# 254025 07-Aug-2013 jeff

Replace kernel virtual address space allocation with vmem. This provides
transparent layering and better fragmentation.

- Normalize functions that allocate memory to use kmem_*
- Those that allocate address space are named kva_*
- Those that operate on maps are named kmap_*
- Implement recursive allocation handling for kmem_arena in vmem.

# 219089 27-Feb-2011 pjd

Finally... Import the latest open-source ZFS version - (SPA) 28.

Few new things available from now on:

- Data deduplication.
- Triple parity RAIDZ (RAIDZ3).
- zfs diff.
- zpool split.
- Snapshot holds.
- zpool import -F. Allows to rewind corrupted pool to earlier
transaction group.
- Possibility to import pool in read-only mode.

opensolaris_kmem kmem_size(): report lesser of vm_kmem_size and available
physical memory

This is needed to correctly autotune ZFS ARC size when vm_kmem_size is
set to value larger than available physical memory.

# 185029 17-Nov-2008 pjd

Update ZFS from version 6 to 13 and bring some FreeBSD-specific changes.

This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:

- Delegated Administration

Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.

- L2ARC

Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.

- slog

Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).

- vfs.zfs.super_owner

Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.

- chflags(2)

Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.

- ZFSBoot

Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties

- New failure modes

Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests

- Refquota, refreservation properties

Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.

- Sparse volumes

ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.

- External attributes

Compatible with extattr(2).

- NFSv4-ACLs

Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.

- Creation-time properties

- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.

# 184701 05-Nov-2008 rodrigc

Remove definition of KMEM_DEBUG accidentally brought in by latest DTrace
import.

Noticed by: thompsa


# 184698 05-Nov-2008 rodrigc

Merge latest DTrace changes from Perforce.


# 179293 24-May-2008 bz

Remove redundant redeclaration of 'zone_drain'.


# 177698 28-Mar-2008 jb

Forced commit to note that these files were repo copied.


# 175632 24-Jan-2008 pjd

Change type of kmem_used() and kmem_size() functions to uint64_t, so it
doesn't overflow in arc.c in this check:

if (kmem_used() > (kmem_size() * 4) / 5)
return (1);

With this bug ZFS almost doesn't cache.

Only 32bit machines are affected that have vm.kmem_size set to values >=1GB.

# 168566 10-Apr-2007 pjd

Try to stabilize ZFS with regard to memory consumption:
- Allow to shrink ARC down to 16MB (instead of 64MB).
- Set arc_max to 1/2 of kmem_map by default.
- Start freeing things earlier when low memory situation is detected.
- Serialize execution of arc_lowmem().

I decided to setup minimum ZFS memory requirements to 512MB of RAM and 256MB of
kmem_map size. If there is less RAM or kmem_map, a warning will be printed.
World is cruel, be no better. In other words: modern file system requires
modern hardware:)

From ZFS administration guide:

"Currently the minimum amount of memory recommended to install a Solaris
system is 512 Mbytes. However, for good ZFS performance, at least one
Gbyte or more of memory is recommended."


# 168404 05-Apr-2007 pjd

Please welcome ZFS - The last word in file systems.

ZFS file system was ported from OpenSolaris operating system. The code in under
CDDL license.

I'd like to thank all SUN developers that created this great piece of software.
