* Update utsname supportBrian Behlendorf2014-10-172-35/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the code to use the utsname() kernel function rather than a global variable. This results is cleaner more portable code because utsname() is already provided by the kernel and can be easily emulated in user space via uname(2). This means that it will behave consistently in both contexts. This is also has the benefit that it allows the removal of a few _KERNEL pre-processor conditions. And it also is a pre-requisite for a proper FUSE port because we need to provide a valid utsname. Finally, it allows us to remove this functionality from the SPL and all the related compatibility code. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #2757

This is unexpected since on error it should return -1 and set errno to one of the error values listed for mkdir(2). This commit sets errno = ENOENT for this NULL ptr case.

* Add full SELinux supportMatthew Thode2013-12-191-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Four new dataset properties have been added to support SELinux. They are 'context', 'fscontext', 'defcontext' and 'rootcontext' which map directly to the context options described in mount(8). When one of these properties is set to something other than 'none'. That string will be passed verbatim as a mount option for the given context when the filesystem is mounted. For example, if you wanted the rootcontext for a filesystem to be set to 'system_u:object_r:fs_t' you would set the property as follows: $ zfs set rootcontext="system_u:object_r:fs_t" storage-pool/media This will ensure the filesystem is automatically mounted with that rootcontext. It is equivalent to manually specifying the rootcontext with the -o option like this: $ zfs mount -o rootcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t storage-pool/media By default all four contexts are set to 'none'. Further information on SELinux contexts is detailed in mount(8) and selinux(8) man pages.

* Handle concurrent snapshot automounts failing due to EBUSY.Tim Chase2013-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the current snapshot automount implementation, it is possible for multiple mounts to attempted concurrently. Only one of the mounts will succeed and the other will fail. The failed mounts will cause an EREMOTE to be propagated back to the application. This commit works around the problem by adding a new exit status, MOUNT_BUSY to the mount.zfs program which is used when the underlying mount(2) call returns EBUSY. The zfs code detects this condition and treats it as if the mount had succeeded. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1819

* Generate libraries with correct DT_NEEDED entriesRichard Yao2013-10-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Libraries that depend on other libraries should list them in ELF's DT_NEEDED field so that programs linking to them do not need to specify those libraries unless they depend on them as well. This is not the case in the current code and the consequence is that anything that needs a library must know its dependencies. This is fragile and caused GRUB2's configure script to break when a dependency was added on libblkid in libzfs. This resolves that problem by using LIBADD/LDADD to specify libraries in Makefile.am instead of LDFLAGS. This ensures that proper DT_NEEDED entries are generated and prevents GRUB2's configure script from breaking in the presence of a libblkid dependency. This also removes unneeded dependencies from various files. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #1751

* Don't leak mount flags into kernelNed Bass2013-06-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling mount(), care must be taken to avoid passing in flags that are used only by the user space utilities. Otherwise we may stomp on flags that are reserved for other purposes in the kernel. In particular, openSUSE 12.3 kernels have added a new MS_RICHACL super-block flag whose value conflicts with our MS_COMMENT flag. This causes incorrect behavior such as the umask being ignored. The MS_COMMENT flag essentially serves as a placeholder in the option_map data structure of zfs_mount.c, but its value is never used. Therefore we can avoid the conflict by defining it to 0. The MS_USERS, MS_OWNER, and MS_GROUP flags also conflict with reserved flags in the kernel. While this is not known to have caused any problems, it is nevertheless incorrect. For the purposes of the mount.zfs helper, the "users", "owner", and "group" options just serve as hints to set additional implied options. Therefore we now define their associated mount flags in terms of the options that they imply rather than giving them unique values. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1457

* Set zvol discard_granularity to the volblocksize.Etienne Dechamps2012-08-0712-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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 Dechamps2012-07-1712-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

* Add support for DISCARD to ZVOLs.Etienne Dechamps2012-02-0912-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Dechamps2012-02-0712-0/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Dechamps2012-02-0712-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | The second argument of sops->show_options() was changed from a 'struct vfsmount *' to a 'struct dentry *'. Add an autoconf check to detect the API change and then conditionally define the expected interface. In either case we are only interested in the zfs_sb_t.

* Combine libraries: spl, avl, efi, share, unicode.Darik Horn2012-01-172-73/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These libraries, which are an artifact of the ZoL development process, conflict with packages that are already in distribution: * libspl: SPL Programming Language * libavl: AVL for Linux * libefi: GRUB And these libraries are potential conflicts: * libshare: the Linux Mount Manager * libunicode: Perl and Python Recompose these five ZoL components into the four libraries that are conventionally provided by Solaris and FreeBSD systems: + libnvpair + libuutil + libzpool + libzfs This change resolves the name conflict, makes ZoL more compatible with existing software that uses autotools to detect ZFS, and allows pkg-zfs to better reflect the official Debian kFreeBSD packaging.

* Add overlay(-O) mount option supportSuman Chakravartula2012-01-121-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux supports mounting over non-empty directories by default. In Solaris this is not the case and -O option is required for zfs mount to mount a zfs filesystem over a non-empty directory. For compatibility, I've added support for -O option to mount zfs filesystems over non-empty directories if the user wants to, just like in Solaris. I've defined MS_OVERLAY to record it in the flags variable if the -O option is supplied. The flags variable passes through a few functions and its checked before performing the empty directory check in zfs_mount function. If -O is given, the check is not performed.

* Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrinkBrian Behlendorf2012-01-1112-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 make rule for building Arch Linux packagesPrakash Surya2011-12-1412-0/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-11-0812-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Add backing_device_info per-filesystemBrian Behlendorf2011-08-0412-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
