Brian Behlendorf 691f6ac4c2 Use KM_PUSHPAGE instead of KM_SLEEP 
It used to be the case that all KM_SLEEP allocations were GFS_NOFS.
Unfortunately this often resulted in the kernel being unable to
reclaim the ARC, inode, and dentry caches in a timely manor.
The fix was to make KM_SLEEP a GFP_KERNEL allocation in the SPL.

However, this increases the posibility of deadlocking the system
on a zfs write thread.  If a zfs write thread attempts to perform
an allocation it may trigger synchronous reclaim.  This reclaim
may attempt to flush dirty data/inode to disk to free memory.
Unforunately, this write cannot finish because the write thread
which would handle it is holding the previous transaction open.
Deadlock.

To avoid this all allocations in the zfs write thread path must
use KM_PUSHPAGE which prohibits synchronous reclaim for that
thread.  In this way forward progress in ensured.  The risk
with this change is I missed updating an allocation for the
write threads leaving an increased posibility of deadlock.  If
any deadlocks remain they will be unlikely but we'll have to
make sure they all get fixed.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

$ ./configure
$ make pkg
