Disable the gethostid() override for Solaris behavior because Linux systems
implement the POSIX standard in a way that allows a negative result.
Mask the gethostid() result to the lower four bytes, like coreutils does in
/usr/bin/hostid, to prevent junk bits or sign-extension on systems that have an
eight byte long type. This can cause a spurious hostid mismatch that prevents
zpool import on 64-bit systems.
Having MAXOFFSET_T defined to 0x7fffffffl was artificially limiting
the maximum file size on 32-bit systems. In reality MAXOFFSET_T is
used when working with 'long long' types and as such we now define
it as LLONG_MAX. This resolves the 2GB file size limit for files
and additionally allows zvols greater than 2GB on 32-bit systems.

Occasionally we would see an -EFAULT returned when setting the
I/O scheduler on a vdev. This was caused an improperly formatted
user mode helper command.
This commit restructures the command to something simpler, allocates
space for it dynamically to save stack, and removes the retry logic
which is no longer needed.
Closes#169
This change ensures the ARC meta-data limits are enforced. Without
this enforcement meta-data can grow to consume all of the ARC cache
pushing out data and hurting performance. The cache is aggressively
reclaimed but this is a soft and not a hard limit. The cache may
exceed the set limit briefly before being brought under control.
By default 25% of the ARC capacity can be used for meta-data. This
limit can be tuned by setting the 'zfs_arc_meta_limit' module option.
Once this limit is exceeded meta-data reclaim will occur in 3 percent
chunks, or may be tuned using 'arc_reduce_dnlc_percent'.

As part of zfs_ioc_recv() a zfs_cmd_t is allocated in the kernel
which is 17808 bytes in size. This sort of thing in general should
be avoided. However, since this should be an infrequent event for
now we allow it and simply suppress the warning with the KM_NODEBUG
flag. This can be revisited latter if/when it becomes an issue.

This change should have occured when we commited the new udev
rules for zvols. Basically, the test script is just out of date.
We need to update it to use the /dev/zvol/ device names, and
to expect the more common -partN suffixes.
I added a udev_trigger() call in zconfig_partition() and
zconfig_zvol_device_stat() to ensure that all the udev rules have
run before. This ensures the devices are available to subsequent
commands and closes a small race.
Finally, I was forced added a small 'sleep 1' to test 10. I
was observing occassional failures in my VM due to the device
still claiming to be busy. Delaying betwen the various methods
of adding/removing a vdev avoids the issue.
Closes#207
The zfault.sh and zconfig.sh test scripts requires the parted
utility, the lsscsi utility, and the scsi_debug module. To
ensure the utilities are available they have been added as
dependencies to zfs-test package. Checking for scsi_debug
is a little more problematic because if it's missing you will
need to build it. For clarity the documention has been updated
to mention this.

As of gcc-4.6 the option -Wunused-but-set-variable is enabled by
default. While this is a useful warning there are numerous places
in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an
ASSERT(). To avoid having to update every instance of this in the
code we now set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable to suppress the warning.
Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these
warning also become fatal. We can reevaluate the suppression of these
error at a later time if it becomes an issue. For now we are basically
just reverting to the previous gcc behavior.
Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy
syntax used for the autoconf tests. It is now generating warnings
for unused/undeclared variables. Newer version of gcc even have
the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default. This isn't a
problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error.
In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which
will result in a build failure latter on.
To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to
explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning.
Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we
just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are
available. Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this.
Closes#176
When compiling ZFS in user space gcc-4.6.0 correctly identifies
the variable 'value' as being set but never used. This generates a
warning and a build failure when using --enable-debug. Once again
this is correct but I'm reluctant to remove 'value' because we are
breaking the string in to name/value pairs. While it is not used
now there's a good chance it will be soon and I'd rather not have
to reinvent this. To suppress the warning with just as a VERIFY().
This was observed under Fedora 15.

When compiling ZFS in user space gcc-4.6.0 correctly identifies
the variable 'os' as being set but never used. This generates a
warning and a build failure when using --enable-debug. However,
the code is correct we only want to use 'os' for the kernel space
builds. To suppress the warning the call was wrapped with a
VERIFY() which has the nice side effect of ensuring the 'os'
actually never is NULL. This was observed under Fedora 15.

Update code to use the spl_invalidate_inodes() wrapper. This hides
some of the complexity of determining if invalidate_inodes() was
exported, and if so what is its prototype. The second argument
of spl_invalidate_inodes() determined the behavior of how dirty
inodes are handled. By passing a zero we are indicated that we
want those inodes to be treated as busy and skipped.
Several Makefile.in's were accidentally not updated when the
kernel-insert-inode-locked.m4 check was added. This change simply
refreshes the missed files.
When rebuilding the source RPM under el5 you need to append the
target_cpu. However, under el6/ch5 things are packaged correctly
and the arch is already part of kver. For this reason it also
needs to be stripped from kver when setting kverpkg.
The .sync_fs fix as applied did not use the updated SPL credential
API. This broke builds on Debian Lenny, this change applies the
needed fix to use the portable API. The original credential changes
are part of commit 81e97e2187.
Apply all of Rudd-O's changes for the Fedora init script. The
initial init script was one I threw together based on Rudd-O's
original work. It worked for me but it has some flaws.
Rudd-O has invested considerable time updating it to be significantly
smarter. It now handles using ZFS as your root filesystem plus
various other quirks. Since he is familiar with the right
way to do things on Fedora and has tested this init script we
are integrating all of his changes.

