ZIL: Make allocations more flexible
When ZIL allocates space for new LWBs without knowing how much it
will require, it can use new metaslab_alloc_range() function to
allocate slightly more or less than it predicted.  It allows to
improve space efficiency by allocating bigger LWBs on RAIDZ/dRAID
instead of padding and possibly packing more ZIL records there.
It may also allow to reduce ganging in some cases by allowing to
allocate smaller LWBs when we are not sure we'll need bigger.

On the opposite side, when we allocate space for already closed
LWBs, when we precisely know how much space we need, we may just
allocate what we need instead of relying on writing less than
allocated, that does not work for RAIDZ.

Space for LWBs in open state (still being filled) is allocated
same as before.

92da3e18c8 ZIL: flag crashed LWBs so we know not to process them
If the ZIL crashed, any outstanding LWBs are no longer interesting, so
if they return, we need to just clean them up and return, not try to do
any work on them. This is true even if they return success, as that may
be long after the pool suspended and resumed, depending on when/if the
kernel decides to return the IO to us. In particular, we must not try to
get the "next" LWB from zl_lwb_list, since they're no longer on that
list.

So, we put a flag on in-flight LWBs in zil_crash() when we move them
from zl_lwb_list to zl_lwb_crash_list, so we know what's going on when
they return.

391e85f519 ZIL: add zil_commit_flags() to make honouring failmode= optional
The vast majority of calls to zil_commit() follow VFS ops, and should
honour the failmode= setting - either wait for sync, or return error.
Some calls however are part of a larger syncing op, and shouldn't ever
block if something goes wrong.

To allow this, we introduce zil_commit_flags(), with a flag
ZIL_COMMIT_FAILMODE to indicate whether or not the pool failmode should
be honoured. zil_commit() is now a wrapper that always sets this flag,
but any caller wanting a different behaviour can request ZIL_COMMIT_NOW
instead to have the call return failure if the pool suspends, regardless
of the failmode= setting.

72602f6ad9 ZIL: "crash" the ZIL if the pool suspends during fallback
If the ZIL runs into trouble, it calls txg_wait_synced(), which blocks
on suspend. We want it to not block on suspend, instead returning an
error. On the surface, this is simple: change all calls to
txg_wait_synced_flags(TXG_WAIT_SUSPEND), and then thread the error
return back to the zil_commit() caller.

Handling suspension means returning an error to all commit waiters. This
is relatively straightforward, as zil_commit_waiter_t already has
zcw_zio_error to hold the write IO error, which signals a fallback to
txg_wait_synced_flags(TXG_WAIT_SUSPEND), which will fail, and so the
waiter can now return an error from zil_commit().

However, commit waiters are normally signalled when their associated
write (LWB) completes. If the pool has suspended, those IOs may not
return for some time, or maybe not at all. We still want to signal those
waiters so they can return from zil_commit(). We have a list of those
in-flight LWBs on zl_lwb_list, so we can run through those, detach them
and signal them. The LWB itself is still in-flight, but no longer has
attached waiters, so when it returns there will be nothing to do.

(As an aside, ITXs can also supply completion callbacks, which are
called when they are destroyed. These are directly connected to LWBs
though, so are passed the error code and destroyed there too).

At this point, all ZIL waiters have been ejected, so we only have to
consider the internal state. We potentially still have ITXs that have
not been committed, LWBs still open, and LWBs in-flight. The on-disk ZIL
is in an unknown state; some writes may have been written but not
returned to us. We really can't rely on any of it; the best thing to do
is abandon it entirely and start over when the pool returns to service.
But, since we may have IO out that won't return until the pool resumes,
we need something for it to return to.

The simplest solution I could find, implemented here, is to "crash" the
ZIL: accept no new ITXs, make no further updates, and let it empty out
on its normal schedule, that is, as txgs complete and zil_sync() and
zil_clean() are called. We set a "restart txg" to three txgs in the
future (syncing + TXG_CONCURRENT_STATES), at which point all the
internal state will have been cleared out, and the ZIL can resume
operation (handled at the top of zil_clean()).

This commit adds zil_crash(), which handles all of the above:
 - sets the restart txg
 - capture and signal all waiters
 - zero the header

zil_crash() is called when txg_wait_synced_flags(TXG_WAIT_SUSPEND)
returns because the pool suspended (ESHUTDOWN).

The rest of the commit is just threading the errors through, and related
housekeeping.

99a5f5d1ba ZIL: pass commit errors back to ITX callbacks
ITX callbacks are used to signal that something can be cleaned up after
a itx is committed. Presently that's only used when syncing out mapped
pages (msync()) to mark dirty pages clean.

This extends the callback interface so it can be passed an error, and
take a different cleanup action if necessary.

