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.
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.
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().
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.
Closes#175
The .freeze_fs/.unfreeze_fs hooks were not added until Linux 2.6.29
Since these hooks are currently unused they are being removed to
allow support of older kernels.
As of Linux 2.6.29 a clean credential API was added to the Linux kernel.
Previously the credential was embedded in the task_struct. Because the
SPL already has considerable support for handling this API change the
ZPL code has been updated to use the Solaris credential API.
Now that KM_SLEEP is not defined as GFP_NOFS there is the possibility
of synchronous reclaim deadlocks. These deadlocks never existed in the
original OpenSolaris code because all memory reclaim on Solaris is done
asyncronously. Linux does both synchronous (direct) and asynchronous
(indirect) reclaim.
This commit addresses a deadlock caused by inode eviction. A KM_SLEEP
allocation may trigger direct memory reclaim and shrink the inode cache.
This can occur while a mutex in the array of ZFS_OBJ_HOLD mutexes is
held. Through the ->shrink_icache_memory()->evict()->zfs_inactive()->
zfs_zinactive() call path the same mutex may be reacquired resulting
in a deadlock. To avoid this deadlock the process must not reacquire
the mutex when it is already holding it.
This is a reasonable fix for now but longer term the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD
mutex locking should be reevaluated. This infrastructure already
prevents us from ever using the Linux lock dependency analysis tools,
and it may limit scalability.
It used to be the case that all KM_SLEEP allocations were GFS_NOFS.
Unfortunately this often resulted in the kernel being unable to
reclaim the ARC, inode, and dentry caches in a timely manor.
The fix was to make KM_SLEEP a GFP_KERNEL allocation in the SPL.
However, this increases the posibility of deadlocking the system
on a zfs write thread. If a zfs write thread attempts to perform
an allocation it may trigger synchronous reclaim. This reclaim
may attempt to flush dirty data/inode to disk to free memory.
Unforunately, this write cannot finish because the write thread
which would handle it is holding the previous transaction open.
Deadlock.
To avoid this all allocations in the zfs write thread path must
use KM_PUSHPAGE which prohibits synchronous reclaim for that
thread. In this way forward progress in ensured. The risk
with this change is I missed updating an allocation for the
write threads leaving an increased posibility of deadlock. If
any deadlocks remain they will be unlikely but we'll have to
make sure they all get fixed.
Register the missing .remount_fs handler. This handler isn't strictly
required because the VFS does a pretty good job updating most of the
MS_* flags. However, there's no harm in using the hook to call the
registered zpl callback for various MS_* flags. Additionaly, this
allows us to lay the ground work for more complicated argument parsing
in the future.
Register the missing .sync_fs handler. This is a noop in most cases
because the usual requirement is that sync just be initiated. As part
of the DMU's normal transaction processing txgs will be frequently
synced. However, when the 'wait' flag is set the requirement is that
.sync_fs must not return until the data is safe on disk. With the
addition of the .sync_fs handler this is now properly implemented.
ZFS should only change the i/o scheduler for a disk when it has
ownership of the whole disk. This is basically the same logic as
adjusting the write cache behavior on a disk. This change updates
the vdev disk code to skip partitions when setting the i/o scheduler.
Closes#152
Due to an uninitialized variable files opened with O_APPEND may
overwrite the start of the file rather than append to it. This
was introduced accidentally when I removed the Solaris vnodes.
The zfs_range_lock_writer() function used to key off zf->z_vnode
to determine if a znode_t was for a zvol of zpl object. With
the removal of vnodes this was replaced by the flag zp->z_is_zvol.
This flag was used to control the append behavior for range locks.
Unfortunately, this value was never properly initialized after
the vnode removal. However, because most of memory is usually
zeros it happened to be set correctly most of the time making
the bug appear racy. Properly initializing zp->z_is_zvol to
zero completely resolves the problem with O_APPEND.
Closes#126
Move 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk' from the stack to the heap to minimize
stack space usage. These two arrays consumed 448 bytes on the stack
and have been replaced by two 8 byte points for a total stack space
saving of 432 bytes. The zfs_setattr() path had been previously
observed to overrun the stack in certain circumstances.
The original range lock implementation had to be modified by commit
8926ab7 because it was unsafe on Linux. In particular, calling
cv_destroy() immediately after cv_broadcast() is dangerous because
the waiters may still be asleep. Thus the following cv_destroy()
will free memory which may still be in use.
This was fixed by updating cv_destroy() to block on waiters but
this in turn introduced a deadlock. The deadlock was resolved
with the use of a taskq to move the offending free outside the
range lock. This worked well but using the taskq for the free
resulted in a serious performace hit. This is somewhat ironic
because at the time I felt using the taskq might improve things
by making the free asynchronous.
This patch refines the original fix and moves the free from the
taskq to a private free list. Then items which must be free'd
are simply inserted in to the list. When the range lock is dropped
it's safe to free the items. The list is walked and all rl_t
entries are freed.
This change improves small cached read performance by 26x. This
was expected because for small reads the number of locking calls
goes up significantly. More surprisingly this change significantly
improves large cache read performance. This probably attributable
to better cpu/memory locality. Very likely the same processor
which allocated the memory is now freeing it.

