If a zvol has more than 15 partitions, the minor device number exhausts
the slot count reserved for partitions next to the zvol itself. As a
result, the minor number cannot be used to determine the partition
number for the higher partition, and doing so results in wrong named
symlinks being generated by udev.
Since the partition number is encoded in the block device name anyway,
let's just extract it from there instead.

This is a potentially arguable change, because it removes some
compatibility cruft that certain systems or people may have come to rely
on (either a very long time ago, or unwisely in recent times).
On the other hand, it's been literally over a decade since OpenZFS
switched to the strategy of using opaque numbered /dev/zd* device nodes,
with the canonical zvol access path being a directory tree of symlinks
created by udev rules inside /dev/zvol/*. (See #102.) Even at the time,
the /dev/* scheme was labeled as being for "compatibility".
This commit removes the second tree of symlinks located directly at
/dev/*, under the assumption that anybody with any sense has been using
the intended /dev/zvol/* path for a very very long time now.
(The more I think about this, the more I anticipate that some large
fraction of people will have been blissfully unaware that the intention
has been for them to use the /dev/zvol/* tree all along, and they will
have come to rely upon the /dev/* tree simply because it's been there
this whole time despite being a compat thing.)

Assignment syntax (=) can be used for the PROGRAM key. But the PROGRAM
key is really a match key, not an assign key. The internal logic used by
udev to decide whether a PROGRAM key "matched" or not (which determines
whether the remainder of the rule is evaluated) depends on whether the
operator was OP_MATCH (==) or OP_NOMATCH (!=). [1]
The man page claims that '"=", ":=", and "+=" have the same effect as
"=="' for PROGRAM keys. And, after a brief perusal, the udev source code
does seem to confirm that operators other than OP_MATCH (==) or
OP_NOMATCH (!=) are implicitly converted to OP_MATCH (==). [2] But it's
not entirely clear that this is definitely the case: anecdotal testing
seems to indicate that when OP_ASSIGN (=) is used, the program's exit
status is disregarded and the remainder of the rule is processed
regardless of whether it was, in fact, a successful exit.
The bottom line here is that, if zvol_id hits some snag and returns a
nonzero exit status, then we almost certainly do NOT want to continue on
with the rule and use whatever the stdout contents may have been to
mindlessly create /dev/zvol/* symlinks. Therefore, let's be extra-sure
and use the match (==) operator explicitly, to eliminate any possibility
that udev might do the wrong thing, and ensure that a nonzero exit
status will definitely short-circuit the rest of the rule, bypassing the
SYMLINK+= assignments.

Historically a dynamic misc minor number was registered for the
/dev/zfs device in order to prevent minor number collisions. This
was fine but it prevented us from being able to use the kernel
module auto-loaded which requires a known reserved value.
Resolve this issue by adding a configure test to find an available
misc minor number which can then be used in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV at
build time. By adding this alias the zfs kmod is added to the list
of known static-nodes and the systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev service
will create a /dev/zfs character device at boot time.
This in turn allows us to update the 90-zfs.rules file to make it
aware this is a static node. The upshot of this is that whenever
a process (zpool, zfs, zed) opens the /dev/zfs the kmods will be
automatic loaded. This even works for unprivileged users so there
is no longer a need to manually load the modules at boot time.
As an additional bonus the zed now no longer needs to start after
the zfs-import.service since it will trigger the module load.
In the unlikely event the minor number we selected conflicts with
another out of tree unregistered minor number the code falls back
to dynamically allocating it. In this case the modules again
must be manually loaded.
Note that due to the change in the method of registering the minor
number the zimport.sh test case may incorrectly fail when the
static node for the installed packages is created instead of the
dynamic one. This issue will only transiently impact zimport.sh
for this single commit when we transition and are mixing and
matching methods.

