With both abd_size and abd_nents being uint_t it makes no sense for
abd_chunkcnt_for_bytes() to return size_t. Random mix of different
types used to count chunks looks bad and makes compiler more difficult
to optimize the code.
In particular on FreeBSD this change allows compiler to completely
optimize out abd_verify_scatter() when built without debug, removing
pointless 64-bit division and even more pointless empty loop.

The ZFS_ENTER/ZFS_EXIT/ZFS_VERFY_ZP macros should not be used

value which is correct for the common code, but not for the Linux
specific kernel code which expects a negative return value. The
ZPL_ENTER/ZPL_EXIT/ZPL_VERFY_ZP macros should be used instead.
Furthermore, the ZPL_EXIT macro has been updated to not call the

This patch adds a new top-level vdev type called dRAID, which stands
for Distributed parity RAID. This pool configuration allows all dRAID
vdevs to participate when rebuilding to a distributed hot spare device.
This can substantially reduce the total time required to restore full
parity to pool with a failed device.
A dRAID pool can be created using the new top-level `draid` type.
Like `raidz`, the desired redundancy is specified after the type:
`draid[1,2,3]`. No additional information is required to create the
pool and reasonable default values will be chosen based on the number
of child vdevs in the dRAID vdev.
zpool create <pool> draid[1,2,3] <vdevs...>
Unlike raidz, additional optional dRAID configuration values can be
provided as part of the draid type as colon separated values. This
allows administrators to fully specify a layout for either performance
or capacity reasons. The supported options include:
zpool create <pool> \
draid[<parity>][:<data>d][:<children>c][:<spares>s] \
<vdevs...>
- draid[parity] - Parity level (default 1)
- draid[:<data>d] - Data devices per group (default 8)
- draid[:<children>c] - Expected number of child vdevs
- draid[:<spares>s] - Distributed hot spares (default 0)

by zloop.sh to test a wide range of dRAID configurations.
-K draid|raidz|random - kind of RAID to test
-D <value> - dRAID data drives per group

== Motivation and Context
The new vdev ashift optimization prevents the removal of devices when
a zfs configuration is comprised of disks which have different logical
and physical block sizes. This is caused because we set 'spa_min_ashift'
in vdev_open and then later call 'vdev_ashift_optimize'. This would
result in an inconsistency between spa's ashift calculations and that
of the top-level vdev.
In addition, the optimization logical ignores the overridden ashift
value that would be provided by '-o ashift=<val>'.
== Description
This change reworks the vdev ashift optimization so that it's only
set the first time the device is configured. It still allows the
physical and logical ahsift values to be set every time the device
is opened but those values are only consulted on first open.

When expanding a device zfs needs to rescan the partition table to
get the correct size. This can only happen when we're in the kernel
and requires the device to be closed. As part of the rescan, udev is
notified and the device links are removed and recreated. This leave a
window where the vdev code may try to reopen the device before udev
has recreated the link. If that happens, then the pool may end up in
a suspended state.
To correct this, we leverage the BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION ioctl which
allows the partition information to be modified even while it's in use.
This ioctl also does not remove the device link associated with the zfs
data partition so it eliminates the race condition that can occur in
the kernel.

Allow to rename file systems without remounting if it is possible.
It is possible for file systems with 'mountpoint' property set to

Currently such file systems are unmounted on rename and not even

This introduces layering violation, as we need to update

In my opinion it is worth it, as it allow to update FreeBSD in even
cleaner way - in ZFS-only configuration root file system is ZFS file
system with 'mountpoint' property set to 'legacy'. If root dataset is
named system/rootfs, we can snapshot it (system/rootfs@upgrade), clone
it (system/oldrootfs), update FreeBSD and if it doesn't boot we can
boot back from system/oldrootfs and rename it back to system/rootfs
while it is mounted as /. Before it was not possible, because

