Several improvements to ARC shrinking (#16197)
- When receiving memory pressure signal from OS be more strict
trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and
request much more. Return as result how much arc_c was actually
reduced due to this request, that may be less than requested.
- On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system
(that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just
shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may
cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on
other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While
not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too
late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better
than doing nothing at all.
- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,
or it may grow back while we are waiting.
- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance
ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems.
- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.

Enable use of DTRACE_PROBE* macros in "spl" module
This change modifies some of the infrastructure for enabling the use of
the DTRACE_PROBE* macros, such that we can use tehm in the "spl" module.
Currently, when the DTRACE_PROBE* macros are used, they get expanded to
create new functions, and these dynamically generated functions become
part of the "zfs" module.
Since the "spl" module does not depend on the "zfs" module, the use of
DTRACE_PROBE* in the "spl" module would result in undefined symbols
being used in the "spl" module. Specifically, DTRACE_PROBE* would turn
into a function call, and the function being called would be a symbol
only contained in the "zfs" module; which results in a linker and/or
runtime error.
Thus, this change adds the necessary logic to the "spl" module, to
mirror the tracing functionality available to the "zfs" module. After
this change, we'll have a "trace_zfs.h" header file which defines the
probes available only to the "zfs" module, and a "trace_spl.h" header
file which defines the probes available only to the "spl" module.

Revise ARC shrinker algorithm
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc5 ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

Revise SPL wrapper for shrinker callbacks
The SPL provides a wrapper for the kernel's shrinker callbacks, which
enables the ZFS code to interface with multiple versions of the shrinker
API's from different kernel versions. Specifically, Linux kernels 3.0 -
3.11 has a single "combined" callback, and Linux kernels 3.12 and later
have two "split" callbacks. The SPL provides a wrapper function so that
the ZFS code only needs to implement one version of the callbacks.
Currently the SPL's wrappers are designed such that the ZFS code
implements the older, "combined" callback. There are a few downsides to
this approach:
* The general design within ZFS is for the latest Linux kernel to be
considered the "first class" API.
* The newer, "split" callback API is easier to understand, because each
callback has one purpose.
* The current wrappers do not completely abstract out the differing
API's, so ZFS code needs `#ifdef` code to handle the differing return
values required for different kernel versions.
This commit addresses these drawbacks by having the ZFS code provide the
latest, "split" callbacks, and the SPL provides a wrapping function for
the older, "combined" API.

Revise ARC shrinker algorithm
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc5 ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,

- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance

- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.

To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

Several improvements to ARC shrinking (#16197)
- When receiving memory pressure signal from OS be more strict
trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and
request much more. Return as result how much arc_c was actually
reduced due to this request, that may be less than requested.
- On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system
(that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just
shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may
cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on
other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While
not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too
late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better
than doing nothing at all.
- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,
or it may grow back while we are waiting.
- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance
ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems.
- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.

Clean up OS-specific ARC and kmem code
OS-specific code (e.g. under `module/os/linux`) does not need to share
its code structure with any other operating systems. In particular, the
ARC and kmem code need not be similar to the code in illumos, because we
won't be syncing this OS-specific code between operating systems. For
example, if/when illumos support is added to the common repo, we would
add a file `module/os/illumos/zfs/arc_os.c` for the illumos versions of
this code.
Therefore, we can simplify the code in the OS-specific ARC and kmem
routines.
These changes do not impact system behavior, they are purely code
cleanup. The changes are:
Arenas are not used on Linux or FreeBSD (they are always `NULL`), so
`heap_arena`, `zio_arena`, and `zio_alloc_arena` can be removed, along
with code that uses them.
In `arc_available_memory()`:
* `desfree` is unused, remove it
* rename `freemem` to avoid conflict with pre-existing `#define`
* remove checks related to arenas
* use units of bytes, rather than converting from bytes to pages and
then back to bytes
`SPL_KMEM_CACHE_REAP` is unused, remove it.
`skc_reap` is unused, remove it.
The `count` argument to `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()` is unused, remove

`vmem_size()` and associated type and macros are unused, remove them.
In `arc_memory_throttle()`, use a less confusing variable name to store
the result of `arc_free_memory()`.

Revise ARC shrinker algorithm
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc5 ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

Several improvements to ARC shrinking (#16197)

trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and

- On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system
(that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just
shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may
cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on
other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While
not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too
late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better
than doing nothing at all.
- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,
or it may grow back while we are waiting.
- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance
ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems.
- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.

Revise ARC shrinker algorithm
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc5 ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.

Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

Several improvements to ARC shrinking (#16197)
- When receiving memory pressure signal from OS be more strict
trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and
request much more. Return as result how much arc_c was actually
reduced due to this request, that may be less than requested.
- On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system
(that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just
shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may
cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on
other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While
not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too
late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better
than doing nothing at all.
- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,
or it may grow back while we are waiting.
- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance
ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems.
- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.

Revise ARC shrinker algorithm
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc5 ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

Cleanup: 64-bit kernel module parameters should use fixed width types
Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:
Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:
* dbuf_cache_max_bytes
* dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
* l2arc_feed_min_ms
* l2arc_feed_secs
* l2arc_headroom
* l2arc_headroom_boost
* l2arc_write_boost
* l2arc_write_max
* metaslab_aliquot
* metaslab_force_ganging
* zfetch_array_rd_sz
* zfs_arc_max
* zfs_arc_meta_limit
* zfs_arc_meta_min
* zfs_arc_min
* zfs_async_block_max_blocks
* zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
* zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
* zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
* zfs_initialize_chunk_size
* zfs_initialize_value
* zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
* zfs_lua_max_memlimit
* zil_slog_bulk
Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:
* zfs_immediate_write_sz
Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.
Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:
* l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zfs_max_log_walking
* zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
* zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
* zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
* zfs_multihost_interval
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm
New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:
* l2arc_trim_ahead
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_sys_free
* zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_history_output_max
* zfs_livelist_max_entries
* zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
* zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
* zfs_rebuild_max_segment
* zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
* zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.
A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
* zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
* zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong
The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.
In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.
Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

Cleanup: 64-bit kernel module parameters should use fixed width types
Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:

Revise ARC shrinker algorithm
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc5 ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

Several improvements to ARC shrinking (#16197)
- When receiving memory pressure signal from OS be more strict
trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and
request much more. Return as result how much arc_c was actually
reduced due to this request, that may be less than requested.
- On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system
(that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just
shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may
cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on
other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While
not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too
late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better
than doing nothing at all.
- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,
or it may grow back while we are waiting.
- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance
ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems.
- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.
