* Fix synchronous behavior in __vdev_disk_physio()Brian Behlendorf2015-09-251-50/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b39c22b set the READ_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC flags for a bio based on the ZIO_PRIORITY_* flag passed in. This had the unnoticed side-effect of making the vdev_disk_io_start() synchronous for certain I/Os. This in turn resulted in vdev_disk_io_start() being able to re-dispatch zio's which would result in a RCU stalls when a disk was removed from the system. Additionally, this could negatively impact performance and explains the performance regressions reported in both #3829 and #3780. This patch resolves the issue by making the blocking behavior dependent on a 'wait' flag being passed rather than overloading the passed bio flags. Finally, the WRITE_SYNC and READ_SYNC behavior is restricted to non-rotational devices where there is no benefit to queuing to aggregate the I/O.

* Fix gcc configure warningsBrian Behlendorf2011-04-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newer versions of gcc are getting smart enough to detect the sloppy syntax used for the autoconf tests. It is now generating warnings for unused/undeclared variables. Newer version of gcc even have the -Wunused-but-set-variable option set by default. This isn't a problem except when -Werror is set and they get promoted to an error. In this case the autoconf test will return an incorrect result which will result in a build failure latter on. To handle this I'm tightening up many of the autoconf tests to explicitly mark variables as unused to suppress the gcc warning. Remember, all of the autoconf code can never actually be run we just want to get a clean build error to detect which APIs are available. Never using a variable is absolutely fine for this. Closes #176
* Linux 2.6.36 compat, synchronous bio flagBrian Behlendorf2010-11-101-4/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_* and REQ_* flags. The new flag is called REQ_SYNC. To simplify checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync() helper function. Based on the results of several new autoconf tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio. Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio: 2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC 2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO 2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC
* Add build systemBrian Behlendorf2010-08-311-0/+19
Add autoconf style build infrastructure to the ZFS tree. This includes autogen.sh, configure.ac, m4 macros, some scripts/*, and makefiles for all the core ZFS components.
