Brian Behlendorf e89260a1c8 Directory xattr znodes hold a reference on their parent
Unlike normal file or directory znodes, an xattr znode is
guaranteed to only have a single parent.  Therefore, we can
take a refernce on that parent if it is provided at create
time and cache it.  Additionally, we take care to cache it
on any subsequent zfs_zaccess() where the parent is provided
as an optimization.

This allows us to avoid needing to do a zfs_zget() when
setting up the SELinux security xattr in the create path.
This is critical because a hash lookup on the directory
will deadlock since it is locked.

The zpl_xattr_security_init() call has also been moved up
to the zpl layer to ensure TXs to create the required
xattrs are performed after the create TX.  Otherwise we
run the risk of deadlocking on the open create TX.

Ideally the security xattr should be fully constructed
before the new inode is unlocked.  However, doing so would
require far more extensive changes to ZFS.

This change may also have the benefitial side effect of
ensuring xattr directory znodes are evicted from the cache
before normal file or directory znodes due to the extra
reference.

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

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:

$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