In the original implementation the zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks
were dropped for simplicity. This was functional but not 100%
correct with the expected ZFS sematics. Updating and re-adding the
zfs_open()/zfs_close() hooks resolves the following issues.
1) The ZFS_APPENDONLY file attribute is once again honored. While
there are still no Linux tools to set/clear these attributes once
there are it should behave correctly.
2) Minimal virus scan file attribute hooks were added. Once again
this support in disabled but the infrastructure is back in place.
3) Most importantly correctly handle assigning files which were
opened syncronously to the intent log. Without this change O_SYNC
modifications could be lost during a system crash even though they
were marked synchronous.
Filesystems like ZFS must use what the kernel calls an anonymous super
block. Basically, this is just a filesystem which is not backed by a
single block device. Normally this block device's dev_t is stored in
the super block. For anonymous super blocks a unique reserved dev_t
is assigned as part of get_sb().
This sb->s_dev must then be set in the returned stat structures as
stat->st_dev. This allows userspace utilities to easily detect the
boundries of a specific filesystem. Tools such as 'du' depend on this
for proper accounting.
Additionally, under OpenSolaris the statfs->f_fsid is set to the device
id. To preserve consistency with OpenSolaris we also set the fsid to
the device id. Other Linux filesystem (ext) set the fsid to a unique
value determined by the filesystems uuid. This value is unique but
maintains no relationship to the device id. This may be desirable
when exporting NFS filesystem because it minimizes to chance of a
client observing the same fsid from two different servers.
Closes#140
The AT_ versions of these macros are used on Solaris and while they
map to their Linux equivilants the code has been updated to use the
ATTR_ versions.
Move 'tmpxvattr' from the stack to the heap to minimize stack
space usage. This is enough to get us below the 1024 byte stack
frame warning. That however is still a large stack frame and it
should be further reduced by moving the 'bulk' and 'xattr_bulk'
sa_bulk_attr_t variables to the heap in a future patch.
When I began work on the Posix layer it immediately became clear to
me that to integrate cleanly with the Linux VFS certain Solaris
specific things would have to go. One of these things was to elimate
as many Solaris specific types from the ZPL layer as possible. They
would be replaced with their Linux equivalents. This would not only
be good for performance, but for the general readability and health of
the code. The Solaris and Linux VFS are different beasts and should
be treated as such. Most of the code remains common for constructing
transactions and such, but there are subtle and important differenced
which need to be repsected.
This policy went quite for for certain types such as the vnode_t,
and it initially seemed to be working out well for the vattr_t. There
was a relatively small amount of related xvattr_t code I was forced to
comment out with HAVE_XVATTR. But it didn't look that hard to come
back soon and replace it all with a native Linux type.
However, after going doing this path with xvattr some distance it
clear that this code was woven in the ZPL more deeply than I thought.
In particular its hooks went very deep in to the ZPL replay code
and replacing it would not be as easy as I originally thought.
Rather than continue persuing replacing and removing this code I've
taken a step back and reevaluted things. This commit reverts many of
my previous commits which removed xvattr related code. It restores
much of the code to its original upstream state and now relies on
improved xvattr_t support in the zfs package itself.
The result of this is that much of the code which I had commented
out, which accidentally broke things like replay, is now back in
place and working. However, there may be a small performance
impact for getattr/setattr operations because they now require
a translation from native Linux to Solaris types. For now that's
a price I'm willing to pay. Once everything is completely functional
we can revisting the issue of removing the vattr_t/xvattr_t types.
Closes#111
Print the supported zpool and filesystem versions at module load

There were two cases when attempting to set the vdev block device
scheduler which would causes console warnings.
The first case was when the vdev used a loop, ram, dm, or other
such device which doesn't support a configurable scheduler. In
these cases attempting to set a scheduler is pointless and can
be safely skipped.
The secord case is slightly more troubling. We were seeing
transient cases where setting the elevator would return -EFAULT.
On retry everything is fine so there appears to be a small window
where this is possible. To handle that case we silently retry
up to three times before reporting the warning.
In all of the above cases the warning is harmless and at worse you
may see slightly different performance characteristics from one
or more of your vdevs.
This commit allows zvols with names longer than 32 characters, which
fixes issue on https://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/issues/#issue/102.
Changes include:
- use /dev/zd* device names for zvol, where * is the device minor
(include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c).
- add BLKZNAME ioctl to get dataset name from userland
(include/sys/fs/zfs.h, module/zfs/zvol.c, cmd/zvol_id).
- add udev rule to create /dev/zvol/[dataset_name] and the legacy
/dev/[dataset_name] symlink. For partitions on zvol, it will create
/dev/zvol/[dataset_name]-part* (etc/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules,
cmd/zvol_id).

