# 249319 09-Apr-2013 mm

ZFS expects a copyout of zfs_cmd_t on an ioctl error. Our sys_ioctl()
doesn't copyout in this case.

To solve this issue a new struct zfs_iocparm_t is introduced consisting of:
- zfs_ioctl_version (future backwards compatibility purposes)
- user space pointer to zfs_cmd_t (copyin and copyout)
- size of zfs_cmd_t (verification purposes)

The copyin and copyout of zfs_cmd_t is now done the illumos (vendor) way
what makes porting of new changes easier and ensures correct behavior if
returning an error.

# 248571 21-Mar-2013 mm

Merge libzfs_core branch:
includes MFV 238590, 238592, 247580

MFV 238590, 238592:
In the first zfs ioctl restructuring phase, the libzfs_core library was
introduced. It is a new thin library that wraps around kernel ioctl's.
The idea is to provide a forward-compatible way of dealing with new
features. Arguments are passed in nvlists and not random zfs_cmd fields,
new-style ioctls are logged to pool history using a new method of
history logging.

MFV 247580 [1]:
To address issues of several deadlocks and race conditions the locking
code around dsl_dataset was rewritten and the interface to synctasks
was changed.

User-Visible Changes:
"zfs snapshot" can create more arbitrary snapshots at once (atomically)
"zfs destroy" destroys multiple snapshots at once
"zfs recv" has improved performance

Backward Compatibility:
I have extended the compatibility layer to support full backward
compatibility by remapping or rewriting the responsible ioctl arguments.
Old utilities are fully supported by the new kernel module.

Forward Compatibility:
New utilities work with old kernels with the following restrictions:
- creating, destroying, holding and releasing of multiple snapshots
at once is not supported, this includes recursive (-r) commands

Illumos ZFS issues:
2882 implement libzfs_core
2900 "zfs snapshot" should be able to create multiple,
arbitrary snapshots at once
3464 zfs synctask code needs restructuring

# 247540 01-Mar-2013 mm

Fix the zfs_ioctl compat layer to support zfs_cmd size change introduced
in r247265 (ZFS deadman thread). Both new utilities now support the old
kernel and new kernel properly detects old utilities.

For future backwards compatibility, the vfs.zfs.version.ioctl read-only
sysctl has been introduced. With this sysctl zfs utilities will be able
to detect the ioctl interface version of the currently loaded zfs module.

As a side effect, the zfs utilities between r247265 and this revision don't
support the old kernel module. If you are using HEAD newer or equal than
r247265, install the new kernel module (or whole kernel) first.

# 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.
