It turns out that 'zpool events' over 1024 bytes in size where being silently dropped. This was discovered while writing the zfault.sh tests to validate common failure modes. This could occur because the zfs interface for passing an arbitrary size nvlist_t over an ioctl() is to provide a buffer for the packed nvlist which is usually big enough. In this case 1024 byte is the default. If the kernel determines the buffer is to small it returns ENOMEM and the minimum required size of the nvlist_t. This was working properly but in the case of 'zpool events' the event stream was advanced dispite the error. Thus the retry with the bigger buffer would succeed but it would skip over the previous event. The fix is to pass this size to zfs_zevent_next() and determine before removing the event from the list if it will fit. This was preferable to checking after the event was returned because this avoids the need to rewind the stream. |