Remove custom code to pack/unpack dev_t's. Under Linux all dev_t's
are an unsigned 32-bit value even on 64-bit platforms. The lower
20 bits are used for the minor number and the upper 12 for the major
number.
This means if your importing a pool from Solaris you may get strange
major/minor numbers. But it doesn't really matter because even if
we add compatibility code to translate the encoded Solaris major/minor
they won't do you any good under Linux. You will still need to
recreate the dev_t with a major/minor which maps to reserved major
numbers used under Linux.
Dropping this code also resolves 32-bit builds by removing the
offending 32-bit compatibility code.
ASSERT3P should be used instead of ASSERT3U when comparing
pointers. Using ASSERT3U with the cast causes a compiler
warning for 32-bit builds which is fatal with --enable-debug.
The underlying storage pool actually uses multiple block
size. Under Solaris frsize (fragment size) is reported as
the smallest block size we support, and bsize (block size)
as the filesystem's maximum block size. Unfortunately,
under Linux the fragment size and block size are often used
interchangeably. Thus we are forced to report both of them
as the filesystem's maximum block size.
Closes#112
Because the secpolicy_* macros are all currently defined to (0).
And because the caller of this function does not check the return
code. The compiler complains that this statement has no effect
which is correct and OK. To suppress the warning explictly cast
the result to (void).
Generally it's a good idea to use enums for switch statements,
but in this case it causes warning because the enum is really a
set of flags. These flags are OR'ed together in some cases
resulting in values which are not part of the original enum.
This causes compiler warning such as this about invalid cases.
error: case value ‘33’ not in enumerated type ‘zprop_source_t’
To handle this we simply case the enum to an int for the switch
statement. This leaves all other enum type checking in place
and effectively disabled these warnings.
For legacy reasons the zvol.c and vdev_disk.c Linux compatibility
code ended up in sys/blkdev.h and sys/vdev_disk.h headers. While
there are worse places for this code to live it should be in a
linux/blkdev_compat.h header. This change moves this block device
Linux compatibility code in to the linux/blkdev_compat.h header
and updates all the correct #include locations. This is not a
functional change or bug fix, it is just code cleanup.
When changing the uid/gid of a file via zfs_setattr() use the
Posix id passed in iattr->ia_uid/gid. While the zfs_fuid_create()
code already had the fuid support disabled for Linux it was
returning the uid/gid from the credential. With this change
the 'chown' command which relies on setxattr is now working
properly.
Also remove a little stray white space which was in front of
zfs_update_inode() call and the end of zfs_setattr().
Under Linux sys_symlink(2) should result in a inode being created
with one reference for the inode itself, and a second reference on
the inode which is held by the new dentry. Under Solaris this
appears not to be the case. Their zfs_symlink() handler drops
the inode reference before returning.
The result of this under Linux is that the reference count for
symlinks is always one smaller than it should have been. This
results in a BUG() when the symlink is unlinked. To handle this
the Linux port now keeps the inode reference which differs from
the Solaris behavior. This results in correct reference counts.
Closes#96
The zfs_readlink() function returns a Solaris positive error value
and that needs to be converted to a Linux negative error value.
While in this case nothing would actually go wrong, it's still
incorrect and should be fixed if for no other reason than clarity.
This patch addresses three issues related to symlinks.
1) Revert the zfs_follow_link() function to a modified version
of the original zfs_readlink(). The only changes from the
original OpenSolaris version relate to using Linux types.
For the moment this means no vnode's and no zfsvfs_t. The
caller zpl_follow_link() was also updated accordingly. This
change was reverted because it was slightly gratuitious.
2) Update zpl_follow_link() to use local variables for the
link buffer. I'd forgotten that iov.iov_base is updated by
uiomove() so after the call to zfs_readlink() it can not longer
be used. We need our own private copy of the link pointer.
3) Allocate MAXPATHLEN instead of MAXPATHLEN+1. By default
MAXPATHLEN is 4096 bytes which is a full page, adding one to
it pushes it slightly over a page. That means you'll likely
end up allocating 2 pages which is wasteful of memory and
possibly slightly slower.
This adds an API to wait for pending commit callbacks of already-synced
transactions to finish processing. This is needed by the DMU-OSD in
Lustre during device finalization when some callbacks may still not be
called, this leads to non-zero reference count errors. See lustre.org
bug 23931.
While the attr/xattr hooks were already in place for regular
files this hooks can also apply to directories and special files.
While they aren't typically used in this way, it should be
supported. This patch registers these additional callbacks
for both directory and special inode types.
Under Linux when creating a fifo or socket type device in the ZFS
filesystem it's critical that the rdev is stored in a SA. This
was already being correctly done for character and block devices,
but that logic needed to be extended to include FIFOs and sockets.
This patch takes care of device creation but a follow on patch
may still be required to verify that the dev_t is being correctly
packed/unpacked from the SA.
It was noticed that when you have zvols in multiple datasets
not all of the zvol devices are created at module load time.
Fajarnugraha did the leg work to identify that the root cause of
this bug is a non-zero return value from zvol_create_minors_cb().
Returning a non-zero value from the dmu_objset_find_spa() callback
function results in aborting processing the remaining children in
a dataset. Since we want to ensure that the callback in run on
all children regardless of error simply unconditionally return
zero from the zvol_create_minors_cb(). This callback function
is solely used for this purpose so surpressing the error is safe.
Closes#96
The new prefered inteface for evicting an inode from the inode cache
is the ->evict_inode() callback. It replaces both the ->delete_inode()
and ->clear_inode() callbacks which were previously used for this.
The xattr handler prototypes were sanitized with the idea being that
the same handlers could be used for multiple methods. The result of
this was the inode type was changes to a dentry, and both the get()
and set() hooks had a handler_flags argument added. The list()
callback was similiarly effected but no autoconf check was added
because we do not use the list() callback.
The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take
3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the
dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To
handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right
prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument
either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.
Initial testing has shown the the right IO scheduler to use under Linux
is noop. This strikes the ideal balance by allowing the zfs elevator
to do all request ordering and prioritization. While allowing the
Linux elevator to do the maximum front/back merging allowed by the
physical device. This yields the largest possible requests for the
device with the lowest total overhead.
While 'noop' should be right for your system you can choose a different
IO scheduler with the 'zfs_vdev_scheduler' option. You may set this
value to any of the standard Linux schedulers: noop, cfq, deadline,
anticipatory. In addition, if you choose 'none' zfs will not attempt
to change the IO scheduler for the block device.
The following warning was observed under normal operation. It's
not fatal but it's something to be addressed long term. Flag the
offending allocation with KM_NODEBUG to suppress the warning and
flag the call site.

