  every I/O even if the VDEV cache is disabled.
- Reduce lock scope.
- Avoid locking in vdev_cache_read() when the VDEV cache is disabled.
- Sort file names properly.
- Correct comment.

Avoid vq_lock drop in vdev_queue_aggregate()
vq_lock is already too congested for two more operations per I/O.
Instead of dropping and reacquiring it inside vdev_queue_aggregate()
delegate the zio_vdev_io_bypass() and zio_execute() calls for parent
I/Os to callers, that drop the lock any way to execute the new I/O.

Move gethrtime() calls out of vdev queue lock
This dramatically reduces the lock contention on systems with slower
(non-TSC) timecounters.  With TSC the difference is minimal, but since
this lock is pretty congested, any improvement counts.  Plus I don't
see any reason to do it under the lock other than the latency of the
lock itself, which this change actually reduces.

Remove pool io kstats (#12212)
This mostly reverts "3537 want pool io kstats" commit of 8 years ago.

From one side this code using pool-wide locks became pretty bad for
performance, creating significant lock contention in I/O pipeline.
From another, there are more efficient ways now to obtain detailed
statistics, while this statistics is illumos-specific and much less
usable on Linux and FreeBSD, reported only via procfs/sysctls.

This commit does not remove KSTAT_TYPE_IO implementation, that may
be removed later together with already unused KSTAT_TYPE_INTR and
KSTAT_TYPE_TIMER.

allow callers to allocate and provide the abd_t struct
The `abd_get_offset_*()` routines create an abd_t that references
another abd_t, and doesn't allocate any pages/buffers of its own.  In
some workloads, these routines may be called frequently, to create many
abd_t's representing small pieces of a single large abd_t.  In
particular, the upcoming RAIDZ Expansion project makes heavy use of
these routines.

This commit adds the ability for the caller to allocate and provide the
abd_t struct to a variant of `abd_get_offset_*()`.  This eliminates the
cost of allocating the abd_t and performing the accounting associated
with it (`abdstat_struct_size`).  The RAIDZ/DRAID code uses this for
the `rc_abd`, which references the zio's abd.  The upcoming RAIDZ
Expansion project will leverage this infrastructure to increase
performance of reads post-expansion by around 50%.

Additionally, some of the interfaces around creating and destroying
abd_t's are cleaned up.  Most significantly, the distinction between
`abd_put()` and `abd_free()` is eliminated; all types of abd_t's are
now disposed of with `abd_free()`.

Avoid some spa_has_pending_synctask() calls.
Since 8c4fb36a24 (PR #7795) spa_has_pending_synctask() started to
take two more locks per write inside txg_all_lists_empty().  I am
surprised those pool-wide locks are not contended, but still their
operations are visible in CPU profiles under contended vdev lock.

This commit slightly changes vdev_queue_max_async_writes() flow to
not call the function if we are going to return max_active any way
due to high amount of dirty data.  It allows to save some CPU time
exactly when the pool is busy.

Fix for "Reduce latency effects of non-interactive I/O"
It was found that setting min_active tunables for non-interactive I/Os
makes them stuck.  It is caused by zfs_vdev_nia_delay, that can never
be reached if we never issue any I/Os due to min_active set to zero.

Fix this by issuing at least one non-interactive I/O at a time when
there are no interactive I/Os.  When there are interactive I/Os, zero
min_active allows to completely block any non-interactive I/O.  It may
min_active starvation in some scenarios, but who we are to deny foot
shooting?

Reduce latency effects of non-interactive I/O
Investigating influence of scrub (especially sequential) on random read
latency I've noticed that on some HDDs single 4KB read may take up to 4
seconds!  Deeper investigation shown that many HDDs heavily prioritize
sequential reads even when those are submitted with queue depth of 1.

This patch addresses the latency from two sides:
 - by using _min_active queue depths for non-interactive requests while
   the interactive request(s) are active and few requests after;
 - by throttling it further if no interactive requests has completed
   while configured amount of non-interactive did.

While there, I've also modified vdev_queue_class_to_issue() to give
more chances to schedule at least _min_active requests to the lowest
priorities.  It should reduce starvation if several non-interactive
processes are running same time with some interactive and I think should
make possible setting of zfs_vdev_max_active to as low as 1.

