* Linux 3.4 compat, d_make_root() replaces d_alloc_root()Richard Yao2012-06-117-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

To prevent a compiler warning an autoconf check was added to detect the API change and then correctly set a zpl_umode_t typedef. There is no functional change.

* Add --enable-debug-dmu-tx configure optionBrian Behlendorf2012-03-237-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow rigorous (and expensive) tx validation to be enabled/disabled indepentantly from the standard zfs debugging. When enabled these checks ensure that all txs are constructed properly and that a dbuf is never dirtied without taking the correct tx hold. This checking is particularly helpful when adding new dmu consumers like Lustre. However, for established consumers such as the zpl with no known outstanding tx construction problems this is just overhead. --enable-debug-dmu-tx - Enable/disable validation of each tx as --disable-debug-dmu-tx it is constructed. By default validation is disabled due to performance concerns. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Add .zfs control directoryBrian Behlendorf2012-03-2213-18/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for the .zfs control directory. This was accomplished by leveraging as much of the existing ZFS infrastructure as posible and updating it for Linux as required. The bulk of the core functionality is now all there with the following limitations. *) The .zfs/snapshot directory automount support requires a 2.6.37 or newer kernel. 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. However, finishing this work will require resolving some lingering integration issues with the Linux NFS kernel server. *) The .zfs/shares directory exists but no futher smb functionality has yet been implemented.

* Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-097-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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]>
* Support the fallocate() file operation.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-097-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently only the (FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) flag combination is supported, since it's the only one that matches the behavior of zfs_space(). This makes it pretty much useless in its current form, but it's a start. To support other flag combinations we would need to modify zfs_space() to make it more flexible, or emulate the desired functionality in zpl_fallocate().

* Improve ZVOL queue behavior.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-077-0/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Dechamps2012-02-077-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Cleanup ZFS debug infrastructureBrian Behlendorf2012-02-022-39/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically the internal zfs debug infrastructure has been scattered throughout the code. Since we expect to start making more use of this code this patch performs some cleanup. * Consolidate the zfs debug infrastructure in the zfs_debug.[ch] files. This includes moving the zfs_flags and zfs_recover variables, plus moving the zfs_panic_recover() function. * Remove the existing unused functionality in zfs_debug.c and replace it with code which correctly utilized the spl logging infrastructure. * Remove the __dprintf() function from zfs_ioctl.c. This is dead code, the dprintf() functionality in the kernel relies on the spl log support. * Remove dprintf() from hdr_recl().

* Increase link count limit to 2^31-1Brian Behlendorf2012-01-131-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Originally, the per-file link limit was set to 65536 because the exact Linux VFS limit was unclear. Internally ZFS is able to support 64-bit link counts.

* Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrinkBrian Behlendorf2012-01-119-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* Illumos #734: Use taskq_dispatch_ent() interfaceGarrett D'Amore2011-12-142-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been observed that some of the hottest locks are those of the zio taskqs. Contention on these locks can limit the rate at which zios are dispatched which limits performance. This upstream change from Illumos uses new interface to the taskqs which allow them to utilize a prealloc'ed taskq_ent_t. This removes the need to perform an allocation at dispatch time while holding the contended lock. This has the effect of improving system performance.

* Implement SA based xattrsBrian Behlendorf2011-11-285-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Improve meta data performanceBrian Behlendorf2011-11-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Profiling the system during meta data intensive workloads such as creating/removing millions of files, revealed that the system was cpu bound. A large fraction of that cpu time was being spent waiting on the virtual address space spin lock. It turns out this was caused by certain heavily used kmem_caches being backed by virtual memory. By default a kmem_cache will dynamically determine the type of memory used based on the object size. For large objects virtual memory is usually preferable and for small object physical memory is a better choice. See the spl_slab_alloc() function for a longer discussion on this. However, there is a certain amount of gray area when defining a 'large' object. For the following caches it turns out they were just over the line: * dnode_cache * zio_cache * zio_link_cache * zio_buf_512_cache * zfs_data_buf_512_cache Now because we know there will be a lot of churn in these caches, and because we know the slabs will still be reasonably sized. We can safely request with the KMC_KMEM flag that the caches be backed with physical memory addresses. This entirely avoids the need to serialize on the virtual address space lock. As a bonus this also reduces our vmalloc usage which will be good for 32-bit kernels which have a very small virtual address space. It will also probably be good for interactive performance since unrelated processes could also block of this same global lock. Finally, we may see less cpu time being burned in the arc_reclaim and txg_sync_threads. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #258

* Make libefi-created GPT compatible with gptfdiskZachary Bedell2011-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GPT's created by libefi set the HeaderSize attribute in the GPT header to 512 -- size of the GPT header INCLUDING the 420 padding bytes at the end. Most other tools set the size to 92 -- size of the actual header itself excluding the padding. Most tools check the recorded HeaderSize when verifying CRC, but gptfdisk hardcodes 92 and thus reports CRC verification problems for full-disk vdevs created IE with `zpool create pool sdc`. This commit changes libefi's behavior for GPT creation and also fixes several edge cases where libefi's behavior was similar (though in an incompatible manner) to gptfdisk. Libefi assumed HeaderSize was always 512 even if the GPT recorded a different value. Sanity checks of the GPT headersize read from disk were added before applying checksum calculation -- this will prevent segfault in cases of bogus on-disk values. Zpools created with the resuling libefi are verified as correct both by parted and gptfdisk. Also pool have been tested to import correctly on ZFS on Linux as well as Solaris Express 11 livecd.

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.

