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.

The ZFS range locking code in zfs_rlock.c/h depends on ZPL-specific
data structures, specifically znode_t. However, it's also used by
the ZVOL code, which uses a "dummy" znode_t to pass to the range
locking code.
We should clean this up so that the range locking code is generic
and can be used equally by ZPL and ZVOL, and also can be used by
future consumers that may need to run in userland (libzpool) as
well as the kernel.
Porting notes:
* Added missing sys/avl.h include to sys/zfs_rlock.h.
* Removed 'dbuf is within the locked range' ASSERTs from dmu_sync().
This was needed because ztest does not yet use a locked_range_t.
* Removed "Approved by:" tag requirement from OpenZFS commit
check to prevent needless warnings when integrating changes
which has not been merged to illumos.
* Reverted free_list range lock changes which were originally
needed to defer the cv_destroy() which was called immediately
after cv_broadcast(). With d2733258 this should be safe but
if not we may need to reintroduce this logic.
* Reverts: The following two commits were reverted and squashed in
to this change in order to make it easier to apply OpenZFS 9689.
- d88895a0, which removed the dummy znode from zvol_state
- e3a07cd0, which updated ztest to use range locks
* Preserved optimized rangelock comparison function. Preserved the
rangelock free list. The cv_destroy() function will block waiting
for all processes in cv_wait() to be scheduled and drop their
reference. This is done to ensure it's safe to free the condition
variable. However, blocking while holding the rl->rl_lock mutex
can result in a deadlock on Linux. A free list is introduced to
defer the cv_destroy() and kmem_free() until after the mutex is
released.

struct zvol_state contains a dummy znode, which is around 1KB on x64,
only for zfs_range_lock. But in reality, other than z_range_lock and
z_range_avl, zfs_range_lock only need znode on regular file, which
means we add 1KB on a structure and gain nothing.
In this patch, we remove the dummy znode for zvol_state. In order to
do that, we also need to refactor zfs_range_lock a bit. We move
z_range_lock and z_range_avl pair out of znode_t to form zfs_rlock_t.
This new struct replaces znode_t as the main handle inside the range
lock functions.
We also add pointers to z_size, z_blksz, and z_max_blksz so range lock
code doesn't depend on znode_t. This allows non-ZPL consumers like
Lustre to use the range locks with their equivalent znode_t structure.

caused when the common code was slightly adjusted for Linux.
This patch contains no functional changes. It only refreshes
the code to conform to style guide.
Everyone submitting patches for inclusion upstream should now
run 'make checkstyle' and resolve any warning prior to opening
a pull request. The automated builders have been updated to

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.

Issue #726
The original range lock implementation had to be modified by commit
8926ab7 because it was unsafe on Linux. In particular, calling
cv_destroy() immediately after cv_broadcast() is dangerous because
the waiters may still be asleep. Thus the following cv_destroy()
will free memory which may still be in use.
This was fixed by updating cv_destroy() to block on waiters but
this in turn introduced a deadlock. The deadlock was resolved
with the use of a taskq to move the offending free outside the
range lock. This worked well but using the taskq for the free
resulted in a serious performace hit. This is somewhat ironic
because at the time I felt using the taskq might improve things
by making the free asynchronous.
This patch refines the original fix and moves the free from the
taskq to a private free list. Then items which must be free'd
are simply inserted in to the list. When the range lock is dropped
it's safe to free the items. The list is walked and all rl_t
entries are freed.
This change improves small cached read performance by 26x. This
was expected because for small reads the number of locking calls
goes up significantly. More surprisingly this change significantly
improves large cache read performance. This probably attributable
to better cpu/memory locality. Very likely the same processor
which allocated the memory is now freeing it.

Closes#142
With the recent SPL change (d599e4fa) that forces cv_destroy()
to block until all waiters have been woken. It is now unsafe
to call cv_destroy() under the zp->z_range_lock() because it
is used as the condition variable mutex. If there are waiters
cv_destroy() will block until they wake up and aquire the mutex.
However, they will never aquire the mutex because cv_destroy()
will not return allowing it's caller to drop the lock. Deadlock.
To avoid this cv_destroy() is now run asynchronously in a taskq.
This solves two problems:
1) It is no longer run under the zp->z_range_lock so no deadlock.
2) Since cv_destroy() may now block we don't want this slowing
down zfs_range_unlock() and throttling the system.
This was not as much of an issue under OpenSolaris because their
cv_destroy() implementation does not do anything. They do however
risk a bad paging request if cv_destroy() returns, the memory holding
the condition variable is free'd, and then the waiters wake up and
try to reference it. It's a very small unlikely race, but it is
possible.
A new flag is required for the zfs_rlock code to determine if
it is operation of the zvol of zpl dataset. This used to be
keyed off the zp->z_vnode, which was a hack to begin with, but
with the removal of vnodes we needed a dedicated flag.
I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit.
When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing
that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure
there's much merrit in it. As such I'll just summerize the intent
of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit. Broadly
the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible
and replace it with native Linux equivilants. More specifically:
1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t. While the
type is largely the same calling it private super block data
rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names
this. While non critical it makes the code easier to read when
your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms.
2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode. The Linux VFS doesn't have
the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to
create one. There are in fact several good reasons to remove it.
It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it
conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's
a good change it will be out of date. The code has been updated
to remove all need for this type.
3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types. Along with this shift
all uses of types to mode bits. The Solaris code would pass a
vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode. Just update all the
code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy.
4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with
inode helpers. The big example here is creating iput_aync to
replace vn_rele_async. Other vn helpers will be addressed as
needed but they should be be emulated. They are a Solaris VFS'ism
and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants.
5) Update znode alloc/free code. Under Linux it's common to
embed the inode specific data with the inode itself. This removes
the need for an extra memory allocation. In zfs this information
is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it. Allocators
have been updated accordingly.
6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the
super block and handling mount options has been added this
code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there.
This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.