967b15b888 ZIL: allow zil_commit() to fail with error
This changes zil_commit() to have an int return, and updates all callers
to check it. There are no corresponding internal changes yet; it will
always return 0.

Since zil_commit() is an indication that the caller _really_ wants the
associated data to be durability stored, I've annotated it with the
__warn_unused_result__ compiler attribute (via __must_check), to emit a
warning if it's ever ussd without doing something with the return code.
I hope this will mean we never misuse it in the future.

4ae8bf406b Allow physical rewrite without logical
During regular block writes ZFS sets both logical and physical
birth times equal to the current TXG.  During dedup and block
cloning logical birth time is still set to the current TXG, but
physical may be copied from the original block that was used.
This represents the fact that logically user data has changed,
but the physically it is the same old block.

But block rewrite introduces a new situation, when block is not
changed logically, but stored in a different place of the pool.
From ARC, scrub and some other perspectives this is a new block,
but for example for user applications or incremental replication
it is not.  Somewhat similar thing happen during remap phase of
device removal, but in that case space blocks are still acounted
as allocated at their logical birth times.

This patch introduces a new "rewrite" flag in the block pointer
structure, allowing to differentiate physical rewrite (when the
block is actually reallocated at the physical birth time) from
the device reval case (when the logical birth time is used).

The new functionality is not used at this point, and the only
expected change is that error log is now kept in terms of physical
physical birth times, rather than logical, since if a block with
logged error was somehow rewritten, then the previous error does
not matter any more.

This change also introduces a new TRAVERSE_LOGICAL flag to the
traverse code, allowing zfs send, redact and diff to work in
context of logical birth times, ignoring physical-only rewrites.
It also changes nothing at this point due to lack of those writes,
but they will come in a following patch.

Allow and prefer special vdevs as ZIL
Before this change ZIL blocks were allocated only from normal or
SLOG vdevs.  In typical situation when special vdevs are SSDs and
normal are HDDs it could cause weird inversions when data blocks
are written to SSDs, but ZIL referencing them to HDDs.

This change assumes that special vdevs typically have much better
(or at least not worse) latency than normal, and so in absence of
SLOGs should store ZIL blocks.  It means similar to normal vdevs
introduction of special embedded log allocation class and updating
the allocation fallback order to: SLOG -> special embedded log ->
special -> normal embedded log -> normal.

The code tries to guess whether data block is going to be written
to normal or special vdev (it can not be done precisely before
compression) and prefer indirect writes for blocks written to a
special vdev to avoid double-write.  For blocks that are going to
be written to normal vdev, special vdev by default plays as SLOG,
reducing write latency by the cost of higher special vdev wear,
but it is tunable via module parameter.

This should allow HDD pools with decent SSD as special vdev to
work under synchronous workloads without requiring additional
SLOG SSD, impractical in many scenarios.

ZIL: Force writing of open LWB on suspend
Under parallel workloads ZIL may delay writes of open LWBs that
are not full enough.  On suspend we do not expect anything new to
appear since zil_get_commit_list() will not let it pass, only
returning TXG number to wait for.  But I suspect that waiting for
the TXG commit without having the last LWB issued may not wait for
its completion, resulting in panic described in #17509.

ZIL: Relax parallel write ZIOs processing
ZIL introduced dependencies between its write ZIOs to permit flush
defer, when we flush vdev caches only once all the write ZIOs has
completed.  But it was recently spotted that it serializes not only
ZIO completions handling, but also their ready stage.  It means ZIO
pipeline can't calculate checksums for the following ZIOs until all
the previous are checksumed, even though it is not required.  On a
systems where memory throughput of a single CPU core is limited,
it creates single-core CPU bottleneck, which is difficult to see
due to ZIO pipeline design with many taskqueue threads.

While it would be great to bypass the ready stage waits, it would
require changes to ZIO code, and I haven't found a clean way to do
it.  But I've noticed that we don't need any dependency between
the write ZIOs if the previous one has some waiters, which means
it won't defer any flushes and work as a barrier for the earlier
ones.

Bypassing it won't help large single-thread writes, since all the
write ZIOs except the last in that case won't have waiters, and
so will be dependent.  But in that case the ZIO processing might
not be a bottleneck, since there will be only one thread populating
the write buffers, that will likely be the bottleneck.

But bypassing the ZIO dependency on multi-threaded write workloads
really allows them to scale beyond the checksuming throughput of
one CPU core.

My tests with writing 12 files on a same dataset on a pool with
4 striped NVMes as SLOGs from 12 threads with 1MB blocks on a
system with Xeon Silver 4114 CPU show total throughput increase
from 4.3GB/s to 8.5GB/s, increasing the SLOGs busy from ~30% to
~70%.

zfs: add bounds checking to zil_parse (#16308)
Make sure log record don't stray beyond valid memory region.

