Also, the build step is already installing stuff into the directory where

This has the advantage of being a stable functionally equivalent

The former "wait_on_bit" interface required an 'action' function to

can be satisfied by one of just two functions: one which uses
io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). This API change

The correct behavior for all registered shrinkers is to return the
number of objects in their cache. In theory this allows the Linux
VM to balance memory reclaim across all registered caches.
In commit b9b3715 this behavior was disabled in favor of returning
-1 which notifies the VM that no additional objects are available
for reclaim. This was done as a workaround to resolve thrashing
in shrink_slabs() which could occur when memory was low and numerous
core where in reclaim. Unfortunately, this has been observed to
increase the likelihood of OOM events when SPL slab consumers are
responsible for consuming the majority of memory.
Therefore, this patch makes this behavior tunable. Setting the
spl_kmem_cache_reclaim module option to 0x1 will result in the
shrinker only being called once. This is the default behavior.

For small objects the Linux slab allocator has several advantages
over its counterpart in the SPL. These include:
1) It is more memory-efficient and packs objects more tightly.
2) It is continually tuned to maximize performance.
Therefore it makes sense to layer the SPLs slab allocator on top
of the Linux slab allocator. This allows us to leverage the
advantages above while preserving the Illumos semantics we depend
on. However, there are some things we need to be careful of:
1) The Linux slab allocator was never designed to work well with
large objects. Because the SPL slab must still handle this use
case a cut off limit was added to transition from Linux slab
backed objects to kmem or vmem backed slabs.
spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
size in bytes will be backed by the Linux slab. By default
this value is zero which disables the Linux slab functionality.
Reasonable values for this cut off limit are in the range of
4096-16386 bytes.
spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
size in bytes will be backed by a kmem slab. Objects over this
size will be vmem backed instead. This value defaults to
1/8 a page, or 512 bytes on an x86_64 architecture.
2) Be aware that using the Linux slab may inadvertently introduce
new deadlocks. Care has been taken previously to ensure that
all allocations which occur in the write path use GFP_NOIO.
However, there may be internal allocations performed in the
Linux slab which do not honor these flags. If this is the case
a deadlock may occur.
The path forward is definitely to start relying on the Linux slab.
But for that to happen we need to start building confidence that
there aren't any unexpected surprises lurking for us. And ideally
need to move completely away from using the SPLs slab for large
memory allocations. This patch is a first step.
NOTES:
1) The KMC_NOMAGAZINE flag was leveraged to support the Linux slab
backed caches but it is not supported for kmem/vmem backed caches.
2) Regardless of the spl_kmem_cache_*_limit settings a cache may
be explicitly set to a given type by passed the KMC_KMEM,
KMC_VMEM, or KMC_SLAB flags during cache creation.
3) The constructors, destructors, and reclaim callbacks are all
functional and will be called regardless of the cache type.
4) KMC_SLAB caches will not appear in /proc/spl/kmem/slab due to
the issues involved in presenting correct object accounting.
Instead they will appear in /proc/slabinfo under the same names.
5) Several kmem SPLAT tests needed to be fixed because they relied
incorrectly on internal kmem slab accounting. With the updated
test cases all the SPLAT tests pass as expected.
6) An autoconf test was added to ensure that the __GFP_COMP flag
was correctly added to the default flags used when allocating
a slab. This is required to ensure all pages in higher order
slabs are properly refcounted, see ae16ed9.
7) When using the SLUB allocator there is no need to attempt to
set the __GFP_COMP flag. This has been the default behavior
for the SLUB since Linux 2.6.25.
8) When using the SLUB it may be desirable to set the slub_nomerge
kernel parameter to prevent caches from being merged.

By default maximal number of objects in slab can't exceed (16*2 - 1) and slab
size can't exceed 32M.
Today's high end servers having couple hundreds of RAM available for ARC may
run into a trouble with virtual memory because of the restriction mentioned
above.
Problem:
Reasons for very high number of virtual memory allocations:
* Real slab size very small relative to the size of the entire RAM
* Slabs allocated on virtual memory and fill entire ARC
The result is very high number of allocated virtual memory ranges (hundreds of
ranges). When virtual memory subsystem manages high number of ranges its
performance become so poor that it freezes from time to time.
Solution:
Number of objects per slab should be increased taking into account maximal
slab size which can also be increased if needed.

By setting __GFP_NORETRY the kernel memory reclaim logic was allowed to
abort early and dump a falled allocation stack to the console. Since
this was done in a tight loop to fill memory it could result in a large
number of stacks being dumped to the console. This in turn slowed down
the test sufficiently so it exceeded the time limit and failed.
To resolve this issue the __GFP_NORETRY flag is being removed. This is
how it should have been called originally to ensure we're simulating
the behavior of most callers which will use the GFP_KERNEL flag.
In addition, the reclaim granularity of 1000 objects was far to coarse
for this to be a realistic test. For kmem:slab_reclaim there might
only be a few thousand objects total in the cache. Therefore, the
SPLAT_KMEM_OBJ_RECLAIM constant for these tests was lowered. This
will cause the reclaim callback to run more frequently which makes
for a better test case.
The frequency of the cache reaping in kmem:slab_reap was increased
to accommodate the reduced number of objects released during the
reclaim.
These changes only impact the test cases and were done to remove
false positives caused by the test case itself.

While porting Illumos #3537 I found that ks_lock member of kstat_t
structure is different between Illumos and SPL. It is a pointer to
the kmutex_t in Illumos, but the mutex lock itself in SPL.
Apparently Illumos kstat API allows consumer to override the lock
if required. With SPL implementation it is not possible anymore.
Things were alright until the first attempt to actually override
the lock. Porting of Illumos #3537 introduced such code for the
first time.
In order to provide the Solaris/Illumos like functionality we:
1. convert ks_lock to "kmutex_t *ks_lock"
2. create a new field "kmutex_t ks_private_lock"
3. On kstat_create() ks_lock = &ks_private_lock
Thus if consumer doesn't care we still have our internal lock in use.
If, however, consumer does care she has a chance to set ks_lock to
anything else before calling kstat_install().
The rest of the code will use ks_lock regardless of its origin.
