* Linux 3.2 compat: set_nlink()Darik Horn2011-12-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Directly changing inode->i_nlink is deprecated in Linux 3.2 by commit SHA: bfe8684869601dacfcb2cd69ef8cfd9045f62170 Use the new set_nlink() kernel function instead. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes: #462
* 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.

* Allow leading digits in userquota/groupquota namesSuman Chakravartula2011-11-211-39/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While setting/getting userquota and groupquota properties, the input was not treated as a possible username or groupname if it had a leading digit. While useradd in linux recommends the regexp [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]? , it is not enforced. This causes problem for usernames with leading digits in them. We need to be able to support getting and setting properties for this unconventional but possible input category I've updated the code to validate the username or groupname directly via the API. Also, note that I moved this validation to the beginning before the check for SID names with @. This also supports usernames with @ character in them which are valid. Only when input with @ is not a valid username, it is interpreted as a potential SID name. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #428
* Limit maximum ashift value to 12Brian Behlendorf2011-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While we initially allowed you to set your ashift as large as 17 (SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE) that is actually unsafe. What wasn't considered at the time is that each uberblock written to the vdev label ring buffer will be of this size. Now the buffer is statically sized to 128k and we need to be able to fit several uberblocks in it. With a large ashift that becomes a problem. Therefore I'm reducing the maximum configurable ashift value to 12. This is large enough for the 4k sector drives and small enough that we can still keep the most recent 32 uberblock in the vdev label ring buffer.

* Simplify BDI integrationBrian Behlendorf2011-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-08-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Use /dev/null for stdout/stderr in libzfs_run_process().Gunnar Beutner2011-08-011-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Simply closing the stdout and/or stderr file descriptors for the child process can have bad side effects if for example the child writes to stdout/stderr after open()ing a file. The open() call might have returned the same file descriptor one would usually expect for stdout/stderr (1 and 2), thereby causing mis-directed writes.

* Illumos #1092: zfs refratio propertyMatt Ahrens2011-08-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a "REFRATIO" property, which is the compression ratio based on data referenced. For snapshots, this is the same as COMPRESSRATIO, but for filesystems/volumes, the COMPRESSRATIO is based on the data "USED" (ie, includes blocks in children, but not blocks shared with the origin). This is needed to figure out how much space a filesystem would use if it were not compressed (ignoring snapshots).

* Add proper library versioningBrian Behlendorf2011-07-062-3/+3
| | | | | | | | The zfs libraries were never properly versioned. Since the API has remained static for quite some time this we never an issue. However, going forward they should be versioned. This commit versions all of the libraries to 1.0.0. From here on out this version must be updated to reflect changes to the library.
* Link libshare directly to libzfsGunnar Beutner2011-07-063-157/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Drop usage of dlopen/dlsym for libshare. There is no need to do this because the zfs packages provide libshare. Unlike on Solaris we are guaranteed it will be available. This avoids possible problems with hardcoding the libshare path in the code (e.g. when users specify a different install path via configure options). It additionally simplifies the code which is good for maintainability. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>

* Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev()Brian Behlendorf2011-07-013-11/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Tear down and flush the mmap regionPrasad Joshi2011-06-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Add "ashift" property to zpool createChristian Kohlschütter2011-06-171-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 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 Behlendorf2011-06-141-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Fix 'zfs send -D' segfaultBrian Behlendorf2011-06-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sending pools with dedup results in a segfault due to a Solaris portability issue. Under Solaris the pipe(2) library call creates a bidirectional data channel. Unfortunately, on Linux pipe(2) call creates unidirection data channel. The fix is to use the socketpair(2) function to create the expected bidirectional channel. Seth Heeren did the original leg work on this issue for zfs-fuse. We finally just rediscovered the same portability issue and dfurphy was able to point me at the original issue for the fix. Closes #268
* 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.

* Use gethostid in the Linux convention.Darik Horn2011-04-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Disable the gethostid() override for Solaris behavior because Linux systems implement the POSIX standard in a way that allows a negative result. Mask the gethostid() result to the lower four bytes, like coreutils does in /usr/bin/hostid, to prevent junk bits or sign-extension on systems that have an eight byte long type. This can cause a spurious hostid mismatch that prevents zpool import on 64-bit systems.