I've benchmarked this change with 4KB random reads from ZVOL with 16KB
block size on newly written non-fragmented pool.  On fragmented pool I
also saw improvements, but not so dramatic.  Below are log2 histograms
of the random read latency in milliseconds for different devices:

4 2x mirror vdevs of SATA HDD WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 before:
0, 0, 2,  1,  12,  21,  19,  18, 10, 15, 17, 21
after:
0, 0, 0, 24, 101, 195, 419, 250, 47,  4,  0,  0
, that means maximum latency reduction from 2s to 500ms.

4 2x mirror vdevs of SATA HDD WDC WD80EFZX-68UW8N0 before:
0, 0,  2,  31,  38,  28,  18,  12, 17, 20, 24, 10, 3
after:
0, 0, 55, 247, 455, 470, 412, 181, 36,  0,  0,  0, 0
, i.e. from 4s to 250ms.

after:

after:
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 283, 92351, 34844,  90

I've also measured scrub time during the test and on idle pools.  On
idle fragmented pool I've measured scrub getting few percent faster
due to use of QD3 instead of QD2 before.  On idle non-fragmented pool
I've measured no difference.  On busy non-fragmented pool I've measured
scrub time increase about 1.5-1.7x, while IOPS increase reached 5-9x.

Distributed Spare (dRAID) Feature
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)

Abbreviated example `zpool status` output for a 68 disk dRAID pool
with two distributed spares using special allocation classes.

When adding test coverage for the new dRAID vdev type the following
options were added to the ztest command.  These options are leverages
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
    -S <value>            - dRAID distributed hot spares
    -R <value>            - RAID parity (raidz or dRAID)

The zpool_create, zpool_import, redundancy, replacement and fault
test groups have all been updated provide test coverage for the
dRAID feature.

Add device rebuild feature
The device_rebuild feature enables sequential reconstruction when
resilvering.  Mirror vdevs can be rebuilt in LBA order which may
more quickly restore redundancy depending on the pools average block
size, overall fragmentation and the performance characteristics
of the devices.  However, block checksums cannot be verified
as part of the rebuild thus a scrub is automatically started after
the sequential resilver completes.

The new '-s' option has been added to the `zpool attach` and
`zpool replace` command to request sequential reconstruction
instead of healing reconstruction when resilvering.

    zpool attach -s <pool> <existing vdev> <new vdev>
    zpool replace -s <pool> <old vdev> <new vdev>

The `zpool status` output has been updated to report the progress
of sequential resilvering in the same way as healing resilvering.
The one notable difference is that multiple sequential resilvers
may be in progress as long as they're operating on different
top-level vdevs.

The `zpool wait -t resilver` command was extended to wait on
sequential resilvers.  From this perspective they are no different
than healing resilvers.

Sequential resilvers cannot be supported for RAIDZ, but are
compatible with the dRAID feature being developed.

As part of this change the resilver_restart_* tests were moved
in to the functional/replacement directory.  Additionally, the
replacement tests were renamed and extended to verify both
resilvering and rebuilding.

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.

ae5c78e0b1 Move write aggregation memory copy out of vq_lock
Memory copy is too heavy operation to do under the congested lock.
Moving it out reduces congestion by many times to almost invisible.
Since the original zio removed from the queue, and the child zio is
not executed yet, I don't see why would the copy need protection.
My guess it just remained like this from the time when lock was not
dropped here, which was added later to fix lock ordering issue.

Multi-threaded sequential write tests with both HDD and SSD pools
with ZVOL block sizes of 4KB, 16KB, 64KB and 128KB all show major
reduction of lock congestion, saving from 15% to 35% of CPU time
and increasing throughput from 10% to 40%.

Add TRIM support
UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help
prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other
SAN-like storage back-ends.  By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for
sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can
often more efficiently manage itself.

This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize`
feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the
pool.  The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate()
code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per-
vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for
a consistent user experience.  The core difference is that
instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands
for those extents.

The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new
ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq.  This new type makes
is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls
to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c.  These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are
handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs.
This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline,
one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size
limit since they contain no data.

In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background
automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim'
property.  It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the
manual TRIM.  However, instead of relying on the extents in a
metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept
per metaslab.  When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the
ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree.  The
ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim
thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs.

Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small
there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`.  This
may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time
was allowed to aggregate them.  An automatic TRIM and a manual
`zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic
TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

1af240f3b5 Add separate aggregation limit for non-rotating media
Before sequential scrub patches ZFS never aggregated I/Os above 128KB.
Sequential scrub bumped that to 1MB, supposedly to reduce number of
head seeks for spinning disks.  But for SSDs it makes little to no
sense, especially on FreeBSD, where due to MAXPHYS limitation device
will likely still see bunch of 128KB I/Os instead of one large.
Having more strict aggregation limit for SSDs allows to avoid
allocation of large memory buffer and copy to/from it, that is a
serious problem when throughput reaches gigabytes per second.

619f097693 OpenZFS 9102 - zfs should be able to initialize storage devices
PROBLEM
========

The first access to a block incurs a performance penalty on some platforms
(e.g. AWS's EBS, VMware VMDKs). Therefore we recommend that volumes are
"thick provisioned", where supported by the platform (VMware). This can
create a large delay in getting a new virtual machines up and running (or
adding storage to an existing Engine). If the thick provision step is
omitted, write performance will be suboptimal until all blocks on the LUN
have been written.

SOLUTION
=========

This feature introduces a way to 'initialize' the disks at install or in the
background to make sure we don't incur this first read penalty.

When an entire LUN is added to ZFS, we make all space available immediately,
and allow ZFS to find unallocated space and zero it out. This works with
concurrent writes to arbitrary offsets, ensuring that we don't zero out
something that has been (or is in the middle of being) written. This scheme
can also be applied to existing pools (affecting only free regions on the
vdev). Detailed design:
        - new subcommand:zpool initialize [-cs] <pool> [<vdev> ...]
                - start, suspend, or cancel initialization
        - Creates new open-context thread for each vdev
        - Thread iterates through all metaslabs in this vdev
        - Each metaslab:
                - select a metaslab
                - load the metaslab
                - mark the metaslab as being zeroed
                - walk all free ranges within that metaslab and translate
                  them to ranges on the leaf vdev
                - issue a "zeroing" I/O on the leaf vdev that corresponds to
                  a free range on the metaslab we're working on
                - continue until all free ranges for this metaslab have been
                  "zeroed"
                - reset/unmark the metaslab being zeroed
                - if more metaslabs exist, then repeat above tasks.
                - if no more metaslabs, then we're done.

        - progress for the initialization is stored on-disk in the vdev’s
          leaf zap object. The following information is stored:
                - the last offset that has been initialized
                - the state of the initialization process (i.e. active,
                  suspended, or canceled)
                - the start time for the initialization

        - progress is reported via the zpool status command and shows
          information for each of the vdevs that are initializing

Porting notes:
- Added zfs_initialize_value module parameter to set the pattern
  written by "zpool initialize".
- Added zfs_vdev_{initializing,removal}_{min,max}_active module options.

d12614521a Fixes for procfs files backed by linked lists
There are some issues with the way the seq_file interface is implemented
for kstats backed by linked lists (zfs_dbgmsgs and certain per-pool
debugging info):

* We don't account for the fact that seq_file sometimes visits a node
  multiple times, which results in missing messages when read through
  procfs.
* We don't keep separate state for each reader of a file, so concurrent
  readers will receive incorrect results.
* We don't account for the fact that entries may have been removed from
  the list between read syscalls, so reading from these files in procfs
  can cause the system to crash.

This change fixes these issues and adds procfs_list, a wrapper around a
linked list which abstracts away the details of implementing the
seq_file interface for a list and exposing the contents of the list
through procfs.

492f64e941 OpenZFS 9112 - Improve allocation performance on high-end systems
Overview
========

We parallelize the allocation process by creating the concept of
"allocators". There are a certain number of allocators per metaslab
group, defined by the value of a tunable at pool open time.  Each
allocator for a given metaslab group has up to 2 active metaslabs; one
"primary", and one "secondary". The primary and secondary weight mean
the same thing they did in in the pre-allocator world; primary metaslabs
are used for most allocations, secondary metaslabs are used for ditto
blocks being allocated in the same metaslab group.  There is also the
CLAIM weight, which has been separated out from the other weights, but
that is less important to understanding the patch.  The active metaslabs
for each allocator are moved from their normal place in the metaslab
tree for the group to the back of the tree. This way, they will not be
selected for use by other allocators searching for new metaslabs unless
all the passive metaslabs are unsuitable for allocations.  If that does
happen, the allocators will "steal" from each other to ensure that IOs
don't fail until there is truly no space left to perform allocations.