Disable the normal reclaim path for the txg_sync thread. This
ensures the thread will never enter dmu_tx_assign() which can
otherwise occur due to direct reclaim. If this is allowed to
happen the system can deadlock. Direct reclaim call path:
->shrink_icache_memory->prune_icache->dispose_list->
clear_inode->zpl_clear_inode->zfs_inactive->dmu_tx_assign
Under OpenSolaris all memory reclaim is done asyncronously. Under
Linux memory reclaim is done asynchronously _and_ synchronously.
When a process allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL it explicitly allows
the kernel to do reclaim on its behalf to satify the allocation.
If that GFP_KERNEL allocation fails the kernel may take more drastic
measures to reclaim the memory such as killing user space processes.
This was observed to happen with ZFS because the ARC could consume
a large fraction of the system memory but no synchronous reclaim
could be performed on it. The result was GFP_KERNEL allocations
could fail resulting in OOM events, and only moments latter the
arc_reclaim thread would free unused memory from the ARC.
This change leaves the arc_thread in place to manage the fundamental
ARC behavior. But it adds a synchronous (direct) reclaim path for
the ARC which can be called when memory is badly needed. It also
adds an asynchronous (indirect) reclaim path which is called
much more frequently to prune the ARC slab caches.
The following useful values were missing the arcstats. This change
adds them in to provide greater visibility in to the arcs behavior.
arc_no_grow 4 0
arc_tempreserve 4 0
arc_loaned_bytes 4 0
arc_meta_used 4 624774592
arc_meta_limit 4 400785408
arc_meta_max 4 625594176
Under Linux a dentry referencing an inode must be instantiated before
the inode is unlocked. To accomplish this without overly modifing
the core ZFS code the dentry it passed via the vattr_t. There are
cases such as replay when a dentry is not available. In which case
it is obviously not initialized at inode creation time, if a dentry
is needed it will be spliced as when required via d_lookup().
Making distclean in module
make[1]: Entering directory `/zfs/module'
make -C SUBDIRS=`pwd` clean
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** SUBDIRS=/zfs/module: No such file or directory. Stop.
When using --with-config=user the 'distclean' target would fail
because it assumes the kernel configuration infrastrure is set up.
This is not the case, nor does it need to be, because the
'--with-config=user' option will prune the entire ./module subtree
from SUBDIRS. This prevents most build rules from operating in the
./module directory.
However, the 'dist*' rules will still traverse this directory
because it is listed in DIST_SUBDIRS. This is correct because we
need to ensure the dist rules package the directory contents
regardless of the configuration for the 'dist' rule. The correct
way to handle this is to only invoke the kernel build system as
part of the 'clean' rule when CONFIG_KERNEL_TRUE is set.

This commit is a slightly refined form of the original.
Some udev hooks are not designed to be idempotent, so calling udevadm
trigger outside of the distribution's initialization scripts can have
unexpected (and potentially dangerous) side effects. For example, the
system time may change or devices may appear multiple times. See Ubuntu
launchpad bug 320200 and this mailing list post for more details:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-January/027260.html
To avoid these problems we call udevadm trigger with --action=change
--subsystem-match=block. The first argument tells udev just to refresh
devices, and make sure everything's as it should be. The second
argument limits the scope to block devices, so devices belonging to
other subsystems cannot be affected.
This doesn't fix the problem on older udev implementations that don't
provide udevadm but instead have udevtrigger as a standalone program.
In this case the above options aren't available so there's no way to
call call udevtrigger safely. But we can live with that since this
issue only exists in optional test and helper scripts, and most
zfs-on-linux users are running newer systems anyways.
The CHAOS 5 kernels are now packaged identially to the RHEL6 kernels.
Therefore we can simply use the RHEL6 rules in the spec file when
building packages.
This build failure was accidentally introduced by previous commit
bfd214a which fixed the load average. Unfortunately, the wrapper
for cv_wait_interruptible was not available in the zfs_context.h
user compatibility code. I failed to notice this because I didn't
rebuild everything cleanly before committing.

Kernel threads which sleep uninterruptibly on Linux are marked in the (D)
state. These threads are usually in the process of performing IO and are
thus counted against the load average. The txg_quiesce and txg_sync threads
were always sleeping uninterruptibly and thus inflating the load average.
This change makes them sleep interruptibly. Some care is required however
because these threads may now be woken early by signals. In this case the
callers are all careful to check that the required conditions are met after
waking up. If we're woken early due to a signal they will simply go back
to sleep. In this case these changes are safe.

The dracut change caused an error during "make rpm". The cause
is simple, RHEL5 does not recognize the %{datarootdir} macro in

The udev/rules.d scripts must use absolute paths to their support
binaries. However, where those binaries get installed depends
on what --prefix was set to when the package was configured.
This change makes the udev/rules.d helpers to *.in files which
are processed by configure. This allows them to be dynamically
updated to include the specified --prefix.
Additionally, this change updates 60-zvol.rules to handle both
the 'add' and 'change' actions. This ensures that that all
valid zvol devices are correctly linked.
