Illumos #1051: zfs should handle imbalanced luns
Today zfs tries to allocate blocks evenly across all devices.
This means when devices are imbalanced zfs will use lots of
CPU searching for space on devices which tend to be pretty
full. It should instead fail quickly on the full LUNs and
move onto devices which have more availability.

Note that with the current ZFS code, it turns out that the vdev
cache is not helpful, and in some cases actually harmful. It
is better if we disable this. Once some time has passed, we
should actually remove this to simplify the code. For now we
just disable it by setting the zfs_vdev_cache_size to zero.
Note that Solaris 11 has made these same changes.

Illumos #764: panic in zfs:dbuf_sync_list
Hypothesis about what's going on here.
At some time in the past, something, i.e. dnode_reallocate()
calls one of:
dbuf_rm_spill(dn, tx);
These will do:
dbuf_rm_spill(dnode_t *dn, dmu_tx_t *tx)
dbuf_free_range(dn, DMU_SPILL_BLKID, DMU_SPILL_BLKID, tx)
dbuf_undirty(db, tx)
Currently dbuf_undirty can leave a spill block in dn_dirty_records[],
(it having been put there previously by dbuf_dirty) and free it.
Sometime later, dbuf_sync_list trips over this reference to free'd
(and typically reused) memory.
Also, dbuf_undirty can call dnode_clear_range with a bogus
block ID. It needs to test for DMU_SPILL_BLKID, similar to
how dnode_clear_range is called in dbuf_dirty().

Use zfs_mknode() to create dataset root

Fix mmap(2)/write(2)/read(2) deadlock
When modifing overlapping regions of a file using mmap(2) and
write(2)/read(2) it is possible to deadlock due to a lock inversion.
The zfs_write() and zfs_read() hooks first take the zfs range lock
and then lock the individual pages. Conversely, when using mmap'ed
I/O the zpl_writepage() hook is called with the individual page
locks already taken and then zfs_putpage() takes the zfs range lock.
The most straight forward fix is to simply not take the zfs range
lock in the mmap(2) case. The individual pages will still be locked
thus serializing access. Updating the same region of a file with
write(2) and mmap(2) has always been a dodgy thing to do. This change
at a minimum ensures we don't deadlock and is consistent with the
existing Linux semantics enforced by the VFS.
This isn't an issue under Solaris because the only range locking
performed will be with the zfs range locks. It's up to each filesystem
to perform its own file locking. Under Linux the VFS provides many
of these services.
It may be possible/desirable at a latter date to entirely dump the
existing zfs range locking and rely on the Linux VFS page locks.

zfs is more tightly integrated with the page cache.

Fix send/recv 'dataset is busy' errors
This commit fixes a regression which was accidentally introduced by
the Linux 2.6.39 compatibility chanages. As part of these changes
instead of holding an active reference on the namepsace (which is
no longer posible) a reference is taken on the super block. This
reference ensures the super block remains valid while it is in use.
To handle the unlikely race condition of the filesystem being
unmounted concurrently with the start of a 'zfs send/recv' the
code was updated to only take the super block reference when there
was an existing reference. This indicates that the filesystem is
active and in use.
Unfortunately, in the 'zfs recv' case this is not the case. The
newly created dataset will not have a super block without an
active reference which results in the 'dataset is busy' error.
The most straight forward fix for this is to simply update the
code to always take the reference even when it's zero. This
may expose us to very very unlikely concurrent umount/send/recv
case but the consequences of that are minor.

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.
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.
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.
The performance of the L2ARC can be tweaked by a number of tunables, which
may be necessary for different workloads:
l2arc_write_max max write bytes per interval
l2arc_write_boost extra write bytes during device warmup
l2arc_noprefetch skip caching prefetched buffers
l2arc_headroom number of max device writes to precache
l2arc_feed_secs seconds between L2ARC writing

Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount

in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options.
This needed to be done originally to allow commands like

Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a

which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back
reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated.

Fix unlink/xattr deadlock
The problem here is that prune_icache() tries to evict/delete
both the xattr directory inode as well as at least one xattr
inode contained in that directory. Here's what happens:
1. File is created.
2. xattr is created for that file (behind the scenes a xattr
directory and a file in that xattr directory are created)
3. File is deleted.
4. Both the xattr directory inode and at least one xattr
inode from that directory are evicted by prune_icache();
prune_icache() acquires a lock on both inodes before it
calls ->evict() on the inodes
When the xattr directory inode is evicted zfs_zinactive attempts
to delete the xattr files contained in that directory. While
enumerating these files zfs_zget() is called to obtain a reference
to the xattr file znode - which tries to lock the xattr inode.
However that very same xattr inode was already locked by
prune_icache() further up the call stack, thus leading to a
deadlock.
This can be reliably reproduced like this:
$ touch test
$ attr -s a -V b test
$ rm test
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
This patch fixes the deadlock by moving the zfs_purgedir() call to
zfs_unlinked_drain(). Instead zfs_rmnode() now checks whether the
xattr dir is empty and leaves the xattr dir in the unlinked set if
it finds any xattrs.
To ensure zfs_unlinked_drain() never accesses a stale super block
zfsvfs_teardown() has been update to block until the iput taskq
has been drained. This avoids a potential race where a file with
an xattr directory is removed and the file system is immediately
unmounted.