ZFS allows for specific permissions to be delegated to normal users
with the `zfs allow` and `zfs unallow` commands. In addition, non-
privileged users should be able to run all of the following commands:
* zpool [list | iostat | status | get]
* zfs [list | get]
Historically this functionality was not available on Linux. In order
to add it the secpolicy_* functions needed to be implemented and mapped
to the equivalent Linux capability. Only then could the permissions on
the `/dev/zfs` be relaxed and the internal ZFS permission checks used.
Even with this change some limitations remain. Under Linux only the
root user is allowed to modify the namespace (unless it's a private
namespace). This means the mount, mountpoint, canmount, unmount,
and remount delegations cannot be supported with the existing code. It
may be possible to add this functionality in the future.
This functionality was validated with the cli_user and delegation test
cases from the ZFS Test Suite. These tests exhaustively verify each
of the supported permissions which can be delegated and ensures only
an authorized user can perform it.
Two minor bug fixes were required for test-running.py. First, the
Timer() object cannot be safely created in a `try:` block when there
is an unconditional `finally` block which references it. Second,
when running as a normal user also check for scripts using the
both the .ksh and .sh suffixes.
Finally, existing users who are simulating delegations by setting
group permissions on the /dev/zfs device should revert that
customization when updating to a version with this change.

One of the side effects of calling zvol_create_minors() in
zvol_init() is that all pools listed in the cache file will
be opened. Depending on the state and contents of your pool
this operation can take a considerable length of time.
Doing this at load time is undesirable because the kernel
is holding a global module lock. This prevents other modules
from loading and can serialize an otherwise parallel boot
process. Doing this after module inititialization also
reduces the chances of accidentally introducing a race
during module init.
To ensure that /dev/zvol/<pool>/<dataset> devices are
still automatically created after the module load completes
a udev rules has been added. When udev notices that the
/dev/zfs device has been create the 'zpool list' command
will be run. This then will cause all the pools listed
in the zpool.cache file to be opened.
Because this process in now driven asynchronously by udev
there is the risk of problems in downstream distributions.

Add a vdev_id feature to map device names based on already defined
udev device links. To increase the odds that vdev_id will run after
the rules it depends on, increase the vdev.rules rule number from 60
to 69. With this change, vdev_id now provides functionality analogous
to zpool_id and zpool_layout, paving the way to retire those tools.
A defined alias takes precedence over a topology-derived name, but the
two naming methods can otherwise coexist. For example, one might name
drives in a JBOD with the sas_direct topology while naming an internal
L2ARC device with an alias.
For example, the following lines in vdev_id.conf will result in the
creation of links /dev/disk/by-vdev/{d1,d2}, each pointing to the same
target as the device link specified in the third field.
# by-vdev
# name fully qualified or base name of device link
alias d1 /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c5002de3b9ca

write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).

Currently, zpool online -e (dynamic vdev expansion) doesn't work on
whole disks because we're invoking ioctl(BLKRRPART) from userspace
while ZFS still has a partition open on the disk, which results in
EBUSY.
This patch moves the BLKRRPART invocation from the zpool utility to the
module. Specifically, this is done just before opening the device in
vdev_disk_open() which is called inside vdev_reopen(). This requires
jumping through some hoops to get to the disk device from the partition
device, and to make sure we can still open the partition after the
BLKRRPART call.
Note that this new code path is triggered on dynamic vdev expansion
only; other actions, like creating a new pool, are unchanged and still
call BLKRRPART from userspace.
This change also depends on API changes which are available in 2.6.37
and latter kernels. The build system has been updated to detect this,
but there is no compatibility mode for older kernels. This means that
online expansion will NOT be available in older kernels. However, it
will still be possible to expand the vdev offline.

vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path
in a storage topology to a channel name. The channel name is combined
with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the
physical location of the drive. This is particularly helpful when it
comes to tasks like replacing failed drives. Slot numbers may also be
re-mapped in case the default numbering is unsatisfactory. The drive
aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev.
The only currently supported topologies are sas_direct and sas_switch:
o sas_direct - a channel is uniquely identified by a PCI slot and a
HBA port
o sas_switch - a channel is uniquely identified by a SAS switch port
A multipath mode is supported in which dm-mpath devices are handled by
examining the first running component disk, as reported by 'multipath
-l'. In multipath mode the configuration file should contain a
channel definition with the same name for each path to a given
enclosure.
vdev_id can replace the existing zpool_id script on systems where the
storage topology conforms to sas_direct or sas_switch. The script
could be extended to support other topologies as well. The advantage
of vdev_id is that it is driven by a single static input file that can
be shared across multiple nodes having a common storage toplogy.
zpool_id, on the other hand, requires a unique /etc/zfs/zdev.conf per
node and a separate slot-mapping file. However, zpool_id provides the
flexibility of using any device names that show up in
/dev/disk/by-path, so it may still be needed on some systems.
vdev_id's functionality subsumes that of the sas_switch_id script, and
it is unlikely that anyone is using it, so sas_switch_id is removed.
Finally, /dev/disk/by-vdev is added to the list of directories that
'zpool import' will scan.

low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.
Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.

