Notes for Linux port:
Earlier commit 08d08eb reduced contention on this taskq lock by simply
reducing the number of z_fr_iss threads from 100 to one-per-CPU. We
also optimized the taskq implementation in zfsonlinux/spl@3c6ed54.
These changes significantly improved unlink performance to acceptable
levels.
This patch further reduces time spent spinning on this lock by
randomly dispatching the work items over multiple independent task
queues. The Illumos ZFS developers stated that this lock contention
only arose after "3329 spa_sync() spends 10-20% of its time in
spa_free_sync_cb()" was landed. It's not clear if 3329 affects the
Linux port or not. I didn't see spa_free_sync_cb() show up in
oprofile sessions while unlinking large files, but I may just not
have used the right test case.
I tested unlinking a 1 TB of data with and without the patch and
didn't observe a meaningful difference in elapsed time. However,
oprofile showed that the percent time spent in taskq_thread() was
reduced from about 16% to about 5%. Aside from a possible slight
performance benefit this may be worth landing if only for the sake of
maintaining consistency with upstream.

NOTES: This patch has been reworked from the original in the
following ways to accomidate Linux ZFS implementation
*) Usage of the cyclic interface was replaced by the delayed taskq
interface. This avoids the need to implement new compatibility
code and allows us to rely on the existing taskq implementation.
*) An extern for zfs_txg_synctime_ms was added to sys/dsl_pool.h
because declaring externs in source files as was done in the
original patch is just plain wrong.
*) Instead of panicing the system when the deadman triggers a
zevent describing the blocked vdev and the first pending I/O
is posted. If the panic behavior is desired Linux provides
other generic methods to panic the system when threads are
observed to hang.
*) For reference, to delay zios by 30 seconds for testing you can
use zinject as follows: 'zinject -d <vdev> -D30 <pool>'

The new snapdev dataset property may be set to control the
visibility of zvol snapshot devices. By default this value
is set to 'hidden' which will prevent zvol snapshots from
appearing under /dev/zvol/ and /dev/<dataset>/. When set to
'visible' all zvol snapshots for the dataset will be visible.
This functionality was largely added because when automatic
snapshoting is enabled large numbers of read-only zvol snapshots
will be created. When creating these devices the kernel will
attempt to read their partition tables, and blkid will attempt
to identify any filesystems on those partitions. This leads
to a variety of issues:
1) The zvol partition tables will be read in the context of
the `modprobe zfs` for automatically imported pools. This
is undesirable and should be done asynchronously, but for
now reducing the number of visible devices helps.
2) Udev expects to be able to complete its work for a new
block devices fairly quickly. When many zvol devices are
added at the same time this is no longer be true. It can
lead to udev timeouts and missing /dev/zvol links.
3) Simply having lots of devices in /dev/ can be aukward from
a management standpoint. Hidding the devices your unlikely
to ever use helps with this. Any snapshot device which is
needed can be made visible by changing the snapdev property.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behavior for zvols which
was effectively 'snapdev=visible'.

The PaX team modified the kernel's modpost to report writeable function
pointers as section mismatches because they are potential exploit
targets. We could ignore the warnings, but their presence can obscure
actual issues. Proper const correctness can also catch programming
mistakes.
Building the kernel modules against a PaX/GrSecurity patched Linux 3.4.2
kernel reports 133 section mismatches prior to this patch. This patch
eliminates 130 of them. The quantity of writeable function pointers
eliminated by constifying each structure is as follows:
vdev_opts_t 52
zil_replay_func_t 24
zio_compress_info_t 24
zio_checksum_info_t 9
space_map_ops_t 7
arc_byteswap_func_t 5
The remaining 3 writeable function pointers cannot be addressed by this
patch. 2 of them are in zpl_fs_type. The kernel's sget function requires
that this be non-const. The final writeable function pointer is created
by SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE. The kernel's set_shrinker() and
remove_shrinker() functions also require that this be non-const.

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.

It's my understanding that the zfs_fsyncer_key TSD was added as
a performance omtimization to reduce contention on the zl_lock
from zil_commit(). This issue manifested itself as very long
(100+ms) fsync() system call times for fsync() heavy workloads.
However, under Linux I'm not seeing the same contention that
was originally described. Therefore, I'm removing this code
in order to ween ourselves off any dependence on TSD. If the
original performance issue reappears on Linux we can revisit
fixing it without resorting to TSD.
This just leaves one small ZFS TSD consumer. If it can be
cleanly removed from the code we'll be able to shed the SPL
TSD implementation entirely.

Revert the portion of commit d3aa3ea which always resulted in the
SAs being update when an mmap()'ed file was closed. That change
accidentally resulted in unexpected ctime updates which upset tools
like git. That was always a horrible hack and I'm happy it will
never make it in to a tagged release.
The right fix is something I initially resisted doing because I
was worried about the additional overhead. However, in hindsight
the overhead isn't as bad as I feared.
This patch implemented the sops->dirty_inode() callback which is
unsurprisingly called when an inode is dirtied. We leverage this
callback to keep the znode SAs strictly in sync with the inode.
However, for now we're going to go slowly to avoid introducing
any new unexpected issues by only updating the atime, mtime, and
ctime. This will cover the callpath of most concern to us.