In addition, the alloc queue for each metaslab group has been broken
into a separate queue for each allocator. We don't want to dramatically
increase the number of inflight IOs on low-end systems, because it can
significantly increase txg times. On the other hand, we want to ensure
that there are enough IOs for each allocator to allow for good
coalescing before sending the IOs to the disk.  As a result, we take a
compromise path; each allocator's alloc queue max depth starts at a
certain value for every txg. Every time an IO completes, we increase the
max depth. This should hopefully provide a good balance between the two
failure modes, while not dramatically increasing complexity.

We also parallelize the spa_alloc_tree and spa_alloc_lock, which cause
very similar contention when selecting IOs to allocate. This
parallelization uses the same allocator scheme as metaslab selection.

Performance Results
===================

Performance improvements from this change can vary significantly based
on the number of CPUs in the system, whether or not the system has a
NUMA architecture, the speed of the drives, the values for the various
tunables, and the workload being performed. For an fio async sequential
write workload on a 24 core NUMA system with 256 GB of RAM and 8 128 GB
SSDs, there is a roughly 25% performance improvement.

Future Work
===========

Analysis of the performance of the system with this patch applied shows
that a significant new bottleneck is the vdev disk queues, which also
need to be parallelized.  Prototyping of this change has occurred, and
there was a performance improvement, but more work needs to be done
before its stability has been verified and it is ready to be upstreamed.

OpenZFS 7614 - zfs device evacuation/removal
OpenZFS 9064 - remove_mirror should wait for device removal to complete

This project allows top-level vdevs to be removed from the storage pool
with "zpool remove", reducing the total amount of storage in the pool.
This operation copies all allocated regions of the device to be removed
onto other devices, recording the mapping from old to new location.
After the removal is complete, read and free operations to the removed
(now "indirect") vdev must be remapped and performed at the new location
on disk.  The indirect mapping table is kept in memory whenever the pool
is loaded, so there is minimal performance overhead when doing operations
on the indirect vdev.

The size of the in-memory mapping table will be reduced when its entries
become "obsolete" because they are no longer used by any block pointers
in the pool.  An entry becomes obsolete when all the blocks that use
it are freed.  An entry can also become obsolete when all the snapshots
that reference it are deleted, and the block pointers that reference it
have been "remapped" in all filesystems/zvols (and clones).  Whenever an
indirect block is written, all the block pointers in it will be "remapped"
to their new (concrete) locations if possible.  This process can be
accelerated by using the "zfs remap" command to proactively rewrite all
indirect blocks that reference indirect (removed) vdevs.

Note that when a device is removed, we do not verify the checksum of
the data that is copied.  This makes the process much faster, but if it
were used on redundant vdevs (i.e. mirror or raidz vdevs), it would be
possible to copy the wrong data, when we have the correct data on e.g.
the other side of the mirror.

At the moment, only mirrors and simple top-level vdevs can be removed
and no removal is allowed if any of the top-level vdevs are raidz.

Porting Notes:

* Avoid zero-sized kmem_alloc() in vdev_compact_children().

    The device evacuation code adds a dependency that
    vdev_compact_children() be able to properly empty the vdev_child
    array by setting it to NULL and zeroing vdev_children.  Under Linux,
    kmem_alloc() and related functions return a sentinel pointer rather
    than NULL for zero-sized allocations.

* Remove comment regarding "mpt" driver where zfs_remove_max_segment
  is initialized to SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.

  Change zfs_condense_indirect_commit_entry_delay_ticks to
  zfs_condense_indirect_commit_entry_delay_ms for consistency with
  most other tunables in which delays are specified in ms.

* ZTS changes:

    Use set_tunable rather than mdb
    Use zpool sync as appropriate
    Use sync_pool instead of sync
    Kill jobs during test_removal_with_operation to allow unmount/export
    Don't add non-disk names such as "mirror" or "raidz" to $DISKS
    Use $TEST_BASE_DIR instead of /tmp
    Increase HZ from 100 to 1000 which is more common on Linux

    removal_multiple_indirection.ksh
        Reduce iterations in order to not time out on the code
        coverage builders.

    removal_resume_export:
        Functionally, the test case is correct but there exists a race
        where the kernel thread hasn't been fully started yet and is
        not visible.  Wait for up to 1 second for the removal thread
        to be started before giving up on it.  Also, increase the
        amount of data copied in order that the removal not finish
        before the export has a chance to fail.