Many modern devices use physical allocation units that are much
larger than the minimum logical allocation size accessible by
external commands. Two prevalent examples of this are 512e disk
drives (512b logical sector, 4K physical sector) and flash devices
(512b logical sector, 4K or larger allocation block size, and 128k
or larger erase block size). Operations that modify less than the
physical sector size result in a costly read-modify-write or garbage
collection sequence on these devices.
Simply exporting the true physical sector of the device to ZFS would
yield optimal performance, but has two serious drawbacks:
1. Existing pools created with devices that have different logical
and physical block sizes, but were configured to use the logical
block size (e.g. because the OS version used for pool construction
reported the logical block size instead of the physical block
size) will suddenly find that the vdev allocation size has
increased. This can be easily tolerated for active members of
the array, but ZFS would prevent replacement of a vdev with
another identical device because it now appears that the smaller
allocation size required by the pool is not supported by the new
device.
2. The device's physical block size may be too large to be supported
by ZFS. The optimal allocation size for the vdev may be quite
large. For example, a RAID controller may export a vdev that
requires read-modify-write cycles unless accessed using 64k
aligned/sized requests. ZFS currently has an 8k minimum block
size limit.
Reporting both the logical and physical allocation sizes for vdevs
solves these problems. A device may be used so long as the logical
block size is compatible with the configuration. By comparing the
logical and physical block sizes, new configurations can be optimized
and administrators can be notified of any existing pools that are
sub-optimal.

Issue #6572Closes#10706
The ARC caches data in scatter ABD's, which are collections of pages,
which are typically 4K. Therefore, the space used to cache each block
is rounded up to a multiple of 4K. The ABD subsystem tracks this wasted
memory in the `scatter_chunk_waste` kstat. However, the ARC's `size` is
not aware of the memory used by this round-up, it only accounts for the
size that it requested from the ABD subsystem.
Therefore, the ARC is effectively using more memory than it is aware of,
due to the `scatter_chunk_waste`. This impacts observability, e.g.
`arcstat` will show that the ARC is using less memory than it
effectively is. It also impacts how the ARC responds to memory
pressure. As the amount of `scatter_chunk_waste` changes, it appears to
the ARC as memory pressure, so it needs to resize `arc_c`.
If the sector size (`1<<ashift`) is the same as the page size (or
larger), there won't be any waste. If the (compressed) block size is
relatively large compared to the page size, the amount of
`scatter_chunk_waste` will be small, so the problematic effects are
minimal.
However, if using 512B sectors (`ashift=9`), and the (compressed) block
size is small (e.g. `compression=on` with the default `volblocksize=8k`
or a decreased `recordsize`), the amount of `scatter_chunk_waste` can be
very large. On a production system, with `arc_size` at a constant 50%
of memory, `scatter_chunk_waste` has been been observed to be 10-30% of
memory.
This commit adds `scatter_chunk_waste` to `arc_size`, and adds a new
`waste` field to `arcstat`. As a result, the ARC's memory usage is more
observable, and `arc_c` does not need to be adjusted as frequently.

The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

The SPL kmem_cache implementation provides a mechanism, `skc_reclaim`,
whereby individual caches can register a callback to be invoked when
there is memory pressure. This mechanism is used in only one place: the
ARC registers the `hdr_recl()` reclaim function. This function wakes up
the `arc_reap_zthr`, whose job is to call `kmem_cache_reap()` and
`arc_reduce_target_size()`.
The `skc_reclaim` callbacks are invoked only by shrinker callbacks and
`arc_reap_zthr`, and only callback only wakes up `arc_reap_zthr`. When
called from `arc_reap_zthr`, waking `arc_reap_zthr` is a no-op. When
called from shrinker callbacks, we are already aware of memory pressure
and responding to it. Therefore there is little benefit to ever calling
the `hdr_recl()` `skc_reclaim` callback.
The `arc_reap_zthr` also wakes once a second, and if memory is low when
allocating an ARC buffer. Therefore, additionally waking it from the
shrinker calbacks has little benefit.
The shrinker callbacks can be invoked very frequently, e.g. 10,000 times
per second. Additionally, for invocation of the shrinker callback,
skc_reclaim is invoked many times. Therefore, this mechanism consumes
significant amounts of CPU time.
The kmem_cache shrinker calls `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()`, which,
in addition to invoking `skc_reclaim()`, does two things to attempt to
free pages for use by the system:
1. Return free objects from the magazine layer to the slab layer
2. Return entirely-free slabs to the page layer (i.e. free pages)
These actions apply only to caches implemented by the SPL, not those
that use the underlying kernel SLAB/SLUB caches. The SPL caches are
used for objects >=32KB, which are primarily linear ABD's cached in the
DBUF cache.
These actions (freeing objects from the magazine layer and returning
entirely-free slabs) are also taken whenever a `kmem_cache_free()` call
finds a full magazine. So there would typically be zero entirely-free
slabs, and the number of objects in magazines is limited (typically no
more than 64 objects per magazine, and there's one magazine per CPU).
Therefore the benefit of `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()`, while nonzero, is
modest.
We also call `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()` from the `arc_reap_zthr`, when
memory pressure is detected. Therefore, calling
`spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()` from the kmem_cache shrinker is not needed.
This commit removes the `skc_reclaim` mechanism, its only callback
`hdr_recl()`, and the kmem_cache shrinker callback.

