The vdev_file.c implementation in this patch diverges significantly
from the upstream version.  For consistenty with the vdev_disk.c
code the upstream version leverages the Illumos bio interfaces.
This makes sense for Illumos but not for ZoL for two reasons.

1) The vdev_disk.c code in ZoL has been rewritten to use the
   Linux block device interfaces which differ significantly
   from those in Illumos.  Therefore, updating the vdev_file.c
   to use the Illumos interfaces doesn't get you consistency
   with vdev_disk.c.

2) Using the upstream patch as is would requiring implementing
   compatibility code for those Solaris block device interfaces
   in user and kernel space.  That additional complexity could
   lead to confusion and doesn't buy us anything.

For these reasons I've opted to simply move the existing vn_rdwr()
as is in to the taskq function.  This has the advantage of being
low risk and easy to understand.  Moving the vn_rdwr() function
in to its own taskq thread also neatly avoids the possibility of
a stack overflow.

Finally, because of the additional work which is being handled by
the free taskq the number of threads has been increased.  The
thread count under Illumos defaults to 100 but was decreased to 2
in commit 08d08e due to contention.  We increase it to 8 until
the contention can be address by porting Illumos #3581.

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>'

5dc6af0eec Add zio_ddt_free()+ddt_phys_decref() error handling
The assumption in zio_ddt_free() is that ddt_phys_select() must
always find a match.  However, if that fails due to a damaged
DDT or some other reason the code will NULL dereference in
ddt_phys_decref().

While this should never happen it has been observed on various
platforms.  The result is that unless your willing to patch the
ZFS code the pool is inaccessible.  Therefore, we're choosing
to more gracefully handle this case rather than leave it fatal.

This patch has been slightly modified from the upstream Illumos
version to be compatible with Linux.  Due to the very limited
stack space in the kernel a lz4 workspace kmem cache is used.
Since we are using gcc we are also able to take advantage of the
gcc optimized __builtin_ctz functions.

Support for GRUB has been dropped from this patch.  That code
is available but those changes will need to made to the upstream
GRUB package.

Lastly, several hunks of dead code were dropped for clarity.  They
include the functions real_LZ4_uncompress(), LZ4_compressBound()
and the Visual Studio specific hunks wrapped in _MSC_VER.

72f53c5694 Revert part of "Log I/Os longer than zio_delay_max (30s default)"
This reverts commit 9dcb971983
which was originally introduced to debug occasional slow I/Os.
These I/Os would complete eventually but were observed to take
several 100 seconds.

The root cause of this issue was the CFQ scheduler which can,
under certain conditions, excessively delay an I/O from being
issued to the device.  This issue was mitigated somewhat by
commit 84daaddedb which ensures
the I/O elevator gets changed even for DM style devices.

This change isn't in any way harmful but it does conflict with
a required change to properly account from I/O wait time.
Because Linux does not export the io_schedule_timeout() function
we must instead rely  on io_schedule() via cv_wait_io().

The additional debugging information which was added to the
delay event has been intentionally left in place.

9dcb971983 Log I/Os longer than zio_delay_max (30s default)
There have been reports of ZFS deadlocking due to what appears to
be a lost IO.  This patch addes some debugging to determine the
exact state of the IO which neither 1) completed, 2) failed, or
3) timed out after zio_delay_max (30) seconds.

This information will be logged using the ZFS FMA infrastructure
as a 'delay' event and posted to the internal zevent log.  By
default the last 64 events will be kept in the log but the limit
is configurable via the zfs_zevent_len_max module option.

To dump the contents of the log use the 'zpool events -v' command
and look for the resource.fs.zfs.delay event.  It will include
various information about the pool, vdev, and zio which may shed
some light on the issue.

In the context of this change the 120 second kernel blocked thread
watchdog has been disabled for synchronous IOs.