* MMP compatibility, the concept of concrete versus non-concrete devices
  has slightly changed the semantics of vdev_writeable().  Update
  mmp_random_leaf_impl() accordingly.

* Updated dbuf_remap() to handle the org.zfsonlinux:large_dnode pool
  feature which is not supported by OpenZFS.

* Added support for new vdev removal tracepoints.

* Test cases removal_with_zdb and removal_condense_export have been
  intentionally disabled.  When run manually they pass as intended,
  but when running in the automated test environment they produce
  unreliable results on the latest Fedora release.

  They may work better once the upstream pool import refectoring is
  merged into ZoL at which point they will be re-enabled.

a8b2e30685 Support re-prioritizing asynchronous prefetches
When sequential scrubs were merged, all calls to arc_read()
(including prefetch IOs) were given ZIO_PRIORITY_ASYNC_READ.
Unfortunately, this behaves badly with an existing issue where
prefetch IOs cannot be re-prioritized after the issue. The
result is that synchronous reads end up in the same vdev_queue
as the scrub IOs and can have (in some workloads) multiple
seconds of latency.

This patch incorporates 2 changes. The first ensures that all
scrub IOs are given ZIO_PRIORITY_SCRUB to allow the vdev_queue
code to differentiate between these I/Os and user prefetches.
Second, this patch introduces zio_change_priority() to provide
the missing capability to upgrade a zio's priority.

d4a72f2386 Sequential scrub and resilvers
Currently, scrubs and resilvers can take an extremely
long time to complete. This is largely due to the fact
that zfs scans process pools in logical order, as
determined by each block's bookmark. This makes sense
from a simplicity perspective, but blocks in zfs are
often scattered randomly across disks, particularly
due to zfs's copy-on-write mechanisms.

This patch improves performance by splitting scrubs
and resilvers into a metadata scanning phase and an IO
issuing phase. The metadata scan reads through the
structure of the pool and gathers an in-memory queue
of I/Os, sorted by size and offset on disk. The issuing
phase will then issue the scrub I/Os as sequentially as
possible, greatly improving performance.

This patch also updates and cleans up some of the scan
code which has not been updated in several years.

RAID-Z requires that space be allocated in multiples of P+1 sectors,
because this is the minimum size block that can have the required amount
of parity.  Thus blocks on RAIDZ1 must be allocated in a multiple of 2
sectors; on RAIDZ2 multiple of 3; and on RAIDZ3 multiple of 4.  A sector
is a unit of 2^ashift bytes, typically 512B or 4KB.

To satisfy this constraint, the allocation size is rounded up to the
proper multiple, resulting in up to 3 "pad sectors" at the end of some
blocks.  The contents of these pad sectors are not used, so we do not
need to read or write these sectors.  However, some storage hardware
performs much worse (around 1/2 as fast) on mostly-contiguous writes
when there are small gaps of non-overwritten data between the writes.
Therefore, ZFS creates "optional" zio's when writing RAID-Z blocks that
include pad sectors.  If writing a pad sector will fill the gap between
two (required) writes, we will issue the optional zio, thus doubling
performance.  The gap-filling performance improvement was introduced in
July 2009.

Writing the optional zio is done by the io aggregation code in
vdev_queue.c.  The problem is that it is also subject to the limit on
the size of aggregate writes, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit, which is by
default 128KB.  For a given block, if the amount of data plus padding
written to a leaf device exceeds zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit, the
optional zio will not be written, resulting in a ~2x performance
degradation.

The problem occurs only for certain values of ashift, compressed block
size, and RAID-Z configuration (number of parity and data disks).  It
cannot occur with the default recordsize=128KB.  If compression is
enabled, all configurations with recordsize=1MB or larger will be
impacted to some degree.

The problem notably occurs with recordsize=1MB, compression=off, with 10
disks in a RAIDZ2 or RAIDZ3 group (with 512B or 4KB sectors).  Therefore
this problem has been known as "the 1MB 10-wide RAIDZ2 (or 3) problem".