`arc_free_memory()` returns the amount of memory that the ARC considers
to be free. This includes pages that are not actually free, but can be
evicted with essentially zero cost (without doing any i/o), for example
the page cache. The ARC can "squeeze out" any pages included in this
calculation, leaving only `arc_sys_free` (1/64th of RAM) for these
free/evictable pages.
Included in the count of free/evictable pages is
`nr_inactive_anon_pages()`, which is described as "Anonymous memory that
has not been used recently and can be swapped out". These pages would
have to be written out to disk (swap) in order to evict them, and they
are not included in `/proc/meminfo`'s `MemAvailable`.
Therefore it is not appropriate for `nr_inactive_anon_pages()` to be
included in the free/evictable memory returned by `arc_free_memory()`,
because the ARC shouldn't (intentionally) make the system swap.
This commit removes `nr_inactive_anon_pages()` from the memory returned
by `arc_free_memory()`. This is a step towards enabling the ARC to
manage free memory by monitoring it and reducing the ARC size as we
notice that there is insufficient free memory (in the `arc_reap_zthr`),
rather than the current method of relying on the `arc_shrinker`
callback.

The filesystem_limit and snapshot_limit properties limit the number of
filesystems or snapshots that can be created below this dataset.
According to the manpage, "The limit is not enforced if the user is
allowed to change the limit." Two types of users are allowed to change
the limit:
1. Those that have been delegated the `filesystem_limit` or
`snapshot_limit` permission, e.g. with
`zfs allow USER filesystem_limit DATASET`. This works properly.
2. A user with elevated system privileges (e.g. root). This does not
work - the root user will incorrectly get an error when trying to create
a snapshot/filesystem, if it exceeds the `_limit` property.
The problem is that `priv_policy_ns()` does not work if the `cred_t` is
not that of the current process. This happens when
`dsl_enforce_ds_ss_limits()` is called in syncing context (as part of a
sync task's check func) to determine the permissions of the
corresponding user process.
This commit fixes the issue by passing the `task_struct` (typedef'ed as
a `proc_t`) to syncing context, and then using `has_capability()` to
determine if that process is privileged. Note that we still need to
pass the `cred_t` to syncing context so that we can check if the user
was delegated this permission with `zfs allow`.
This problem only impacts Linux. Wrappers are added to FreeBSD but it
continues to use `priv_check_cred()`, which works on arbitrary `cred_t`.

The SPL provides a wrapper for the kernel's shrinker callbacks, which
enables the ZFS code to interface with multiple versions of the shrinker
API's from different kernel versions. Specifically, Linux kernels 3.0 -
3.11 has a single "combined" callback, and Linux kernels 3.12 and later
have two "split" callbacks. The SPL provides a wrapper function so that
the ZFS code only needs to implement one version of the callbacks.
Currently the SPL's wrappers are designed such that the ZFS code
implements the older, "combined" callback. There are a few downsides to
this approach:
* The general design within ZFS is for the latest Linux kernel to be
considered the "first class" API.
* The newer, "split" callback API is easier to understand, because each
callback has one purpose.
* The current wrappers do not completely abstract out the differing
API's, so ZFS code needs `#ifdef` code to handle the differing return
values required for different kernel versions.
This commit addresses these drawbacks by having the ZFS code provide the
latest, "split" callbacks, and the SPL provides a wrapping function for
the older, "combined" API.