Linux kernel commit d8e794d accidentally broke the delayed work
APIs for non-GPL callers. While the APIs to schedule a delayed
work item are still available to all callers, it is no longer
possible to initialize the delayed work item.
I'm cautiously optimistic we could get the delayed_work_timer_fn
exported for all callers in the upstream kernel. But frankly
the compatibility code to use this kernel interface has always
been problematic.
Therefore, this patch abandons direct use the of the Linux
kernel interface in favor of the new delayed taskq interface.
It provides roughly the same functionality as delayed work queues
but it's a stable interface under our control.

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.

Increasing this limit costs us 6144 bytes of memory per mounted

* Allows for up to 256-way concurreny when performing lookups

processes.
* Minimizes the likelyhood of encountering the deadlock
described in issue #1101. Because vmalloc() won't strictly

There have been reports of ZFS deadlocking due to what appears to
be a lost IO. This patch addes some debugging to determine the
exact state of the IO which neither 1) completed, 2) failed, or
3) timed out after zio_delay_max (30) seconds.
This information will be logged using the ZFS FMA infrastructure
as a 'delay' event and posted to the internal zevent log. By
default the last 64 events will be kept in the log but the limit
is configurable via the zfs_zevent_len_max module option.
To dump the contents of the log use the 'zpool events -v' command
and look for the resource.fs.zfs.delay event. It will include
various information about the pool, vdev, and zio which may shed
some light on the issue.

The interface for the ddt_zap_count() function assumes it can
never fail. However, internally ddt_zap_count() is implemented
with zap_count() which can potentially fail. Now because there
was no way to return the error to the caller a VERIFY was used
to ensure this case never happens.
Unfortunately, it has been observed that pools can be damaged in
such a way that zap_count() fails. The result is that the pool can
not be imported without hitting the VERIFY and crashing the system.
This patch reworks ddt_object_count() so the error can be safely
caught and returned to the caller. This allows a pool which has

Currently, ZIL blocks are spread over vdevs using hint block pointers
managed by the ZIL commit code and passed to metaslab_alloc(). Spreading
log blocks accross vdevs is important for performance: indeed, using
mutliple disks in parallel decreases the ZIL commit latency, which is
the main performance metric for synchronous writes. However, the current
implementation suffers from the following issues:
1) It would be best if the ZIL module was not aware of such low-level
details. They should be handled by the ZIO and metaslab modules;
2) Because the hint block pointer is managed per log, simultaneous
commits from multiple logs might use the same vdevs at the same time,
which is inefficient;
3) Because dmu_write() does not honor the block pointer hint, indirect
writes are not spread.
The naive solution of rotating the metaslab rotor each time a block is
allocated for the ZIL or dmu_sync() doesn't work in practice because the
first ZIL block to be written is actually allocated during the previous
commit. Consequently, when metaslab_alloc() decides the vdev for this
block, it will do so while a bunch of other allocations are happening at
the same time (from dmu_sync() and other ZILs). This means the vdev for
this block is chosen more or less at random. When the next commit
happens, there is a high chance (especially when the number of blocks
per commit is slightly less than the number of the disks) that one disk
will have to write two blocks (with a potential seek) while other disks
are sitting idle, which defeats spreading and increases the commit
latency.
This commit introduces a new concept in the metaslab allocator:
fastwrites. Basically, each top-level vdev maintains a counter
indicating the number of synchronous writes (from dmu_sync() and the
ZIL) which have been allocated but not yet completed. When the metaslab
is called with the FASTWRITE flag, it will choose the vdev with the
least amount of pending synchronous writes. If there are multiple vdevs
with the same value, the first matching vdev (starting from the rotor)
is used. Once metaslab_alloc() has decided which vdev the block is
allocated to, it updates the fastwrite counter for this vdev.
The rationale goes like this: when an allocation is done with
FASTWRITE, it "reserves" the vdev until the data is written. Until then,
all future allocations will naturally avoid this vdev, even after a full
rotation of the rotor. As a result, pending synchronous writes at a
given point in time will be nicely spread over all vdevs. This contrasts
with the previous algorithm, which is based on the implicit assumption
that blocks are written instantaneously after they're allocated.
metaslab_fastwrite_mark() and metaslab_fastwrite_unmark() are used to
manually increase or decrease fastwrite counters, respectively. They
should be used with caution, as there is no per-BP tracking of fastwrite
information, so leaks and "double-unmarks" are possible. There is,
however, an assert in the vdev teardown code which will fire if the
fastwrite counters are not zero when the pool is exported or the vdev
removed. Note that as stated above, marking is also done implictly by
metaslab_alloc().
ZIO also got a new FASTWRITE flag; when it is used, ZIO will pass it to
the metaslab when allocating (assuming ZIO does the allocation, which is
only true in the case of dmu_sync). This flag will also trigger an
unmark when zio_done() fires.
A side-effect of the new algorithm is that when a ZIL stops being used,
its last block can stay in the pending state (allocated but not yet
written) for a long time, polluting the fastwrite counters. To avoid
that, I've implemented a somewhat crude but working solution which
unmarks these pending blocks in zil_sync(), thus guaranteeing that
linguering fastwrites will get pruned at each sync event.
The best performance improvements are observed with pools using a large
number of top-level vdevs and heavy synchronous write workflows
(especially indirect writes and concurrent writes from multiple ZILs).
Real-life testing shows a 200% to 300% performance increase with
indirect writes and various commit sizes.

