Linux 3.8 compat: Use kuid_t/kgid_t when required
When CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is enabled uid_t/git_t are
replaced by kuid_t/kgid_t, which are structures instead of integral
types. This causes any code that uses an integral type to fail to build.
The User Namespace functionality introduced in Linux 3.8 requires
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS, so we could not build against any
kernel that supported it.
We resolve this by converting between the new kuid_t/kgid_t structures
and the original uid_t/gid_t types.

PaX/GrSecurity Linux 3.8.y compat: Use __no_const on struct ctl_table
The PaX team started constifying `struct ctl_table` as of their Linux
3.8.0 patchset. This lead to zfsonlinux/spl#225 and Gentoo bug #463012.
While investigating our options, I learned that there is a preprocessor
directive called CONSTIFY_PLUGIN that we can use to detect the presence
of the PaX changes and adjust the code accordingly.
The PaX Team had suggested adopting ctl_table_no_const, but supporting
older kernels required declaring that whenever the CONSTIFY_PLUGIN was
set. Future compiler changes could potentially cause that to break in
the presence of -Werror, so instead we define our own spl_ctl_table
typdef and use that. This should be compatible with all PaX kernels.
This introduces a Linux kernel version number check to prevent a build
failure on versions of the PaX GCC plugin that existed for kernels
before Linux 3.8.0. Affected versions of the PaX plugin will trigger a
compiler error when they see no_const cast on a non-constified
structure. Ordinarily, we would need an autotools check to catch that.
However, it is safe to do a kernel version check instead of an autotools
check in this specific instance because the affected versions of the PaX
GCC plugin only exist for Linux kernels before 3.8.0 and the
constification of `struct ctl_table` by the PaX developers only occurs
in Linux 3.8.0 and later.

spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() currently invokes spl_cache_flush() on each

during the early development, but these days it is no longer

Therefore, I'm disabling the code which automatically dumps
this log to disk during an assertion except for the case where

Cache aging was implemented because it was part of the default Solaris
kmem_cache behavior. The idea is that per-cpu objects which haven't been
accessed in several seconds should be returned to the cache. On the other
hand Linux slabs never move objects back to the slabs unless there is
memory pressure on the system.
This behavior is now configurable through the 'spl_kmem_cache_expire'
module option. The value is a bit mask with the following meaning.
0x1 - Solaris style cache aging eviction is enabled.
0x2 - Linux style low memory eviction is enabled.
Both methods may be safely enabled simultaneously, but by default
both are disabled. It has never been clear if the kmem cache aging
(which has been around from day one) actually does any good. It has
however been the source of numerous bugs so I wouldn't mind retiring
it entirely.

kmem-cache: Fix slab ageing soft lockup
Commit a10287e00d13c4c4dbbff14f42b00b03da363fcb slightly reworked
the slab ageing code such that it is no longer dependent on the
Linux delayed work queue interfaces.
This was good for portability and performance, but it requires us
to use the on_each_cpu() function to execute the spl_magazine_age()
function. That means that the function is now executing in interrupt
context whereas before it was scheduled in normal process context.
And that means we need to be slightly more careful about the locking
in the interrupt handler.
With the reworked code it's possible that we'll be holding the
skc->skc_lock and be interrupted to handle the spl_magazine_age()
IRQ. This will result in a deadlock and soft lockup errors unless
we're careful to detect the contention and avoid taking the lock in
the interupt handler. So that's what this patch does.
Alternately, (and slightly more conventionally) we could have used
spin_lock_irqsave() to prevent this race entirely but I'd perfer to
avoid disabling interrupts as much as possible due to performance
concerns. There is absolutely no penalty for us not aging objects
out of the magazine due to contention.

However, the delayed taskq interface does not allow us to schedule

The magazine ageing delay has been directly linked to the cache

waiting for them to complete and promptly reclaims any free slabs.

