Shift the asynchronous allocations over to use the taskq interfaces.
This allows us to abandon the kernels delayed work queue interface
and all the compatibility code it requires.
This code never actually used the delay functionality it was just
done this way to leverage the existing compatibility code. All that
is required is a thread context to perform the allocation in. The
only thing clever in this change is that we take advantage of the
preallocated task queue entries to avoid a memory allocation.

Shift the cache and magazine ageing functionality over to the new
delayed taskq interfaces. This allows us to abandon the kernels
delayed work queue interface and all the compatibility code it
requires.
However, the delayed taskq interface does not allow us to schedule
a task for a specfic cpu so the ageing code was slightly reworked.
The magazine ageing delay has been directly linked to the cache
ageing function. The spl_cache_age() function invokes on_each_cpu()
in order to run spl_magazine_age() on each cpu. It then blocks
waiting for them to complete and promptly reclaims any free slabs.
When restructing the code wasn't the primary goal I think the
new code is far more understable and maintainable. It also should
help minimize magazine thrashing because free slabs are immediately
released after the magazine is aged.

When this code was originally written I went overboard and allowed
for the possibility of creating a cache in an atomic context. In
practice there are no callers which ever do this. This makes sense
since a cache is by design a long lived data structure.
To prevent abuse of this function going forward I'm removing the
code which is supported to handle an atomic context. All allocators
have been updated to use KM_SLEEP and the might_sleep() debug macro
has been added to immediately detect atomic callers.

Allowing the spl_cache_grow_work() function to reclaim inodes
allows for two unlikely deadlocks. Therefore, we clear __GFP_FS
for these allocations. The two deadlocks are:
* While holding the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj1) lock a function
calls kmem_cache_alloc() which happens to need to allocate a
new slab. To allocate the new slab we enter FS level reclaim
and attempt to evict several inodes. To evict these inodes we
need to take the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj2) lock and it
just happens that obj1 and obj2 use the same hashed lock.
* Similar to the first case however instead of getting blocked
on the hash lock we block in txg_wait_open() which is waiting
for the next txg which isn't coming because the txg_sync
thread is blocked in kmem_cache_alloc().
Note this isn't a 100% fix because vmalloc() won't strictly
honor __GFP_FS. However, it practice this is sufficient because
several very unlikely things must all occur concurrently.

Issue zfsonlinux/zfs#1101
If we are reaping from the cache and a concurrent allocation
occurs then the caller must block until the reaping is complete.
This is signaled by the clearing of the KMC_BIT_REAPING bit.
Otherwise the caller will be in a tight loop which takes and
releases the skc->skc_cache lock. When there are multiple
concurrent callers the system will thrash on the lock and
appear to lock up.

Because only virtual slabs may have emergency objects and these
objects are guaranteed to have physical addresses. It can be
easily determined if the passed object is a virtual slab object
or an emergency object. This allows us to completely optimize
the emergency object free case out of the common free path.

In the initial implementation emergency objects were tracked on a
per-cache list. The assumption was that under normal operation we
would never allocate more than a handful of these objects. So the
cost of walking the list during free was expected to be negligible.
However real world usage has shown that emergency objects tend to
be allocated in batches. A deadlock will be detected and several
thousand emergency objects will be allocated before the original
blocked slab allocation can complete.
Therefore the original list has been replaced by a red black tree
which is sorted by the memory address of each allocated object.
This bounds the worst case insertion and removal time to O(log n)
which minimize contention on the assoicated spin lock.

The entire goal of performing the slab allocations asynchronously
is to be able to detect when a vmalloc() deadlocks. In this case,
and only this case, do we want to start allocating emergency objects.
The trick here is to minimize false positives because the overhead
of tracking emergency objects is far higher than normal slab objects.
With that goal in mind the code was reworked to be less sensitive
to slow allocations by increasing the wait time. Once a cache is
is marked deadlocked all subsequent allocations which can not be
satisfied with existing cache objects will immediately allocate new
emergency objects. This behavior persists until the asynchronous
allocation completes and clears the deadlocked flag.
The result of these tweaks is that far fewer emergency objects
get created which is important because this minimizes the cost of
releasing them latter in kmem_cache_free().

This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with
__vmalloc() based slabs. The issue is that the Linux kernel does
not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc(). This makes it unsafe
to use in a writeback context. Unfortunately, this is a use case
ZFS depends on for correct operation.
Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches
are available which resolve the issue.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685
However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that
using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done.
Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate
the Linux VM.
While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is
something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will
likely destabilize the existing code. This work has been planned
for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the
SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage.
This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously
in the context of a work queue. This doesn't prevent the posibility
of the worker thread from deadlocking. However, the caller can now
safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete.
Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the
caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,. The objects
will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will
proceed as usual.
However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described
above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues
will timeout out. When this rare situation occurs they will attempt
to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags.
This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the
passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress.
As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the
worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress.
This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete
and normal operation will resume.
These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require
contiguous pages. However, their use should be rare so the impact
is expected to be minimal. If that turns out not to be the case in
practice further optimizations are possible.
One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived.
Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when
an object is freed. Is they accumulate on a system and the list
grows freeing objects will become more expensive. This could be
handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that
optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch.
Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing
slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality
was implemented. See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26
for full details. This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory
fragmentation problems.
The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the
end. The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency
objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows
the historical worst case. These value should give us a good idea
of how often these objects are needed. Based on these values under
real use cases we can tune the default behavior.
Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab
allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address
space lock. This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for
the system.

