While module loading itself is synchronous the creation of the /dev/zfs device is not. This is because /dev/zfs is typically created by a udev rule after the module is registered and presented to user space through sysfs. This small window between module loading and device creation can result in spurious failures of libzfs_init(). This patch closes that race by extending libzfs_init() so it can detect that the modules are loaded and only if required wait for the /dev/zfs device to be created. This allows scripts to reliably use the following shell construct without the need for additional error handling. $ /sbin/modprobe zfs && /sbin/zpool import -a To minimize the potential time waiting in libzfs_init() a strategy similar to adaptive mutexes is employed. The function will busy-wait for up to 10ms based on the expectation that the modules were just loaded and therefore the /dev/zfs will be created imminently. If it takes longer than this it will fall back to polling for up to 10 seconds. This behavior can be customized to some degree by setting the following new environment variables. This functionality is provided for backwards compatibility with existing scripts which depend on the module auto-load behavior. By default module auto-loading is now disabled. * ZFS_MODULE_LOADING="YES|yes|ON|on" - Attempt to load modules. * ZFS_MODULE_TIMEOUT="<seconds>" - Seconds to wait for /dev/zfs The zfs-import-* systemd service files have been updated to call '/sbin/modprobe zfs' so they no longer rely on the legacy auto-loading behavior.
