* Add d_clear_d_op() compatibilityBrian Behlendorf2013-01-231-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Added d_clear_d_op() helper function which clears some flags and the registered dentry->d_op table. This is required because d_set_d_op() issues a warning when the dentry operations table is already set. For the .zfs control directory to work properly we must be able to override the default operations table and register custom .d_automount and .d_revalidate callbacks.

* Fix 'zfs rollback' on mounted file systemsBrian Behlendorf2013-01-171-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rolling back a mounted filesystem with open file handles and cached dentries+inodes never worked properly in ZoL. The major issue was that Linux provides no easy mechanism for modules to invalidate the inode cache for a file system. Because of this it was possible that an inode from the previous filesystem would not get properly dropped from the cache during rolling back. Then a new inode with the same inode number would be create and collide with the existing cached inode. Ideally this would trigger an VERIFY() but in practice the error wasn't handled and it would just NULL reference. Luckily, this issue can be resolved by sprucing up the existing Solaris zfs_rezget() functionality for the Linux VFS. The way it works now is that when a file system is rolled back all the cached inodes will be traversed and refetched from disk. If a version of the cached inode exists on disk the in-core copy will be updated accordingly. If there is no match for that object on disk it will be unhashed from the inode cache and marked as stale. This will effectively make the inode unfindable for lookups allowing the inode number to be immediately recycled. The inode will then only be accessible from the cached dentries. Subsequent dentry lookups which reference a stale inode will result in the dentry being invalidated. Once invalidated the dentry will drop its reference on the inode allowing it to be safely pruned from the cache. Special care is taken for negative dentries since they do not reference any inode. These dentires will be invalidate based on when they were added to the dentry cache. Entries added before the last rollback will be invalidate to prevent them from masking real files in the dataset. Two nice side effects of this fix are: * Removes the dependency on spl_invalidate_inodes(), it can now be safely removed from the SPL when we choose to do so. * zfs_znode_alloc() no longer requires a dentry to be passed. This effectively reverts this portition of the code to its upstream counterpart. The dentry is not instantiated more correctly in the Linux ZPL layer.

* Fix false ENOENT on snapshot control dentriesNed Bass2013-01-161-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lookups in the snapshot control directory for an existing snapshot fail with ENOENT if an earlier lookup failed before the snapshot was created. This is because the earlier lookup causes a negative dentry to be cached which is never invalidated. The bug can be reproduced as follows (the second ls should succeed): $ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory $ zfs snap tank@s $ ls /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s ls: cannot access /tank/.zfs/snapshot/s: No such file or directory To remedy this, always invalidate cached dentries in the snapshot control directory. Since these entries never exist on disk there is no significant performance penalty for the extra lookups. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1192
* Improve AF hard disk detectionBrian Behlendorf2012-11-151-5/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the bdev_physical_block_size() interface to determine the minimize write size which can be issued without incurring a read-modify-write operation. This is used to set the ashift correctly to prevent a performance penalty when using AF hard disks. Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because it's not uncommon for disks to misreport this value. For this reason you may still need to manually set your ashift with: zpool create -o ashift=12 ... The solution to this in the upstream Illumos source was to add a white list of known offending drives. Maintaining such a list will be a burden, but it still may be worth doing if we can detect a large number of these drives. This should be considered as future work.

* Revert "Improve AF hard disk detection"Brian Behlendorf2012-09-111-19/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 395350c85d9903beba43bac7ae79092ae25f1526 which accidentally introduced issue #955. Pools using AF drives which were originally created with a sector size of 512 bytes will now be correctly detected to have physical sector size of 4096. This is desirable for a new pool, however for an existing pool abruptly changing the sector size causes problems. For this reason, this change is being reverted until the additional logic can be added to detect the existing pool case. Existing pools must use the ashift size stored in the label regardless of what the disk reports. This is critical for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #955

* Set zvol discard_granularity to the volblocksize.Etienne Dechamps2012-08-072-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Linux 3.5 compat, end_writeback() changed to clear_inode()Richard Yao2012-07-232-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Move partition scanning from userspace to module.Etienne Dechamps2012-07-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

The exception is RHEL6.2 which has backported the d_automount patches. *) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected. However, this functionality is only available to root until zfs delegations are finished. * mkdir - create a snapshot * rmdir - destroy a snapshot * mv - rename a snapshot The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to be addressed by future commits. *) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37. This should be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before. *) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible. The majority of the ground work for this is complete.

* Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-092-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Dechamps2012-02-072-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2012-01-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 backing_device_info per-filesystemBrian Behlendorf2011-08-042-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* Linux compat 2.6.39: security_inode_init_security()Brian Behlendorf2011-07-012-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | The security_inode_init_security() function now takes an additional qstr argument which must be passed in from the dentry if available. Passing a NULL is safe when no qstr is available the relevant security checks will just be skipped. Closes #246 Closes #217 Closes #187
* Tear down and flush the mmap regionPrasad Joshi2011-06-272-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode eviction should unmap the pages associated with the inode. These pages should also be flushed to disk to avoid the data loss. Therefore, use truncate_setsize() in evict_inode() to release the pagecache. The API truncate_setsize() was added in 2.6.35 kernel. To ensure compatibility with the old kernel, the patch defines its own truncate_setsize function. Signed-off-by: Prasad Joshi <[email protected]> Closes #255
* Linux 2.6.37 compat, WRITE_FLUSH_FUABrian Behlendorf2011-06-171-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA, and WRITE_FLUSH_FUA flags have been introduced as a replacement for WRITE_BARRIER. This was done to allow richer semantics to be expressed to the block layer. It is the block layers responsibility to choose the correct way to implement these semantics. This change simply updates the bio's to use the new kernel API which should be absolutely safe. However, since ZFS depends entirely on this working as designed for correctness we do want to be careful. Closes #281
* Always check -Wno-unused-but-set-variable gcc supportBrian Behlendorf2011-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The previous commit 8a7e1ceefa430988c8f888ca708ab307333b4464 wasn't quite right. This check applies to both the user and kernel space build and as such we must make sure it runs regardless of what the --with-config option is set too. For example, if --with-config=kernel then the autoconf test does not run and we generate build warnings when compiling the kernel packages.
* Check for -Wno-unused-but-set-variable gcc supportBrian Behlendorf2011-06-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Gcc versions 4.3.2 and earlier do not support the compiler flag -Wno-unused-but-set-variable. This can lead to build failures on older Linux platforms such as Debian Lenny. Since this is an optional build argument this changes add a new autoconf check for the option. If it is supported by the installed version of gcc then it is used otherwise it is omited. See commit's 12c1acde76683108441827ae9affba1872f3afe5 and 79713039a2b6e0ed223d141b4a8a8455f282d2f2 for the reason the -Wno-unused-but-set-variable options was originally added.
* Handle NULL in nfsd .fsync() hookBrian Behlendorf2011-05-061-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | How nfsd handles .fsync() has been changed a couple of times in the recent kernels. But basically there are three cases we need to consider. Linux 2.6.12 - 2.6.33 * The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments * The nfsd will call .fsync() with a NULL file struct pointer. Linux 2.6.34 * The .fsync() hook takes 3 arguments * The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode() Linux 2.6.35 - 2.6.x * The .fsync() hook takes 2 arguments * The nfsd no longer calls .fsync() but instead used sync_inode() For once it looks like we've gotten lucky. The first two cases can actually be collased in to one if we stop using the file struct pointer entirely. Since the dentry is still passed in both cases this is possible. The last case can then be safely handled by unconditionally using the dentry in the file struct pointer now that we know the nfsd caller has been removed. Closes #230
* Fix 'zfs set volsize=N pool/dataset'Brian Behlendorf2011-05-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing a dataset which was not open. The objset_t stored in the zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed. To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg. The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel when the block device capacity changes. For 2.6.28 and newer kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected. For earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the device is next opened. This is a known limitation of older kernels. Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023 $ zpool create tank /tmp/zvol $ zfs create -V 500M tank/zd0 $ mkfs.ext3 /dev/zd0 $ mkdir /mnt/zd0 $ mount /dev/zd0 /mnt/zd0 $ df -h /mnt/zd0 $ zfs set volsize=800M tank/zd0 $ resize2fs /dev/zd0 $ df -h /mnt/zd0 Original-patch-by: Fajar A.