ZFS registers a memory hook, `__arc_shrinker_func`, which is supposed to
allow the ARC to shrink when the kernel experiences memory pressure.
The ARC shrinker changes `arc_c` via a call to
`arc_reduce_target_size()`. Before commit 3ec34e5527, the ARC
shrinker would also evict data from the ARC to bring `arc_size` down to
the new `arc_c`. However, that commit (seemingly inadvertently) made it
so that the ARC shrinker no longer evicts any data or waits for eviction
to complete.
Repeated calls to the ARC shrinker can reduce `arc_c` drastically, often
all the way to `arc_c_min`. Since it doesn't wait for the actual
eviction of data from the ARC, this creates a situation where `arc_size`
is more than `arc_c` for the several seconds/minutes it takes for
`arc_adjust_zthr` to evict data from the ARC. During this time,
arc_get_data_impl() will block, so ZFS can't process read/write requests
(e.g. from iSCSI, NFS, or read/write syscalls).
To ensure that `arc_c` doesn't shrink faster than the adjust thread can
keep up, this commit makes the ARC shrinker wait for the eviction to
complete, resulting in similar behavior to what we had before commit
3ec34e5527.
Note: commit 3ec34e5527 is `OpenZFS 9284 - arc_reclaim_thread
has 2 jobs` and was integrated in December 2018, and is part of ZoL
0.8.x but not 0.7.x.
Additionally, when the ARC size is reduced drastically, the
`arc_adjust_zthr` can be on-CPU for many seconds without blocking. Any
threads that are bound to the same CPU that arc_adjust_zthr is running
on will not able to run for a long time.
To ensure that CPU-bound threads can make progress, this commit changes
`arc_evict_state_impl()` make a voluntary preemption call,
`cond_resched()`.

Implement semi-compatible functionality for mode=0 (preallocation)
and mode=FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE (preallocation beyond EOF) for ZPL.
Since ZFS does COW and snapshots, preallocating blocks for a file
cannot guarantee that writes to the file will not run out of space.
Even if the first overwrite was guaranteed, it would not handle any
later overwrite of blocks due to COW, so strict compliance is futile.
Instead, make a best-effort check that at least enough free space is
currently available in the pool (with a bit of margin), then create
a sparse file of the requested size and continue on with life.
This does not handle all cases (e.g. several fallocate() calls before
writing into the files when the filesystem is nearly full), which
would require a more complex mechanism to be implemented, probably
based on a modified version of dmu_prealloc(), but is usable as-is.
A new module option zfs_fallocate_reserve_percent is used to control
the reserve margin for any single fallocate call. By default, this
is 110% of the requested preallocation size, so an additional 10% of
available space is reserved for overhead to allow the application a
good chance of finishing the write when the fallocate() succeeds.
If the heuristics of this basic fallocate implementation are not
desirable, the old non-functional behavior of returning EOPNOTSUPP
for calls can be restored by setting zfs_fallocate_reserve_percent=0.
The parameter of zfs_statvfs() is changed to take an inode instead
of a dentry, since no dentry is available in zfs_fallocate_common().
A few tests from @behlendorf cover basic fallocate functionality.

On Illumos callers of cv_timedwait and cv_timedwait_hires
can't distinguish between whether or not the cv was signaled
or the call timed out. Illumos handles this (for some definition
of handles) by calling cv_signal in the return path if we were
signaled but the return value indicates instead that we timed
out. This would make sense if it were possible to query the the
cv for its net signal disposition. However, this isn't possible
and, in spite of the fact that there are places in the code that
clearly take a different and incompatible path if a timeout value
is indicated, this distinction appears to be rather subtle to most
developers. This problem is further compounded by the fact that on
Linux, calling cv_signal in the return path wouldn't even do the
right thing unless there are other waiters.
Since it is possible for the caller to independently determine how
much time is remaining but it is not possible to query if the cv
was in fact signaled, prioritizing signalling over timeout seems
like a cleaner solution. In addition, judging from usage patterns
within the code itself, it is also less error prone.

The linux module can be built either as an external module, or compiled
into the kernel, using copy-builtin. The source and build directories
are slightly different between the two cases, and currently, compiling
into the kernel still refers to some files from the configured ZFS
source tree, instead of the copies inside the kernel source tree. There
is also duplication between copy-builtin, which creates a Kbuild file to
build ZFS inside the kernel tree, and the top-level module/Makefile.in.
Fix this by moving the list of modules and the CFLAGS settings into a
new module/Kbuild.in, which will be used by the kernel kbuild
infrastructure, and using KBUILD_EXTMOD to distinguish the two cases
within the Makefiles, in order to choose appropriate include
directories etc.