There is a lack of verification of the space occupied by fixed members
of lr_t in the zil_parse.

We can create a crafted image to trigger an out of bounds read by
following these steps:
    1) Do some file operations and reboot to simulate abnormal exit
       without umount
    2) zil_chain.zc_nused: 0x1000
    3) First lr_t

       lr_t.lrc_reclen: 0x1000-0xb8-0x1
       lr_t.lrc_txg: 0x0
       lr_t.lrc_seq: 0x1
    4) Update checksum in zil_chain.zc_eck

Add some checks to make sure the remaining bytes are large enough to
hold an log record.

Provide macros for setting and getting blkptr birth times
There exist a couple of macros that are used to update the blkptr birth
times but they can often be confusing. For example, the
BP_PHYSICAL_BIRTH() macro will provide either the physical birth time
if it is set or else return back the logical birth time. The
complement to this macro is BP_SET_BIRTH() which will set the logical
birth time and set the physical birth time if they are not the same.
Consumers may get confused when they are trying to get the physical
birth time and use the BP_PHYSICAL_BIRTH() macro only to find out that
the logical birth time is what is actually returned.

This change cleans up these macros and makes them symmetrical. The same
functionally is preserved but the name is changed. Instead of calling
BP_PHYSICAL_BIRTH(), consumer can now call BP_GET_BIRTH(). In
additional to cleaning up this naming conventions, two new sets of
macros are introduced -- BP_[SET|GET]_LOGICAL_BIRTH() and
BP_[SET|GET]_PHYSICAL_BIRTH.  These new macros allow the consumer to
get and set the specific birth time.

As part of the cleanup, the unused GRID macros have been removed and
that portion of the blkptr are currently unused.

ZIL: Improve next log block size prediction

allows to not blow away all the history by single large burst of
many block, and same time allows optimizations covering multiple
blocks in a burst and even predicted following burst.  For each
burst account its optimal block size and minimal first block size.
Use that statistics from the last 8 bursts to predict first block
size of the next burst.

Remove predefined set of block sizes. Allocate any size we see fit,
multiple of 4KB, as required by ZIL now.  With compression enabled
by default, ZFS already writes pretty random block sizes, so this
should not surprise space allocator any more.

ZIO: Remove READY pipeline stage from root ZIOs
zio_root() has no arguments for ready callback or parent ZIO. Except
one recent case in ZIL code if root ZIOs ever have a parent it is
also a root ZIO.  It means we do not need READY pipeline stage for
them, which takes some time to process, but even more time to wait
for the children and be woken by them, and both for no good reason.

The most visible effect of this change is that it avoids one taskq
wakeup per ZIL block written, previously used to run zio_ready()
for lwb_root_zio and skipped now.

ZIL: Detect single-threaded workloads
... by checking that previous block is fully written and flushed.
It allows to skip commit delays since we can give up on aggregation
in that case.  This removes zil_min_commit_timeout parameter, since
for single-threaded workloads it is not needed at all, while on very
fast devices even some multi-threaded workloads may get detected as
single-threaded and still bypass the wait.  To give multi-threaded
workloads more aggregation chances increase zfs_commit_timeout_pct
from 5 to 10%, as they should suffer less from additional latency.

Also single-threaded workloads detection allows in perspective better
prediction of the next block size.

Large sync writes perform worse with slog
For synchronous write workloads with large IO sizes, a pool configured
with a slog performs worse than one with an embedded zil:

sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 16 threads
  Write IOPS:              1292          438   -66.10%
  Write Bandwidth:      1323570       448910   -66.08%
  Write Latency:       12128400     36330970      3.0x

sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 32 threads
  Write IOPS:              1293          430   -66.74%
  Write Bandwidth:      1324184       441188   -66.68%
  Write Latency:       24486278     74028536      3.0x

The reason is the `zil_slog_bulk` variable. In `zil_lwb_write_open`,
if a zil block is greater than 768K, the priority of the write is
downgraded from sync to async. Increasing the value allows greater
throughput. To select a value for this PR, I ran an fio workload with
the following values for `zil_slog_bulk`:

    zil_slog_bulk    KiB/s
    1048576         422132
    2097152         478935
    4194304         533645
    8388608         623031
    12582912        827158
    16777216       1038359
    25165824       1142210
    33554432       1211472
    50331648       1292847
    67108864       1308506
    100663296      1306821
    134217728      1304998

At 64M, the results with a slog are now improved to parity with an
embedded zil:

sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 16 threads
  Write IOPS:               438         1288      2.9x
  Write Bandwidth:       448910      1319062      2.9x
  Write Latency:       36330970     12163408   -66.52%

sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 32 threads
  Write IOPS:               430         1290      3.0x
  Write Bandwidth:       441188      1321693      3.0x
  Write Latency:       74028536     24519698   -66.88%

None of the other tests in the performance suite (run with a zil or
slog) had a significant change, including the random_write_zil tests,
which use multiple datasets.