920dd524fb Add FASTWRITE algorithm for synchronous writes.
Currently, ZIL blocks are spread over vdevs using hint block pointers
managed by the ZIL commit code and passed to metaslab_alloc(). Spreading
log blocks accross vdevs is important for performance: indeed, using
mutliple disks in parallel decreases the ZIL commit latency, which is
the main performance metric for synchronous writes. However, the current
implementation suffers from the following issues:

1) It would be best if the ZIL module was not aware of such low-level
details. They should be handled by the ZIO and metaslab modules;

2) Because the hint block pointer is managed per log, simultaneous
commits from multiple logs might use the same vdevs at the same time,
which is inefficient;

3) Because dmu_write() does not honor the block pointer hint, indirect
writes are not spread.

The naive solution of rotating the metaslab rotor each time a block is
allocated for the ZIL or dmu_sync() doesn't work in practice because the
first ZIL block to be written is actually allocated during the previous
commit. Consequently, when metaslab_alloc() decides the vdev for this
block, it will do so while a bunch of other allocations are happening at
the same time (from dmu_sync() and other ZILs). This means the vdev for
this block is chosen more or less at random. When the next commit
happens, there is a high chance (especially when the number of blocks
per commit is slightly less than the number of the disks) that one disk
will have to write two blocks (with a potential seek) while other disks
are sitting idle, which defeats spreading and increases the commit
latency.

This commit introduces a new concept in the metaslab allocator:
fastwrites. Basically, each top-level vdev maintains a counter
indicating the number of synchronous writes (from dmu_sync() and the
ZIL) which have been allocated but not yet completed. When the metaslab
is called with the FASTWRITE flag, it will choose the vdev with the
least amount of pending synchronous writes. If there are multiple vdevs
with the same value, the first matching vdev (starting from the rotor)
is used. Once metaslab_alloc() has decided which vdev the block is
allocated to, it updates the fastwrite counter for this vdev.

The rationale goes like this: when an allocation is done with
FASTWRITE, it "reserves" the vdev until the data is written. Until then,
all future allocations will naturally avoid this vdev, even after a full
rotation of the rotor. As a result, pending synchronous writes at a
given point in time will be nicely spread over all vdevs. This contrasts
with the previous algorithm, which is based on the implicit assumption
that blocks are written instantaneously after they're allocated.

metaslab_fastwrite_mark() and metaslab_fastwrite_unmark() are used to
manually increase or decrease fastwrite counters, respectively. They
should be used with caution, as there is no per-BP tracking of fastwrite
information, so leaks and "double-unmarks" are possible. There is,
however, an assert in the vdev teardown code which will fire if the
fastwrite counters are not zero when the pool is exported or the vdev
removed. Note that as stated above, marking is also done implictly by
metaslab_alloc().

ZIO also got a new FASTWRITE flag; when it is used, ZIO will pass it to
the metaslab when allocating (assuming ZIO does the allocation, which is
only true in the case of dmu_sync). This flag will also trigger an
unmark when zio_done() fires.

A side-effect of the new algorithm is that when a ZIL stops being used,
its last block can stay in the pending state (allocated but not yet
written) for a long time, polluting the fastwrite counters. To avoid
that, I've implemented a somewhat crude but working solution which
unmarks these pending blocks in zil_sync(), thus guaranteeing that
linguering fastwrites will get pruned at each sync event.

The best performance improvements are observed with pools using a large
number of top-level vdevs and heavy synchronous write workflows
(especially indirect writes and concurrent writes from multiple ZILs).
Real-life testing shows a 200% to 300% performance increase with
indirect writes and various commit sizes.

a5c20e2a0a Don't ashift-align vdev read requests.
Currently, the size of read and write requests on vdevs is aligned
according to the vdev's ashift, allocating a new ZIO buffer and padding
if need be.

This makes sense for write requests to prevent read/modify/write if the
write happens to be smaller than the device's internal block size.

For reads however, the rationale is less clear. It seems that the
original code aligns reads because, on Solaris, device drivers will
outright refuse unaligned requests.

We don't have that issue on Linux. Indeed, Linux block devices are able
to accept requests of any size, and take care of alignment issues
themselves.

As a result, there's no point in enforcing alignment for read requests
on Linux. This is a nice optimization opportunity for two reasons:
- We remove a memory allocation in a heavily-used code path;
- The request gets aligned in the lowest layer possible, which shrinks
  the path that the additional, useless padding data has to travel.
  For example, when using 4k-sector drives that lie about their sector
  size, using 512b read requests instead of 4k means that there will
  be less data traveling down the ATA/SCSI interface, even though the
  drive actually reads 4k from the platter.