Removed erroneous zfs_inode_destroy() calls from zfs_rmnode().
iput_final() already calls zpl_inode_destroy() -> zfs_inode_destroy()
for us after zfs_zinactive(), thus making sure that the inode is
properly cleaned up.
The zfs_inode_destroy() calls in zfs_rmnode() would lead to a
double-free.
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.

Add default stack checking
When your kernel is built with kernel stack tracing enabled and you
have the debugfs filesystem mounted. Then the zfs.sh script will clear
the worst observed kernel stack depth on module load and check the worst
case usage on module removal. If the stack depth ever exceeds 7000
bytes the full stack will be printed for debugging. This is dangerously
close to overrunning the default 8k stack.
This additional advisory debugging is particularly valuable when running
the regression tests on a kernel built with 16k stacks. In this case,
almost no matter how bad the stack overrun is you will see be able to
get a clean stack trace for debugging. Since the worst case stack usage
can be highly variable it's helpful to always check the worst case usage.

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.
Just like zconfig.sh the zpios-sanity.sh tests should run in a
sanatized environment. This ensures they never conflict with an
installed /etc/zfs/zpool.cache file.
This commit additionally improves the -c cleanup option. It now
removes the modules stack if loaded and destroys relevant md devices.
This behavior is now identical to zconfig.sh.
Generally I don't approve of just adding an arbitrary delay to
avoid a problem but in this case I'm going to let it slide. We
may need to delay briefly after 'zpool destroy' returns to ensure
the loopback devices are closed. If they aren't closed than
losetup -d will not be able to destroy them. Unfortunately,
there's no easy state the check so we'll have to make due with
a simple delay.
We should always unload zpios.ko on exit. This ensures
that subsequent calls to 'zfs.sh -u' from other utilities
will be able to unload the module stack and properly
cleanup. This is important for the the --cleanup option
which can be passed to zconfig.sh and zfault.sh.
The zpios-sanity.sh script should return failure when any
of the individual zpios.sh tests fail. The previous code

Make tgx_sync_thread zio's async
The majority of the recursive operations performed by the dsl
are done either in the context of the tgx_sync_thread or during
pool import. It is these recursive operations which contribute
greatly to the stack depth. When this recursion is coupled with
a synchronous I/O in the same context overflow becomes possible.
Previously to handle this case I have focused on keeping the
individual stack frames as light as possible. This is a good
idea as long as it can be done in a way which doesn't overly
complicate the code. However, there is a better solution.
If we treat all zio's issued by the tgx_sync_thread as async then
we can use the tgx_sync_thread stack for the recursive parts, and
the zio_* threads for the I/O parts. This effectively doubles our
available stack space with the only drawback being a small delay
to schedule the I/O. However, in practice the scheduling time
is so much smaller than the actual I/O time this isn't an issue.
Another benefit of making the zio async is that the zio pipeline
is now parallel. That should mean for CPU intensive pipelines
such as compression or dedup performance may be improved.

far is 6902 bytes. This is still higher than I'd like but

Fix 4K sector support
Yesterday I ran across a 3TB drive which exposed 4K sectors to
Linux. While I thought I had gotten this support correct it
turns out there were 2 subtle bugs which prevented it from
working.
sudo ./cmd/zpool/zpool create -f large-sector /dev/sda
cannot create 'large-sector': one or more devices is currently unavailable
1) The first issue was that it was possible that bdev_capacity()
would return the number of 512 byte sectors rather than the number
of 4096 sectors. Internally, certain Linux functions only operate
with 512 byte sectors so you need to be careful. To avoid any
confusion in the future I've updated bdev_capacity() to simply
return the device (or partition) capacity in bytes. The higher
levels of ZFS want the value in bytes anyway so this is cleaner.
2) When creating a bio the ->bi_sector count must always be
expressed in 512 byte sectors. The existing code would scale
the byte offset by the logical sector size. Until now this was
always 512 so it never caused problems. Trying a 4K sector drive
clearly exposed the issue. The problem has been fixed by
hard coding the 512 byte sector which is exactly what the bio
code does internally.
With these changes I'm now able to create ZFS pools using 4K
sector drives. No issues were observed during fairly extensive
testing. This is also a low risk change if your using 512b
sectors devices because none of the logic changes.

Normally when the arc_shrinker_func() function is called the return
value should be:
>=0 - To indicate the number of freeable objects in the cache, or
-1 - To indicate this cache should be skipped
However, when the shrinker callback is called with 'nr_to_scan' equal
to zero. The caller simply wants the number of freeable objects in
the cache and we must never return -1. This patch reorders the
first two conditionals in arc_shrinker_func() to ensure this behavior.
This patch also now explictly casts arc_size and arc_c_min to signed
int64_t types so MAX(x, 0) works as expected. As unsigned types
we would never see an negative value which defeated the purpose of
the MAX() lower bound and broke the shrinker logic.
Finally, when nr_to_scan is non-zero we explictly prevent all reclaim
below arc_c_min. This is done to prevent the Linux page cache from
completely crowding out the ARC. This limit is tunable and some
experimentation is likely going to be required to set it exactly right.

The direct reclaim path in the z_wr_* threads must be disabled

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.

Additionally, add the '\<' token to the beginning of the regex
pattern to prevent partial matches. This pattern only appears to
work with gawk despite the mawk man page claiming to support this
extended regex. Thus you will need to have gawk installed to use
these optional helper scripts. A comment has been added to the

The default buffer size when requesting history is 128k. This