Add a test case for taskq_cancel_id() to verify it is working
properly. Just like taskq:delay we start by dispatching 100
tasks. However this time 1/3 of the tasks use taskq_dispatch()
and will be run immediately, and 2/3 use taskq_dispatch_delay().
The idea is to create a busy taskq with both active, pending,
and delayed tasks.
After all the items have been successfully dispatched the test
begins randomly canceling known task ids. It will do this for
5 seconds randomly canceling a task id and then sleeping for a
few milliseconds. The task being canceled may have already run,
still be on the pending list, or may be currently being executed
by a worker thread. The idea is to ensure we catch any subtle
race conditions.
Once all the non-canceled tasks have completed we cross check
the number of tasks which ran with the number of tasks which
were successfully canceled. Additionally, we verify that the
taskq_cancel_id() function never blocks longer than needed.
This time is bounded by the longest run time of the task which
was dispatched.

Add the ability to dispatch a delayed task to a taskq. The desired
behavior is for the task to be queued but not executed by a worker
thread until the expiration time is reached. To achieve this two
new functions were added.
* taskq_dispatch_delay() -
This function behaves exactly like taskq_dispatch() however it
takes a third 'expire_time' argument. The caller should pass the
desired time the task should be executed as an absolute value in
jiffies. The task is guarenteed not to run before this time, it
may run slightly latter if all the worker threads are busy.
* taskq_cancel_id() -
Given a task id attempt to cancel the task before it gets executed.
This is primarily useful for canceling delay tasks but can be used for
canceling any previously dispatched task. There are three possible
return values.
0 - The task was found and canceled before it was executed.
ENOENT - The task was not found, either it was already run or an
invalid task id was supplied by the caller.
EBUSY - The task is currently executing any may not be canceled.
This function will block until the task has been completed.
* taskq_wait_all() -
The taskq_wait_id() function was renamed taskq_wait_all() to more
clearly reflect its actual behavior. It is only curreny used by
the splat taskq regression tests.
* taskq_wait_id() -
Historically, the only difference between this function and
taskq_wait() was that you passed the task id. In both functions you
would block until ALL lower task ids which executed. This was
semantically correct but could be very slow particularly if there
were delay tasks submitted.
To better accomidate the delay tasks this function was reimplemnted.
It will now only block until the passed task id has been completed.
This is actually a fairly low risk change for a few reasons.
* Only new ZFS callers will make use of the new interfaces and
very little common code was changed to support the new functions.
* The existing taskq_wait() implementation was not changed just
slightly refactored.
* The newly optimized taskq_wait_id() implementation was never
used by ZFS we can't accidentally introduce a new bug there.
NOTE: This functionality does not exist in the Illumos taskqs.

splat taskq:front: Fix race
The taskq:front test has a race condition where task 4 and 8
race to complete, due to an incorrectly calculated set of delay
"factors" (T). If task 4 wins and actually finishes first, the
verification of the order of completion will fail.
The delays calculated to order task completion do not take into
account the terminal line in the table, and so are all off by
a factor of 1. This causes all the tasks in all queues to finish
sooner than expected and the accumulated error is the root cause
of tasks 4 and 8 racing to complete first. Before the change the
"actual" table looks like I commented in #130.
I changed:
* the table in the comment to correctly reflect the test and the
factor timings needed.
* the individual task delay factors of T so that ONLY 1 task will
every 2T. (on average)
* 1T was reduced from 100ms to 50ms. This halves the duration of
the test and makes any remaining raciness more likely to cause
failures, but it did not cause the test to fail.
* simplified the delay factor logic by using a table look-up
instead of a switch.
* Added a "task started" message so that with -v it is possible
to see the order tasks are started.
* Moved the "task completed" message inside the spinlock so that
with -v the message truly reflects the absolute order of
completion as guaranteed by the spinlock.

* While holding the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj1) lock a function
calls kmem_cache_alloc() which happens to need to allocate a

and attempt to evict several inodes. To evict these inodes we
need to take the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj2) lock and it
just happens that obj1 and obj2 use the same hashed lock.
* Similar to the first case however instead of getting blocked
on the hash lock we block in txg_wait_open() which is waiting
for the next txg which isn't coming because the txg_sync
thread is blocked in kmem_cache_alloc().
Note this isn't a 100% fix because vmalloc() won't strictly
