* Remove autoconf check for CONFIG_PREEMPTPrakash Surya2012-08-271-19/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | The autoconf macro which failed if CONFIG_PREEMPT was set in the kernel config was removed. With the inclusion of a few previous patches targeting support for preempt enabled kernels, it is now safe to run with this kernel config option enabled.

* Support building a zfs-modules-dkms sub packagePrakash Surya2012-08-082-3/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds support for building a zfs-modules-dkms sub package built around Dynamic Kernel Module Support. This is to allow building packages using the DKMS infrastructure which is intended to ease the burden of kernel version changes, upgrades, etc. By default zfs-modules-dkms-* sub package will be built as part of the 'make rpm' target. Alternately, you can build only the DKMS module package using the 'make rpm-dkms' target. Examples: # To build packaged binaries as well as a dkms packages $ ./configure && make rpm # To build only the packaged binary utilities and dkms packages $ ./configure && make rpm-utils rpm-dkms Note: Only the RHEL 5/6, CHAOS 5, and Fedora distributions are supported for building the dkms sub package.

* Add '--with-spl-timeout' optionPrakash Surya2012-08-081-15/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When checking for the SPL Module.symvers file, a timeout can now be passed in which will pause the configure step while it waits for this file to be generated. By default, the configure behavior is unchanged as a timeout of 0 is used. If a positive number of seconds is passed, configure will wait that number of seconds for the Module.symvers file before moving on. The main motivation for this change was to support parallel execution of './configure && make' for the SPL and ZFS packages in preparation of supporting DKMS based packages.

* Set zvol discard_granularity to the volblocksize.Etienne Dechamps2012-08-072-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and alignment can be made efficiently. In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests efficiently: indeed, it is unable to free a part of a block. It will write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and inefficient (see dnode_free_range). With this patch, zvol block devices expose volblocksize as their discard granularity, so the upper layer is aware that it's not supposed to send discard requests smaller than volblocksize.

* When checking for symbol exports, try compiling.Etienne Dechamps2012-07-2612-92/+173
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new autoconf function: ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL. This new function does the following: - Call LINUX_TRY_COMPILE with the specified parameters. - If unsuccessful, return false. - If successful and we're configuring with --enable-linux-builtin, return true. - Else, call CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT with the specified parameters and return the result. All calls to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT are converted to LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL so that the tests work even when configuring for builtin on a kernel which doesn't have loadable module support, or hasn't been built yet.

* Fake modpost stage for LINUX_COMPILE.Etienne Dechamps2012-07-261-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when building a test case, we're compiling an entire Linux module from beginning to end. This includes the MODPOST stage, which generates a "conftest.mod.c" file with some boilerplate module declaration code. This poses a problem when configuring for built-in on kernels which have loadable module support disabled. In this case conftest.mod.c is referencing disabled code, resulting in a compilation failure, thus breaking the tests. This patch fixes the issue by faking the modpost stage when the --enable-linux-builtin option is provided. It does so by forcing the modpost command to be /bin/true, and using an empty conftest.mod.c file. The test module still compiles fine, although the result isn't loadable, but we don't really care at this point. Note it is important to preserve the modpost stage when building out of tree. The ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BLK_END_REQUEST, ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BLK_QUEUE_FLUSH, and ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BLK_RQ_BYTES configure checks all depend on it to identify GPL-only symbols.

* Make configure builtin-aware.Etienne Dechamps2012-07-262-6/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new option to configure: --enable-linux-builtin. When this option is used, the following happens: - Compilation of kernel modules is disabled. - A failure to find UTS_RELEASE is followed by a suggestion to run "make prepare" on the kernel source tree. This patch also adds a new test which tries to compile an empty module as a basic toolchain sanity test. If it fails and the option was specified, the error is followed by a suggestion to run "make scripts" on the kernel source tree.

* Linux 3.5 compat, end_writeback() changed to clear_inode()Richard Yao2012-07-232-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The end_writeback() function was changed by moving the call to inode_sync_wait() earlier in to evict(). This effecitvely changes the ordering of the sync but it does not impact the details of the zfs implementation. However, as part of this change end_writeback() was renamed to clear_inode() to reflect the new semantics. This change does impact us and clear_inode() now maps to end_writeback() for kernels prior to 3.5.