When performing a 'zfs rollback' it's critical to invalidate
the previous dcache and inode cache. If we don't there will
stale cache entries which when accessed will result in EIOs.
With the recent SPL change (d599e4fa) that forces cv_destroy()
to block until all waiters have been woken. It is now unsafe
to call cv_destroy() under the zp->z_range_lock() because it
is used as the condition variable mutex. If there are waiters
cv_destroy() will block until they wake up and aquire the mutex.
However, they will never aquire the mutex because cv_destroy()
will not return allowing it's caller to drop the lock. Deadlock.
To avoid this cv_destroy() is now run asynchronously in a taskq.
This solves two problems:
1) It is no longer run under the zp->z_range_lock so no deadlock.
2) Since cv_destroy() may now block we don't want this slowing
down zfs_range_unlock() and throttling the system.
This was not as much of an issue under OpenSolaris because their
cv_destroy() implementation does not do anything. They do however
risk a bad paging request if cv_destroy() returns, the memory holding
the condition variable is free'd, and then the waiters wake up and
try to reference it. It's a very small unlikely race, but it is
possible.
It's worth taking a moment to describe how mmap is implemented
for zfs because it differs considerably from other Linux filesystems.
However, this issue is handled the same way under OpenSolaris.
The issue is that by design zfs bypasses the Linux page cache and
leaves all caching up to the ARC. This has been shown to work
well for the common read(2)/write(2) case. However, mmap(2)
is problem because it relies on being tightly integrated with the
page cache. To handle this we cache mmap'ed files twice, once in
the ARC and a second time in the page cache. The code is careful
to keep both copies synchronized.
When a file with an mmap'ed region is written to using write(2)
both the data in the ARC and existing pages in the page cache
are updated. For a read(2) data will be read first from the page
cache then the ARC if needed. Neither a write(2) or read(2) will
will ever result in new pages being added to the page cache.
New pages are added to the page cache only via .readpage() which
is called when the vfs needs to read a page off disk to back the
virtual memory region. These pages may be modified without
notifying the ARC and will be written out periodically via
.writepage(). This will occur due to either a sync or the usual
page aging behavior. Note because a read(2) of a mmap'ed file
will always check the page cache first even when the ARC is out
of date correct data will still be returned.
While this implementation ensures correct behavior it does have
have some drawbacks. The most obvious of which is that it
increases the required memory footprint when access mmap'ed
files. It also adds additional complexity to the code keeping
both caches synchronized.
Longer term it may be possible to cleanly resolve this wart by
mapping page cache pages directly on to the ARC buffers. The
Linux address space operations are flexible enough to allow
selection of which pages back a particular index. The trick
would be working out the details of which subsystem is in
charge, the ARC, the page cache, or both. It may also prove
helpful to move the ARC buffers to a scatter-gather lists
rather than a vmalloc'ed region.
Additionally, zfs_write/read_common() were used in the readpage
and writepage hooks because it was fairly easy. However, it
would be better to update zfs_fillpage and zfs_putapage to be
Linux friendly and use them instead.

