code is ported on top of the Illumos Crypto Framework code:
b5e030c8db
The list of porting changes includes:
- Copied module/icp/include/sha2/sha2.h directly from illumos
- Removed from module/icp/algs/sha2/sha2.c:
#pragma inline(SHA256Init, SHA384Init, SHA512Init)
- Added 'ctx' to lib/libzfs/libzfs_sendrecv.c:zio_checksum_SHA256() since
it now takes in an extra parameter.
- Added CTASSERT() to assert.h from for module/zfs/edonr_zfs.c
- Added skein & edonr to libicp/Makefile.am
- Added sha512.S. It was generated from sha512-x86_64.pl in Illumos.
- Updated ztest.c with new fletcher_4_*() args; used NULL for new CTX argument.
- In icp/algs/edonr/edonr_byteorder.h, Removed the #if defined(__linux) section
to not #include the non-existant endian.h.
- In skein_test.c, renane NULL to 0 in "no test vector" array entries to get
around a compiler warning.
- Fixup test files:
- Rename <sys/varargs.h> -> <varargs.h>, <strings.h> -> <string.h>,
- Remove <note.h> and define NOTE() as NOP.
- Define u_longlong_t
- Rename "#!/usr/bin/ksh" -> "#!/bin/ksh -p"
- Rename NULL to 0 in "no test vector" array entries to get around a
compiler warning.
- Remove "for isa in $($ISAINFO); do" stuff
- Add/update Makefiles
- Add some userspace headers like stdio.h/stdlib.h in places of
sys/types.h.
- EXPORT_SYMBOL *_Init/*_Update/*_Final... routines in ICP modules.
- Update scripts/zfs2zol-patch.sed
- include <sys/sha2.h> in sha2_impl.h
- Add sha2.h to include/sys/Makefile.am
- Add skein and edonr dirs to icp Makefile
- Add new checksums to zpool_get.cfg
- Move checksum switch block from zfs_secpolicy_setprop() to
zfs_check_settable()
- Fix -Wuninitialized error in edonr_byteorder.h on PPC
- Fix stack frame size errors on ARM32
- Don't unroll loops in Skein on 32-bit to save stack space
- Add memory barriers in sha2.c on 32-bit to save stack space

.TH ZPOOL-FEATURES 5 "Aug 27, 2013"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
zpool\-features \- ZFS pool feature descriptions
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
ZFS pool on\-disk format versions are specified via "features" which replace
|
|
the old on\-disk format numbers (the last supported on\-disk format number is
|
|
28). To enable a feature on a pool use the \fBupgrade\fR subcommand of the
|
|
\fBzpool\fR(8) command, or set the \fBfeature@\fR\fIfeature_name\fR property
|
|
to \fBenabled\fR.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
The pool format does not affect file system version compatibility or the ability
|
|
to send file systems between pools.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Since most features can be enabled independently of each other the on\-disk
|
|
format of the pool is specified by the set of all features marked as
|
|
\fBactive\fR on the pool. If the pool was created by another software version
|
|
this set may include unsupported features.
|
|
.SS "Identifying features"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Every feature has a guid of the form \fIcom.example:feature_name\fR. The reverse
|
|
DNS name ensures that the feature's guid is unique across all ZFS
|
|
implementations. When unsupported features are encountered on a pool they will
|
|
be identified by their guids. Refer to the documentation for the ZFS
|
|
implementation that created the pool for information about those features.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Each supported feature also has a short name. By convention a feature's short
|
|
name is the portion of its guid which follows the ':' (e.g.
|
|
\fIcom.example:feature_name\fR would have the short name \fIfeature_name\fR),
|
|
however a feature's short name may differ across ZFS implementations if
|
|
following the convention would result in name conflicts.
|
|
.SS "Feature states"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Features can be in one of three states:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ne 2
|
|
.na
|
|
\fB\fBactive\fR\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
This feature's on\-disk format changes are in effect on the pool. Support for
|
|
this feature is required to import the pool in read\-write mode. If this
|
|
feature is not read-only compatible, support is also required to import the pool
|
|
in read\-only mode (see "Read\-only compatibility").
|
|

\fB\fBenabled\fR\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
An administrator has marked this feature as enabled on the pool, but the
|
|
feature's on\-disk format changes have not been made yet. The pool can still be
|
|
imported by software that does not support this feature, but changes may be made
|
|
to the on\-disk format at any time which will move the feature to the
|
|
\fBactive\fR state. Some features may support returning to the \fBenabled\fR
|
|
state after becoming \fBactive\fR. See feature\-specific documentation for
|
|
details.

