ZFS incorrectly uses directory-based extended attributes even when
xattr=sa is specified as a dataset property or mount option. Support to
honor temporary mount options including "xattr" was added in commit
0282c4137e7409e6d85289f4955adf07fac834f5. There are two issues with the
mount option handling:
* Libzfs has historically included "xattr" in its list of default mount
options. This overrides the dataset property, so the dataset is always
configured to use directory-based xattrs even when the xattr dataset
property is set to off or sa. Address this by removing "xattr" from
the set of default mount options in libzfs.
* There was no way to enable system attribute-based extended attributes
using temporary mount options. Add the mount options "saxattr" and
"dirxattr" which enable the xattr behavior their names suggest. This
approach has the advantages of mirroring the valid xattr dataset
property values and following existing conventions for mount option
names.

This patch is based on the previous work done by @andrey-ve and
@yshui. It triggers the automount by using kern_path() to traverse
to the known snapshout mount point. Once the snapshot is mounted
NFS can access the contents of the snapshot.
Allowing NFS clients to access to the .zfs/snapshot directory would
normally mean that a root user on a client mounting an export with
'no_root_squash' would be able to use mkdir/rmdir/mv to manipulate
snapshots on the server. To prevent configuration mistakes a
zfs_admin_snapshot module option was added which disables the
mkdir/rmdir/mv functionally. System administators desiring this
functionally must explicitly enable it.

Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.
Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.
Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:
1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.
An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.
Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

This brings the behavior of arc_memory_throttle() back in sync with
illumos. The updated memory throttling policy roughly goes like this:
* Never throttle if more than 10% of memory is free. This threshold
is configurable with the zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent module option.
* Minimize any throttling of kswapd even when free memory is below
the set threshold. Allow it to write out pages as quickly as
possible to help alleviate the memory pressure.
* Delay all other threads when free memory is below the set threshold
in order to avoid compounding the memory pressure. Buffers will be
evicted from the ARC to reduce the issue.
The Linux specific zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option has
been removed in favor of the existing zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent tuning.
Setting zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent=0 will have the same effect as
zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable and it was therefore redundant.

While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of
the VM it does provide us total free pages. This information should
be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather
than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim. Conceptually
this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos.
It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable
on a system. While the default values are expected to work well
for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed.
The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose.
zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave

part of the test suite which won't have an external impact. The few
places where it could impact performance the change was from maxclsyspri

Setting the TASKQ_DYNAMIC flag will create a taskq with dynamic
semantics. Initially only a single worker thread will be created
to service tasks dispatched to the queue. As additional threads
are needed they will be dynamically spawned up to the max number
specified by 'nthreads'. When the threads are no longer needed,
because the taskq is empty, they will automatically terminate.
Due to the low cost of creating and destroying threads under Linux
by default new threads and spawned and terminated aggressively.
There are two modules options which can be tuned to adjust this
behavior if needed.
* spl_taskq_thread_sequential - The number of sequential tasks,
without interruption, which needed to be handled by a worker
thread before a new worker thread is spawned. Default 4.
* spl_taskq_thread_dynamic - Provides the ability to completely
disable the use of dynamic taskqs on the system. This is provided
for the purposes of debugging and troubleshooting. Default 1
(enabled).
This behavior is fundamentally consistent with the dynamic taskq

Porting notes and other significant code changes:
The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which
was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch.
Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to
actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every
time it runs.
The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts()
since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically.
Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or
whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch:
302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux
39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink
f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c"
77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation
94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta

recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which
have been updated appropriately.
l2_writes_hdr_miss
The following arcstats have been added:
evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to
evict enough buffers to reach its target amount.
evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction
because it was being written to the l2arc.
l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss. Number of times
l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries).
arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module
parameter (see below).
The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't
have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme. Additional multilist-
related stats could be added in the future but would likely require
extensions to the mulilist API.
The following module parameters have been added:

before moving on to the next sub-list.
zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in
the ARC.
zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per
ARC state.