file zpl_inode.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.
The Linux specific file operations have all been located in the
file zpl_file.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked
zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for
converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative
Linux errors.
This first zpl_* commit also includes a common zpl.h header with
minimal entries to register the Linux specific hooks. In also
adds all the new zpl_* file to the Makefile.in. This is not a
standalone commit, you required the following zpl_* commits.
For the moment exactly how to handle xvattr is not clear. This
change largely consists of the code to comment out the offending
bits until something reasonable can be done.
A new flag is required for the zfs_rlock code to determine if
it is operation of the zvol of zpl dataset. This used to be
keyed off the zp->z_vnode, which was a hack to begin with, but
with the removal of vnodes we needed a dedicated flag.
I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit.
When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing
that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure
there's much merrit in it. As such I'll just summerize the intent
of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit. Broadly
the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible
and replace it with native Linux equivilants. More specifically:
1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t. While the
type is largely the same calling it private super block data
rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names
this. While non critical it makes the code easier to read when
your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms.
2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode. The Linux VFS doesn't have
the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to
create one. There are in fact several good reasons to remove it.
It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it
conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's
a good change it will be out of date. The code has been updated
to remove all need for this type.
3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types. Along with this shift
all uses of types to mode bits. The Solaris code would pass a
vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode. Just update all the
code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy.
4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with
inode helpers. The big example here is creating iput_aync to
replace vn_rele_async. Other vn helpers will be addressed as
needed but they should be be emulated. They are a Solaris VFS'ism
and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants.
5) Update znode alloc/free code. Under Linux it's common to
embed the inode specific data with the inode itself. This removes
the need for an extra memory allocation. In zfs this information
is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it. Allocators
have been updated accordingly.
6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the
super block and handling mount options has been added this
code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there.
This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.
For the moment we do not use dmu_write_pages() to write pages
directly in to a dmu object. It may be required at some point
in the future, but for now is simplest and cleanest to drop it.
It can be easily readded if/when needed.
For portability reasons it's handy to be able to create a root
znode and basic filesystem components without requiring the full
cooperation of the VFS. We are committing to this to simply the
filesystem creations code.
This code is used for snapshot and heavily leverages Solaris
functionality we do not want to reimplement. These files have
been removed, including references to them, and will be replaced
by a zfs_snap.c/zpl_snap.c implementation which handles snapshots.
Minor update to ensure zfs_sync() is disabled if a kernel oops/panic
is triggered. As the comment says 'data integrity is job one'. This
change could have been done by defining panicstr to oops_in_progress
in the SPL. But I felt it was better to use the native Linux API
here since to be clear.
This flag does not need to be support under Linux. As the comment
says it was only there to support fsflush() for old filesystem like
UFS. This is not needed under Linux.
Mount option parsing is still very Linux specific and will be
handled above this zfs filesystem layer. Honoring those mount
options once set if of course the responsibility of the lower
layers.
This variable was used to ensure that the ZFS module is never
removed while the filesystem is mounted. Once again the generic
Linux VFS handles this case for us so it can be removed.
The functions zfs_mount_label_policy(), zfs_mountroot(), zfs_mount()
will not be needed because most of what they do is already handled
by the generic Linux VFS layer. They all call zfs_domount() which
creates the actual dataset, the caller of this library call which
will be in the zpl layer is responsible for what's left.
Under Linux we don't need to reserve a major or minor number for
the filesystem. We can rely on the VFS to handle colisions without
this being handled by the lower ZFS layers.
Additionally, there is no need to keep a zfsfstype around. We are
not limited on Linux by the OpenSolaris infrastructure which needed
this. The upper zpl layer can specify the filesystem type.
The ZFS code is being restructured to act as a library and a stand
alone module. This allows us to leverage most of the existing code
with minimal modification. It also means we need to drop the Solaris
vfs/vnode functions they will be replaced by Linux equivilants and
updated to be Linux friendly.
For the moment we have left ZFS unchanged and it updates many values
as part of the znode. However, some of these values should be set
in the inode. For the moment this is handled by adding a function
called zfs_inode_update() which updates the inode based on the znode.
This is considered a workaround until we can systematically go
through the ZFS code and have it directly update the inode. At
which point zfs_update_inode() can be dropped entirely. Keeping
two copies of the same data isn't only inefficient it's a breeding
ground for bugs.
Under Linux the convention for filesystem specific data structure is
to embed it along with the generic vfs data structure. This differs
significantly from Solaris.
Since we want to integrates as cleanly with the Linux VFS as possible.
This changes modifies zfs_znode_alloc() to allocate a znode with an
embedded inode for use with the generic VFS. This is done by calling
iget_locked() which will allocate a new inode if needed by calling
sb->alloc_inode(). This function allocates enough memory for a
znode_t by returns a pointer to the inode structure for Linux's VFS.
This function is also responsible for setting the callback
znode->z_set_ops_inodes() which is used to register the correct
handlers for the inode.
Basic compilation of the bulk of zfs_znode.c has been enabled. After
much consideration it was decided to convert the existing vnode based
interfaces to more friendly Linux interfaces. The following commits
will systematically replace update the requiter interfaces. There
are of course pros and cons to this decision.
Pros:
* This simplifies intergration with Linux in the long term. There is
no longer any need to manage vnodes which are a foreign concept to
the Linux VFS.
* Improved long term maintainability.
* Minor performance improvements by removing vnode overhead.
Cons:
* Added work in the short term to modify multiple ZFS interfaces.
* Harder to pull in changes if we ever see any new code from Solaris.
* Mixed Solaris and Linux interfaces in some ZFS code.
The zfs acl code makes use of the two OpenSolaris helper functions
acl_trivial_access_masks() and ace_trivial_common(). Since they are
only called from zfs_acl.c I've brought them over from OpenSolaris
and added them as static function to this file. This way I don't
need to reimplement this functionality from scratch in the SPL.
Long term once I take a more careful look at the acl implementation
it may be the case that these functions really aren't needed. If
that turns out to be the case they can then be removed.
Remove unneeded bootfs functions. This support shouldn't be required
for the Linux port, and even if it is it would need to be reworked
to integrate cleanly with Linux.
Certain NFS/SMB share functionality is not yet in place. These
functions used to be wrapped with the generic HAVE_ZPL to prevent
them from being compiled. I still don't want them compiled but
I'm working toward eliminating the use of HAVE_ZPL. So I'm just
renaming the wrapper here to HAVE_SHARE. They still won't be
compiled until all the share issues are worked through. Share
support is the last missing piece from zfs_ioctl.c.
The zfs_check_global_label() function is part of the HAVE_MLSLABEL
support which was previously commented out by a HAVE_ZPL check.
Since we're still deciding what to do about mls labels wrap it
with the preexisting macro to keep it compiled out.
Unlike Solaris the Linux implementation embeds the inode in the
znode, and has no use for a vnode. So while it's true that fragmention
of the znode cache may occur it should not be worse than any of the
other Linux FS inode caches. Until proven that this is a problem it's
just added complexity we don't need.
These functions were dropped originally because I felt they would
need to be rewritten anyway to avoid using uios. However, this
patch readds then with they dea they can just be reworked and
the uio bits dropped.
During a rename we need to be careful to destroy and create a
new minor for the ZVOL _only_ if the rename succeeded. The previous
code would both destroy you minor device unconditionally, it would
also fail to create the new minor device on success.
These compiler warnings were introduced when code which was
previously #ifdef'ed out by HAVE_ZPL was re-added for use
by the posix layer. All of the following changes should be
obviously correct and will cause no semantic changes.
The issue is that cv_timedwait() sleeps uninterruptibly to block signals
and avoid waking up early. Under Linux this counts against the load
average keeping it artificially high. This change allows the arc to
sleep interruptibly which mean it may be woken up early due to a signal.
Normally this means some extra care must be taken to handle a potential
signal. But for the arcs usage of cv_timedwait() there is no harm in
waking up before the timeout expires so no extra handling is required.
This commit fixes a sign extension bug affecting l2arc devices. Extremely
large offsets may be passed down to the low level block device driver on
reads, generating errors similar to
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdbi1: rw=14, want=36028797014862705, limit=125026959
The unwanted sign extension occurrs because the function arc_read_nolock()
stores the offset as a daddr_t, a 32-bit signed int type in the Linux kernel.
This offset is then passed to zio_read_phys() as a uint64_t argument, causing
sign extension for values of 0x80000000 or greater. To avoid this, we store
the offset in a uint64_t.
This change also changes a few daddr_t struct members to uint64_t in the libspl
headers to avoid similar bugs cropping up in the future. We also add an ASSERT
to __vdev_disk_physio() to check for invalid offsets.