The only exception is raidz, because raidz needs to read the whole
allocated block for parity.

This patch removes alignment enforcement for read requests, except on
raidz. Note that we also remove an assertion that checks that we're
aligning a top-level vdev I/O, because that's not the case anymore for
repair writes that results from failed reads.

ebcfc8a534 Disable page allocation warnings for ARC buffers
Buffers for the ARC are normally backed by the SPL virtual slab.
However, if memory is low, AND no slab objects are available,
AND a new slab cannot be quickly constructed a new emergency
object will be directly allocated.

These objects can be as large as order 5 on a system with 4k
pages.  And because they are allocated with KM_PUSHPAGE, to
avoid a potential deadlock, they are not allowed to initiate I/O
to satisfy the allocation.  This can result in the occasional
allocation failure.

However, since these allocations are allowed to block and
perform operations such as memory compaction they will eventually
succeed.  Since this is not unexpected (just unlikely) behavior
this patch disables the warning for the allocation failure.

86dd0fd922 Pre-allocate vdev I/O buffers
The vdev queue layer may require a small number of buffers
when attempting to create aggregate I/O requests.  Rather than
attempting to allocate them from the global zio buffers, which
is slow under memory pressure, it makes sense to pre-allocate
them because...

1) These buffers are short lived.  They are only required for
the life of a single I/O at which point they can be used by
the next I/O.

2) The maximum number of concurrent buffers needed by a vdev is
small.  It's roughly limited by the zfs_vdev_max_pending tunable
which defaults to 10.

By keeping a small list of these buffer per-vdev we can ensure
one is always available when we need it.  This significantly
reduces contention on the vq->vq_lock, because we no longer
need to perform a slow allocation under this lock.  This is
particularly important when memory is already low on the system.

It would probably be wise to extend the use of these buffers beyond
aggregate I/O and in to the raidz implementation.  The inability
to quickly allocate buffer for the parity stripes could result in
similiar problems.

a38718a63d Illumos #734: Use taskq_dispatch_ent() interface
It has been observed that some of the hottest locks are those
of the zio taskqs.  Contention on these locks can limit the
rate at which zios are dispatched which limits performance.

This upstream change from Illumos uses new interface to the
taskqs which allow them to utilize a prealloc'ed taskq_ent_t.
This removes the need to perform an allocation at dispatch
time while holding the contended lock.  This has the effect
of improving system performance.

ae6ba3dbe6 Improve meta data performance
Profiling the system during meta data intensive workloads such
as creating/removing millions of files, revealed that the system
was cpu bound.  A large fraction of that cpu time was being spent
waiting on the virtual address space spin lock.

It turns out this was caused by certain heavily used kmem_caches
being backed by virtual memory.  By default a kmem_cache will
dynamically determine the type of memory used based on the object
size.  For large objects virtual memory is usually preferable
and for small object physical memory is a better choice.  See
the spl_slab_alloc() function for a longer discussion on this.

However, there is a certain amount of gray area when defining a
'large' object.  For the following caches it turns out they were
just over the line:

  * dnode_cache
  * zio_cache
  * zio_link_cache
  * zio_buf_512_cache
  * zfs_data_buf_512_cache

Now because we know there will be a lot of churn in these caches,
and because we know the slabs will still be reasonably sized.
We can safely request with the KMC_KMEM flag that the caches be
backed with physical memory addresses.  This entirely avoids the
need to serialize on the virtual address space lock.

As a bonus this also reduces our vmalloc usage which will be good
for 32-bit kernels which have a very small virtual address space.
It will also probably be good for interactive performance since
unrelated processes could also block of this same global lock.
Finally, we may see less cpu time being burned in the arc_reclaim
and txg_sync_threads.

2fac4c2a74 Make tgx_sync_thread zio's async
The majority of the recursive operations performed by the dsl
are done either in the context of the tgx_sync_thread or during
pool import.  It is these recursive operations which contribute
greatly to the stack depth.  When this recursion is coupled with
a synchronous I/O in the same context overflow becomes possible.

