Linux 3.15 commit torvalds/linux@293bc98 introduced two new methods.
The ->read_iter() and ->write_iter() methods were designed to replace
the ->aio_read() and ->aio_write() interfaces. Both interfaces were
preserved for several kernel releases in order to migrate all existing
consumers to the new interfaces. But as of Linux 4.1 the legacy
interface has been retired and the ZFS code must be updated to use
the new interfaces.

The 'capabilities' argument which was passed to bdi_setup_and_register()
has been removed. File systems should no longer pass BDI_CAP_MAP_COPY.
For our purposes this means there are now three different interfaces
which must be handled. A zpl_bdi_setup_and_register() wrapper function
has been introduced to provide a single interface to the ZPL code.
* 2.6.32 - 2.6.33, bdi_setup_and_register() is not exported.
* 2.6.34 - 3.19, bdi_setup_and_register() takes 3 arguments.
* 4.0 - x.y, bdi_setup_and_register() takes 2 arguments.
I've also taken this opportunity to remove HAVE_BDI because kernels
older then 2.6.32 are no longer supported. All kernels newer than
this will have one of the above interfaces.

Using AC_LANG_SOURCE with some versions of autoconf is problematic if
the given source is to be written to a header file. Such versions assume
the contents are to be written to conftest.c and generate shell code to
that effect. The contents of the test program to detect support for
Linux tracepoints were consequently malformed (containing the source for
conftest.h) so the build system incorrectly disabled tracepoints
support. Fix this in ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER by passing the header
source directly to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE.

Issue #2953
This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux
code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync
with Illumos.
The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of
reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding,
etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to
export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a
number of reasons:
* A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints
"automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap)
* Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled
* It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of
information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too.
Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well:
* Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed
modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported.
Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this
patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel;
exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules.
* Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux
tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules
(tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint).
Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to
loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or
newer.
Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an
example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes
(all commands run as 'root'):
# list all zfs tracepoints available
$ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs
enable filter zfs_arc__delete
zfs_arc__evict zfs_arc__hit zfs_arc__miss

For the specific tracepoint shown here, 'zfs_arc__miss', data is
exported detailing the arc_buf_hdr_t (hdr), blkptr_t (bp), and
zbookmark_t (zb) that caused the ARC miss (down to the exact DVA!).
This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable
when trying to answer certain kinds of questions.
For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS
source code along with the following three web links to be extremely
helpful:
* http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/
* http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/
I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch:
* The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to
support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the
contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is
provided, conftest.h will be empty.
* The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced.
This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro,
except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as
the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE.
These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux
tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro
API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used
internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file).
* The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This
is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint
functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code
due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without
this check, the build process will fail at link time.
In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well.
To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory
and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The
dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as
well.

GCC >+ 4.8's aggressive loop optimization breaks some of the iterators
over the dn_blkptr[] pseudo-array in dnode_phys. Since dn_blkptr[] is
defined as a single-element array, GCC believes an iterator can only
access index 0 and will unroll the loop into a single iteration.
One way to resolve the issue would be to cast the array to a pointer
and fix all the iterators that might break. The only loop where it
is known to cause a problem is this loop in dmu_objset_write_ready():
for (i = 0; i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
bp->blk_fill += dnp->dn_blkptr[i].blk_fill;
In the common case where dn_nblkptr is 3, the loop is only executed a
single time and "i" is equal to 1 following the loop.
The specific breakage caused by this problem is that the blk_fill of
root block pointers wouldn't be set properly when more than one blkptr
is in use (when no indrect blocks are needed).
The simple reproducing sequence is:
zpool create tank /tank.img
zdb -ddddd tank 0
Notice that "fill=31", however, there are two L0 indirect blocks with
"F=31" and "F=5". The fill count should be 36 rather than 31. This
problem causes an assert to be hit in a simple "zdb tank" when built
with --enable-debug.
However, this approach was not taken because we need to be absolutely
sure we catch all instances of this unwanted optimization. Therefore,
the build system has been updated to detect if GCC supports the
aggressive loop optimization. If it does the optimization will be
explicitly disabled using the -fno-aggressive-loop-optimization option.

This change adds support for Posix ACLs by storing them as an xattr
which is common practice for many Linux file systems. Since the
Posix ACL is stored as an xattr it will not overwrite any existing
ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs which may have been set. The Posix ACL will also
be non-functional on other platforms although it may be visible
as an xattr if that platform understands SA based xattrs.
By default Posix ACLs are disabled but they may be enabled with
the new 'aclmode=noacl|posixacl' property. Set the property to
'posixacl' to enable them. If ZFS/NFSv4 ACL support is ever added
an appropriate acltype will be added.
This change passes the POSIX Test Suite cleanly with the exception
of xacl/00.t test 45 which is incorrect for Linux (Ext4 fails too).

Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.
To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface. Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.
Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions. Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.
Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function. The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names. Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Issue #1591
The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the
3.0 kernel was supposed to provide a safe way to call an arbitrary
function on all super blocks of a specific type. Unfortunately,
because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.
This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself. If the
iterate_supers_type() function happened to be processing the
removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.
The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head
to an hlist_node. However, to resolve the issue for existing
3.0 - 3.2 kernels we detect when a list_head is used. Then to
prevent the spinning from occurring the .next pointer is set to
the fs_supers list_head which ensures the iterate_supers_type()
function will always terminate.

Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to
Linux 2.6.30, but we avoid the need for autotools check by
virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not
added until Linux 3.1.

To determine whether the kernel is capable of handling empty barrier
BIOs, we check for the presence of the bio_empty_barrier() macro,
which was introduced in 2.6.24. If this macro is defined, then we can
flush disk vdevs; if it isn't, then flushing is disabled.
Unfortunately, the bio_empty_barrier() macro was removed in 2.6.37,
even though the kernel is still capable of handling empty barrier BIOs.
As a result, flushing is effectively disabled on kernels >= 2.6.37,
meaning that starting from this kernel version, zfs doesn't use
barriers to guarantee on-disk data consistency. This is quite bad and
can lead to potential data corruption on power failures.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the configure check for
bio_empty_barrier(), as we don't support kernels <= 2.6.24 anymore.

It's doubtful many people were impacted by this but commit 6c28567
accidentally broke ZFS builds for 2.6.26 and earlier kernels. This
commit depends on the lookup_bdev() function which exists in 2.6.26
but wasn't exported until 2.6.27.
The availability of the function isn't critical so a wrapper is
introduced which returns ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUP) when the function isn't
defined. This will have the effect of causing zvol_is_zvol() to
always fail for 2.6.26 kernels. This in turn means vdevs will
always get opened concurrently which is good for normal usage.
This will only become an issue if your using a zvol as a vdev in
another pool. In which case you really should be using a newer
kernel anyway.

Lookups in the snapshot control directory for an existing snapshot
fail with ENOENT if an earlier lookup failed before the snapshot was

The bug can be reproduced as follows (the second ls should succeed):
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory
$ zfs snap tank@s
$ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s
ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory

Revert the portion of commit d3aa3ea which always resulted in the

The right fix is something I initially resisted doing because I
was worried about the additional overhead. However, in hindsight
the overhead isn't as bad as I feared.
This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is
unsurprisingly called when an inode is dirtied. We leverage this
callback to keep the znode SAs strictly in sync with the inode.
However, for now we're going to go slowly to avoid introducing
any new unexpected issues by only updating the atime, mtime, and
ctime. This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
it's not uncommon for disks to misreport this value. For this
reason you may still need to manually set your ashift with:

As of Linux commit 00cd8dd3bf95f2cc8435b4cac01d9995635c6d0b the
struct nameidata is no longer passed to iops->lookup. Instead
only the inamedata->flags are passed.
ZFS like almost all Linux fileystems never made use of this so
only the prototype needs to be wrapped for compatibility.

As of Linux commit 9249e17fe094d853d1ef7475dd559a2cc7e23d42 the
mount flags are now passed to sget() so they can be used when
initializing a new superblock.
ZFS never uses sget() in this fashion so we can simply pass a
zero and add a zpl_sget() compatibility wrapper.

In order to implement synchronous NFS metadata semantics ZFS
needs to provide the .commit_metadata hook. All it takes there
is to make sure changes are committed to ZIL. Fortunately
zfs_fsync() does just that, so simply calling it from
zpl_commit_metadata() does the trick.

This reverts commit 395350c85d which
accidentally introduced issue #955.
Pools using AF drives which were originally created with a sector
size of 512 bytes will now be correctly detected to have physical
sector size of 4096. This is desirable for a new pool, however for
an existing pool abruptly changing the sector size causes problems.
For this reason, this change is being reverted until the additional
logic can be added to detect the existing pool case. Existing
pools must use the ashift size stored in the label regardless of
what the disk reports. This is critical for compatibility.