.RS 12n
|
|
This feature's on\-disk format changes have not been made and will not be made
|
|
unless an administrator moves the feature to the \fBenabled\fR state. Features
|
|
cannot be disabled once they have been enabled.
|

.RE

.LP

The state of supported features is exposed through pool properties of the form
|
|
\fIfeature@short_name\fR.
|
|
.SS "Read\-only compatibility"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Some features may make on\-disk format changes that do not interfere with other
|
|
software's ability to read from the pool. These features are referred to as
|
|
"read\-only compatible". If all unsupported features on a pool are read\-only
|
|
compatible, the pool can be imported in read\-only mode by setting the
|
|
\fBreadonly\fR property during import (see \fBzpool\fR(8) for details on
|
|
importing pools).
|
|
.SS "Unsupported features"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
For each unsupported feature enabled on an imported pool a pool property
|
|
named \fIunsupported@feature_guid\fR will indicate why the import was allowed
|
|
despite the unsupported feature. Possible values for this property are:
|
|
|
|
.sp

.ne 2

.na
|
|
\fB\fBinactive\fR\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
The feature is in the \fBenabled\fR state and therefore the pool's on\-disk
|
|
format is still compatible with software that does not support this feature.

.SS "Feature dependencies"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|

Some features depend on other features being enabled in order to function
|
|
properly. Enabling a feature will automatically enable any features it
|
|
depends on.

Destroying a file system requires traversing all of its data in order to
|
|
return its used space to the pool. Without \fBasync_destroy\fR the file system
|
|
is not fully removed until all space has been reclaimed. If the destroy
|
|
operation is interrupted by a reboot or power outage the next attempt to open
|
|
the pool will need to complete the destroy operation synchronously.
|
|
|
|
When \fBasync_destroy\fR is enabled the file system's data will be reclaimed
|
|
by a background process, allowing the destroy operation to complete without
|
|
traversing the entire file system. The background process is able to resume
|
|
interrupted destroys after the pool has been opened, eliminating the need
|
|
to finish interrupted destroys as part of the open operation. The amount
|
|
of space remaining to be reclaimed by the background process is available
|
|
through the \fBfreeing\fR property.
|
|
|
|
This feature is only \fBactive\fR while \fBfreeing\fR is non\-zero.

This feature increases the performance of creating and using a large
|
|
number of snapshots of a single filesystem or volume, and also reduces
|
|
the disk space required.
|
|
|
|
When there are many snapshots, each snapshot uses many Block Pointer
|
|
Objects (bpobj's) to track blocks associated with that snapshot.
|
|
However, in common use cases, most of these bpobj's are empty. This
|
|
feature allows us to create each bpobj on-demand, thus eliminating the
|
|
empty bpobjs.
|

This feature is \fBactive\fR while there are any filesystems, volumes,

\fBlz4\fR is a high-performance real-time compression algorithm that
|
|
features significantly faster compression and decompression as well as a
|
|
higher compression ratio than the older \fBlzjb\fR compression.
|
|
Typically, \fBlz4\fR compression is approximately 50% faster on
|
|
compressible data and 200% faster on incompressible data than
|
|
\fBlzjb\fR. It is also approximately 80% faster on decompression, while
|
|
giving approximately 10% better compression ratio.
|
|
|
|
When the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature is set to \fBenabled\fR, the
|
|
administrator can turn on \fBlz4\fR compression on any dataset on the
|
|
pool using the \fBzfs\fR(8) command. Please note that doing so will
|
|
immediately activate the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature on the underlying
|
|
pool using the \fBzfs\fR(1M) command. Also, all newly written metadata
|
|
will be compressed with \fBlz4\fR algorithm. Since this feature is not
|
|
read-only compatible, this operation will render the pool unimportable
|
|
on systems without support for the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature. Booting
|
|
off of \fBlz4\fR-compressed root pools is supported.
|
|
|
|
This feature becomes \fBactive\fR as soon as it is enabled and will
|
|
never return to being \fBenabled\fB.