ZIL: Reduce maximum size of WR_COPIED to 7.5K
Benchmarks show that at certain write sizes range lock/unlock take
not so much time as extra memory copy.  The exact threshold is not
obvious due to other overheads, but it is definitely lower than
~63KB used before.  Make it configurable, defaulting at 7.5KB,
that is 8KB of nearest malloc() size minus itx and lr structs.

ZIL: Fix potential race on flush deferring.
zil_lwb_set_zio_dependency() can not set write ZIO dependency on
previous LWB's write ZIO if one is already in done handler and set
state to LWB_STATE_WRITE_DONE.  So theoretically done handler of
next LWB's write ZIO may run before done handler of previous LWB
write ZIO completes.  In such case we can not defer flushes, since
the flush issue process is not locked.

This may fix some reported assertions of lwb_vdev_tree not being
empty inside zil_free_lwb().

While I have no reports of it, I suspect possible use-after-free
scenario when zil_commit_waiter() tries to dereference zcw_lwb

Extension of zl_lock scope as it was originally should block
zil_sync() from freeing the lwb, closing this race.

ZIL: Second attempt to reduce scope of zl_issuer_lock.
The previous patch #14841 appeared to have significant flaw, causing
deadlocks if zl_get_data callback got blocked waiting for TXG sync.  I
already handled some of such cases in the original patch, but issue
 #14982 shown cases that were impossible to solve in that design.

This patch fixes the problem by postponing log blocks allocation till
the very end, just before the zios issue, leaving nothing blocking after
that point to cause deadlocks.  Before that point though any sleeps are
now allowed, not causing sync thread blockage.  This require slightly
more complicated lwb state machine to allocate blocks and issue zios
in proper order.  But with removal of special early issue workarounds
the new code is much cleaner now, and should even be more efficient.

Since this patch uses null zios between write, I've found that null
zios do not wait for logical children ready status in zio_ready(),
that makes parent write to proceed prematurely, producing incorrect
log blocks.  Added ZIO_CHILD_LOGICAL_BIT to zio_wait_for_children()
fixes it.

ZIL: Replay blocks without next block pointer.
If we get next block allocation error during log write, we trigger
transaction commit.  But the block we have just completed is still
written and transactions it covers will be acknowledged normally.
If after that we ignore the block during replay just because it is
the last in the chain, we may not replay some transactions that we
have acknowledged as synced, that is not right.

Remove fastwrite mechanism.
Fastwrite was introduced many years ago to improve ZIL writes spread
between multiple top-level vdevs by tracking number of allocated but
not written blocks and choosing vdev with smaller count.  It suposed
to reduce ZIL knowledge about allocation, but actually made ZIL to
even more actively report allocation code about the allocations,
complicating both ZIL and metaslabs code.

On top of that, it seems ZIO_FLAG_FASTWRITE setting in dmu_sync()
was lost many years ago, that was one of the declared benefits. Plus
introduction of embedded log metaslab class solved another problem
with allocation rotor accounting both normal and log allocations,
since in most cases those are now in different metaslab classes.

After all that, I'd prefer to simplify already too complicated ZIL,
ZIO and metaslab code if the benefit of complexity is not obvious.

Remove zl_issuer_lock from zil_suspend().
This locking was recently added as part of #14979. But appears it
is illegal to take zl_issuer_lock while holding dp_config_rwlock,
taken by dsl_pool_hold().  It causes deadlock with sync thread in
spa_sync_upgrades().  On a second thought, we should not
need this locking, since zil_commit_impl() we call below takes
zl_issuer_lock, that should sufficiently protect zl_suspend reads,
combined with other logic from #14979.

ZIL: Fix config lock deadlock.
When we have some LWBs closed and their ZIOs ready to be issued, we
can not afford sleeping on config lock if somebody else try to lock
it as writer, or it will cause a deadlock.

To solve it, move spa_config_enter() from zil_lwb_write_issue() to
zil_lwb_write_close() under zl_issuer_lock to enforce lock ordering
with other threads.  Now if we can't immediately lock config, issue
all previously closed LWBs so that they could drop their config
locks after completion, and only then allow sleeping on our lock.

Again fix race between zil_commit() and zil_suspend().
With zl_suspend read in zil_commit() not protected by any locks it
is possible for new ZIL writes to be in progress while zil_destroy()
called by zil_suspend() freeing them.  This patch closes the race
by taking zl_issuer_lock in zil_suspend() and adding the second
zl_suspend check to zil_get_commit_list(), protected by the lock.
It allows all already queued transactions to be logged normally,
while blocks any new ones, calling txg_wait_synced() for the TXGs.
