Cleanup: Specify unsignedness on things that should not be signed
In #13871, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit_non_rotating and
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit being signed was pointed out as a possible
reason not to eliminate an unnecessary MAX(unsigned, 0) since the
unsigned value was assigned from them.

There is no reason for these module parameters to be signed and upon
inspection, it was found that there are a number of other module
parameters that are signed, but should not be, so we make them unsigned.
Making them unsigned made it clear that some other variables in the code
should also be unsigned, so we also make those unsigned. This prevents
users from setting negative values that could potentially cause bad
behaviors. It also makes the code slightly easier to understand.

Mostly module parameters that deal with timeouts, limits, bitshifts and
percentages are made unsigned by this. Any that are boolean are left
signed, since whether booleans should be considered signed or unsigned
does not matter.

Making zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent unsigned caused a
`zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent >= 0` check to become redundant, so it was
removed. Removing the check was also necessary to prevent a compiler
error from -Werror=type-limits.

Several end of line comments had to be moved to their own lines because
replacing int with uint_t caused us to exceed the 80 character limit
enforced by cstyle.pl.

The following were kept signed because they are passed to
taskq_create(), which expects signed values and modifying the
OpenSolaris/Illumos DDI is out of scope of this patch:

	* metaslab_load_pct
	* zfs_sync_taskq_batch_pct
	* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_nthr_pct
	* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_minalloc
	* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_maxalloc
	* zfs_arc_prune_task_threads

Also, negative values in those parameters was found to be harmless.

The following were left signed because either negative values make
sense, or more analysis was needed to determine whether negative values
should be disallowed:

	* zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold
	* zfs_pd_bytes_max
	* zfs_livelist_min_percent_shared

zfs_multihost_history was made static to be consistent with other
parameters.

A number of module parameters were marked as signed, but in reality
referenced unsigned variables. upgrade_errlog_limit is one of the
numerous examples. In the case of zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active, it was
already uint32_t, but zdb had an extern int declaration for it.

Interestingly, the documentation in zfs.4 was right for
upgrade_errlog_limit despite the module parameter being wrongly marked,
while the documentation for zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active (and friends)
was wrong. It was also wrong for zstd_abort_size, which was unsigned,
but was documented as signed.

Also, the documentation in zfs.4 incorrectly described the following
parameters as ulong when they were int:

	* zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts
	* zfs_override_estimate_recordsize

They are now uint_t as of this patch and thus the man page has been
updated to describe them as uint.

dbuf_state_index was left alone since it does nothing and perhaps should
be removed in another patch.

If any module parameters were missed, they were not found by `grep -r
'ZFS_MODULE_PARAM' | grep ', INT'`. I did find a few that grep missed,
but only because they were in files that had hits.

This patch intentionally did not attempt to address whether some of
these module parameters should be elevated to 64-bit parameters, because
the length of a long on 32-bit is 32-bit.

Lastly, it was pointed out during review that uint_t is a better match
for these variables than uint32_t because FreeBSD kernel parameter
definitions are designed for uint_t, whose bit width can change in
future memory models.  As a result, we change the existing parameters
that are uint32_t to use uint_t.

ca5777793e Reduce loaded range tree memory usage
This patch implements a new tree structure for ZFS, and uses it to 
store range trees more efficiently.

The new structure is approximately a B-tree, though there are some 
small differences from the usual characterizations. The tree has core 
nodes and leaf nodes; each contain data elements, which the elements 
in the core nodes acting as separators between its children. The 
difference between core and leaf nodes is that the core nodes have an 
array of children, while leaf nodes don't. Every node in the tree may 
be only partially full; in most cases, they are all at least 50% full 
(in terms of element count) except for the root node, which can be 
less full. Underfull nodes will steal from their neighbors or merge to 
remain full enough, while overfull nodes will split in two. The data 
elements are contained in tree-controlled buffers; they are copied 
into these on insertion, and overwritten on deletion. This means that 
the elements are not independently allocated, which reduces overhead, 
but also means they can't be shared between trees (and also that 
pointers to them are only valid until a side-effectful tree operation 
occurs). The overhead varies based on how dense the tree is, but is 
usually on the order of about 50% of the element size; the per-node 
overheads are very small, and so don't make a significant difference. 
The trees can accept arbitrary records; they accept a size and a 
comparator to allow them to be used for a variety of purposes.