Porting Notes:
* Included in this patch is a tiny ISP2() cleanup in zio_init() from
Illumos 5255.
* Unlike the upstream Illumos commit this patch does not impose an
arbitrary 128K block size limit on volumes. Volumes, like filesystems,
are limited by the zfs_max_recordsize=1M module option.
* By default the maximum record size is limited to 1M by the module
option zfs_max_recordsize. This value may be safely increased up to
16M which is the largest block size supported by the on-disk format.
At the moment, 1M blocks clearly offer a significant performance
improvement but the benefits of going beyond this for the majority
of workloads are less clear.
* The illumos version of this patch increased DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 32M.
This was determined not to be large enough when using 16M blocks
because the zfs_make_xattrdir() function will fail (EFBIG) when
assigning a TX. This was immediately observed under Linux because
all newly created files must have a security xattr created and
that was failing. Therefore, we've set DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 64M.
* On 32-bit platforms a hard limit of 1M is set for blocks due
to the limited virtual address space. We should be able to relax
this one the ABD patches are merged.

The goal of this function is to evict enough meta data buffers from the
ARC in order to enforce the arc_meta_limit. Achieving this is slightly
more complicated than it appears because it is common for data buffers
to have holds on meta data buffers. In addition, dnode meta data buffers
will be held by the dnodes in the block preventing them from being freed.
This means we can't simply traverse the ARC and expect to always find
enough unheld meta data buffer to release.
Therefore, this function has been updated to make alternating passes
over the ARC releasing data buffers and then newly unheld meta data
buffers. This ensures forward progress is maintained and arc_meta_used
will decrease. Normally this is sufficient, but if required the ARC
will call the registered prune callbacks causing dentry and inodes to
be dropped from the VFS cache. This will make dnode meta data buffers
available for reclaim. The number of total restarts in limited by
zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts to prevent spinning in the rare case
where all meta data is pinned.

Issue #3160
Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was
to register a single callback for the ZPL. The ARC could invoke this
call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other
cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC. The ZPL
would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim.
For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations
in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems. This patch
is designed to address those issues.
1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes
it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in
a single callback. The most straight forward and portable way to
resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount.
The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple
callbacks so this is functionally a very small change.
2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory()
and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with
equivalent functionality. This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older
kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from
the caches if needed. This patch adds that missing functionality
by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be
pinning inodes. This will result in all unused cache entries being
dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface
available for old kernels.
3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than
2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback. This ensures
that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately
removed from the cache. If this isn't done than inode can end up on
the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them.
Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still
be recreated without performing disk IO.

Issue #3063
This change is designed to improve the memory utilization of
slabs by more carefully setting their size. The way the code
currently works is problematic for slabs which contain large
objects (>1MB). This is due to slabs being unconditionally
rounded up to a power of two which may result in unused space
at the end of the slab.
The reason the existing code rounds up every slab is because it
assumes it will backed by the buddy allocator. Since the buddy
allocator can only performs power of two allocations this is
desirable because it avoids wasting any space. However, this
logic breaks down if slab is backed by vmalloc() which operates
at a page level granularity. In this case, the optimal thing to
do is calculate the minimum required slab size given certain
constraints (object size, alignment, objects/slab, etc).
Therefore, this patch reworks the spl_slab_size() function so
that it sizes KMC_KMEM slabs differently than KMC_VMEM slabs.
KMC_KMEM slabs are rounded up to the nearest power of two, and
KMC_VMEM slabs are allowed to be the minimum required size.
This change also reduces the default number of objects per slab.
This reduces how much memory a single cache object can pin, which
can result in significant memory saving for highly fragmented
caches. But depending on the workload it may result in slabs
being allocated and freed more frequently. In practice, this
has been shown to be a better default for most workloads.
Also the maximum slab size has been reduced to 4MB on 32-bit
systems. Due to the limited virtual address space it's critical
the we be as frugal as possible. A limit of 4M still lets us
reasonably comfortably allocate a limited number of 1MB objects.
Finally, the kmem:slab_small and kmem:slab_large SPLAT tests
were extended to provide better test coverage of various object
sizes and alignments. Caches are created with random parameters
and their basic functionality is verified by allocating several
slabs worth of objects.

