Description Enji Cooper freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-02 17:38:00 UTC
We don’t support querying for posix_falloc support at the filesystem level, but we probably should.

Here’s the Austin bug from 2013 for reference: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=687 .

Here’s one part of where it should be supported: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/sys/unistd.h?revision=306651
Comment 1 Mark Millard 2017-11-04 11:04:12 UTC
FYI:

lld is now broken on zfs because it use fallocate.
I had this happen for a amd64 -> aarch64 cross
buildworld where it refused to try to deal
with making a libc.so.7.full file.

llvm has the code (note the EOPNOTSUPP use):

std::error_code resize_file(int FD, uint64_t Size) {
#if defined(HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE)
 // If we have posix_fallocate use it. Unlike ftruncate it always allocates
 // space, so we get an error if the disk is full.
 if (int Err = ::posix_fallocate(FD, 0, Size)) {
   if (Err != EOPNOTSUPP)
     return std::error_code(Err, std::generic_category());
 }
#endif
 // Use ftruncate as a fallback. It may or may not allocate space. At least on
 // OS X with HFS+ it does.
 if (::ftruncate(FD, Size) == -1)
   return std::error_code(errno, std::generic_category());

 return std::error_code();
}


See, for example,

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-toolchain/2017-November/003413.html

for other details that lead to the eventual
error message from lld.

I reverted to using devel/aarch64-binutils
for now.

(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #1)

Note: I'm not sure I can self host a buildworld
involving lld on amd64 at this point: lld is
likely broken in the same way as the cross
compiler was, as of when I jumped to:

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD FreeBSDx64OPC 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT  r325369M  amd64 amd64 1200052 1200052

from before the disabling of fallocate.

I may have to use binutils to do the next
update.

Please file a separate bug for this. Thanks!
Comment 4 Mark Millard 2017-11-05 00:24:10 UTC
(In reply to Ngie Cooper from comment #3)

Done.

Bugzilla 223440 notes lld and possibly
more in world that needs review and
possible adjustment.

Ed Maste already has a patch on the lists
for llvm in order for lld to be well
behaved. See:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2017-November/067432.html

It fixed the problem that I saw.

I do not know if any of the existing use
would ever be adjusted to use what is
proposed here or not. It does not seem
likely for the llvm code involved in lld:
Ed's change looks appropriate to that
context to me.

  lld: accept EINVAL to indicate posix_fallocate is unsupported

  As of r325320 posix_fallocate on a ZFS filesystem returns EINVAL to
  indicate that the operation is not supported. (I think this is a strange
  choice of errno on the part of POSIX.)

Note that POSIX has not yet settled on a pathconf() variable for fallocate.  That link is just a discussion, but we can't implement it until they decide to adopt something.

Thank you!

(In reply to commit-hook from comment #9)

Note: I reported devel/llvm50 but I do not have
devel/llvm40 or earlier installed to test.

I'd not be surprised if a large range of:

devel/llvm*

were broken on zfs after the fallocate fix for
zfs.
Comment 12 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-13 00:46:50 UTC
devel/llvm40 could probably make effective use of the change (if the issue also exists there).  On earlier versions LLD is probably not usable enough to worry.

llvm40 and llvm50 had the issue.  llvm39 does not include posix_fallocate() use and I assume earlier versions do not as well.  I'll be updating llvm-devel to pick up the fix from upstream and patching llvm-cheri* soon.