The new trees replace the AVL trees used in the range trees today. 
Currently, the range_seg_t structure contains three 8 byte integers 
of payload and two 24 byte avl_tree_node_ts to handle its storage in 
both an offset-sorted tree and a size-sorted tree (total size: 64 
bytes). In the new model, the range seg structures are usually two 4 
byte integers, but a separate one needs to exist for the size-sorted 
and offset-sorted tree. Between the raw size, the 50% overhead, and 
the double storage, the new btrees are expected to use 8*1.5*2 = 24 
bytes per record, or 33.3% as much memory as the AVL trees (this is 
for the purposes of storing metaslab range trees; for other purposes, 
like scrubs, they use ~50% as much memory).

We reduced the size of the payload in the range segments by teaching 
range trees about starting offsets and shifts; since metaslabs have a 
fixed starting offset, and they all operate in terms of disk sectors, 
we can store the ranges using 4-byte integers as long as the size of 
the metaslab divided by the sector size is less than 2^32. For 512-byte
sectors, this is a 2^41 (or 2TB) metaslab, which with the default
settings corresponds to a 256PB disk. 4k sector disks can handle 
metaslabs up to 2^46 bytes, or 2^63 byte disks. Since we do not 
anticipate disks of this size in the near future, there should be 
almost no cases where metaslabs need 64-byte integers to store their 
ranges. We do still have the capability to store 64-byte integer ranges 
to account for cases where we are storing per-vdev (or per-dnode) trees, 
which could reasonably go above the limits discussed. We also do not 
store fill information in the compact version of the node, since it 
is only used for sorted scrub.

We also optimized the metaslab loading process in various other ways
to offset some inefficiencies in the btree model. While individual
operations (find, insert, remove_from) are faster for the btree than 
they are for the avl tree, remove usually requires a find operation, 
while in the AVL tree model the element itself suffices. Some clever 
changes actually caused an overall speedup in metaslab loading; we use 
approximately 40% less cpu to load metaslabs in our tests on Illumos.

Another memory and performance optimization was achieved by changing 
what is stored in the size-sorted trees. When a disk is heavily 
fragmented, the df algorithm used by default in ZFS will almost always 
find a number of small regions in its initial cursor-based search; it 
will usually only fall back to the size-sorted tree to find larger 
regions. If we increase the size of the cursor-based search slightly, 
and don't store segments that are smaller than a tunable size floor 
in the size-sorted tree, we can further cut memory usage down to 
below 20% of what the AVL trees store. This also results in further 
reductions in CPU time spent loading metaslabs.

The 16KiB size floor was chosen because it results in substantial memory 
usage reduction while not usually resulting in situations where we can't 
find an appropriate chunk with the cursor and are forced to use an 
oversized chunk from the size-sorted tree. In addition, even if we do 
have to use an oversized chunk from the size-sorted tree, the chunk 
would be too small to use for ZIL allocations, so it isn't as big of a 
loss as it might otherwise be. And often, more small allocations will 
follow the initial one, and the cursor search will now find the 
remainder of the chunk we didn't use all of and use it for subsequent 
allocations. Practical testing has shown little or no change in 
fragmentation as a result of this change.

If the size-sorted tree becomes empty while the offset sorted one still 
has entries, it will load all the entries from the offset sorted tree 
and disregard the size floor until it is unloaded again. This operation 
occurs rarely with the default setting, only on incredibly thoroughly 
fragmented pools.

There are some other small changes to zdb to teach it to handle btrees, 
but nothing major.

When write I/Os are issued, they are issued in block order but the ZIO
pipeline will drive them asynchronously through the allocation stage
which can result in blocks being allocated out-of-order. It would be
nice to preserve as much of the logical order as possible.

In addition, the allocations are equally scattered across all top-level
VDEVs but not all top-level VDEVs are created equally. The pipeline
should be able to detect devices that are more capable of handling
allocations and should allocate more blocks to those devices. This
allows for dynamic allocation distribution when devices are imbalanced
as fuller devices will tend to be slower than empty devices.