* Set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable globallyBrian Behlendorf2011-04-191-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As of gcc-4.6 the option -Wunused-but-set-variable is enabled by default. While this is a useful warning there are numerous places in the ZFS code when a variable is set and then only checked in an ASSERT(). To avoid having to update every instance of this in the code we now set -Wno-unused-but-set-variable to suppress the warning. Additionally, when building with --enable-debug and -Werror set these warning also become fatal. We can reevaluate the suppression of these error at a later time if it becomes an issue. For now we are basically just reverting to the previous gcc behavior.
* Linux 2.6.28 compat, insert_inode_locked()Brian Behlendorf2011-03-221-0/+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.
* | Fix 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed' build errorBrian Behlendorf2011-03-182-0/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | Compiling with 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed' exposed the fact that there were some library linking problems introduced by mount_zfs. In particular, the libzfs library does use nvpair symbols, and mount_zfs contains no dependencies on libzpool. Closes #161 Closes #162
* Print mount/umount errorsBrian Behlendorf2011-03-092-8/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we are dependent of the system mount/umount utilities to ensure correct mtab locking, we should not suppress their error output. During a successful mount/umount they will be silent, but during a failure the error message they print is the only sure way to know why a mount failed. This is because the (u)mount(8) return code does not contain the result of the system call issued. The only way to clearly idenify why thing failed is to rely on the error message printed by the tool. Longer term once libmount is available we can issue the mount/umount system calls within the tool and still be ensured correct mtab locking. Closed #107
* Fix mount helperBrian Behlendorf2011-03-091-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several issues related to strange mount/umount behavior were reported and this commit should address most of them. The original idea was to put in place a zfs mount helper (mount.zfs). This helper is used to enforce 'legacy' mount behavior, and perform any extra mount argument processing (selinux, zfsutil, etc). This helper wasn't ready for the 0.6.0-rc1 release but with this change it's functional but needs to extensively tested. This change addresses the following open issues. Closes #101 Closes #107 Closes #113 Closes #115 Closes #119
* Add missing libspl+libzpool libs to libzfsBrian Behlendorf2011-03-032-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | The libspl and libzpool libraries were missing from the libzfs Makefile.am. They should be explicitly listed to avoid build issues when compiling static libraries and binaries. Additionally, ensure libzpool is built before libzfs because libzfs is dependent on libzpool. This was also exposed as an issue when forcing static linking.
* Linux 2.6.38 compat, blkdev_get_by_path()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Improve 'zpool import' safetyBrian Behlendorf2011-02-171-9/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three improvements here to 'zpool import' proposed by Fajar in Github issue #98. They are all good so I'm commiting all three. 1) Add descriptions for "hpet" and "core" blacklist entries. 2) Add "core" to the blacklist, as described in the issue accessing this device will crash Xen dom0. 3) Refine probing behavior to use fstatat64(). This allows us to determine if a device is a block device or a regular file without having to open it. This is the safest appraoch when probing /dev/ because the simple act of opening a device may have unexpected consequences. Closes #98
* Suppress share error on mountBrian Behlendorf2011-02-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | Until code is added to support automatically sharing datasets we should return success instead of failure. This prevents the command line tools from returning a non-zero error code. While a user likely won't notice this, test scripts like zconfig.sh do and correctly fail because of it.
* 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 2.6.35 compat, fops->fsync()Brian Behlendorf2011-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-02-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | 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 missing -ldl linker optionBrian Behlendorf2011-02-102-2/+2
| | | | | | The inclusion on dlsym(), dlopen(), and dlclose() symbols require us to link against the dl library. Be careful to add the flag to both the libzfs library and the commands which depend on the library.

* Minimal libshare infrastructureBrian Behlendorf2011-02-042-25/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-02-041-16/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Open up libzfs_run_process/libzfs_load_moduleBrian Behlendorf2011-01-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | Recently helper functions were added to libzfs_util to load a kernel module or execute a process. Initially this functionality was limited to libzfs but it has become clear there will be other consumers. This change opens up the interface so it may be used where appropriate.
* Autoconf selinux supportBrian Behlendorf2011-01-283-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 minor compiler warningsBrian Behlendorf2011-01-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | These compiler warnings were introduced when code which was previously #ifdef'ed out by HAVE_ZPL was re-added for use by the posix layer. All of the following changes should be obviously correct and will cause no semantic changes.
* Skip /dev/hpet during 'zpool import'zfs-0.5.2Brian Behlendorf2010-11-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If libblkid does not contain ZFS support, then 'zpool import' will scan all block devices in /dev/ to determine which ones are components of a ZFS filesystem. It does this by opening all the devices and stat'ing them to determine which ones are block devices. If the device turns out not to be a block device it is skipped. Usually, this whole process is pretty harmless (although slow). But there are certain devices in /dev/ which must be handled in a very specific way or your system may crash. For example, if /dev/watchdog is simply opened the watchdog timer will be started and your system will panic when the timer expires. It turns out the /dev/hpet causes similiar problems although only when accessed under a virtual machine. For some reason accessing /dev/hpet causes qemu to crash. To address this issue this commit adds /dev/hpet to the device blacklist, it will be skipped solely based on its name.
* Call modprobe with absolute pathNed Bass2010-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Some sudo configurations may not include /sbin in the PATH. libzfs_load_module() currently does not call modprobe with an absolute path, so it may fail under such configurations if called under sudo. This change adds the absolute path to modprobe so we no longer rely on how PATH is set. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Support shorthand names with zpool removeNed Bass2010-10-221-64/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zpool status displays abbreviated vdev names without leading path components and, in the case of whole disks, without partition information. Also, the zpool subcommands 'create' and 'add' support using shorthand devices names without qualified paths. Prior to this change, however, removing a device generally required specifying its name as it is stored in the vdev label. So while zpool status might list a cache disk with a name like A16, removing it would require a full path such as /dev/disk/zpool/A16-part1, which is non-intuitive. This change adds support for shorthand device names with the remove subcommand so one can simply type, for example, zpool remove tank A16 A consequence of this change is that including the partition information when removing a whole-disk vdev now results in an error. While this is arguably the correct behavior, it is a departure from how zpool previously worked in this project. This change removes the only reference to ctd_check_path(), so that function is also removed to avoid compiler warnings. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