Commit c409e4647f introduced a
number of module parameters. This required several types to be
changed to accomidate the required module parameters Linux macros.
Unfortunately, arc.c contained its own extern definition of the
zfs_write_limit_max variable and its type was not updated to be
consistent with its dsl_pool.c counterpart. If the variable had
been properly marked extern in a common header, then gcc would
have generated a warning and this would not have slipped through.
The result of this was that the ARC unconditionally expected
zfs_write_limit_max to be 64-bit. Unfortunately, the largest size
integer module parameter that Linux supports is unsigned long, which
varies in size depending on the host system's native word size. The
effect was that on 32-bit systems, ARC incorrectly performed 64-bit
operations on a 32-bit value by reading the neighboring 32 bits as
the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit value.
We correct that by changing the extern declaration to use the unsigned
long type and move these extern definitions in to the common arc.h
header. This should make ARC correctly treat zfs_write_limit_max as a
32-bit value on 32-bit systems.

Currently, for unknown reasons, VOP_CLOSE() is a no-op in userspace.
This causes file descriptor leaks. This is especially problematic with
long ztest runs, since zpool.cache is opened repeatedly and never
closed, resulting in resource exhaustion (EMFILE errors).
This patch fixes the issue by making VOP_CLOSE() do what it is supposed
to do.

Issue #989
Currently, thread_create(), when called in userspace, creates a
joinable (i.e. not detached thread). This is the pthread default.
Unfortunately, this does not reproduce kthreads behavior (kthreads
are always detached). In addition, this contradicts the original
Solaris code which creates userspace threads in detached mode.
These joinable threads are never joined, which leads to a leakage of
pthread thread objects ("zombie threads"). This in turn results in
excessive ressource consumption, and possible ressource exhaustion in
extreme cases (e.g. long ztest runs).
This patch fixes the issue by creating userspace threads in detached
mode. The only exception is ztest worker threads which are meant to be
joinable.

Issue #989
This warning indicates the incorrect use of KM_SLEEP in a call
path which must use KM_PUSHPAGE to avoid deadlocking in direct
reclaim. See commit b8d06fca08

Issue #917
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.
This is patch lays the ground work for being able to safely revert the
following commits which used PF_MEMALLOC:

Issue #726
The vdev queue layer may require a small number of buffers
when attempting to create aggregate I/O requests. Rather than
attempting to allocate them from the global zio buffers, which
is slow under memory pressure, it makes sense to pre-allocate
them because...
1) These buffers are short lived. They are only required for
the life of a single I/O at which point they can be used by
the next I/O.
2) The maximum number of concurrent buffers needed by a vdev is
small. It's roughly limited by the zfs_vdev_max_pending tunable
which defaults to 10.
By keeping a small list of these buffer per-vdev we can ensure
one is always available when we need it. This significantly
reduces contention on the vq->vq_lock, because we no longer
need to perform a slow allocation under this lock. This is
particularly important when memory is already low on the system.
It would probably be wise to extend the use of these buffers beyond
aggregate I/O and in to the raidz implementation. The inability
to quickly allocate buffer for the parity stripes could result in
similiar problems.

This commit used PF_MEMALLOC to prevent a memory reclaim deadlock.
However, commit 49be0ccf1f eliminated
the invocation of __cv_init(), which was the cause of the deadlock.
PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting pages from ZONE_DMA
to be allocated. The use of PF_MEMALLOC was found to cause stability
problems when doing swap on zvols. Since this technique is known to
cause problems and no longer fixes anything, we revert it.

Export these symbols so they may be used by other ZFS consumers
besides the ZPL.
Remove three stale prototype definites from dbuf.h. The actual
implementations of these functions were removed/renamed long ago.
It would be good in the long term to remove the existing pragmas
we inherited from Solaris and simply use the dbuf_* names.

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

This commit modifies the user to kernel space ioctl ABI. Extra
care should be taken when updating to ensure both the kernel
modules and utilities are updated. This change has reordered
all of the new ioctl()s to the end of the list. This should
help minimize this issue in the future.

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