The function txg_delay() is used to delay txg (transaction group)
threads in ZFS. The timeout value for this function is calculated
using:
int timeout = ddi_get_lbolt() + ticks;
Later, the actual wait is performed:
while (ddi_get_lbolt() < timeout &&
tx->tx_syncing_txg < txg-1 && !txg_stalled(dp))
(void) cv_timedwait(&tx->tx_quiesce_more_cv, &tx->tx_sync_lock,
timeout - ddi_get_lbolt());
The ddi_get_lbolt() function returns current uptime in clock ticks
and is typed as clock_t. The clock_t type on 64-bit architectures
is int64_t.
The "timeout" variable will overflow depending on the tick frequency
(e.g. for 1000 it will overflow in 28.855 days). This will make the
expression "ddi_get_lbolt() < timeout" always false - txg threads will
not be delayed anymore at all. This leads to a slowdown in ZFS writes.
The attached patch initializes timeout as clock_t to match the return
value of ddi_get_lbolt().

Issue #352
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
