* Linux 2.6.38 compat, blkdev_get_by_path()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-233-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | 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 Additionally, the counterpart function close_bdev_exclusive() has been replaced by blkdev_put().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 2.6.36 compat, sops->evict_inode()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-113-0/+3
| | | | | | 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 2.6.35 compat, fops->fsync()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-113-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | 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/+3
| | | | | | | 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.
* MS_DIRSYNC and MS_REC compatBrian Behlendorf2011-02-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that older versions of the glibc headers do not properly define MS_DIRSYNC despite it being explicitly mentioned in the man pages. They instead call it S_WRITE, so for system where this is not correct defined map MS_DIRSYNC to S_WRITE. At the time of this commit both Ubuntu Lucid, and Debian Squeeze both use the out of date glibc headers. As for MS_REC this field is also not available in the older headers. Since there is no obvious mapping in this case we simply disable the recursive mount option which used it.
* Minimal libshare infrastructureBrian Behlendorf2011-02-043-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be available. The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the library to access the needed symbols. If this fails libshare support is simply disabled. This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare implementation. In fact just enough to prevent the build from failing. Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a libshare library like Solaris. At best this would be an abstraction layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB. Alternately, we can drop libshare entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB. Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped. If we do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be as part of this package so the check is not needed.
* Add 'zfs mount' supportBrian Behlendorf2011-02-043-112/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By design the zfs utility is supposed to handle mounting and unmounting a zfs filesystem. We could allow zfs to do this directly. There are system calls available to mount/umount a filesystem. And there are library calls available to manipulate /etc/mtab. But there are a couple very good reasons not to take this appraoch... for now. Instead of directly calling the system and library calls to (u)mount the filesystem we fork and exec a (u)mount process. The principle reason for this is to delegate the responsibility for locking and updating /etc/mtab to (u)mount(8). This ensures maximum portability and ensures the right locking scheme for your version of (u)mount will be used. If we didn't do this we would have to resort to an autoconf test to determine what locking mechanism is used. The downside to using mount(8) instead of mount(2) is that we lose the exact errno which was returned by the kernel. The return code from mount(8) provides some insight in to what went wrong but it not quite as good. For the moment this is translated as a best guess in to a errno for the higher layers of zfs. In the long term a shared library called libmount is under development which provides a common API to address the locking and errno issues. Once the standard mount utility has been updated to use this library we can then leverage it. Until then this is the only safe solution. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/libmount-docs/index.html
* Autoconf selinux supportBrian Behlendorf2011-01-283-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If libselinux is detected on your system at configure time link against it. This allows us to use a library call to detect if selinux is enabled and if it is to pass the mount option: "context=\"system_u:object_r:file_t:s0" For now this is required because none of the existing selinux policies are aware of the zfs filesystem type. Because of this they do not properly enable xattr based labeling even though zfs supports all of the required hooks. Until distro's add zfs as a known xattr friendly fs type we must use mntpoint labeling. Alternately, end users could modify their existing selinux policy with a little guidance.
* Fix block device-related issues in zdb.Ricardo M. Correia2010-12-143-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | Specifically, this fixes the two following errors in zdb when a pool is composed of block devices: 1) 'Value too large for defined data type' when running 'zdb <dataset>'. 2) 'character device required' when running 'zdb -l <block-device>'.

* Fix for access beyond end of device errorNed Bass2010-11-103-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit fixes a sign extension bug affecting l2arc devices. Extremely large offsets may be passed down to the low level block device driver on reads, generating errors similar to attempt to access beyond end of device sdbi1: rw=14, want=36028797014862705, limit=125026959 The unwanted sign extension occurrs because the function arc_read_nolock() stores the offset as a daddr_t, a 32-bit signed int type in the Linux kernel. This offset is then passed to zio_read_phys() as a uint64_t argument, causing sign extension for values of 0x80000000 or greater. To avoid this, we store the offset in a uint64_t. This change also changes a few daddr_t struct members to uint64_t in the libspl headers to avoid similar bugs cropping up in the future. We also add an ASSERT to __vdev_disk_physio() to check for invalid offsets. Closes #66 Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Add FAILFAST supportBrian Behlendorf2010-10-123-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device failure occurs. This allows it to immediately start any recovery actions which may be needed. In theory Linux supports a flag which can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers. That's the theory at least. In practice is turns out that while the flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag. And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer. Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much which can be done to improve this. Basically, this just means that it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a device has failed. This can be improved and I suspect I'll be submitting patches upstream to handle this.
* Support custom build directories and move includesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-086-0/+1880
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
