* Add missing libspl+libzpool libs to libzfsBrian Behlendorf2011-03-034-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-02-2320-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | 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 Additionally, the counterpart function close_bdev_exclusive() has been replaced by blkdev_put().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 Behlendorf2011-02-1120-0/+20
| | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-02-1120-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-02-1020-0/+20
| | | | | | | 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.
* 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.
* Remove useless libefi warningsBrian Behlendorf2011-02-101-10/+3
| | | | | | | These two warnings in libefi serve no real purpose. When running without DEBUG they are already supressed, and even when DEBUG is enabled all they indicate is the device doesn't already have an EFI label. For a Linux machine this is probably the common case.
* Add Hooks for Linux File OperationsBrian Behlendorf2011-02-102-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux specific file operations have all been located in the file zpl_file.c. These functions primarily rely on the reworked zfs_* functions to do their job. They are also responsible for converting the possible Solaris style error codes to negative Linux errors. This first zpl_* commit also includes a common zpl.h header with minimal entries to register the Linux specific hooks. In also adds all the new zpl_* file to the Makefile.in. This is not a standalone commit, you required the following zpl_* commits.
* Remove zfs_ctldir.[ch]Brian Behlendorf2011-02-102-2/+0
| | | | | | | This code is used for snapshot and heavily leverages Solaris functionality we do not want to reimplement. These files have been removed, including references to them, and will be replaced by a zfs_snap.c/zpl_snap.c implementation which handles snapshots.
* Add basic uio supportBrian Behlendorf2011-02-102-4/+15
| | | | | | | | This code originates in OpenSolaris and was modified by KQ Infotech to be compatible with Linux. While supporting uios in the short term is useful to get something working this is not an abstraction we want to keep. This code is expected to be short lived and removed as soon as all the remaining uio based APIs and updated.
* Remove HAVE_ZPL from commands and librariesBrian Behlendorf2011-02-044-91/+0
| | | | | Thanks to the previous few commits we can now build all of the user space commands and libraries with support for the zpl.
* Documentation updatesBrian Behlendorf2011-02-042-3/+3
| | | | | Minor Linux specific documentation updates to the comments and man pages.
* Minimal libshare infrastructureBrian Behlendorf2011-02-0422-49/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-02-044-128/+168
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Behlendorf2011-01-2822-2/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Add missing mkdirp prototypeBrian Behlendorf2010-12-141-0/+34
| | | | | | For while now mkdirp has been built as part of libspl however the protoype was never added to libgen.h. This went unnoticed until enabling the mount support which uses mkdirp().
* Fix block device-related issues in zdb.Ricardo M. Correia2010-12-144-14/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | 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>'.

* 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.
* 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]>
* 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]>
* Add helper functions for manipulating device namesNed Bass2010-10-221-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds two helper functions for working with vdev names and paths. zfs_resolve_shortname() resolves a shorthand vdev name to an absolute path of a file in /dev, /dev/disk/by-id, /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-path, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/zpool. This was previously done only in the function is_shorthand_path(), but we need a general helper function to implement shorthand names for additional zpool subcommands like remove. is_shorthand_path() is accordingly updated to call the helper function. There is a minor change in the way zfs_resolve_shortname() tests if a file exists. is_shorthand_path() effectively used open() and stat64() to test for file existence, since its scope includes testing if a device is a whole disk and collecting file status information. zfs_resolve_shortname(), on the other hand, only uses access() to test for existence and leaves it to the caller to perform any additional file operations. This seemed like the most general and lightweight approach, and still preserves the semantics of is_shorthand_path(). zfs_append_partition() appends a partition suffix to a device path. This should be used to generate the name of a whole disk as it is stored in the vdev label. The user-visible names of whole disks do not contain the partition information, while the name in the vdev label does. The code was lifted from the function make_disks(), which now just calls the helper function. Again, having a helper function to do this supports general handling of shorthand names in the user interface. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Add FAILFAST supportBrian Behlendorf2010-10-1220-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Make commands load zfs module on demandNed Bass2010-10-111-0/+70
| | | | | | | | This commit modifies libzfs_init() to attempt to load the zfs kernel module if it is not already loaded. This is done to simplify initialization by letting users simply import their zpools without having to first load the module. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Strip partition from device name for whole disksNed Bass2010-10-041-21/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under Solaris, the slice number is chopped off when displaying the device name if the vdev is a whole disk. Under Linux we should similarly discard the partition number. This commit adds the logic to perform the name truncation for devices ending in -partX, XpX, or X, where X is a string of digits. The second case handles devices like md0p0. The third case is limited to scsi and ide disks, i.e. those beginning with "sd" or "hd", in order to avoid stripping the number from names like "loop0". This commit removes the Solaris-specific code for removing slices, since we no longer reasonably expect our changes to be merged in upstream. The partition stripping code was moved off to a helper function to improve readability. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Fix missing vdev names in zpool status outputNed Bass2010-09-231-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Top-level vdev names in zpool status output should follow a <type-id> naming convention. In the case of raidz devices, the type portion of the name was missing. This commit fixes a bug in zpool_vdev_name() where in this snprintf call (void) snprintf(buf, sizeof (buf), "%s-%llu", path, (u_longlong_t)id); buf and path may point to the same location. The result is that buf ends up containing only the "-id" part. This only occurred for raidz devices because the code for appending the parity level to the type string stored its result in buf then set path to point there. To fix this we allocate a new temporary buffer on the stack instead of reusing buf. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #57
* Exclude atomic.S source from dist rulesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The zfs package supports the option --with-config=srpm which is used to bootstrap configure to allow the 'make srpm' target to work. This has the advantage of allowing creation of source rpms without having all your -devel packages installed. This source package can then be feed back in to an automated build farm which only installs the required packages listed by the srpm. This ensures that all proper dependencies are expressed by the source package, because if they are not you will get configure/build failures. The trouble here is that --with-config=srpm prevents the architecture check from running resulting in TARGET_ASM_DIR being set to the default asm-generic. The 'make dist' rule then fails because there is no asm-generic/atomic.S file because it is generated at build time. To handle this I have added an empty file asm-generic/atomic.S simply as a place holder for 'make dist'.
