Linux VM Integration Cleanup Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL. When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the address. The function name itself can them become a define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the headers so we know we are calling the function properly. This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which additional symbols we needed exported. Those patches can also be used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should not be a requirement. The rhel5 version of the export-symbols patch has been applied to the chaos kernel. Additional fixes: 1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info() 2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product. When $LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols. 3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and $LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

FC10/i686 Compatibility Update (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686) In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to my list of development platforms. The hope is this will allow me to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support. This patch resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment. 1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added. As of 2.6.21 the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count for free, inactive, and active pages. The SPL attempts to detect if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state() to global_page_state(). If the full API is not available then spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available. 2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct vmem_size() functionality. The test case acquires the current global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats. 3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM based memory. On x86 systems with limited virtual address space failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space. The tests really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus we need to use the physical address space. 4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages(). This provides additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration. 5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K instead of 1M. On x86 based systems it is not possible to create a kmem backed slab with entires of that size. To compensate for this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x. 6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API changes to make additional symbols available to modules. 7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() fails to locate an expected symbol. This causes the module to fail to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.

Linux VM Integration Cleanup Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL. When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the address. The function name itself can them become a define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the headers so we know we are calling the function properly. This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which additional symbols we needed exported. Those patches can also be used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should not be a requirement. The rhel5 version of the export-symbols patch has been applied to the chaos kernel. Additional fixes: 1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info() 2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product. When $LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols. 3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and $LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

Autoconf --enable-debug-* cleanup Cleanup the --enable-debug-* configure options, this has been pending for quite some time and I am glad I finally got to it. To summerize: 1) All SPL_AC_DEBUG_* macros were updated to be a more autoconf friendly. This mainly involved shift to the GNU approved usage of AC_ARG_ENABLE and ensuring AS_IF is used rather than directly using an if [ test ] construct. 2) --enable-debug-kmem=yes by default. This simply enabled keeping a running tally of total memory allocated and freed and reporting a memory leak if there was one at module unload. Additionally, it ensure /proc/spl/kmem/slab will exist by default which is handy. The overhead is low for this and it should not impact performance. 3) --enable-debug-kmem-tracking=no by default. This option was added to provide a configure option to enable to detailed memory allocation tracking. This support was always there but you had to know where to turn it on. By default this support is disabled because it is known to badly hurt performence, however it is invaluable when chasing a memory leak. 4) --enable-debug-kstat removed. After further reflection I can't see why you would ever really want to turn this support off. It is now always on which had the nice side effect of simplifying the proc handling code in spl-proc.c.

* Slab allocation interfaces
*
* While the Linux slab implementation was inspired by the Solaris
* implementation I cannot use it to emulate the Solaris APIs. I
* require two features which are not provided by the Linux slab.
*
* 1) Constructors AND destructors. Recent versions of the Linux
* kernel have removed support for destructors. This is a deal
* breaker for the SPL which contains particularly expensive
* initializers for mutex's, condition variables, etc. We also
* require a minimal level of cleanup for these data types unlike
* many Linux data type which do need to be explicitly destroyed.
*
* 2) Virtual address space backed slab. Callers of the Solaris slab
* expect it to work well for both small are very large allocations.
* Because of memory fragmentation the Linux slab which is backed
* by kmalloc'ed memory performs very badly when confronted with
* large numbers of large allocations. Basing the slab on the
* virtual address space removes the need for contiguous pages
* and greatly improve performance for large allocations.
*
* For these reasons, the SPL has its own slab implementation with
* the needed features. It is not as highly optimized as either the
* Solaris or Linux slabs, but it should get me most of what is
* needed until it can be optimized or obsoleted by another approach.
*

Emergency slab objects This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with __vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case ZFS depends on for correct operation. Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches are available which resolve the issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done. Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate the Linux VM. While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage. This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete. Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will proceed as usual. However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags. This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress. As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress. This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete and normal operation will resume. These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in practice further optimizations are possible. One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived. Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch. Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality was implemented. See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26 for full details. This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory fragmentation problems. The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the end. The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows the historical worst case. These value should give us a good idea of how often these objects are needed. Based on these values under real use cases we can tune the default behavior. Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address space lock. This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for the system. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Emergency slab objects This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with __vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case ZFS depends on for correct operation. Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches are available which resolve the issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done. Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate the Linux VM. While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage. This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete. Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will proceed as usual. However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags. This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress. As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress. This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete and normal operation will resume. These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in practice further optimizations are possible. One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived. Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch. Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality was implemented. See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26 for full details. This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory fragmentation problems. The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the end. The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows the historical worst case. These value should give us a good idea of how often these objects are needed. Based on these values under real use cases we can tune the default behavior. Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address space lock. This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for the system. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Emergency slab objects This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with __vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case ZFS depends on for correct operation. Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches are available which resolve the issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done. Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate the Linux VM. While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage. This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete. Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will proceed as usual. However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags. This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress. As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress. This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete and normal operation will resume. These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in practice further optimizations are possible. One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived. Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch. Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality was implemented. See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26 for full details. This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory fragmentation problems. The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the end. The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows the historical worst case. These value should give us a good idea of how often these objects are needed. Based on these values under real use cases we can tune the default behavior. Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address space lock. This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for the system. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Emergency slab objects This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with __vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case ZFS depends on for correct operation. Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches are available which resolve the issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done. Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate the Linux VM. While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage. This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete. Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will proceed as usual. However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags. This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress. As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress. This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete and normal operation will resume. These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in practice further optimizations are possible. One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived. Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch. Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality was implemented. See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26 for full details. This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory fragmentation problems. The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the end. The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows the historical worst case. These value should give us a good idea of how often these objects are needed. Based on these values under real use cases we can tune the default behavior. Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address space lock. This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for the system. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Emergency slab objects This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with __vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case ZFS depends on for correct operation. Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches are available which resolve the issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done. Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate the Linux VM. While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage. This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete. Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will proceed as usual. However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags.

