| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 4757 ZFS embedded-data block pointers ("zero block compression") 4913 zfs release should not be subject to space checks Reviewed by: Adam Leventhal <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Max Grossman <[email protected]> Reviewed by: George Wilson <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Christopher Siden <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Dan McDonald <[email protected]> Approved by: Dan McDonald <[email protected]> References: https://www.illumos.org/issues/4757 https://www.illumos.org/issues/4913 https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/5d7b4d4 Porting notes: For compatibility with the fastpath code the zio_done() function needed to be updated. Because embedded-data block pointers do not require DVAs to be allocated the associated vdevs will not be marked and therefore should not be unmarked.

* Replace zpool_events_next() "block" parm w/ "flags"Chris Dunlap2014-03-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zpool_events_next() can be called in blocking mode by specifying a non-zero value for the "block" parameter. However, the design of the ZFS Event Daemon (zed) requires additional functionality from zpool_events_next(). Instead of adding additional arguments to the function, it makes more sense to use flags that can be bitwise-or'd together. This commit replaces the zpool_events_next() int "block" parameter with an unsigned bitwise "flags" parameter. It also defines ZEVENT_NONE to specify the default behavior. Since non-blocking mode can be specified with the existing ZEVENT_NONBLOCK flag, the default behavior becomes blocking mode. This, in effect, inverts the previous use of the "block" parameter. Existing callers of zpool_events_next() have been modified to check for the ZEVENT_NONBLOCK flag.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_SEEK ioctl was added to allow user space callers to seek around the zevent file descriptor by EID. When a specific EID is passed and it exists the cursor will be positioned there. If the EID is no longer cached by the kernel ENOENT is returned. The caller may also pass ZEVENT_SEEK_START or ZEVENT_SEEK_END to seek to those respective locations.

* Add generic errata infrastructureBrian Behlendorf2014-02-211-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From time to time it may be necessary to inform the pool administrator about an errata which impacts their pool. These errata will by shown to the administrator through the 'zpool status' and 'zpool import' output as appropriate. The errata must clearly describe the issue detected, how the pool is impacted, and what action should be taken to resolve the situation. Additional information for each errata will be provided at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER. To accomplish the above this patch adds the required infrastructure to allow the kernel modules to notify the utilities that an errata has been detected. This is done through the ZPOOL_CONFIG_ERRATA uint64_t which has been added to the pool configuration nvlist. To add a new errata the following changes must be made: * A new errata identifier must be assigned by adding a new enum value to the zpool_errata_t type. New enums must be added to the end to preserve the existing ordering. * Code must be added to detect the issue. This does not strictly need to be done at pool import time but doing so will make the errata visible in 'zpool import' as well as 'zpool status'. Once detected the spa->spa_errata member should be set to the new enum. * If possible code should be added to clear the spa->spa_errata member once the errata has been resolved. * The show_import() and status_callback() functions must be updated to include an informational message describing the errata. This should include an action message describing what an administrator should do to address the errata. * The documentation at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER must be updated to describe the errata. This space can be used to provide as much additional information as needed to fully describe the errata. A link to this documentation will be automatically generated in the output of 'zpool import' and 'zpool status'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change introduces zpool_get_prop_literal. It's an expanded version of zpool_get_prop taking one additional boolean parameter. With this parameter set to B_FALSE it will behave identically to zpool_get_prop. Setting it to B_TRUE will return full precision numbers for the following properties: ZPOOL_PROP_SIZE ZPOOL_PROP_ALLOCATED ZPOOL_PROP_FREE ZPOOL_PROP_FREEING ZPOOL_PROP_EXPANDSZ ZPOOL_PROP_ASHIFT Also introduced is a wrapper function for zpool_get_prop making it use zpool_get_prop_literal in the background.

