379ca9cf2b Multi-modifier protection (MMP)
Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP.  When enabled
a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a
set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported.
These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated
timestamp.  Property defaults to off.

During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp)
repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock.  Include the
results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport.
These results are reported to user in "zpool import".

Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the
duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter
zfs_multihost_interval.  The period is specified in milliseconds.  The
activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the
mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially.

Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier
Protection (MMP) updates. Include the last synced txg number, the
timestamp, the delay since the last MMP update, the VDEV GUID, the VDEV
label that received the last MMP update, and the VDEV path.  Abbreviated
output below.

Add a new tunable zfs_multihost_history to specify the number of MMP
updates to store history for. By default it is set to zero meaning that
no MMP statistics are stored.

When using ztest to generate activity, for automated tests of the MMP
function, some test functions interfere with the test.  For example, the
pool is exported to run zdb and then imported again.  Add a new ztest
function, "-M", to alter ztest behavior to prevent this.

Add new tests to verify the new functionality.  Tests provided by
Giuseppe Di Natale.

3d6da72d18 Skip spurious resilver IO on raidz vdev
On a raidz vdev, a block that does not span all child vdevs, excluding
its skip sectors if any, may not be affected by a child vdev outage or
failure. In such cases, the block does not need to be resilvered.
However, current resilver algorithm simply resilvers all blocks on a
degraded raidz vdev. Such spurious IO is not only wasteful, but also
adds the risk of overwriting good data.

This patch eliminates such spurious IOs.

193a37cb24 Add -lhHpw options to "zpool iostat" for avg latency, histograms, & queues
Update the zfs module to collect statistics on average latencies, queue sizes,
and keep an internal histogram of all IO latencies.  Along with this, update
"zpool iostat" with some new options to print out the stats:

-p: Display numbers in parseable (exact) values.

Also, update iostat syntax to allow the user to specify specific vdevs
to show statistics for.  The three options for choosing pools/vdevs are:

Display a list of pools:
    zpool iostat ... [pool ...]

Display a list of vdevs from a specific pool:
    zpool iostat ... [pool vdev ...]

Display a list of vdevs from any pools:
    zpool iostat ... [vdev ...]

Lastly, allow zpool command "interval" value to be floating point:
    zpool iostat -v 0.5

9f500936c8 FreeBSD r256956: Improve ZFS N-way mirror read performance by using load and locality information.
The existing algorithm selects a preferred leaf vdev based on offset of the zio
request modulo the number of members in the mirror. It assumes the devices are
of equal performance and that spreading the requests randomly over both drives
will be sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the leaf vdevs
being under utilized.

The new algorithm takes into the following additional factors:
* Load of the vdevs (number outstanding I/O requests)
* The locality of last queued I/O vs the new I/O request.

Within the locality calculation additional knowledge about the underlying vdev
is considered such as; is the device backing the vdev a rotating media device.

This results in performance increases across the board as well as significant
increases for predominantly streaming loads and for configurations which don't
have evenly performing devices.

The following are results from a setup with 3 Way Mirror with 2 x HD's and
1 x SSD from a basic test running multiple parrallel dd's.

With pre-fetch disabled (vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1):

== Stripe Balanced (default) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 161 seconds @ 95 MB/s
== Load Balanced (zfslinux) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 297 seconds @ 51 MB/s
== Load Balanced (locality freebsd) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 54 seconds @ 284 MB/s

With pre-fetch enabled (vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0):

== Stripe Balanced (default) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 91 seconds @ 168 MB/s
== Load Balanced (zfslinux) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 108 seconds @ 142 MB/s
== Load Balanced (locality freebsd) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 48 seconds @ 320 MB/s

In addition to the performance changes the code was also restructured, with
the help of Justin Gibbs, to provide a more logical flow which also ensures
vdevs loads are only calculated from the set of valid candidates.

The following additional sysctls where added to allow the administrator
to tune the behaviour of the load algorithm:
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_seek_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_seek_offset
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.non_rotating_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.non_rotating_seek_inc

These changes where based on work started by the zfsonlinux developers:

Porting notes:
- The tunables were adjusted to have ZoL-style names.
- The code was modified to use ZoL's vd_nonrot.
- Fixes were done to make cstyle.pl happy
- Merge conflicts were handled manually
- freebsd/freebsd@e186f564bc by my
  collegue Andriy Gapon has been included. It applied perfectly, but
  added a cstyle regression.
- This replaces 556011dbec entirely.
- A typo "IO'a" has been corrected to say "IO's"
- Descriptions of new tunables were added to man/man5/zfs-module-parameters.5.

NOTES: This patch has been reworked from the original in the
following ways to accomidate Linux ZFS implementation

*) Usage of the cyclic interface was replaced by the delayed taskq
   interface.  This avoids the need to implement new compatibility
   code and allows us to rely on the existing taskq implementation.

*) An extern for zfs_txg_synctime_ms was added to sys/dsl_pool.h
   because declaring externs in source files as was done in the
   original patch is just plain wrong.

*) Instead of panicing the system when the deadman triggers a
   zevent describing the blocked vdev and the first pending I/O
   is posted.  If the panic behavior is desired Linux provides
   other generic methods to panic the system when threads are
   observed to hang.

*) For reference, to delay zios by 30 seconds for testing you can
   use zinject as follows: 'zinject -d <vdev> -D30 <pool>'

6c2856726f Fix using zvol as slog device
During the original ZoL port the vdev_uses_zvols() function was
disabled until it could be properly implemented.  This prevented
a zpool from use a zvol for its slog device.

This patch implements that missing functionality by adding a
zvol_is_zvol() function to zvol.c.  Given the full path to a
device it will lookup the device and verify its major number
against the registered zvol major number for the system.  If
they match we know the device is a zvol.

c409e4647f Add missing ZFS tunables
This commit adds module options for all existing zfs tunables.
Ideally the average user should never need to modify any of these
values.  However, in practice sometimes you do need to tweak these
values for one reason or another.  In those cases it's nice not to
have to resort to rebuilding from source.  All tunables are visable
to modinfo and the list is as follows:

6283f55ea1 Support custom build directories and move includes
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory.  The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.

For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently.  This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.

Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution.  When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.

wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z

------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu     mkdir fedora     mkdir debian     mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu        cd fedora        cd debian        cd rhel6
../configure     ../configure     ../configure     ../configure
make             make             make             make
make check       make check       make check       make check

This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory.  This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