To minimize the chance of triggering an OOM during direct reclaim.
The kmem caches have been improved to make a best effort to reclaim
at least one slab when a reclaim function is registered. This helps
avoid the case where objects are released but they are spread over
multiple slabs so no memory gets reclaimed.

Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure
was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s. This patch clarifies things
by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart. The result of this

--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

This support has always been entirely optional. So when no
reasonable interface is available allow the dnlc_reduce_cache()
function to effectively become a no-op.
The downside of this change is that it will prevent the zfs arc
meta data limts from being enforced. However, the current zfs
implementation in this regard is already flawed and needs to

Update the the wrapper macros for the memory shrinker to handle
this 4th API change. The callback function now takes a
shrink_control structure. This is certainly a step in the
right direction but it's annoying to have to accomidate yet
another version of the API.
To resolve a potiential filesystem corruption issue a second
argument was added to invalidate_inodes(). This argument controls
whether dirty inodes are dropped or treated as busy when invalidating
a super block. When only the legacy API is available the second
argument will be dropped for compatibility.
Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune
cached entries from the dcache and icache. After the entries are
pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped.
Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy
access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the
reclaim count. However, in practice this doesn't need to be
exactly correct. We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction
(but not all) of the cache. The caller can determine if more
needs to be done.
The Linux shrinker has gone through three API changes since 2.6.22.
Rather than force every caller to understand all three APIs this
change consolidates the compatibility code in to the mm-compat.h
header. The caller then can then use a single spl provided
shrinker API which does the right thing for your kernel.
SPL_SHRINKER_CALLBACK_PROTO(shrinker_callback, cb, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask);
SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE(shrinker_struct, shrinker_callback, seeks);
spl_register_shrinker(&shrinker_struct);
spl_unregister_shrinker(&&shrinker_struct);
spl_exec_shrinker(&shrinker_struct, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask);
As part of vmalloc() a __pte_alloc_kernel() allocation may occur. This
internal allocation does not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
This means even when vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) is called it is possible that a
synchronous reclaim will occur. This reclaim can trigger file IO which
can result in a deadlock. This issue can be avoided by explicitly
setting PF_MEMALLOC on the process to subvert synchronous reclaim when
vmalloc() is called with !__GFP_FS.
An example stack of the deadlock can be found here (1), along with the
upstream kernel bug (2), and the original bug discussion on the
linux-mm mailing list (3). This code can be properly autoconf'ed
when the upstream bug is fixed.

In the 2.6.37 kernel the function invalidate_inodes() is no longer
exported for use by modules. This memory management functionality
is needed to invalidate the inodes attached to a super block without
unmounting the filesystem.
Because this function still exists in the kernel and the prototype
is available is a common header all we strictly need is the symbol
address. The address is obtained using spl_kallsyms_lookup_name()
and assigned to the variable invalidate_inodes_fn. Then a #define
is used to replace all instances of invalidate_inodes() with a
call to the acquired address. All the complexity is hidden behind
HAVE_INVALIDATE_INODES and invalidate_inodes() can be used as usual.
Long term we should try to get this, or another, interface made
available to modules again.
As of linux-2.6.35 the shrinker callback API now takes an additional
argument. The shrinker struct is passed to the callback so that users
can embed the shrinker structure in private data and use container_of()
to access it. This removes the need to always use global state for the
shrinker.
To handle this we add the SPL_AC_3ARGS_SHRINKER_CALLBACK autoconf
check to properly detect the API. Then we simply setup a callback
function with the correct number of arguments. For now we do not make
use of the new 3rd argument.
At some point we are going to need to implement the kmem cache
move callbacks to allow for kmem cache defragmentation. This
commit simply lays a small part of the API ground work, it does
not actually implement any of this feature. This is safe for
now because the move callbacks are just an optimization. Even
if they are registered we don't ever really have to call them.
Using kmem_free() results in deducting X bytes from the memory
accounting when --enable-debug is set. Unfortunately, currently
the counterpart kmem_asprintf() and friends do not properly
account for memory allocated, so we must do the same on free.
If we don't then we end up with a negative number of lost bytes
reported when the module is unloaded.
A better long term fix would be to add the accounting in to the
allocation side but that's a project for another day.
The Solaris semantics for kmem_alloc() and vmem_alloc() are that they
must never fail when called with KM_SLEEP. They may only fail if
called with KM_NOSLEEP otherwise they must block until memory is
available. This is quite different from how the Linux memory
allocators work, under Linux a memory allocation failure is always
possible and must be dealt with.
At one point in the past the kmem code did properly implement this
behavior, however as the code evolved this behavior was overlooked
in places. This patch goes through all three implementations of
the kmem/vmem allocation functions and ensures that they will all
block in the KM_SLEEP case when memory is not available. They
may still fail in the KM_NOSLEEP case in which case the caller
is responsible for handling the failure.
Special care is taken in vmalloc_nofail() to avoid thrashing the
system on the virtual address space spin lock. The down side of
course is if you do see a failure here, which is unlikely for
64-bit systems, your allocation will delay for an entire second.
Still this is preferable to locking up your system and it is the
best we can do given the constraints.
Additionally, the code was cleaned up to be much more readable
and comments were added to describe the various kmem-debug-*
configure options. The default configure options remain:
"--enable-debug-kmem --disable-debug-kmem-tracking"
When the kvasprintf() call fails they should reset the arguments
by calling va_start()/va_copy() and va_end() inside the loop,
otherwise they'll try to read more arguments rather than starting
over and reading them from the beginning.