This feature improves performance of incremental sends ("zfs send -i")
|
|
and receives for objects with many holes. The most common case of
|
|
hole-filled objects is zvols.
|
|
|
|
An incremental send stream from snapshot \fBA\fR to snapshot \fBB\fR
|
|
contains information about every block that changed between \fBA\fR and
|
|
\fBB\fR. Blocks which did not change between those snapshots can be
|
|
identified and omitted from the stream using a piece of metadata called
|
|
the 'block birth time', but birth times are not recorded for holes (blocks
|
|
filled only with zeroes). Since holes created after \fBA\fR cannot be
|
|
distinguished from holes created before \fBA\fR, information about every
|
|
hole in the entire filesystem or zvol is included in the send stream.
|
|
|
|
For workloads where holes are rare this is not a problem. However, when
|
|
incrementally replicating filesystems or zvols with many holes (for
|
|
example a zvol formatted with another filesystem) a lot of time will
|
|
be spent sending and receiving unnecessary information about holes that
|
|
already exist on the receiving side.
|
|
|
|
Once the \fBhole_birth\fR feature has been enabled the block birth times
|
|
of all new holes will be recorded. Incremental sends between snapshots
|
|
created after this feature is enabled will use this new metadata to avoid
|
|
sending information about holes that already exist on the receiving side.

This feature becomes \fBactive\fR as soon as it is enabled and will

never return to being \fBenabled\fB.

This feature improves the performance and compression ratio of
|
|
highly-compressible blocks. Blocks whose contents can compress to 112 bytes
|
|
or smaller can take advantage of this feature.
|
|
|
|
When this feature is enabled, the contents of highly-compressible blocks are
|
|
stored in the block "pointer" itself (a misnomer in this case, as it contains
|
|
the compressed data, rather than a pointer to its location on disk). Thus
|
|
the space of the block (one sector, typically 512 bytes or 4KB) is saved,
|
|
and no additional i/o is needed to read and write the data block.

This feature enables the use of the SHA-512/256 truncated hash algorithm
|
|
(FIPS 180-4) for checksum and dedup. The native 64-bit arithmetic of
|
|
SHA-512 provides an approximate 50% performance boost over SHA-256 on
|
|
64-bit hardware and is thus a good minimum-change replacement candidate
|
|
for systems where hash performance is important, but these systems
|
|
cannot for whatever reason utilize the faster \fBskein\fR and
|
|
\fBedonr\fR algorithms.
|
|
|
|
When the \fBsha512\fR feature is set to \fBenabled\fR, the administrator
|
|
can turn on the \fBsha512\fR checksum on any dataset using the
|
|
\fBzfs set checksum=sha512\fR(1M) command. This feature becomes
|
|
\fBactive\fR once a \fBchecksum\fR property has been set to \fBsha512\fR,
|
|
and will return to being \fBenabled\fR once all filesystems that have
|
|
ever had their checksum set to \fBsha512\fR are destroyed.
|
|
|
|
Booting off of pools utilizing SHA-512/256 is supported (provided that
|
|
the updated GRUB stage2 module is installed).

This feature enables the use of the Skein hash algorithm for checksum
|
|
and dedup. Skein is a high-performance secure hash algorithm that was a
|
|
finalist in the NIST SHA-3 competition. It provides a very high security
|
|
margin and high performance on 64-bit hardware (80% faster than
|
|
SHA-256). This implementation also utilizes the new salted checksumming
|
|
functionality in ZFS, which means that the checksum is pre-seeded with a
|
|
secret 256-bit random key (stored on the pool) before being fed the data
|
|
block to be checksummed. Thus the produced checksums are unique to a
|
|
given pool, preventing hash collision attacks on systems with dedup.
|
|
|
|
When the \fBskein\fR feature is set to \fBenabled\fR, the administrator
|
|
can turn on the \fBskein\fR checksum on any dataset using the
|
|
\fBzfs set checksum=skein\fR(1M) command. This feature becomes
|
|
\fBactive\fR once a \fBchecksum\fR property has been set to \fBskein\fR,
|
|
and will return to being \fBenabled\fR once all filesystems that have
|
|
ever had their checksum set to \fBskein\fR are destroyed.
|
|
|
|
Booting off of pools using \fBskein\fR is \fBNOT\fR supported
|
|
-- any attempt to enable \fBskein\fR on a root pool will fail with an
|
|
error.

This feature enables the use of the Edon-R hash algorithm for checksum,
|
|
including for nopwrite (if compression is also enabled, an overwrite of
|
|
a block whose checksum matches the data being written will be ignored).
|
|
In an abundance of caution, Edon-R can not be used with dedup
|
|
(without verification).
|
|
|
|
Edon-R is a very high-performance hash algorithm that was part
|
|
of the NIST SHA-3 competition. It provides extremely high hash
|
|
performance (over 350% faster than SHA-256), but was not selected
|
|
because of its unsuitability as a general purpose secure hash algorithm.
|
|
This implementation utilizes the new salted checksumming functionality
|
