* Remove unused sa_update_from_cb()cao2016-12-011-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | It looks like this was functionality which was added in the original SA implementation and then never needed. It can be safely removed now and easily added back if we find a use for it. Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: cao.xuewen <[email protected]> Closes #5440
* Prevent SA length overflowNed Bass2015-12-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function sa_update() accepts a 32-bit length parameter and assigns it to a 16-bit field in sa_bulk_attr_t, potentially truncating the passed-in value. This could lead to corrupt system attribute (SA) records getting written to the pool. Add a VERIFY to sa_update() to detect cases where overflow would occur. The SA length is limited to 16-bit values by the on-disk format defined by sa_hdr_phys_t. The function zfs_sa_set_xattr() is vulnerable to this bug if the unpacked nvlist of xattrs is less than 64k in size but the packed size is greater than 64k. Fix this by appropriately checking the size of the packed nvlist before calling sa_update(). Add error handling to zpl_xattr_set_sa() to keep the cached list of SA-based xattrs consistent with the data on disk. Lastly, zfs_sa_set_xattr() calls dmu_tx_abort() on an assigned transaction if sa_update() returns an error, but the DMU only allows unassigned transactions to be aborted. Wrap the sa_update() call in a VERIFY0, remove the transaction abort, and call dmu_tx_commit() unconditionally. This is consistent practice with other callers of sa_update().

* Revert "SA spill block cache"Brian Behlendorf2015-01-161-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SA spill_cache was originally introduced to avoid the need to perform large kmem or vmem allocations. Instead a small dedicated cache of preallocated SA buffers was kept. This solution was viable while the maximum block size was limited to 128K. But with the planned increase of the maximum block size to 16M callers need to migrate to the zio_buf_alloc(). However, they should be aware this interface is expected to change again once the zio buffers are fully backed by scatter-gather lists. Alternately, if the callers know these buffers will never be large or be infrequently accessed they may kmem_alloc() or vmem_alloc() the needed temporary space. This change has the additional benegit of bringing the code back inline with the upstream Illumos source. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Add sa_spill_rele() interfaceBrian Behlendorf2012-03-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a SA interface which allows us to release the spill block from a SA handle without destroying the handle. This is useful because we can then ensure that a copy of the dirty spill block is not made at sync time due to the extra hold. Susequent calls to sa_update() or sa_lookup() with transparently refetch the spill block dbuf from the ARC hash. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Implement SA based xattrsBrian Behlendorf2011-11-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However, it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks. 1) Lookup the dnode object. 2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object. 3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory. To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3 and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small and this approach works well. The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa' is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes. This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be stored using the traditional directory approach. This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4 and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file the performance improvements are even greater because all of the xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached. However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms which do not support this feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Time in seconds to get/set one xattr of N bytes on 100,000 files ------+--------------------------------+------------------------------ | setxattr | getxattr bytes | ext4 xfs zfs-dir zfs-sa | ext4 xfs zfs-dir zfs-sa ------+--------------------------------+------------------------------ 1 | 2.33 31.88 21.50 4.57 | 2.35 2.64 6.29 2.43 32 | 2.79 30.68 21.98 4.60 | 2.44 2.59 6.78 2.48 256 | 3.25 31.99 21.36 5.92 | 2.32 2.71 6.22 3.14 1024 | 3.30 32.61 22.83 8.45 | 2.40 2.79 6.24 3.27 4096 | 3.57 317.46 22.52 10.73 | 2.78 28.62 6.90 3.94 16384 | n/a 2342.39 34.30 19.20 | n/a 45.44 145.90 7.55 65536 | n/a 2941.39 128.15 131.32* | n/a 141.92 256.85 262.12* Legend: * ext4 - Stock RHEL6.1 ext4 mounted with '-o user_xattr'. * xfs - Stock RHEL6.1 xfs mounted with default options. * zfs-dir - Directory based xattrs only. * zfs-sa - Prefer SAs but spill in to directories as needed, a trailing * indicates overflow in to directories occured.

* Support custom build directories and move includesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-081-0/+170
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.
