Adding O_DIRECT support to ZFS to bypass the ARC for writes/reads.
O_DIRECT support in ZFS will always ensure there is coherency between
buffered and O_DIRECT IO requests. This ensures that all IO requests,
whether buffered or direct, will see the same file contents at all
times. Just as in other FS's , O_DIRECT does not imply O_SYNC. While
data is written directly to VDEV disks, metadata will not be synced
until the associated TXG is synced.
For both O_DIRECT read and write request the offset and request sizes,
at a minimum, must be PAGE_SIZE aligned. In the event they are not,
then EINVAL is returned unless the direct property is set to always (see
below).
For O_DIRECT writes:
The request also must be block aligned (recordsize) or the write
request will take the normal (buffered) write path. In the event that
request is block aligned and a cached copy of the buffer in the ARC,
then it will be discarded from the ARC forcing all further reads to
retrieve the data from disk.
For O_DIRECT reads:
The only alignment restrictions are PAGE_SIZE alignment. In the event
that the requested data is in buffered (in the ARC) it will just be
copied from the ARC into the user buffer.
For both O_DIRECT writes and reads the O_DIRECT flag will be ignored in
the event that file contents are mmap'ed. In this case, all requests
that are at least PAGE_SIZE aligned will just fall back to the buffered
paths. If the request however is not PAGE_SIZE aligned, EINVAL will
be returned as always regardless if the file's contents are mmap'ed.
Since O_DIRECT writes go through the normal ZIO pipeline, the
following operations are supported just as with normal buffered writes:
Checksum
Compression
Encryption
Erasure Coding
There is one caveat for the data integrity of O_DIRECT writes that is
distinct for each of the OS's supported by ZFS.
FreeBSD - FreeBSD is able to place user pages under write protection so
any data in the user buffers and written directly down to the
VDEV disks is guaranteed to not change. There is no concern
with data integrity and O_DIRECT writes.
Linux - Linux is not able to place anonymous user pages under write
protection. Because of this, if the user decides to manipulate
the page contents while the write operation is occurring, data
integrity can not be guaranteed. However, there is a module
parameter `zfs_vdev_direct_write_verify` that controls the
if a O_DIRECT writes that can occur to a top-level VDEV before
a checksum verify is run before the contents of the I/O buffer
are committed to disk. In the event of a checksum verification
failure the write will return EIO. The number of O_DIRECT write
checksum verification errors can be observed by doing
`zpool status -d`, which will list all verification errors that
have occurred on a top-level VDEV. Along with `zpool status`, a
ZED event will be issues as `dio_verify` when a checksum
verification error occurs.
ZVOLs and dedup is not currently supported with Direct I/O.
A new dataset property `direct` has been added with the following 3
allowable values:
disabled - Accepts O_DIRECT flag, but silently ignores it and treats
the request as a buffered IO request.
standard - Follows the alignment restrictions outlined above for
write/read IO requests when the O_DIRECT flag is used.
always - Treats every write/read IO request as though it passed
O_DIRECT and will do O_DIRECT if the alignment restrictions
are met otherwise will redirect through the ARC. This
property will not allow a request to fail.
There is also a module parameter zfs_dio_enabled that can be used to
force all reads and writes through the ARC. By setting this module
parameter to 0, it mimics as if the direct dataset property is set to
disabled.

For block cloning, if we mmap the cloned file and write from the
map into the file, it triggers a panic in dbuf_redirty() on Linux.
The same scenario causes data corruption on FreeBSD. Both these
issues are fixed under PR#15656 and PR#15665.
It would be good to add a test for this scenario in ZTS. The test
program and issue was produced by @robn.

Implement support for Linux's RENAME_* flags (for renameat2). Aside from
being quite useful for userspace (providing race-free ways to exchange
paths and implement mv --no-clobber), they are used by overlayfs and are
thus required in order to use overlayfs-on-ZFS.
In order for us to represent the new renameat2(2) flags in the ZIL, we
create two new transaction types for the two flags which need
transactional-level support (RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_WHITEOUT).
RENAME_NOREPLACE does not need any ZIL support because we know that if
the operation succeeded before creating the ZIL entry, there was no file
to be clobbered and thus it can be treated as a regular TX_RENAME.

This commit adds BLAKE3 checksums to OpenZFS, it has similar
performance to Edon-R, but without the caveats around the latter.
Homepage of BLAKE3: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3
Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)#BLAKE3
Short description of Wikipedia:
BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function based on Bao and BLAKE2,
created by Jack O'Connor, Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, and
Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was announced on January 9, 2020, at Real
World Crypto. BLAKE3 is a single algorithm with many desirable
features (parallelism, XOF, KDF, PRF and MAC), in contrast to BLAKE
and BLAKE2, which are algorithm families with multiple variants.
BLAKE3 has a binary tree structure, so it supports a practically
unlimited degree of parallelism (both SIMD and multithreading) given
enough input. The official Rust and C implementations are
dual-licensed as public domain (CC0) and the Apache License.
Along with adding the BLAKE3 hash into the OpenZFS infrastructure a
new benchmarking file called chksum_bench was introduced. When read
it reports the speed of the available checksum functions.
On Linux: cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/chksum_bench
On FreeBSD: sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.chksum_bench

- 2x assembly for ARMv8 (NEON converted from SSE2)
- 2x assembly for PPC64-LE (POWER8 converted from SSE2)
- one file for switching between the implementations
Note the PPC64 assembly requires the VSX instruction set and the
kfpu_begin() / kfpu_end() calls on PowerPC were updated accordingly.

Page writebacks with WB_SYNC_NONE can take several seconds to complete
since they wait for the transaction group to close before being
committed. This is usually not a problem since the caller does not
need to wait. However, if we're simultaneously doing a writeback
with WB_SYNC_ALL (e.g via msync), the latter can block for several
seconds (up to zfs_txg_timeout) due to the active WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback since it needs to wait for the transaction to complete
and the PG_writeback bit to be cleared.
This commit deals with 2 cases:
- No page writeback is active. A WB_SYNC_ALL page writeback starts
and even completes. But when it's about to check if the PG_writeback
bit has been cleared, another writeback with WB_SYNC_NONE starts.
The sync page writeback ends up waiting for the non-sync page
writeback to complete.
- A page writeback with WB_SYNC_NONE is already active when a
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback starts. The WB_SYNC_ALL writeback ends up
waiting for the WB_SYNC_NONE writeback.
The fix works by carefully keeping track of active sync/non-sync
writebacks and committing when beneficial.
