Vdev Properties Feature Add properties, similar to pool properties, to each vdev. This makes use of the existing per-vdev ZAP that was added as part of device evacuation/removal. A large number of read-only properties are exposed, many of the members of struct vdev_t, that provide useful statistics. Adds support for read-only "removing" vdev property. Adds the "allocating" property that defaults to "on" and can be set to "off" to prevent future allocations from that top-level vdev. Supports user-defined vdev properties. Includes support for properties.vdev in SYSFS.

Allow to control failfast Linux defaults to setting "failfast" on BIOs, so that the OS will not retry IOs that fail, and instead report the error to ZFS. In some cases, such as errors reported by the HBA driver, not the device itself, we would wish to retry rather than generating vdev errors in ZFS. This new property allows that. This introduces a per vdev option to disable the failfast option. This also introduces a global module parameter to define the failfast mask value.

.Nd native and user-defined properties of ZFS vdevs
.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined
.Pq or Qq user
properties.
Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS behavior.
In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only.
User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but you can use them to annotate
vdevs in a way that is meaningful in your environment.
For more information about user properties, see the
.Sx User Properties
section, below.
.
.Ss Native Properties
Every vdev has a set of properties that export statistics about the vdev
as well as control various behaviors.
Configure zed's diagnosis engine with vdev properties Introduce four new vdev properties: checksum_n checksum_t io_n io_t These properties can be used for configuring the thresholds of zed's diagnosis engine and are interpeted as <N> events in T <seconds>. When this property is set to a non-default value on a top-level vdev, those thresholds will also apply to its leaf vdevs. This behavior can be overridden by explicitly setting the property on the leaf vdev. Note that, these properties do not persist across vdev replacement. For this reason, it is advisable to set the property on the top-level vdev instead of the leaf vdev. The default values for zed's diagnosis engine (10 events, 600 seconds) remains unchanged.

Add slow disk diagnosis to ZED Slow disk response times can be indicative of a failing drive. ZFS currently tracks slow I/Os (slower than zio_slow_io_ms) and generates events (ereport.fs.zfs.delay). However, no action is taken by ZED, like is done for checksum or I/O errors. This change adds slow disk diagnosis to ZED which is opt-in using new VDEV properties: VDEV_PROP_SLOW_IO_N VDEV_PROP_SLOW_IO_T If multiple VDEVs in a pool are undergoing slow I/Os, then it skips the zpool_vdev_degrade().

.Ss User Properties
In addition to the standard native properties, ZFS supports arbitrary user
properties.
User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but applications or
administrators can use them to annotate vdevs.
.Pp
User property names must contain a colon
.Pq Qq Sy \&:
character to distinguish them from native properties.
They may contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation
characters: colon
.Pq Qq Sy \&: ,
dash
.Pq Qq Sy - ,
period
.Pq Qq Sy \&. ,
and underscore
.Pq Qq Sy _ .
The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
such as
.Ar module : Ns Ar property ,
but this namespace is not enforced by ZFS.
User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
.Pq Qq Sy - .
.Pp
When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to use
a reversed DNS domain name for the
.Ar module
component of property names to reduce the chance that two
independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
purposes.
.Pp
The values of user properties are arbitrary strings and
are never validated.
Use the
.Nm zpool Cm set
command with a blank value to clear a user property.
Property values are limited to 8192 bytes.