Closes#10379Closes#10421
Background:
By increasing the recordsize property above the default of 128KB, a
filesystem may have "large" blocks. By default, a send stream of such a
filesystem does not contain large WRITE records, instead it decreases
objects' block sizes to 128KB and splits the large blocks into 128KB
blocks, allowing the large-block filesystem to be received by a system
that does not support the `large_blocks` feature. A send stream
generated by `zfs send -L` (or `--large-block`) preserves the large
block size on the receiving system, by using large WRITE records.
When receiving an incremental send stream for a filesystem with large
blocks, if the send stream's -L flag was toggled, a bug is encountered
in which the file's contents are incorrectly zeroed out. The contents
of any blocks that were not modified by this send stream will be lost.
"Toggled" means that the previous send used `-L`, but this incremental
does not use `-L` (-L to no-L); or that the previous send did not use
`-L`, but this incremental does use `-L` (no-L to -L).
Changes:
This commit addresses the problem with several changes to the semantics
of zfs send/receive:
1. "-L to no-L" incrementals are rejected. If the previous send used
`-L`, but this incremental does not use `-L`, the `zfs receive` will
fail with this error message:
incremental send stream requires -L (--large-block), to match
previous receive.
2. "no-L to -L" incrementals are handled correctly, preserving the
smaller (128KB) block size of any already-received files that used large
blocks on the sending system but were split by `zfs send` without the
`-L` flag.
3. A new send stream format flag is added, `SWITCH_TO_LARGE_BLOCKS`.
This feature indicates that we can correctly handle "no-L to -L"
incrementals. This flag is currently not set on any send streams. In
the future, we intend for incremental send streams of snapshots that
have large blocks to use `-L` by default, and these streams will also
have the `SWITCH_TO_LARGE_BLOCKS` feature set. This ensures that streams
from the default use of `zfs send` won't encounter the bug mentioned
above, because they can't be received by software with the bug.
Implementation notes:
To facilitate accessing the ZPL's generation number,
`zfs_space_delta_cb()` has been renamed to `zpl_get_file_info()` and
restructured to fill in a struct with ZPL-specific info including owner
and generation.
In the "no-L to -L" case, if this is a compressed send stream (from
`zfs send -cL`), large WRITE records that are being written to small
(128KB) blocksize files need to be decompressed so that they can be
written split up into multiple blocks. The zio pipeline will recompress
each smaller block individually.
A new test case, `send-L_toggle`, is added, which tests the "no-L to -L"
case and verifies that we get an error for the "-L to no-L" case.

Closes#6224Closes#10383
The l2arc_evict() function is responsible for evicting buffers which
reference the next bytes of the L2ARC device to be overwritten. Teach
this function to additionally TRIM that vdev space before it is
overwritten if the device has been filled with data. This is done by
vdev_trim_simple() which trims by issuing a new type of TRIM,
TRIM_TYPE_SIMPLE.
We also implement a "Trim Ahead" feature. It is a zfs module parameter,
expressed in % of the current write size. This trims ahead of the
current write size. A minimum of 64MB will be trimmed. The default is 0
which disables TRIM on L2ARC as it can put significant stress to
underlying storage devices. To enable TRIM on L2ARC we set
l2arc_trim_ahead > 0.
We also implement TRIM of the whole cache device upon addition to a
pool, pool creation or when the header of the device is invalid upon
importing a pool or onlining a cache device. This is dependent on
l2arc_trim_ahead > 0. TRIM of the whole device is done with
TRIM_TYPE_MANUAL so that its status can be monitored by zpool status -t.
We save the TRIM state for the whole device and the time of completion
on-disk in the header, and restore these upon L2ARC rebuild so that
zpool status -t can correctly report them. Whole device TRIM is done
asynchronously so that the user can export of the pool or remove the
cache device while it is trimming (ie if it is too slow).
We do not TRIM the whole device if persistent L2ARC has been disabled by
l2arc_rebuild_enabled = 0 because we may not want to lose all cached
buffers (eg we may want to import the pool with
l2arc_rebuild_enabled = 0 only once because of memory pressure). If
persistent L2ARC has been disabled by setting the module parameter
l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size to a value greater than the size of the
cache device then the whole device is trimmed upon creation or import of
a pool if l2arc_trim_ahead > 0.