To avoid conflicts with symbols defined by dependent packages
all debugging symbols have been prefixed with a 'S' for SPL.
Any dependent package needing to integrate with the SPL debug
should include the spl-debug.h header and use the 'S' prefixed
macros. They must also build with DEBUG defined.
To avoid symbol conflicts with dependent packages the debug
header must be split in to several parts. The <sys/debug.h>
header now only contains the Solaris macro's such as ASSERT
and VERIFY. The spl-debug.h header contain the spl specific
debugging infrastructure and should be included by any package
which needs to use the spl logging. Finally the spl-trace.h
header contains internal data structures only used for the log
facility and should not be included by anythign by spl-debug.c.
This way dependent packages can include the standard Solaris
headers without picking up any SPL debug macros. However, if
the dependant package want to integrate with the SPL debugging
subsystem they can then explicitly include spl-debug.h.
Along with this change I have dropped the CHECK_STACK macros
because the upstream Linux kernel now has much better stack
depth checking built in and we don't need this complexity.
Additionally SBUG has been replaced with PANIC and provided as
part of the Solaris macro set. While the Solaris version is
really panic() that conflicts with the Linux kernel so we'll
just have to make due to PANIC. It should rarely be called
directly, the prefered usage would be an ASSERT or VERIFY.
There's lots of change here but this cleanup was overdue.
We might as well have both asprintf() variants. This allows us
to safely pass a va_list through several levels of the stack
using va_copy() instead of va_start().
This fix was long overdue. Most of the ground work was laid long
ago to include the exact function and line number in the error message
which there was an issue with a memory allocation call. However,
probably due to lack of time at the moment that informatin never
made it in to the error message. This patch fixes that and trys
to standardize the kmem debug messages as well.
This patch adds three missing Solaris functions: kmem_asprintf(), strfree(),
and strdup(). They are all implemented as a thin layer which just calls
their Linux counterparts. As part of this an autoconf check for kvasprintf
was added because it does not appear in older kernels. If the kernel does
not provide it then spl-generic implements it.
Additionally the dead DEBUG_KMEM_UNIMPLEMENTED code was removed to clean
things up and make the kmem.h a little more readable.
Remove the kmem_set_warning() hack used by the kmem-splat regression
tests with a per-allocation flag called __GFP_NOWARN. This matches
the lower level linux flag of similar by slightly different function.
The idea is you can then explicitly set this flag on requests where
you know your breaking the max 8k rule but you need/want to do it
anyway.
This is currently used by the regression tests where we intentionally
push things to the limit but don't want the log noise. Additionally,
we are forced to use it in spl_kmem_cache_create() because by default
NR_CPUS is very large and theres no easy way to handle that.
Finally, I've added a stack_dump() call to the warning when it is
trigger to make to clear exactly where the allocation is taking place.
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
Allowing MAX_ORDER-1 sized allocations for kmem based slabs have
been observed to result in deadlocks. To help prvent this limit
max kmem based slab size to MAX_ORDER-3. Just for the record
callers should not be creating slabs like this, but if they do
we should still handle it as safely as we can.
This patch is another step towards updating the code to handle the
32-bit kernels which I have not been regularly testing. This changes
do not really impact the common case I'm expected which is the latest
kernel running on an x86_64 arch.
Until the linux-2.6.31 kernel the x86 arch did not have support for
64-bit atomic operations. Additionally, the new atomic_compat.h support
for this case was wrong because it embedded a spinlock in the atomic
variable which must always and only be 64-bits total. To handle these
32-bit issues we now simply fall back to the --enable-atomic-spinlock
implementation if the kernel does not provide the 64-bit atomic funcs.
The second issue this patch addresses is the DEBUG_KMEM assumption that
there will always be atomic64 funcs available. On 32-bit archs this may
not be true, and actually that's just fine. In that case the kernel will
will never be able to allocate more the 32-bits worth anyway. So just
check if atomic64 funcs are available, if they are not it means this
is a 32-bit machine and we can safely use atomic_t's instead.