* Fix build failures on PaX/GRSecurity patched kernelsRichard Yao2012-07-173-4/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gentoo Hardened kernels include the PaX/GRSecurity patches. They use a dialect of C that relies on a GCC plugin. In particular, struct file_operations has been marked do_const in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect, which causes GCC to consider all instances of it as const. This caused failures in the autotools checks and the ZFS source code. To address this, we modify the autotools checks to take into account differences between the PaX C dialect and the regular C dialect. We also modify struct zfs_acl's z_ops member to be a pointer to a function pointer table. Lastly, we modify zpl_put_link() to address a PaX change to the function prototype of nd_get_link(). This avoids compiler errors in the PaX/GRSecurity dialect. Note that the change in zpl_put_link() causes a warning that becomes a build failure when debugging is enabled.

* Move partition scanning from userspace to module.Etienne Dechamps2012-07-173-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in EBUSY. This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the BLKRRPART call. Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still call BLKRRPART from userspace. This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37 and latter kernels. The build system has been updated to detect this, but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels. This means that online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels. However, it will still be possible to expand the vdev offline. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #808
* Linux 3.4 compat, d_make_root() replaces d_alloc_root()Richard Yao2012-06-112-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | torvalds/linux@adc0e91ab142abe93f5b0d7980ada8a7676231fe introduced introduced d_make_root() as a replacement for d_alloc_root(). Further commits appear to have removed d_alloc_root() from the Linux source tree. This causes the following failure: error: implicit declaration of function 'd_alloc_root' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] To correct this we update the code to use the current d_make_root() interface for readability. Then we introduce an autotools check to determine if d_make_root() is available. If it isn't then we define some compatibility logic which used the older d_alloc_root() interface.

* Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-092-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning. It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to shrink instead of just grow. We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we want. Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably a good idea for a future improvement. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>

* Improve ZVOL queue behavior.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-076-0/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to take better decisions about write merging and ordering. Detailed rationale: - max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the upper layer decide. - max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide. - physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be slow. - The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device. Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

* Fix synchronicity for ZVOLs.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-072-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed, "sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h: WRITE: A normal async write. Device will be plugged. WRITE_SYNC: Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO shortly. WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush. WRITE_FUA: Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on non-volatile media on completion. In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs. The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set. Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

* Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrinkBrian Behlendorf2012-01-112-0/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #466 Closes #292

* Add make rule for building Arch Linux packagesPrakash Surya2011-12-142-0/+84
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added the necessary build infrastructure for building packages compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run: $ ./configure $ make pkg # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well on the Arch Linux machine to create two binary packages compatible with the pacman package manager, one for the zfs userland utilities and another for the zfs kernel modules. The new packages can then be installed by running: # pacman -U $package.pkg.tar.xz In addition, source-only packages suitable for an Arch Linux chroot environment or remote builder can also be build using the 'sarch' make rule. NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx. As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball is not being downloaded from an outside source.

* Fix configure tests to play nice with GCC 4.6Prakash Surya2011-11-2911-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | As of GCC 4.6, specific kernel 2.6.32 header files do not compile cleanly without warnings. One specific example of this is the arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h file. Thus, a few of the configure tests were getting hung up on this and the '-Wno-unsued-but-set-variables' compile option had to be introduced.

* In autoconf v2.68, AC_LANG_PROGRAM must be quotedPrakash Surya2011-11-284-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change updates the AC_LANG_PROGRAM autoconf macro invocations to be wrapped in quotes. As of autoconf version 2.68, the quotes are necessary to prevent warnings from appearing. Specifically, the autoconf v2.68 Forward Porting Notes specifies: It is important to note that you need to ensure that the call to AC_LANG_SOURCE is quoted and not expanded, otherwise that will cause the warning to appear nonetheless. Finally, because of the additional quoting we can drop the extra quotas used by the ZFS_AC_CONFIG_USER_STACK_GUARD autoconf check. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #464
* Linux 3.1 compat, fops->fsync()Brian Behlendorf2011-11-102-9/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux 3.1 kernel updated the fops->fsync() callback yet again. They now pass the requested range and delegate the responsibility for calling filemap_write_and_wait_range() to the callback. In addition imutex is no longer held by the caller and the callback is responsible for taking the lock if required. This commit updates the code to provide a zpl_fsync() function for the updated API. Implementations for the previous two APIs are also maintained for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #445
* Suppress packaging warningBrian Behlendorf2011-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only under Ubuntu Lucid the rpm packaging step mistakenly adds the following files twice to the package because of the /lib naming convention. This is harmless but results in a warning which the buildot flags as a failure. Suppress this warning. warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/rules.d warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/rules.d/60-zpool.rules warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/rules.d/90-zfs.rules warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/sas_switch_id warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/zpool_id warning: File listed twice: /lib/udev/zvol_id Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Simplify BDI integrationBrian Behlendorf2011-11-082-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the code to use the bdi_setup_and_register() helper to simplify the bdi integration code. The updated code now just registers the bdi during mount and destroys it during unmount. The only complication is that for 2.6.32 - 2.6.33 kernels the helper wasn't available so in these cases the zfs code must provide it. Luckily the bdi_setup_and_register() function is trivial.