The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*
and REQ_* flags. The new flag is called REQ_SYNC. To simplify
checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function. Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.
Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio:
2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO
2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC
Commit 3ee56c292b changed an ENOTSUP return value
in one location to ENOTSUPP to fix user programs seeing an invalid ioctl()
error code. However, use of ENOTSUP is widespread in the zfs module. Instead
of changing all of those uses, we fixed the ENOTSUP definition in the SPL to be
consistent with user space. The changed return value in the above commit is
therefore no longer needed, so this commit reverses it to maintain consistency.

Support for rolling back datasets require a functional ZPL, which we currently
do not have. The zfs command does not check for ZPL support before attempting
a rollback, and in preparation for rolling back a zvol it removes the minor
node of the device. To prevent the zvol device node from disappearing after a
failed rollback operation, this change wraps the zfs_do_rollback() function in
an #ifdef HAVE_ZPL and returns ENOSYS in the absence of a ZPL. This is
consistent with the behavior of other ZPL dependent commands such as mount.
The orginal error message observed with this bug was rather confusing:
internal error: Unknown error 524
Aborted
This was because zfs_ioc_rollback() returns ENOTSUP if we don't HAVE_ZPL, but
Linux actually has no such error code. It should instead return EOPNOTSUPP, as
that is how ENOTSUP is defined in user space. With that we would have gotten
the somewhat more helpful message
cannot rollback 'tank/fish': unsupported version
This is rather a moot point with the above changes since we will no longer make
that ioctl call without a ZPL. But, this change updates the error code just in
case.

Increasing the default zio_wr_int thread count from 8 to 16 improves
write performence by 13% on large systems. More testing need to be
done but I suspect the ideal tuning here is ZTI_BATCH() with a minimum
of 8 threads.
Linux kernel thread names are expected to be short. This change shortens
the zio thread names to 10 characters leaving a few chracters to append
the /<cpuid> to which the thread is bound. For example: z_wr_iss/0.
On some older kernels, i.e. 2.6.18, zvol_ioctl_by_inode() may get passed a NULL
file pointer if the user tries to mount a zvol without a filesystem on it.
This change adds checks to prevent a null pointer dereference.

