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.

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`.

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.

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.

* pressure, before running completely out of memory and invoking the
* direct-reclaim ARC shrinker.
*
* This should be more than twice high_wmark_pages(), so that
* arc_wait_for_eviction() will wait until at least the
* high_wmark_pages() are free (see arc_evict_state_impl()).
*
* Note: Even when the system is very low on memory, the kernel's
* shrinker code may only ask for one "batch" of pages (512KB) to be
* evicted. If concurrent allocations consume these pages, there may
* still be insufficient free pages, and the OOM killer takes action.
*
* By setting arc_sys_free large enough, and having
* arc_wait_for_eviction() wait until there is at least arc_sys_free/2
* free memory, it is much less likely that concurrent allocations can
* consume all the memory that was evicted before checking for
* OOM.
*
* It's hard to iterate the zones from a linux kernel module, which
* makes it difficult to determine the watermark dynamically. Instead
* we compute the maximum high watermark for this system, based
* on the amount of memory, assuming default parameters on Linux kernel
* 5.3.

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.

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.
