Revert "Fix __zio_execute() asynchronous dispatch"

2014-06-11T23:32:57+00:00

This reverts commit 91579709fccd3e55a21970742b66c388fb1403db which
limited the asynchronous dispatch to kernel space.  We want to do
this for two reasons:

1) While we have slightly more headroom in user space excessively
   deep stacks have been observed while running ztest, see #2293.

2) Removing this conditional makes the pipeline behave consistently
   regardless of if it's executing in kernel space or user space.
   This way we're more likely to uncover subtle issues with ztest.

Use default slab types

2014-05-22T17:39:52+00:00

We should not override the default memory type of the kmem cache.  This
was done previously to force certain objects which were slightly over
object size limit cut off in to KMC_KMEM caches for better performance.

The zfsonlinux/spl#356 patch slightly increases the default cut off
from 511 bytes 1024 bytes for x86_64.  This means there is long longer
a need to override the default for the caches.  And since the default
values are now being used the new spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit and
spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit tunables will apply to all kmem caches.

The following is a list of caches that will be impacted:

                  | object size   | forced type   | default type
----------------- | ------------- | ------------- | --------------
dnode_t           | 936 bytes     | KMC_KMEM      | KMC_KMEM
zio_cache         | 1104 bytes    | *KMC_KMEM     | *KMC_VMEM
zio_link_cache    | 48 bytes      | KMC_KMEM      | KMC_KMEM
zio_vdev_cache    | 131088 bytes  | KMC_VMEM      | KMC_VMEM
zio_buf_512       | 512 bytes     | KMC_KMEM      | KMC_KMEM
zio_data_buf_512  | 512 bytes     | KMC_KMEM      | KMC_KMEM
zio_buf_1024      | 1024 bytes    | KMC_KMEM      | KMC_KMEM
zio_data_buf_1024 | 1024 bytes    | +KMC_VMEM     | +KMC_KMEM

* Cache memory type will change from KMC_KMEM to KMC_VMEM.
+ Cache memory type will change from KMC_VMEM to KMC_KMEM.

This patch removes another slight point of divergence between ZoL
and Illumos.

Calculate header size correctly in sa_find_sizes()

2014-05-19T18:55:50+00:00

In the case where a variable-sized SA overlaps the spill block pointer and
a new variable-sized SA is being added, the header size was improperly
calculated to include the to-be-moved SA.  This problem could be
reproduced when xattr=sa enabled as follows:

	ln -s $(perl -e 'print "x" x 120') blah
	setfattr -n security.selinux -v blahblah -h blah

The symlink is large enough to interfere with the spill block pointer and
has a typical SA registration as follows (shown in modified "zdb -dddd"
 format):

	[ ... ZPL_DACL_COUNT ZPL_DACL_ACES ZPL_SYMLINK ]

Adding the SA xattr will attempt to extend the registration to:

	[ ... ZPL_DACL_COUNT ZPL_DACL_ACES ZPL_SYMLINK ZPL_DXATTR ]

but since the ZPL_SYMLINK SA interferes with the spill block pointer, it
must also be moved to the spill block which will have a registration of:

	[ ZPL_SYMLINK ZPL_DXATTR ]

This commit updates extra_hdrsize when this condition occurs, allowing
hdrsize to be subsequently decreased appropriately.

Allow for lock-free reading zfsdev_state_list.

2014-05-19T18:45:11+00:00

Restructure the zfsdev_state_list to allow for lock-free reading by
converting to a simple singly-linked list from which items are never
deleted and over which only forward iterations are performed.  It depends
on, among other things, the atomicity of accessing the zs_minor integer
and zs_next pointer.

This fixes a lock inversion in which the zfsdev_state_lock is used by
both the sync task (txg_sync) and indirectly by any user program which
uses /dev/zfs; the zfsdev_release method uses the same lock and then
blocks on the sync task.

The most typical failure scenerio occurs when the sync task is cleaning
up a user hold while various concurrent "zfs" commands are in progress.

Neither Illumos nor Solaris are affected by this issue because they use
DDI interface which provides lock-free reading of device state via the
ddi_get_soft_state() function.

Use a dedicated taskq for vdev_file

2014-05-14T23:20:21+00:00

Originally, vdev_file used system_taskq. This would cause a deadlock,
especially on system with few CPUs. The reason is that the prefetcher
threads, which are on system_taskq, will sometimes be blocked waiting
for I/O to finish. If the prefetcher threads consume all the tasks in
system_taskq, the I/O cannot be served and thus results in a deadlock.

We fix this by creating a dedicated vdev_file_taskq for vdev_file I/O.

Handle vdev_lookup_top() failure in dva_get_dsize_sync()

2014-05-06T17:41:48+00:00

The dva_get_dsize_sync() function incorrectly assumes that the call
to vdev_lookup_top() cannot fail.  However, the NULL dereference at
clearly shows that under certain circumstances it is possible.  Note
that offset 0x570 (1376) maps as expected to vd->vdev_deflate_ratio.

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000570

  crash> struct -o vdev
  struct vdev {
       [0] uint64_t vdev_id;
       ... ...
    [1376] uint64_t vdev_deflate_ratio;

Given that this can happen this patch add the required error handling.
In the case where vdev_lookup_top() fails assume that no deflation
will occur for the DVA and use the asize.

Check the dataset type more rigorously when fetching properties.

2014-05-06T17:41:46+00:00

When fetching property values of snapshots, a check against the head
dataset type must be performed.  Previously, this additional check was
performed only when fetching "version", "normalize", "utf8only" or "case".

This caused the ZPL properties "acltype", "exec", "devices", "nbmand",
"setuid" and "xattr" to be erroneously displayed with meaningless values
for snapshots of volumes.  It also did not allow for the display of
"volsize" of a snapshot of a volume.

This patch adds the headcheck flag paramater to zfs_prop_valid_for_type()
and zprop_valid_for_type() to indicate the check is being done
against a head dataset's type in order that properties valid only for
snapshots are handled correctly.  This allows the the head check in
get_numeric_property() to be performed when fetching a property for
a snapshot.

Illumos #4101 finer-grained control of metaslab_debug

2014-05-06T16:46:04+00:00

Today the metaslab_debug logic performs two tasks:

- load all metaslabs on import/open
- don't unload metaslabs at the end of spa_sync

This change provides knobs for each of these independently.

References:
  https://illumos.org/issues/4101
  https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/0713e23

Notes:

1) This is a small piece of the metaslab improvement patch from
Illumos. It was worth bringing over before the rest, since it's
low risk and it can be useful on fragmented pools (e.g. Lustre
MDTs). metaslab_debug_unload would give the performance benefit
of the old metaslab_debug option without causing unwanted delay
during pool import.