Emergency slab objects This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with __vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case ZFS depends on for correct operation. Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches are available which resolve the issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done. Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate the Linux VM. While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage. This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete. Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will proceed as usual. However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags. This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress. As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress. This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete and normal operation will resume. These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in practice further optimizations are possible. One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived. Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch. Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality was implemented.

Linux VM Integration Cleanup Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL. When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the address. The function name itself can them become a define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the headers so we know we are calling the function properly. This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which additional symbols we needed exported. Those patches can also be used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should not be a requirement. The rhel5 version of the export-symbols patch has been applied to the chaos kernel. Additional fixes: 1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info() 2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product. When $LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols. 3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and $LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

FC10/i686 Compatibility Update (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686) In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to my list of development platforms. The hope is this will allow me to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support. This patch resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment. 1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added. As of 2.6.21 the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count for free, inactive, and active pages. The SPL attempts to detect if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state() to global_page_state(). If the full API is not available then spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available. 2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct vmem_size() functionality. The test case acquires the current global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats. 3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM based memory. On x86 systems with limited virtual address space failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space. The tests really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus we need to use the physical address space. 4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages(). This provides additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration. 5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K instead of 1M. On x86 based systems it is not possible to create a kmem backed slab with entires of that size. To compensate for this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x. 6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API changes to make additional symbols available to modules. 7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() fails to locate an expected symbol. This causes the module to fail to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.

FC10/i686 Compatibility Update (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686) In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to my list of development platforms. The hope is this will allow me to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support. This patch resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment. 1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added. As of 2.6.21 the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count for free, inactive, and active pages. The SPL attempts to detect if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state() to global_page_state(). If the full API is not available then spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available. 2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct vmem_size() functionality. The test case acquires the current global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats. 3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM based memory. On x86 systems with limited virtual address space failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space. The tests really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus we need to use the physical address space. 4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages(). This provides additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration. 5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K instead of 1M. On x86 based systems it is not possible to create a kmem backed slab with entires of that size. To compensate for this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x. 6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API changes to make additional symbols available to modules. 7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() fails to locate an expected symbol. This causes the module to fail to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.

Linux VM Integration Cleanup Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL. When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the address. The function name itself can them become a define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the headers so we know we are calling the function properly. This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which additional symbols we needed exported.

Linux VM Integration Cleanup Remove all instances of functions being reimplemented in the SPL. When the prototypes are available in the linux headers but the function address itself is not exported use kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the address. The function name itself can them become a define which calls a function pointer. This is preferable to reimplementing the function in the SPL because it ensures we get the correct version of the function for the running kernel. This is actually pretty safe because the prototype is defined in the headers so we know we are calling the function properly. This patch also includes a rhel5 kernel patch we exports the needed symbols so we don't need to use kallsyms_lookup_name(). There are autoconf checks to detect if the symbol is exported and if so to use it directly. We should add patches for stock upstream kernels as needed if for no other reason than so we can easily track which additional symbols we needed exported. Those patches can also be used by anyone willing to rebuild their kernel, but this should not be a requirement. The rhel5 version of the export-symbols patch has been applied to the chaos kernel. Additional fixes: 1) Implement vmem_size() function using get_vmalloc_info() 2) SPL_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT macro updated to use $LINUX_OBJ instead of $LINUX because Module.symvers is a build product. When $LINUX_OBJ != $LINUX we will not properly detect exported symbols. 3) SPL_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE macro updated to add include2 and $LINUX/include search paths to allow proper compilation when the kernel target build directory is not the source directory.

FC10/i686 Compatibility Update (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686) In the interests of portability I have added a FC10/i686 box to my list of development platforms. The hope is this will allow me to keep current with upstream kernel API changes, and at the same time ensure I don't accidentally break x86 support. This patch resolves all remaining issues observed under that environment. 1) SPL_AC_ZONE_STAT_ITEM_FIA autoconf check added. As of 2.6.21 the kernel added a clean API for modules to get the global count for free, inactive, and active pages. The SPL attempts to detect if this API is available and directly map spl_global_page_state() to global_page_state(). If the full API is not available then spl_global_page_state() is implemented as a thin layer to get these values via get_zone_counts() if that symbol is available. 2) New kmem:vmem_size regression test added to validate correct vmem_size() functionality. The test case acquires the current global vmem state, allocates from the vmem region, then verifies the allocation is correctly reflected in the vmem_size() stats. 3) Change splat_kmem_cache_thread_test() to always use KMC_KMEM based memory. On x86 systems with limited virtual address space failures resulted due to exhaustig the address space. The tests really need to problem exhausting all memory on the system thus we need to use the physical address space. 4) Change kmem:slab_lock to cap it's memory usage at availrmem instead of using the native linux nr_free_pages(). This provides additional test coverage of the SPL Linux VM integration. 5) Change kmem:slab_overcommit to perform allocation of 256K instead of 1M. On x86 based systems it is not possible to create a kmem backed slab with entires of that size. To compensate for this the number of allocations performed in increased by 4x. 6) Additional autoconf documentation for proposed upstream API changes to make additional symbols available to modules. 7) Console error messages added when spl_kallsyms_lookup_name() fails to locate an expected symbol. This causes the module to fail to load and we need to know exactly which symbol was not available.