The change includes a new pool-wide allocation queue which would
throttle and order allocations in the ZIO pipeline. The queue would be
ordered by issued time and offset and would provide an initial amount of
allocation of work to each top-level vdev. The allocation logic utilizes
a reservation system to reserve allocations that will be performed by
the allocator. Once an allocation is successfully completed it's
scheduled on a given top-level vdev. Each top-level vdev maintains a
maximum number of allocations that it can handle (mg_alloc_queue_depth).
The pool-wide reserved allocations (top-levels * mg_alloc_queue_depth)
are distributed across the top-level vdevs metaslab groups and round
robin across all eligible metaslab groups to distribute the work. As
top-levels complete their work, they receive additional work from the
pool-wide allocation queue until the allocation queue is emptied.

e8b96c6007 Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work
4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work

1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync
read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver.  The scheduler
issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device.  Once a class
has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator
algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes).  The number of
concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve
good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write
throughput when there is.  See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced
below) for more details.

2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and
txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays
when under constant load.  The new write throttle is based on the amount of
dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system.  When
there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be
delayed by the same small amount.  This eliminates the "brick wall of wait"
that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several
seconds until the next txg opens.  One of the keys to the new write throttle is
decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end
of spa_sync().  Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o
scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes.  See the
block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for
more details.

This diff has several other effects, including:

 * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed;
use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead.

 * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the
time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently.  There is no longer
an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data.
Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is
always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal.
Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this.

 * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression,
checksum, etc.  This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks
to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is
rounded up).

APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler

The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based.  The problem
with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of
i/os can see very long delays.

For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async
writes will be serviced until they become "past due".  One symptom of this
situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds
(typically 3 seconds).

If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must
service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os.  This happens when we
enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in
the future.  If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because
there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due.  Now we
must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes)
before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous
i/os (reads or ZIL writes).

Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:

- zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children.  Because
  object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at
  allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved
  from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two
  new fields.

- vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue
  (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from.
  This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used
  for the same purpose.

- vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine
  the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate.  That global no longer
  exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of
  the five I/O classes described above.

- The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by
  sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread
  (curthread->t_delay_cv).  We do not have an equivalent CV to use in
  Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called
  zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other
  downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic.

- These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added
  to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page.

  spa_asize_inflation
  zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
  zfs_vdev_max_active
  zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent
  zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent
  zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active
  zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active
  zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active
  zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active
  zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active
  zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active
  zfs_dirty_data_max_percent
  zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent
  zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent
  zfs_dirty_data_max
  zfs_dirty_data_max_max
  zfs_dirty_data_sync
  zfs_delay_scale

  The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in
  Illumos.  This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but
  means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures.

  The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most
  likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM
  sizes in bytes.  In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to
  2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes
  it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable
  zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage.  While this
  solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a
  reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected
  systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults.

- Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration.

- Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take
  effect.

- Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file
  with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max.  The first counts
  how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty
  data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent.  The latter counts how
  many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which
  we expect to never happen).

- The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in
  zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the
  zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
  A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate().

- In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the
  heap instead of the stack.  In Linux we can't afford such large
  structures on the stack.

Issue #1775

Porting notes:

1. include/sys/zfs_context.h has been modified to render some new
   macros inert until dtrace is available on Linux.

2. Linux-specific changes have been adapted to use SET_ERROR().

3. I'm NOT happy about this change.  It does nothing but ugly
   up the code under Linux.  Unfortunately we need to take it to
   avoid more merge conflicts in the future.  -Brian

b8d06fca08 Switch KM_SLEEP to KM_PUSHPAGE
Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.

  * The txg_sync thread
  * The zvol write/discard threads
  * The zpl_putpage() VFS callback

This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages.  If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system.  To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.

Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread.  However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA.  This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.

This is patch lays the ground work for being able to safely revert the
following commits which used PF_MEMALLOC:

  21ade34 Disable direct reclaim for z_wr_* threads
  cfc9a5c Fix zpl_writepage() deadlock
  eec8164 Fix ASSERTION(!dsl_pool_sync_context(tx->tx_pool))

2cc6c8db12 Illumos #175: zfs vdev cache consumes excessive memory
Note that with the current ZFS code, it turns out that the vdev
cache is not helpful, and in some cases actually harmful.  It
is better if we disable this.  Once some time has passed, we
should actually remove this to simplify the code.  For now we
just disable it by setting the zfs_vdev_cache_size to zero.
Note that Solaris 11 has made these same changes.
