When calling sa_update() and friends it is possible that a spill buffer will be needed to accomidate the update. When this happens a hold is taken on the new dbuf and that hold must be released before calling dmu_tx_commit(). Failing to release the hold will cause a copy of the dbuf to be made in dbuf_sync_leaf(). This is done to ensure further updates to the dbuf never sneak in to the syncing txg. This could be left to the sa_update() caller. But then the caller would need to be aware of this internal SA implementation detail. It is therefore preferable to handle this all internally in the SA implementation. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #503 Closes #513
Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