It turns out that 'zpool events' over 1024 bytes in size where being
silently dropped. This was discovered while writing the zfault.sh
tests to validate common failure modes.
This could occur because the zfs interface for passing an arbitrary
size nvlist_t over an ioctl() is to provide a buffer for the packed
nvlist which is usually big enough. In this case 1024 byte is the
default. If the kernel determines the buffer is to small it returns
ENOMEM and the minimum required size of the nvlist_t. This was
working properly but in the case of 'zpool events' the event stream
was advanced dispite the error. Thus the retry with the bigger
buffer would succeed but it would skip over the previous event.
The fix is to pass this size to zfs_zevent_next() and determine
before removing the event from the list if it will fit. This was
preferable to checking after the event was returned because this
avoids the need to rewind the stream.
While there is no right maximum timeout for a disk IO we can start
laying the ground work to measure how long they do take in practice.
This change simply measures the IO time and if it exceeds 30s an
event is posted for 'zpool events'.
This value was carefully selected because for sd devices it implies
that at least one timeout (SD_TIMEOUT) has occured. Unfortunately,
even with FAILFAST set we may retry and request and not get an
error. This behavior is strongly dependant on the device driver
and how it is hooked in to the scsi error handling stack. However
by setting the limit at 30s we can log the event even if no error
was returned.
Slightly longer term we can start recording these delays perhaps
as a simple power-of-two histrogram. This histogram can then be
reported as part of the 'zpool status' command when given an command
line option.
None of this code changes the internal behavior of ZFS. Currently
it is simply for reporting excessively long delays.
ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device
failure occurs. This allows it to immediately start any recovery
actions which may be needed. In theory Linux supports a flag which
can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick
notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers.
That's the theory at least. In practice is turns out that while the
flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag.
And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level
drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the
right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer.
Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much
which can be done to improve this. Basically, this just means that
it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a
device has failed. This can be improved and I suspect I'll be
submitting patches upstream to handle this.
By default the Solaris code does not log speculative or soft io errors
in either 'zpool status' or post an event. Under Linux we don't want
to change the expected behavior of 'zpool status' so these io errors
are still suppressed there.
However, since we do need to know about these events for Linux FMA and
the 'zpool events' interface is new we do post the events. With the
addition of the zio_flags field the posted events now contain enough
information that a user space consumer can identify and discard these
events if it sees fit.
All the upper layers of zfs expect zio->io_error to be positive. I was
careful but I missed one instance in vdev_disk_physio_completion() which
could return a negative error. To ensure all cases are always caught I
had additionally added an ASSERT() to check this before zio_interpret().
Finally, as a debugging aid when zfs is build with --enable-debug all
errors from the backing block devices will be reported to the console
with an error message like this:
ZFS: zio error=5 type=1 offset=4217856 size=8192 flags=60440
Observed during failure mode testing, dsl_scan_setup_sync() allocates
73920 bytes. This is way over the limit of what is wise to do with a
kmem_alloc() and it should probably be moved to a slab. For now I'm
just flagging it with KM_NODEBUG to quiet the error until this can be
revisited.
This commit fixes a bug in vdev_disk_open() in which the whole_disk property
was getting set to 0 for disk devices, even when it was stored as a 1 when the
zpool was created. The whole_disk property lets us detect when the partition
suffix should be stripped from the device name in CLI output. It is also used
to determine how writeback cache should be set for a device.
When an existing zpool is imported its configuration is read from the vdev
label by user space in zpool_read_label(). The whole_disk property is saved in
the nvlist which gets passed into the kernel, where it in turn gets saved in
the vdev struct in vdev_alloc(). Therefore, this value is available in
vdev_disk_open() and should not be overridden by checking the provided device
path, since that path will likely point to a partition and the check will
return the wrong result.
We also add an ASSERT that the whole_disk property is set. We are not aware of
any cases where vdev_disk_open() should be called with a config that doesn't
have this property set. The ASSERT is there so that when debugging is enabled
we can identify any legitimate cases that we are missing. If we never hit the
ASSERT, we can at some point remove it along with the conditional whole_disk
check.

This callback is needed for properly accounting the per-uid and per-gid
space usage. Even if we don't have the ZPL, we still need this callback
in order to have proper on-disk ZPL compatibility and to be able to use
Lustre quotas.
Fortunately, the callback doesn't have any ZPL/VFS dependencies so we
can just move it out of #ifdef HAVE_ZPL.

One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz

mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6

make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.

The upstream ZFS code has correctly moved to a faster native sha2
implementation. Unfortunately, under Linux that's going to be a little
problematic so we revert the code to the more portable version contained
in earlier ZFS releases. Using the native sha2 implementation in Linux
is possible but the API is slightly different in kernel version user
space depending on which libraries are used. Ideally, we need a fast
implementation of SHA256 which builds as part of ZFS this shouldn't be

This branch contains the majority of the changes required to cleanly
intergrate with Linux style special devices (/dev/zfs). Mainly this
means dropping all the Solaris style callbacks and replacing them
with the Linux equivilants.
This patch also adds the onexit infrastructure needed to track
some minimal state between ioctls. Under Linux it would be easy
to do this simply using the file->private_data. But under Solaris
they apparent need to pass the file descriptor as part of the ioctl
data and then perform a lookup in the kernel. Once again to keep
code change to a minimum I've implemented the Solaris solution.