Currently only the (FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) flag combination is
supported, since it's the only one that matches the behavior of
zfs_space(). This makes it pretty much useless in its current
form, but it's a start.
To support other flag combinations we would need to modify
zfs_space() to make it more flexible, or emulate the desired
functionality in zpl_fallocate().

Issue #334
The Linux block device queue subsystem exposes a number of configurable
settings described in Linux block/blk-settings.c. The defaults for these
settings are tuned for hard drives, and are not optimized for ZVOLs. Proper
configuration of these options would allow upper layers (I/O scheduler) to
take better decisions about write merging and ordering.
Detailed rationale:
- max_hw_sectors is set to unlimited (UINT_MAX). zvol_write() is able to
handle writes of any size, so there's no reason to impose a limit. Let the
upper layer decide.
- max_segments and max_segment_size are set to unlimited. zvol_write() will
copy the requests' contents into a dbuf anyway, so the number and size of
the segments are irrelevant. Let the upper layer decide.
- physical_block_size and io_opt are set to the ZVOL's block size. This
has the potential to somewhat alleviate issue #361 for ZVOLs, by warning
the upper layers that writes smaller than the volume's block size will be
slow.
- The NONROT flag is set to indicate this isn't a rotational device.
Although the backing zpool might be composed of rotational devices, the
resulting ZVOL often doesn't exhibit the same behavior due to the COW
mechanisms used by ZFS. Setting this flag will prevent upper layers from
making useless decisions (such as reordering writes) based on incorrect
assumptions about the behavior of the ZVOL.

zvol_write() assumes that the write request must be written to stable storage
if rq_is_sync() is true. Unfortunately, this assumption is incorrect. Indeed,
"sync" does *not* mean what we think it means in the context of the Linux
block layer. This is well explained in linux/fs.h:
WRITE: A normal async write. Device will be plugged.
WRITE_SYNC: Synchronous write. Identical to WRITE, but passes down
the hint that someone will be waiting on this IO
shortly.
WRITE_FLUSH: Like WRITE_SYNC but with preceding cache flush.
WRITE_FUA: Like WRITE_SYNC but data is guaranteed to be on
non-volatile media on completion.
In other words, SYNC does not *mean* that the write must be on stable storage
on completion. It just means that someone is waiting on us to complete the
write request. Thus triggering a ZIL commit for each SYNC write request on a
ZVOL is unnecessary and harmful for performance. To make matters worse, ZVOL
users have no way to express that they actually want data to be written to
stable storage, which means the ZIL is broken for ZVOLs.
The request for stable storage is expressed by the FUA flag, so we must
commit the ZIL after the write if the FUA flag is set. In addition, we must
commit the ZIL before the write if the FLUSH flag is set.
Also, we must inform the block layer that we actually support FLUSH and FUA.

The second argument of sops->show_options() was changed from a
'struct vfsmount *' to a 'struct dentry *'. Add an autoconf check
to detect the API change and then conditionally define the expected
interface. In either case we are only interested in the zfs_sb_t.

The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem
shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior
to this change there was one shared global shrinker.
The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when
the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop
references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC
could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and
honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem
shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable.
This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker
interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The
major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target
only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we
can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems.
In the context of making this change several other important
issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include:
* The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC
to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic
zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to
drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates
back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by
other ARC consumers such as Lustre.
arc_add_prune_callback()
arc_remove_prune_callback()
* The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to
arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to
Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already.
The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the
prune callback will request when invoked.
* Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call
this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not
strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of
dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit
is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from
the ARC cache.
* More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading
meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled
notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune.
* Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC
is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember
this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it
can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback
it will.
* This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses
of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the
arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c
value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache
when really we just needed to reclaim meta data.

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.

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.

This rule does not need to be dracut specific. Automatically loading
the zfs module stack when a zfs device is detected is usually desirable.
My only concern is that this might cause trouble for large pools where
we don't want to automatically import the pool until all the disks are
available. However, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