Previously to handle this case I have focused on keeping the
individual stack frames as light as possible.  This is a good
idea as long as it can be done in a way which doesn't overly
complicate the code.  However, there is a better solution.

If we treat all zio's issued by the tgx_sync_thread as async then
we can use the tgx_sync_thread stack for the recursive parts, and
the zio_* threads for the I/O parts.  This effectively doubles our
available stack space with the only drawback being a small delay
to schedule the I/O.  However, in practice the scheduling time
is so much smaller than the actual I/O time this isn't an issue.
Another benefit of making the zio async is that the zio pipeline
is now parallel.  That should mean for CPU intensive pipelines
such as compression or dedup performance may be improved.

With this change in place the worst case stack usage observed so
far is 6902 bytes.  This is still higher than I'd like but
significantly improved.  Additional changes to specific functions
should improve this further.  This change allows us to revent
commit 6656bf5 which did some horrible things to the recursive
traverse_visitbp() callpath in the name of saving stack.

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:

691f6ac4c2 Use KM_PUSHPAGE instead of KM_SLEEP
It used to be the case that all KM_SLEEP allocations were GFS_NOFS.
Unfortunately this often resulted in the kernel being unable to
reclaim the ARC, inode, and dentry caches in a timely manor.
The fix was to make KM_SLEEP a GFP_KERNEL allocation in the SPL.

However, this increases the posibility of deadlocking the system
on a zfs write thread.  If a zfs write thread attempts to perform
an allocation it may trigger synchronous reclaim.  This reclaim
may attempt to flush dirty data/inode to disk to free memory.
Unforunately, this write cannot finish because the write thread
which would handle it is holding the previous transaction open.
Deadlock.

To avoid this all allocations in the zfs write thread path must
use KM_PUSHPAGE which prohibits synchronous reclaim for that
thread.  In this way forward progress in ensured.  The risk
with this change is I missed updating an allocation for the
write threads leaving an increased posibility of deadlock.  If
any deadlocks remain they will be unlikely but we'll have to
make sure they all get fixed.

451041db53 Shorten zio_* thread names
Linux kernel thread names are expected to be short.  This change shortens
the zio thread names to 10 characters leaving a few chracters to append
the /<cpuid> to which the thread is bound.  For example: z_wr_iss/0.

a69052be7f Initial zio delay timing
While there is no right maximum timeout for a disk IO we can start
laying the ground work to measure how long they do take in practice.
This change simply measures the IO time and if it exceeds 30s an
event is posted for 'zpool events'.

This value was carefully selected because for sd devices it implies
that at least one timeout (SD_TIMEOUT) has occured.  Unfortunately,
even with FAILFAST set we may retry and request and not get an
error.  This behavior is strongly dependant on the device driver
and how it is hooked in to the scsi error handling stack.  However
by setting the limit at 30s we can log the event even if no error
was returned.

Slightly longer term we can start recording these delays perhaps
as a simple power-of-two histrogram.  This histogram can then be
reported as part of the 'zpool status' command when given an command
line option.

None of this code changes the internal behavior of ZFS.  Currently
it is simply for reporting excessively long delays.

da6b4005c9 Fix stack zio_execute()
Implement zio_execute() as a wrapper around the static function
__zio_execute() so that we can force  __zio_execute() to be inlined.
This reduces stack overhead which is important because __zio_execute()
is called recursively in several zio code paths.  zio_execute() itself
cannot be inlined because it is externally visible.

c776b317e4 Fix stack zio_done()
Eliminated local variables pointing to members of the zio struct.
Just refer to the struct members directly.  This saved about 32 bytes per
call, but this function can be called recurisvely up to 19 levels deep,
so we potentially save up to 608 bytes.

bf701a83c5 Fix stack inline
Decrease stack usage for various call paths by forcing certain
functions to be inlined.  By inlining the functions the overhead
of a new stack frame is removed at the cost of increased code size.

5cc556b447 Fix zio_taskq_dispatch to use TQ_NOSLEEP
The zio_taskq_dispatch() function may be called at interrupt time
and it is critical that we never sleep.

Additionally, wrap taskq_dispatch() in a while loop because it may
fail.  This is non optimal but is OK for now.