Issue #955
Use the bdev_physical_block_size() interface to determine the
minimize write size which can be issued without incurring a
read-modify-write operation. This is used to set the ashift
correctly to prevent a performance penalty when using AF hard
disks.
Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
it's not uncommon for disks to misreport this value. For this
reason you may still need to manually set your ashift with:
zpool create -o ashift=12 ...
The solution to this in the upstream Illumos source was to add
a while list of known offending drives. Maintaining such a list
will be a burden, but it still may be worth doing if we can
detect a large number of these drives. This should be considered
as future work.

This commit adds support for building a zfs-modules-dkms sub package
built around Dynamic Kernel Module Support. This is to allow building
packages using the DKMS infrastructure which is intended to ease the
burden of kernel version changes, upgrades, etc.
By default zfs-modules-dkms-* sub package will be built as part of
the 'make rpm' target. Alternately, you can build only the DKMS
module package using the 'make rpm-dkms' target.
Examples:
# To build packaged binaries as well as a dkms packages
$ ./configure && make rpm
# To build only the packaged binary utilities and dkms packages
$ ./configure && make rpm-utils rpm-dkms
Note: Only the RHEL 5/6, CHAOS 5, and Fedora distributions are
supported for building the dkms sub package.

When checking for the SPL Module.symvers file, a timeout can now be
passed in which will pause the configure step while it waits for this
file to be generated. By default, the configure behavior is unchanged as
a timeout of 0 is used. If a positive number of seconds is passed,
configure will wait that number of seconds for the Module.symvers file
before moving on.
The main motivation for this change was to support parallel execution of
'./configure && make' for the SPL and ZFS packages in preparation of
supporting DKMS based packages.

Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and
alignment can be made efficiently.
In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests
efficiently: indeed, it is unable to free a part of a block. It will
write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).
With this patch, zvol block devices expose volblocksize as their discard
granularity, so the upper layer is aware that it's not supposed to send
discard requests smaller than volblocksize.

This patch adds a new autoconf function: ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL.
This new function does the following:
- Call LINUX_TRY_COMPILE with the specified parameters.
- If unsuccessful, return false.
- If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin,
return true.
- Else, call CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT with the specified parameters and
return the result.
All calls to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT are converted to
LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL so that the tests work even when configuring
for builtin on a kernel which doesn't have loadable module support, or
hasn't been built yet.

Issue #851
Currently, when building a test case, we're compiling an entire Linux
module from beginning to end. This includes the MODPOST stage, which
generates a "conftest.mod.c" file with some boilerplate module
declaration code.
This poses a problem when configuring for built-in on kernels which have
loadable module support disabled. In this case conftest.mod.c is
referencing disabled code, resulting in a compilation failure, thus
breaking the tests.
This patch fixes the issue by faking the modpost stage when the
--enable-linux-builtin option is provided. It does so by forcing the
modpost command to be /bin/true, and using an empty conftest.mod.c file.
The test module still compiles fine, although the result isn't loadable,
but we don't really care at this point.
Note it is important to preserve the modpost stage when building out of
tree. The ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BLK_END_REQUEST, ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BLK_QUEUE_FLUSH,
and ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BLK_RQ_BYTES configure checks all depend on it to
identify GPL-only symbols.

This patch adds a new option to configure: --enable-linux-builtin. When
this option is used, the following happens:
- Compilation of kernel modules is disabled.
- A failure to find UTS_RELEASE is followed by a suggestion to run
"make prepare" on the kernel source tree.
This patch also adds a new test which tries to compile an empty module
as a basic toolchain sanity test. If it fails and the option was
specified, the error is followed by a suggestion to run "make scripts"
on the kernel source tree.

The end_writeback() function was changed by moving the call to
inode_sync_wait() earlier in to evict(). This effecitvely changes
the ordering of the sync but it does not impact the details of
the zfs implementation.
However, as part of this change end_writeback() was renamed to
clear_inode() to reflect the new semantics. This change does
impact us and clear_inode() now maps to end_writeback() for
kernels prior to 3.5.

Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on
whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace
while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in
EBUSY.
This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the
module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in
vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires
jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition
device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the
BLKRRPART call.
Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion
only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still
call BLKRRPART from userspace.
This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37
and latter kernels. The build system has been updated to detect this,
but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels. This means that
online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels. However, it
will still be possible to expand the vdev offline.

torvalds/linux@adc0e91ab1 introduced
introduced d_make_root() as a replacement for d_alloc_root(). Further
commits appear to have removed d_alloc_root() from the Linux source
tree. This causes the following failure:
error: implicit declaration of function 'd_alloc_root'
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
To correct this we update the code to use the current d_make_root()
interface for readability. Then we introduce an autotools check
to determine if d_make_root() is available. If it isn't then we
define some compatibility logic which used the older d_alloc_root()
interface.