* Convert 'if' statements to AS_IF in kernel.m4Prakash Surya2011-09-061-77/+77

* Fix minor autoconf error message inconsistenciesPrakash Surya2011-09-061-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few of the autoconf error messages were inconsistent with the rest of the build system. To be specific, the inconsistencies addressed by this commit are the following: * The second line of the error message for the CONFIG_PREEMPT check was missing it's third asterisk. * A few of the error messages were prefixed by two tabs, whereas the majority of error messages are only prefixed by a single tab.

* Buildbot suppression rulesBrian Behlendorf2011-08-191-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | The warnings listed in the suppression file will be suppressed and not flagged during regular buildbot builds. These warnings are expected, harmless, and can obscure real issues unless they are suppressed. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Improve HAVE_EVICT_INODE checkBrian Behlendorf2011-08-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The hardened gentoo kernel defines all of the super block operation callbacks as const. This prevents the autoconf test from assigning the callback and results in a false negative. By moving the assignment in to the declaration we can avoid this issue and get a correct result for this patched kernel. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #296
* Move udev rules from /etc/udev to /lib/udevKyle Fuller2011-08-082-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change moves the default install location for the zfs udev rules from /etc/udev/ to /lib/udev/. The correct convention is for rules provided by a package to be installed in /lib/udev/. The /etc/udev/ directory is reserved for custom rules or local overrides. Additionally, this patch cleans up some abuse of the bindir install location by adding a udevdir and udevruledir install directories. This allows us to revert to the default bin install location. The udev install directories can be set with the following new options. --with-udevdir=DIR install udev helpers [EPREFIX/lib/udev] --with-udevruledir=DIR install udev rules [UDEVDIR/rules.d] Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #356
* Add backing_device_info per-filesystemBrian Behlendorf2011-08-042-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time now the kernel has been moving away from using the pdflush daemon to write 'old' dirty pages to disk. The primary reason for this is because the pdflush daemon is single threaded and can be a limiting factor for performance. Since pdflush sequentially walks the dirty inode list for each super block any delay in processing can slow down dirty page writeback for all filesystems. The replacement for pdflush is called bdi (backing device info). The bdi system involves creating a per-filesystem control structure each with its own private sets of queues to manage writeback. The advantage is greater parallelism which improves performance and prevents a single filesystem from slowing writeback to the others. For a long time both systems co-existed in the kernel so it wasn't strictly required to implement the bdi scheme. However, as of Linux 2.6.36 kernels the pdflush functionality has been retired. Since ZFS already bypasses the page cache for most I/O this is only an issue for mmap(2) writes which must go through the page cache. Even then adding this missing support for newer kernels was overlooked because there are other mechanisms which can trigger writeback. However, there is one critical case where not implementing the bdi functionality can cause problems. If an application handles a page fault it can enter the balance_dirty_pages() callpath. This will result in the application hanging until the number of dirty pages in the system drops below the dirty ratio. Without a registered backing_device_info for the filesystem the dirty pages will not get written out. Thus the application will hang. As mentioned above this was less of an issue with older kernels because pdflush would eventually write out the dirty pages. This change adds a backing_device_info structure to the zfs_sb_t which is already allocated per-super block. It is then registered when the filesystem mounted and unregistered on unmount. It will not be registered for mounted snapshots which are read-only. This change will result in flush-<pool> thread being dynamically created and destroyed per-mounted filesystem for writeback.

* Fix the configure CONFIG_* option detectionBrian Behlendorf2011-07-221-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest kernels no longer define AUTOCONF_INCLUDED which was being used to detect the new style autoconf.h kernel configure options. This results in the CONFIG_* checks always failing incorrectly for newer kernels. The fix for this is a simplification of the testing method. Rather than attempting to explicitly include to renamed config header. It is simpler to unconditionally include <linux/module.h> which must pick up the correctly named header.