* Implemented NFS export_operations.Gunnar Beutner2011-04-291-0/+1
| | | | | Implemented the required NFS operations for exporting ZFS datasets using the in-kernel NFS daemon.
* Linux 2.6.28 compat, insert_inode_locked()Brian Behlendorf2011-03-222-1/+17
| | | | | | | Added insert_inode_locked() helper function, prior to this most callers used insert_inode_hash(). The older method doesn't check for collisions in the inode_hashtable but it still acceptible for use. Fallback to using insert_inode_hash() when insert_inode_locked() is unavailable.
* Linux 2.6.27 compat, blk_queue_stackable()Brian Behlendorf2011-03-221-0/+11
| | | | | | | The blk_queue_stackable() queue flag was added in 2.6.27 to handle dm stacking drivers. Prior to this request stacking drivers were detected by checking (q->request_fn == NULL), for earlier kernels we revert to this legacy behavior.
* Add init scriptsBrian Behlendorf2011-03-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot a basic init script is needed. Unfortunately, every distribution has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things. Rather than write one very complicated portable init script, which would be invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway. I have instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific init scripts. The correct init script for your distribution will be selected by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT. During 'make install' the correct script for your system will be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the usual /etc/init.d/zfs location. Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init script. Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their approved versions to be included in the project. This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all opposed to add that sort of thing.
* Add xvattr supportBrian Behlendorf2011-03-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the removal of the minimal xvattr support from the spl this support needs to be replaced in the zfs package. This is fairly easily accomplished by directly adding portions of the sys/vnode.h header from OpenSolaris. These xvattr additions have been placed in the sys/xvattr.h header file and included as needed where simply a sys/vnode.h was included before. In additon to the xvattr types and helper macros two functions were also included. The xva_init() and xva_getxoptattr() functions were included as static inline functions in xvattr.h. They are simple enough and it was simpler to place them here rather than in their own .c file.

* Linux 2.6.38 compat, blkdev_get_by_path()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-232-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | The open_bdev_exclusive() function has been replaced (again) by the more generic blkdev_get_by_path() function. Additionally, the counterpart function close_bdev_exclusive() has been replaced by blkdev_put(). Because these functions are more generic versions of the functions they replaced the compatibility macro must add the FMODE_EXCL mask to ensure they are exclusive. Closes #114
* Linux 2.6.x compat, blkdev_compat.hBrian Behlendorf2011-02-231-0/+323
| | | | | | | | | | For legacy reasons the zvol.c and vdev_disk.c Linux compatibility code ended up in sys/blkdev.h and sys/vdev_disk.h headers. While there are worse places for this code to live it should be in a linux/blkdev_compat.h header. This change moves this block device Linux compatibility code in to the linux/blkdev_compat.h header and updates all the correct #include locations. This is not a functional change or bug fix, it is just code cleanup.
* Linux 2.6.36 compat, sops->evict_inode()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | The new prefered inteface for evicting an inode from the inode cache is the ->evict_inode() callback. It replaces both the ->delete_inode() and ->clear_inode() callbacks which were previously used for this.
* Linux 2.6.33 compat, get/set xattr callbacksBrian Behlendorf2011-02-111-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | The xattr handler prototypes were sanitized with the idea being that the same handlers could be used for multiple methods. The result of this was the inode type was changes to a dentry, and both the get() and set() hooks had a handler_flags argument added. The list() callback was similiarly effected but no autoconf check was added because we do not use the list() callback.
