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.
