* Linux compat: Minimum kernel version 3.10Brian Behlendorf2019-11-121-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10. This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions. Distribution | Kernel | End of Life ---------------- | ------ | ------------- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017 SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019 RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020 The following changes were made as part of removing support. * Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10). configure: error: *** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32. *** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10. * Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel. * Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel. Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface. * Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the legacy interface. * Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in the same fashion, but this as left as future work. - config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks - config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks - config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks * Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #9566
* Perform KABI checks in parallelBrian Behlendorf2019-10-011-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled or not. By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k) option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled. Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file. Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process. New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases but it's use is not encouraged. master (secs) patched (secs) ------------- ---------------- autogen.sh 61 68 configure 137 24 (~17% of current run time) make -j $(nproc) 44 44 make rpms 287 150 Reviewed-by: Tony Hutter <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #8547 Closes #9132 Closes #9341
* Linux 3.18 compat: Snapshot auto-mountingBrian Behlendorf2015-08-311-0/+20
Re-factor the .zfs/snapshot auto-mouting code to take in to account changes made to the upstream kernels. And to lay the groundwork for enabling access to .zfs snapshots via NFS clients. This patch makes the following core improvements. * All actively auto-mounted snapshots are now tracked in two global trees which are indexed by snapshot name and objset id respectively. This allows for fast lookups of any auto-mounted snapshot regardless without needing access to the parent dataset. * Snapshot entries are added to the tree in zfsctl_snapshot_mount(). However, they are now removed from the tree in the context of the unmount process. This eliminates the need complicated error logic in zfsctl_snapshot_unmount() to handle unmount failures. * References are now taken on the snapshot entries in the tree to ensure they always remain valid while a task is outstanding. * The MNT_SHRINKABLE flag is set on the snapshot vfsmount_t right after the auto-mount succeeds. This allows to kernel to unmount idle auto-mounted snapshots if needed removing the need for the zfsctl_unmount_snapshots() function. * Snapshots in active use will not be automatically unmounted. As long as at least one dentry is revalidated every zfs_expire_snapshot/2 seconds the auto-unmount expiration timer will be extended. * Commit torvalds/linux@bafc9b7 caused snapshots auto-mounted by ZFS to be immediately unmounted when the dentry was revalidated. This was a consequence of ZFS invaliding all snapdir dentries to ensure that negative dentries didn't mask new snapshots. This patch modifies the behavior such that only negative dentries are invalidated. This solves the issue and may result in a performance improvement.