Add a mechanism to wait for delete queue to drain.
When doing redacted send/recv, many workflows involve deleting files
that contain sensitive data. Because of the way zfs handles file
deletions, snapshots taken quickly after a rm operation can sometimes
still contain the file in question, especially if the file is very
large. This can result in issues for redacted send/recv users who
expect the deleted files to be redacted in the send streams, and not
appear in their clones.
This change duplicates much of the zpool wait related logic into a
zfs wait command, which can be used to wait until the internal
deleteq has been drained. Additional wait activities may be added
in the future.

== Summary ==
Prior to this change, sync writes to a zvol are processed serially.
This commit makes zvols process concurrently outstanding sync writes in
parallel, similar to how reads and async writes are already handled.
The result is that the throughput of sync writes is tripled.
== Background ==
When a write comes in for a zvol (e.g. over iscsi), it is processed by
calling `zvol_request()` to initiate the operation. ZFS is expected to
later call `BIO_END_IO()` when the operation completes (possibly from a
different thread). There are a limited number of threads that are
available to call `zvol_request()` - one one per iscsi client (unless
using MC/S). Therefore, to ensure good performance, the latency of
`zvol_request()` is important, so that many i/o operations to the zvol
can be processed concurrently. In other words, if the client has
multiple outstanding requests to the zvol, the zvol should have multiple
outstanding requests to the storage hardware (i.e. issue multiple
concurrent `zio_t`'s).
For reads, and async writes (i.e. writes which can be acknowledged
before the data reaches stable storage), `zvol_request()` achieves low
latency by dispatching the bulk of the work (including waiting for i/o
to disk) to a taskq. The taskq callback (`zvol_read()` or
`zvol_write()`) blocks while waiting for the i/o to disk to complete.
The `zvol_taskq` has 32 threads (by default), so we can have up to 32
concurrent i/os to disk in service of requests to zvols.
However, for sync writes (i.e. writes which must be persisted to stable
storage before they can be acknowledged, by calling `zil_commit()`),
`zvol_request()` does not use `zvol_taskq`. Instead it blocks while
waiting for the ZIL write to disk to complete. This has the effect of
serializing sync writes to each zvol. In other words, each zvol will
only process one sync write at a time, waiting for it to be written to
the ZIL before accepting the next request.
The same issue applies to FLUSH operations, for which `zvol_request()`
calls `zil_commit()` directly.
== Description of change ==
This commit changes `zvol_request()` to use
`taskq_dispatch_ent(zvol_taskq)` for sync writes, and FLUSh operations.
Therefore we can have up to 32 threads (the taskq threads)
simultaneously calling `zil_commit()`, for a theoretical performance
improvement of up to 32x.
To avoid the locking issue described in the comment (which this commit
removes), we acquire the rangelock from the taskq callback (e.g.
`zvol_write()`) rather than from `zvol_request()`. This applies to all
writes (sync and async), reads, and discard operations. This means that
multiple simultaneously-outstanding i/o's which access the same block
can complete in any order. This was previously thought to be incorrect,
but a review of the block device interface requirements revealed that
this is fine - the order is inherently not defined. The shorter hold
time of the rangelock should also have a slight performance improvement.
For an additional slight performance improvement, we use
`taskq_dispatch_ent()` instead of `taskq_dispatch()`, which avoids a
`kmem_alloc()` and eliminates a failure mode. This applies to all
writes (sync and async), reads, and discard operations.
== Performance results ==
We used a zvol as an iscsi target (server) for a Windows initiator
(client), with a single connection (the default - i.e. not MC/S).
We used `diskspd` to generate a workload with 4 threads, doing 1MB
writes to random offsets in the zvol. Without this change we get
231MB/s, and with the change we get 728MB/s, which is 3.15x the original
performance.
We ran a real-world workload, restoring a MSSQL database, and saw
throughput 2.5x the original.
We saw more modest performance wins (typically 1.5x-2x) when using MC/S
with 4 connections, and with different number of client threads (1, 8,
32).
