The Linux slab, in general, performs better than the SPl slab in cases
where a lot of objects are allocated and fragmentation is likely present.
This patch fixes pathologically bad behavior in cases where the ARC is
filled with mostly metadata and a user program needs to allocate and
dirty enough memory which would require an insignificant amount of the
ARC to be reclaimed.
If zfs_znode_cache is on the SPL slab, the system may spin for a very
long time trying to reclaim sufficient memory. If it is on the Linux
slab, the behavior has been observed to be much more predictible; the
memory is reclaimed more efficiently.

zfs_sb_t has grown to the point where using kmem_zalloc() for allocations
is triggering the 32k warning threshold.
We can't safely convert this entire allocation to use vmem_alloc() instead
of kmem_alloc() because the backing_dev_info structure is embedded here.
It depends on the bit_waitqueue() function which won't behave properly

By marking DMU transaction processing contexts with PF_FSTRANS

Callers of kmem_alloc() which passed the KM_NODEBUG flag to suppress
the large allocation warning have been replaced by vmem_alloc() as
appropriate. The updated vmem_alloc() call will not print a warning

A careful reader will notice that not all callers have been changed

This was possible because the default warning threshold has been
increased to 32k. This is desirable because it minimizes the need
for Linux specific code changes.

This patch implements the original fix in a slightly different manner in
order to avoid both deadlocks. Instead of relying on a call to ilookup()
which can block in __wait_on_freeing_inode() the return value from igrab()
is used. This gives us the information that ilookup() provided without
the risk of a deadlock.
Alternately, this race could be closed by registering an sops->drop_inode()
callback. The callback would need to detect the active SA hold thereby
informing the VFS that this inode should not be evicted.

Previously, the atime-modifying vnops called ZFS_ACCESSTIME_STAMP()
followed by zfs_inode_update() to update the atime. However, since atimes
are cached in the znode for delayed writing, the zfs_inode_update()
function would effectively ignore the cached atime by reading it from
the SA.
This commit moves the updating of the atime in the inode into
zfs_tstamp_update_setup() which is called by the ZFS_ACCESSTIME_STAMP()
macro and eliminates the call to zfs_inode_update() in the atime-modifying
vnops.
It's possible the same thing could have been done directly in
zfs_inode_update() but I wasn't sure that it was safe in all cases where
it is called.
The effect is that atime handling is as if "strictatime" were selected;
even if the filesystem is mounted with "relatime".

Rolling back a mounted filesystem with open file handles and
cached dentries+inodes never worked properly in ZoL. The
major issue was that Linux provides no easy mechanism for
modules to invalidate the inode cache for a file system.
Because of this it was possible that an inode from the previous
filesystem would not get properly dropped from the cache during
rolling back. Then a new inode with the same inode number would
be create and collide with the existing cached inode. Ideally
this would trigger an VERIFY() but in practice the error wasn't
handled and it would just NULL reference.
Luckily, this issue can be resolved by sprucing up the existing
Solaris zfs_rezget() functionality for the Linux VFS.
The way it works now is that when a file system is rolled back
all the cached inodes will be traversed and refetched from disk.
If a version of the cached inode exists on disk the in-core
copy will be updated accordingly. If there is no match for that
object on disk it will be unhashed from the inode cache and
marked as stale.
This will effectively make the inode unfindable for lookups
allowing the inode number to be immediately recycled. The inode
will then only be accessible from the cached dentries. Subsequent
dentry lookups which reference a stale inode will result in the
dentry being invalidated. Once invalidated the dentry will drop
its reference on the inode allowing it to be safely pruned from
the cache.
Special care is taken for negative dentries since they do not
reference any inode. These dentires will be invalidate based
on when they were added to the dentry cache. Entries added
before the last rollback will be invalidate to prevent them
from masking real files in the dataset.
Two nice side effects of this fix are:
* Removes the dependency on spl_invalidate_inodes(), it can now
be safely removed from the SPL when we choose to do so.
* zfs_znode_alloc() no longer requires a dentry to be passed.
This effectively reverts this portition of the code to its
upstream counterpart. The dentry is not instantiated more
correctly in the Linux ZPL layer.

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.

Issue #1101
Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.
* The txg_sync thread
* The zvol write/discard threads
* The zpl_putpage() VFS callback
This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages. If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system. To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.
Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread. However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA. This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.

The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.
The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.
This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.
In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:
* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.
arc_add_prune_callback()
arc_remove_prune_callback()
* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.
* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.
* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.
* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.
* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden
directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name
and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is
very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However,
it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing
a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks.
1) Lookup the dnode object.
2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object.
3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory.
To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3
and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When
the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external
block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small
and this approach works well.
The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean
way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa'
is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes.
This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and
up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional
xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be
stored using the traditional directory approach.
This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement
when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4
and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file
the performance improvements are even greater because all of the
xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached.
However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port
to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do
enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms
which do not support this feature.

Issue #443
Caught by code inspection, the variable zsb was referenced after
being freed. Move the kmem_free() to the end of the function.

Long, long, long ago when the effort to port ZFS was begun
the zfs_create_fs() function was heavily modified to remove
all of its VFS dependencies. This allowed Lustre to use
the dataset without us having to spend the time porting all
the required VFS code.
Fast-forward several years and we now have all the VFS code
in place but are still relying on the modified zfs_create_fs().
This isn't required anymore and we can now use zfs_mknode()
to create the root znode for the filesystem.
This commit reverts the contents of zfs_create_fs() to largely
match the upstream OpenSolaris code. There have been minor
modifications to accomidate the Linux VFS but that is all.
This code fixes issue #116 by bootstraping enough of the VFS
data structures so we can rely on zfs_mknode() to create the
root directory. This ensures it is created properly with
support for system attributes. Previously it wasn't which
is why it behaved differently that all other directories
when modified.

The Linux kernel already has support for mandatory locking. This
change just replaces the Solaris mandatory locking calls with the
Linux equivilants. In fact, it looks like this code could be
removed entirely because this checking is already done generically
in the Linux VFS. However, for now we'll leave it in place even
if it is redundant just in case we missed something.
The original patch to update the code to support mandatory locking
was done by Rohan Puri. This patch is an updated version which is
compatible with the previous mount option handling changes.

The security_inode_init_security() function now takes an additional

Passing a NULL is safe when no qstr is available the relevant
security checks will just be skipped.

Update the handling of named pipes and sockets to be consistent with
other platforms with regard to the rdev attribute. While all ZFS
ipmlementations store the rdev for device files in a system attribute
(SA), this is not the case for FIFOs and sockets. Indeed, Linux always
passes rdev=0 to mknod() for FIFOs and sockets, so the value is not
needed. Add an ASSERT that rdev==0 for FIFOs and sockets to detect if
the expected behavior ever changes.
Closes#216
When a new znode/inode pair is created both the znode and the inode
should be immediately updated to the correct values. This was done
for the znode and for most of the values in the inode, but not all
of them. This normally wasn't a problem because most subsequent
operations would cause the inode to be immediately updated. This
change ensures the inode is now fully updated before it is inserted
in to the inode hash.

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().
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.
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
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