* Increase default udev wait timeBrian Behlendorf2013-10-221-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a new pool, or adding/replacing a disk in an existing pool, partition tables will be automatically created on the devices. Under normal circumstances it will take less than a second for udev to create the expected device files under /dev/. However, it has been observed that if the system is doing heavy IO concurrently udev may take far longer. If you also throw in some cheap dodgy hardware it may take even longer. To prevent zpool commands from failing due to this the default wait time for udev is being increased to 30 seconds. This will have no impact on normal usage, the increase timeout should only be noticed if your udev rules are incorrectly configured. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1646

* Allow 'zpool replace' to use short device namesBrian Behlendorf2012-10-221-16/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'zpool replace' command would fail when given a short name because unlike on other platforms the short name cannot be deterministically expanded to a single path. Multiple path prefixes must be checked and in addition the partition suffix for whole disks is determined by the prefix. To handle this complexity a zfs_strcmp_pathname() function was added which takes either a short or fully qualified device name. Short names will be expanded using the prefixes in the default import search path, or the ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable if it's defined. All posible expansions are then compared against the comparison path. Care is taken to strip redundant slashes to ensure legitimate matches are not missed. In the context of this work the existing zfs_resolve_shortname() function was extended to consider the ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH when set. The zfs_append_partition() interface was also simplified to take only a single buffer. The vast majority of these changes rework existing Linux specific code which was originally written to accomidate udev. However, there is some minimal cleanup which removes Illumos specific code. This was done to improve readability but the basic flow and intent of the upstream code was maintained. These changes are the logical conclusion of the previos work to adjust the 'zpool import' search behavior, see commit 44867b6a.

* Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev()Brian Behlendorf2011-07-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback in the file_system_type structure. When using the new interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper. Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing implementation because we currently save this pointer in the super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options. This needed to be done originally to allow commands like 'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However, under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated. Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux. This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which have been reported. This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'. This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing them on to the file system itself. Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

* Print mount/umount errorsBrian Behlendorf2011-03-091-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we are dependent of the system mount/umount utilities to ensure correct mtab locking, we should not suppress their error output. During a successful mount/umount they will be silent, but during a failure the error message they print is the only sure way to know why a mount failed. This is because the (u)mount(8) return code does not contain the result of the system call issued. The only way to clearly idenify why thing failed is to rely on the error message printed by the tool. Longer term once libmount is available we can issue the mount/umount system calls within the tool and still be ensured correct mtab locking. Closed #107
* Open up libzfs_run_process/libzfs_load_moduleBrian Behlendorf2011-01-281-0/+6

* Add helper functions for manipulating device namesNed Bass2010-10-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds two helper functions for working with vdev names and paths. zfs_resolve_shortname() resolves a shorthand vdev name to an absolute path of a file in /dev, /dev/disk/by-id, /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-path, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/zpool. This was previously done only in the function is_shorthand_path(), but we need a general helper function to implement shorthand names for additional zpool subcommands like remove. is_shorthand_path() is accordingly updated to call the helper function. There is a minor change in the way zfs_resolve_shortname() tests if a file exists. is_shorthand_path() effectively used open() and stat64() to test for file existence, since its scope includes testing if a device is a whole disk and collecting file status information. zfs_resolve_shortname(), on the other hand, only uses access() to test for existence and leaves it to the caller to perform any additional file operations. This seemed like the most general and lightweight approach, and still preserves the semantics of is_shorthand_path(). zfs_append_partition() appends a partition suffix to a device path. This should be used to generate the name of a whole disk as it is stored in the vdev label. The user-visible names of whole disks do not contain the partition information, while the name in the vdev label does. The code was lifted from the function make_disks(), which now just calls the helper function. Again, having a helper function to do this supports general handling of shorthand names in the user interface. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Support custom build directories and move includesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-081-0/+716
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can build the project various different ways while making changes in a single source tree. For example, this project is designed to work on various different Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This means that changes need to verified on each of those supported distributions perferably before the change is committed to the public git repo. Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier. I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a change to the source base I suspect may break things I can concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each in their own subdirectory. wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz cd zfs-x-y-z ------------------------- run concurrently ---------------------- <ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system> mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6 cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6 ../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure make make make make make check make check make check make check This change also moves many of the include headers from individual incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single top level include directory. This has the advantage of making the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