* Cleanup mmap(2) writesBrian Behlendorf2011-08-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the existing implementation of .writepage()/zpl_putpage() was functional it was not entirely correct. In particular, it would move dirty pages in to a clean state simply after copying them in to the ARC cache. This would result in the pages being lost if the system were to crash enough though the Linux VFS believed them to be safe on stable storage. Since at the moment virtually all I/O, except mmap(2), bypasses the page cache this isn't as bad as it sounds. However, as hopefully start using the page cache more getting this right becomes more important so it's good to improve this now. This patch takes a big step in that direction by updating the code to correctly move dirty pages through a writeback phase before they are marked clean. When a dirty page is copied in to the ARC it will now be set in writeback and a completion callback is registered with the transaction. The page will stay in writeback until the dmu runs the completion callback indicating the page is on stable storage. At this point the page can be safely marked clean. This process is normally entirely asynchronous and will be repeated for every dirty page. This may initially sound inefficient but most of these pages will end up in a few txgs. That means when they are eventually written to disk they should be nicely batched. However, there is room for improvement. It may still be desirable to batch up the pages in to larger writes for the dmu. This would reduce the number of callbacks and small 4k buffer required by the ARC. Finally, if the caller requires that the I/O be done synchronously by setting WB_SYNC_ALL or if ZFS_SYNC_ALWAYS is set. Then the I/O will trigger a zil_commit() to flush the data to stable storage. At which point the registered callbacks will be run leaving the date safe of disk and marked clean before returning from .writepage. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>

* Improve fstat(2) performanceBrian Behlendorf2011-07-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is at most a factor of 3x performance improvement to be had by using the Linux generic_fillattr() helper. However, to use it safely we need to ensure the values in a cached inode are kept rigerously up to date. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for the blksize, blocks, and atime fields. At the moment the authoritative values are still stored in the znode. This patch introduces an optimized zfs_getattr_fast() call. The idea is to use the up to date values from the inode and the blksize, block, and atime fields from the znode. At some latter date we should be able to strictly use the inode values and further improve performance. The remaining overhead in the zfs_getattr_fast() call can be attributed to having to take the znode mutex. This overhead is unavoidable until the inode is kept strictly up to date. The the careful reader will notice the we do not use the customary ZFS_ENTER()/ZFS_EXIT() macros. These macro's are designed to ensure the filesystem is not torn down in the middle of an operation. However, in this case the VFS is holding a reference on the active inode so we know this is impossible. =================== Performance Tests ======================== This test calls the fstat(2) system call 10,000,000 times on an open file description in a tight loop. The test results show the zfs stat(2) performance is now only 22% slower than ext4. This is a 2.5x improvement and there is a clear long term plan to get to parity with ext4. filesystem | test-1 test-2 test-3 | average | times-ext4 --------------+-------------------------+---------+----------- ext4 | 7.785s 7.899s 7.284s | 7.656s | 1.000x zfs-0.6.0-rc4 | 24.052s 22.531s 23.857s | 23.480s | 3.066x zfs-faststat | 9.224s 9.398s 9.485s | 9.369s | 1.223x The second test is to run 'du' of a copy of the /usr tree which contains 110514 files. The test is run multiple times both using both a cold cache (/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) and a hot cache. As expected this change signigicantly improved the zfs hot cache performance and doesn't quite bring zfs to parity with ext4. A little surprisingly the zfs cold cache performance is better than ext4. This can probably be attributed to the zfs allocation policy of co-locating all the meta data on disk which minimizes seek times. By default the ext4 allocator will spread the data over the entire disk only co-locating each directory. filesystem | cold | hot --------------+---------+-------- ext4 | 13.318s | 1.040s zfs-0.6.0-rc4 | 4.982s | 1.762s zfs-faststat | 4.933s | 1.345s
* Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev()Brian Behlendorf2011-07-0110-8/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Add "ashift" property to zpool createChristian Kohlschütter2011-06-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some disks with internal sectors larger than 512 bytes (e.g., 4k) can suffer from bad write performance when ashift is not configured correctly. This is caused by the disk not reporting its actual sector size, but a sector size of 512 bytes. The drive may behave this way for compatibility reasons. For example, the WDC WD20EARS disks are known to exhibit this behavior. When creating a zpool, ZFS takes that wrong sector size and sets the "ashift" property accordingly (to 9: 1<<9=512), whereas it should be set to 12 for 4k sectors (1<<12=4096). This patch allows an adminstrator to manual specify the known correct ashift size at 'zpool create' time. This can significantly improve performance in certain cases. However, it will have an impact on your total pool capacity. See the updated ashift property description in the zpool.8 man page for additional details. Valid values for the ashift property range from 9 to 17 (512B-128KB). Additionally, you may set the ashift to 0 if you wish to auto-detect the sector size based on what the disk reports, this is the default behavior. The most common ashift values are 9 and 12.

* Disable direct reclaim for z_wr_* threadsBrian Behlendorf2011-05-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The direct reclaim path in the z_wr_* threads must be disabled to ensure forward progress is always maintained for txg processing. This ensures that a txg will never get stuck waiting on itself because it entered the following memory reclaim callpath. ->prune_icache()->dispose_list()->zpl_clear_inode()->zfs_inactive() ->dmu_tx_assign()->dmu_tx_wait()->tgx_wait_open() It would be preferable to target this exact code path but the kernel offers no way to do this without custom patches. To avoid this we are forced to disable all reclaim for these threads. It should not be necessary to do this for other other z_* threads because they will not hold a txg open. Closes #232
* 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
