* Add make rule for building Arch Linux packagesPrakash Surya2011-12-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Simplify BDI integrationBrian Behlendorf2011-11-082-16/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Autogen refresh for udev changesBrian Behlendorf2011-08-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | Run autogen.sh using the same autotools versions as upstream: * autoconf-2.63 * automake-1.11.1 * libtool-2.2.6b
* 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.

* Provide a rc.d script for archlinuxzfs-0.6.0-rc5Kyle Fuller2011-07-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Unlike most other Linux distributions archlinux installs its init scripts in /etc/rc.d insead of /etc/init.d. This commit provides an archlinux rc.d script for zfs and extends the build infrastructure to ensure it get's installed in the correct place.

* 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.

* 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.
* Linux 2.6.35 compat, fops->fsync()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-113-5/+52
| | | | | | | | | The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take 3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.
* Linux 2.6.35 compat, const struct xattr_handlerBrian Behlendorf2011-02-103-0/+45
| | | | | | | The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.
* Add Linux Compat InfrastructureBrian Behlendorf2011-02-103-0/+619
Lay the initial ground work for a include/linux/ compatibility directory. This was less critical in the past because the bulk of the ZFS code consumes the Solaris API via the SPL. This API was stable and the bulk Linux API differences were handled in the SPL. However, with the addition of a full Posix layer written directly against the Linux APIs we are going to need more compatibility code. It makes sense that all this code should be cleanly located in one place. Subsequent patches should move the existing zvol and vdev_disk compatibility code in to this directory.