This topic branch leverages the Solaris style FMA call points
in ZFS to create a user space visible event notification system
under Linux. This new system is called zevent and it unifies
all previous Solaris style ereports and sysevent notifications.
Under this Linux specific scheme when a sysevent or ereport event
occurs an nvlist describing the event is created which looks almost
exactly like a Solaris ereport. These events are queued up in the
kernel when they occur and conditionally logged to the console.
It is then up to a user space application to consume the events
and do whatever it likes with them.
To make this possible the existing /dev/zfs ABI has been extended
with two new ioctls which behave as follows.
* ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_NEXT
Get the next pending event. The kernel will keep track of the last
event consumed by the file descriptor and provide the next one if
available. If no new events are available the ioctl() will block
waiting for the next event. This ioctl may also be called in a
non-blocking mode by setting zc.zc_guid = ZEVENT_NONBLOCK. In the
non-blocking case if no events are available ENOENT will be returned.
It is possible that ESHUTDOWN will be returned if the ioctl() is
called while module unloading is in progress. And finally ENOMEM
may occur if the provided nvlist buffer is not large enough to
contain the entire event.
* ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_CLEAR
Clear are events queued by the kernel. The kernel will keep a fairly
large number of recent events queued, use this ioctl to clear the
in kernel list. This will effect all user space processes consuming
events.
The zpool command has been extended to use this events ABI with the
'events' subcommand. You may run 'zpool events -v' to output a
verbose log of all recent events. This is very similar to the
Solaris 'fmdump -ev' command with the key difference being it also
includes what would be considered sysevents under Solaris. You
may also run in follow mode with the '-f' option. To clear the
in kernel event queue use the '-c' option.

While the 'zpool events' command is handy for interactive debugging
it is not expected to be the primary consumer of zevents. This ABI
was primarily added to facilitate the addition of a user space
monitoring daemon. This daemon would consume all events posted by
the kernel and based on the type of event perform an action. For
most events simply forwarding them on to syslog is likely enough.
But this interface also cleanly allows for more sophisticated
actions to be taken such as generating an email for a failed drive.

after you account for the 5 new pointers added.
Also the source buffer length has been increased from MAXNAMELEN
to MAXNAMELEN+strlen(MOS_DIR_NAME)+1 as described by the comment in
dsl_dir_name(). A buffer overrun may have been possible with the
slightly smaller buffer.

Move dsl_dataset_t local variable from the stack to the heap.
This reduces the stack usage of this function from 2048 bytes
to 176 bytes for x84_64 arches.

Reduce stack usage by 276 bytes by moving the snaparg struct from the
stack to the heap. We have limited stack space we must not waste.

This commit preserves the recursive function dbuf_hold_impl() but moves
the local variables and function arguments to the heap to minimize
the stack frame size. Enough space is initially allocated on the
stack for 20 levels of recursion. This technique was based on commit
34229a2f2ac07363f64ddd63e014964fff2f0671 which reduced stack usage of
traverse_visitbp().

The dnode_move() functionality is only used in the kernel build.
As such we should be careful to wrap all of the related code
with '#ifdef _KERNEL' to avoid gcc warnings about unused code.
Interestingly this looks like an upstream bug as well. If for some
reason we are unable to get a zvols statistics, because perhaps the
zpool is hopelessly corrupt, we would trigger the VERIFY. This
commit adds the proper error handling just to propagate the error
back to user space. Now the user space tools still must handle this
properly but in the worst case the tool will crash or perhaps have
some missing output. That's far far better than crashing the host.

The zio_taskq_dispatch() function may be called at interrupt time
and it is critical that we never sleep.
Additionally, wrap taskq_dispatch() in a while loop because it may
fail. This is non optimal but is OK for now.

Do not use zmod.h in userspace.
This has also been filed with the ZFS team. It makes the userspace
libzpool code use the zlib API, instead of the Solaris-only and
non-standard zmod.h. The zlib API is almost identical and is a de
facto standard, so this is a no-brainer.

If your only going to allow one allocator to be used and it is defined
at compile time there is no point including the others in the build.
This patch could/should be refined for Linux to make the metaslab
configurable at run time. That might be a bit tricky however since
you would need to quiese all IO. Short of that making it configurable
as a module load option would be a reasonable compromise.

Remove all instances of list handling where the API is not used
and instead list data members are directly accessed. Doing this
sort of thing is bad for portability.
Additionally, ensure that list_link_init() is called on newly
created list nodes. This ensures the node is properly initialized
and does not rely on the assumption that zero'ing the list_node_t
via kmem_zalloc() is the same as proper initialization.

Move xiou stat structures from a header to the dmu.c source as is
done with all the other kstat interfaces. This information is local
to dmu.c registered the xuio kstat and should stay that way.

In the linux kernel 'current' is defined to mean the current process
and can never be used as a local variable in a function. Simply
replace all usage of 'current' with 'curr' in this function.

The upstream commit cb code had a few bugs:
1) The arguments of the list_move_tail() call in txg_dispatch_callbacks()
were reversed by mistake. This caused the commit callbacks to not be
called at all.
2) ztest had a bug in ztest_dmu_commit_callbacks() where "error" was not
initialized correctly. This seems to have caused the test to always take
the simulated error code path, which made ztest unable to detect whether
commit cbs were being called for transactions that successfuly complete.
3) ztest had another bug in ztest_dmu_commit_callbacks() where the commit
cb threshold was not being compared correctly.
4) The commit cb taskq was using 'max_ncpus * 2' as the maxalloc argument
of taskq_create(), which could have caused unnecessary delays in the txg
sync thread.

Fix non-c90 compliant code, for the most part these changes
simply deal with where a particular variable is declared.
Under c90 it must alway be done at the very start of a block.