* Fix "format not a string literal" warningBrian Behlendorf2010-09-081-5/+5
| | | | | | | | Under Ubuntu 10.04 the default compiler flags include -Wformat and -Wformat-security which cause the above warning. In particular, cases where "%s" was forgotten as part of the format specifier. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags
* Support custom build directories and move includesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-0850-4037/+4764
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Minor packaging fixesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-012-2/+2

* Add linux sha2 supportBrian Behlendorf2010-08-311-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The upstream ZFS code has correctly moved to a faster native sha2 implementation. Unfortunately, under Linux that's going to be a little problematic so we revert the code to the more portable version contained in earlier ZFS releases. Using the native sha2 implementation in Linux is possible but the API is slightly different in kernel version user space depending on which libraries are used. Ideally, we need a fast implementation of SHA256 which builds as part of ZFS this shouldn't be that hard to do but it will take some effort. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This branch contains the majority of the changes required to cleanly intergrate with Linux style special devices (/dev/zfs). Mainly this means dropping all the Solaris style callbacks and replacing them with the Linux equivilants. This patch also adds the onexit infrastructure needed to track some minimal state between ioctls. Under Linux it would be easy to do this simply using the file->private_data. But under Solaris they apparent need to pass the file descriptor as part of the ioctl data and then perform a lookup in the kernel. Once again to keep code change to a minimum I've implemented the Solaris solution. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This topic branch leverages the Solaris style FMA call points in ZFS to create a user space visible event notification system under Linux. This new system is called zevent and it unifies all previous Solaris style ereports and sysevent notifications. Under this Linux specific scheme when a sysevent or ereport event occurs an nvlist describing the event is created which looks almost exactly like a Solaris ereport. These events are queued up in the kernel when they occur and conditionally logged to the console. It is then up to a user space application to consume the events and do whatever it likes with them. To make this possible the existing /dev/zfs ABI has been extended with two new ioctls which behave as follows. * ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_NEXT Get the next pending event. The kernel will keep track of the last event consumed by the file descriptor and provide the next one if available. If no new events are available the ioctl() will block waiting for the next event. This ioctl may also be called in a non-blocking mode by setting zc.zc_guid = ZEVENT_NONBLOCK. In the non-blocking case if no events are available ENOENT will be returned. It is possible that ESHUTDOWN will be returned if the ioctl() is called while module unloading is in progress. And finally ENOMEM may occur if the provided nvlist buffer is not large enough to contain the entire event. * ZFS_IOC_EVENTS_CLEAR Clear are events queued by the kernel. The kernel will keep a fairly large number of recent events queued, use this ioctl to clear the in kernel list. This will effect all user space processes consuming events. The zpool command has been extended to use this events ABI with the 'events' subcommand. You may run 'zpool events -v' to output a verbose log of all recent events. This is very similar to the Solaris 'fmdump -ev' command with the key difference being it also includes what would be considered sysevents under Solaris. You may also run in follow mode with the '-f' option. To clear the in kernel event queue use the '-c' option. $ sudo cmd/zpool/zpool events -fv TIME CLASS May 13 2010 16:31:15.777711000 ereport.fs.zfs.config.sync class = "ereport.fs.zfs.config.sync" ena = 0x40982b7897700001 detector = (embedded nvlist) version = 0x0 scheme = "zfs" pool = 0xed976600de75dfa6 (end detector) time = 0x4bec8bc3 0x2e5aed98 pool = "zpios" pool_guid = 0xed976600de75dfa6 pool_context = 0x0 While the 'zpool events' command is handy for interactive debugging it is not expected to be the primary consumer of zevents. This ABI was primarily added to facilitate the addition of a user space monitoring daemon. This daemon would consume all events posted by the kernel and based on the type of event perform an action. For most events simply forwarding them on to syslog is likely enough. But this interface also cleanly allows for more sophisticated actions to be taken such as generating an email for a failed drive.