Many people have noticed that the kmem cache implementation is slow
to release its memory. This patch makes the reclaim behavior more
aggressive by immediately freeing a slab once it is empty. Unused
objects which are cached in the magazines will still prevent a slab
from being freed.

This patch achieves the following goals:
1. It replaces the preprocessor kmem flag to gfp flag mapping with
proper translation logic. This eliminates the potential for
surprises that were previously possible where kmem flags were
mapped to gfp flags.
2. It maps vmem_alloc() allocations to kmem_alloc() for allocations
sized less than or equal to the newly-added spl_kmem_alloc_max
parameter. This ensures that small allocations will not contend
on a single global lock, large allocations can still be handled,
and potentially limited virtual address space will not be squandered.
This behavior is entirely different than under Illumos due to
different memory management strategies employed by the respective
kernels. However, this functionally provides the semantics required.
3. The --disable-debug-kmem, --enable-debug-kmem (default), and
--enable-debug-kmem-tracking allocators have been unified in to
a single spl_kmem_alloc_impl() allocation function. This was
done to simplify the code and make it more maintainable.
4. Improve portability by exposing an implementation of the memory
allocations functions that can be safely used in the same way
they are used on Illumos. Specifically, callers may safely
use KM_SLEEP in contexts which perform filesystem IO. This
allows us to eliminate an entire class of Linux specific changes
which were previously required to avoid deadlocking the system.
This change will be largely transparent to existing callers but there
are a few caveats:
1. Because the headers were refactored and extraneous includes removed
callers may find they need to explicitly add additional #includes.
In particular, kmem_cache.h must now be explicitly includes to
access the SPL's kmem cache implementation. This behavior is
different from Illumos but it was done to avoid always masking
the Linux slab functions when kmem.h is included.
2. Callers, like Lustre, which made assumptions about the definitions
of KM_SLEEP, KM_NOSLEEP, and KM_PUSHPAGE will need to be updated.
Other callers such as ZFS which did not will not require changes.
3. KM_PUSHPAGE is no longer overloaded to imply GFP_NOIO. It retains
its original meaning of allowing allocations to access reserved
memory. KM_PUSHPAGE callers can be converted back to KM_SLEEP.
4. The KM_NODEBUG flags has been retired and the default warning
threshold increased to 32k.
5. The kmem_virt() functions has been removed. For callers which
need to distinguish between a physical and virtual address use
is_vmalloc_addr().

Add a table describing the debugging flags that can be set in the zfs_flags
module parameter. Also change the module_param type to 'uint' so users aren't
shown a negative value. The updated man page text is reproduced below for
convenience.

Porting notes:
The static function zfs_prop_activate_feature() was removed because
this change removes the only caller. The function was not removed
from Illumos but instead left as dead code. However, to keep gcc
happy it was removed from Linux and may be easily restored if needed.

Creating virtual machines that have their rootfs on ZFS on hosts that
have their rootfs on ZFS causes SPA namespace collisions when the
standard name rpool is used. The solution is either to give each guest
pool a name unique to the host, which is not always desireable, or boot
a VM environment containing an ISO image to install it, which is
cumbersome.
26b42f3f9d03f85cc7966dc2fe4dfe9216601b0e introduced `zpool import -t
...` to simplify situations where a host must access a guest's pool when
there is a SPA namespace conflict. We build upon that to introduce
`zpool import -t tname ...`. That allows us to create a pool whose
in-core name is tname, but whose on-disk name is the normal name
specified.
This simplifies the creation of machine images that use a rootfs on ZFS.
That benefits not only real world deployments, but also ZFSOnLinux
development by decreasing the time needed to perform rootfs on ZFS
experiments.

zpool import's -t parameter is intended for use with -R when operating
on pools that belong to other systems. Like -R, pools imported in this
way should not update the cachefile unless explicitly requested. The
initial implementation allowed the cachefile to be updated when -R was
not used. This went uncaught during testing because -R had implicitly
disabled use of the cachefile.
