The spl_rwsem_is_locked() compatibility function has been observed
to be a hot spot. The root cause of this is that we must check the
rwsem activity under the rwsem->wait_lock to avoid a race. When
the lock is busy significant contention can occur.
The upstream kernel fix for this race had the insight that by using
spin_trylock_irqsave() this contention could be avoided. When the
lock is contended it's reasonable to return that it is locked.
This change updates the SPLs implemention to be like the upstream
kernel. Since the kernel code has been in use for years now this
a low risk change.

Previously, the spl.release file was created at 'make install' time.
This is slightly problematic when the file is needed without running
'make install'. Because of this, the step creating the file was removed
from 'make install' and replaced with a more appropriate spl.release.in
file.
As a result, the spl.release file will now be created earlier as part
of the 'configure' step as opposed to the 'make install' step.

This test is designed to verify that direct reclaim is functioning as
expected. We allocate a large number of objects thus creating a large
number of slabs. We then apply memory pressure and expect that the
direct reclaim path can easily recover those slabs. The registered
reclaim function will free the objects and the slab shrinker will call
it repeatedly until at least a single slab can be freed.
Note it may not be possible to reclaim every last slab via direct reclaim
without a failure because the shrinker_rwsem may be contended. For this
reason, quickly reclaiming 3/4 of the slabs is considered a success.
This should all be possible within 10 seconds. For reference, on a
system with 2G of memory this test takes roughly 0.2 seconds to run.
It may take longer on larger memory systems but should still easily

avoid the case where objects are released but they are spread over

Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure

--enable-debug - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s.
--disable-debug ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and
are never required for correct operation.
They are disabled by default because they
may impact performance.
--enable-debug-log - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure.
--disable-debug-log This infrastructure allows the spl code and
its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel
log. The granularity of the logging can be
controlled by a debug mask. By default the
mask disables most debug messages resulting
in a negligible performance impact. Because
of this the debug log is enabled by default.

Testing has shown that tq->tq_lock can be highly contended when a
large number of small work items are dispatched. The lock hold time
is reduced by the following changes:
1) Use exclusive threads in the work_waitq
When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single
thread to service it. The current implementation uses non-exclusive
threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become
non-negligible.

A race condition was introduced by which a wake_up() call can be lost

leading to deadlock:
1. taksq thread enables interrupts
2. dispatcher thread runs, queues work item, call wake_up()
3. taskq thread runs, adds self to waitq, sleeps
This could easily happen if an interrupt for an IO completion was
outstanding at the point where the taskq thread reenables interrupts,
just before the call to add_wait_queue_exclusive(). The handler would
run immediately within the race window.

When a single work item is dispatched we only need to wake a single

threads so all threads are woken when the dispatcher calls wake_up().
If a large number of threads are in the queue this overhead can become

2) Conditionally add/remove threads from work waitq outside of tq_lock
Taskq threads need only add themselves to the work wait queue if there
are no pending work items. Furthermore, the add and remove function
calls can be made outside of the taskq lock since the wait queues are
protected from concurrent access by their own spinlocks.
3) Call wake_up() outside of tq->tq_lock
Again, the wait queues are protected by their own spinlock, so the
dispatcher functions can drop tq->tq_lock before calling wake_up().
A new splat test taskq:contention was added in a prior commit to measure
the impact of these changes. The following table summarizes the
results using data from the kernel lock profiler.
tq_lock time %diff Wall clock (s) %diff
original: 39117614.10 0 41.72 0
exclusive threads: 31871483.61 18.5 34.2 18.0
unlocked add/rm waitq: 13794303.90 64.7 16.17 61.2
unlocked wake_up(): 1589172.08 95.9 16.61 60.2
Each row reflects the average result over 5 test runs.
/proc/lock_stats was zeroed out before and collected after each run.
Column 1 is the cumulative hold time in microseconds for tq->tq_lock.
The tests are cumulative; each row reflects the code changes of the
previous rows. %diff is calculated with respect to "original" as
100*(orig-new)/orig.
Although calling wake_up() outside of the taskq lock dramatically
reduced the taskq lock hold time, the test actually took slightly more
wall clock time. This is because the point of contention shifts from
the taskq lock to the wait queue lock. But the change still seems
worthwhile since it removes our taskq implementation as a bottleneck,
assuming the small increase in wall clock time to be statistical
noise.

A preallocated taskq_ent_t's tqent_flags must be checked prior to
servicing the taskq_ent_t. Once a preallocated taskq entry is serviced,
the ownership of the entry is handed back to the caller of
taskq_dispatch, thus the entry's contents can potentially be mangled.
In particular, this is a problem in the case where a preallocated taskq
entry is serviced, and the caller clears it's tqent_flags field. Thus,
when the function returns and task_done is called, it looks as though
the entry is **not** a preallocated task (when in fact it **is** a
preallocated task).
In this situation, task_done will place the preallocated taskq_ent_t
structure onto the taskq_t's free list. This is a **huge** mistake. If
the taskq_ent_t is then freed by the caller of taskq_dispatch, the
taskq_t's free list will hold a pointer to garbage data. Even worse, if
nothing has over written the freed memory before the pointer is
dereferenced, it may still look as though it points to a valid list_head
belonging to a taskq_ent_t structure.
Thus, the task entry's flags are now copied prior to servicing the task.
This copy is then checked to see if it is a preallocated task, and
determine if the entry needs to be passed down to the task_done
function.

The taskq_t's active thread list is sorted based on its
tqt_ent->tqent_id field. The list is kept sorted solely by inserting
new taskq_thread_t's in their correct sorted location; no other
means is used. This means that once inserted, if a taskq_thread_t's
tqt_ent->tqent_id field changes, the list runs the risk of no
longer being sorted.
Prior to the introduction of the taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface,
this was not a problem as a taskq_ent_t actively being serviced under
the old interface should always have a static tqent_id field. Thus,
once the taskq_thread_t is added to the taskq_t's active thread list,
the taskq_thread_t's tqt_ent->tqent_id field would remain constant.
Now, this is no longer the case. Currently, if using the
taskq_dispatch_prealloc() interface, any given taskq_ent_t actively
being serviced _may_ have its tqent_id value incremented. This happens
when the preallocated taskq_ent_t structure is recursively dispatched.
Thus, a taskq_thread_t could potentially have its tqt_ent->tqent_id
field silently modified from under its feet. If this were to happen
to a taskq_thread_t on a taskq_t's active thread list, this would
compromise the integrity of the order of the list (as the list
_may_ no longer be sorted).
To get around this, the taskq_thread_t's taskq_ent_t pointer was
replaced with its own static copy of the tqent_id. So, as a taskq_ent_t
is pulled off of the taskq_t's pending list, a static copy of its
tqent_id is made and this copy is used to sort the active thread
list. Using a static copy is key in ensuring the integrity of the
order of the active thread list. Even if the underlying taskq_ent_t
is recursively dispatched (as has its tqent_id modified), this
static copy stored inside the taskq_thread_t will remain constant.