The problem also occurs with the following configurations:

With recordsize=512KB or 256KB, compression=off, the problem occurs only
in rarely-used configurations:
* 4-wide RAIDZ1 with recordsize=512KB and ashift=12 (4KB sectors)
* 4-wide RAIDZ2 (either recordsize, either ashift)
* 5-wide RAIDZ2 with recordsize=512KB (either ashift)
* 6-wide RAIDZ2 with recordsize=512KB (either ashift)

With recordsize=1MB, compression=off, ashift=9 (512B sectors)
* RAIDZ1 with 4 or 8 disks
* RAIDZ2 with 4, 8, or 10 disks
* RAIDZ3 with 6, 8, 9, or 10 disks

With recordsize=1MB, compression=off, ashift=12 (4KB sectors)
* RAIDZ1 with 7 or 8 disks
* RAIDZ2 with 4, 5, or 10 disks
* RAIDZ3 with 6, 9, or 10 disks

With recordsize=2MB and larger (which can only be selected by changing
kernel tunables), many configurations are affected, including with
higher numbers of disks (up to 18 disks with recordsize=2MB).

Increase zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit to allow the optional zio to be
aggregated, thus eliminating the problem.  Setting it to 256KB fixes all
commonly-used configurations.

The solution is to aggregate optional zio's regardless of the
aggregation size limit.

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.

b7faa7aabd Fix self-healing IO prior to dsl_pool_init() completion
Async writes triggered by a self-healing IO may be issued before the
pool finishes the process of initialization.  This results in a NULL
dereference of `spa->spa_dsl_pool` in vdev_queue_max_async_writes().

George Wilson recommended addressing this issue by initializing the
passed `dsl_pool_t **` prior to dmu_objset_open_impl().  Since the
caller is passing the `spa->spa_dsl_pool` this has the effect of
ensuring it's initialized.

However, since this depends on the caller knowing they must pass
the `spa->spa_dsl_pool` an additional NULL check was added to
vdev_queue_max_async_writes().  This guards against any future
restructuring of the code which might result in dsl_pool_init()
being called differently.

9f500936c8 FreeBSD r256956: Improve ZFS N-way mirror read performance by using load and locality information.
The existing algorithm selects a preferred leaf vdev based on offset of the zio
request modulo the number of members in the mirror. It assumes the devices are
of equal performance and that spreading the requests randomly over both drives
will be sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the leaf vdevs
being under utilized.

The new algorithm takes into the following additional factors:
* Load of the vdevs (number outstanding I/O requests)
* The locality of last queued I/O vs the new I/O request.

Within the locality calculation additional knowledge about the underlying vdev
is considered such as; is the device backing the vdev a rotating media device.

This results in performance increases across the board as well as significant
increases for predominantly streaming loads and for configurations which don't
have evenly performing devices.

The following are results from a setup with 3 Way Mirror with 2 x HD's and
1 x SSD from a basic test running multiple parrallel dd's.

With pre-fetch disabled (vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1):

== Stripe Balanced (default) ==

== Load Balanced (zfslinux) ==

== Load Balanced (locality freebsd) ==

With pre-fetch enabled (vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0):

== Stripe Balanced (default) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 91 seconds @ 168 MB/s

== Load Balanced (locality freebsd) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 48 seconds @ 320 MB/s

In addition to the performance changes the code was also restructured, with
the help of Justin Gibbs, to provide a more logical flow which also ensures
vdevs loads are only calculated from the set of valid candidates.

The following additional sysctls where added to allow the administrator
to tune the behaviour of the load algorithm:
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_seek_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_seek_offset
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.non_rotating_inc

6fe53787f3 Fix vdev_queue_aggregate() deadlock
This deadlock may manifest itself in slightly different ways but
at the core it is caused by a memory allocation blocking on file-
system reclaim in the zio pipeline.  This is normally impossible
because zio_execute() disables filesystem reclaim by setting
PF_FSTRANS on the thread.  However, kmem cache allocations may
still indirectly block on file system reclaim while holding the
critical vq->vq_lock as shown below.

To resolve this issue zio_buf_alloc_flags() is introduced which
allocation flags to be passed.  This can then be used in
vdev_queue_aggregate() with KM_NOSLEEP when allocating the
aggregate IO buffer.  Since aggregating the IO is purely a
performance optimization we want this to either succeed or fail
quickly.  Trying too hard to allocate this memory under the
vq->vq_lock can negatively impact performance and result in
this deadlock.

Porting Notes:

* Included in this patch is a tiny ISP2() cleanup in zio_init() from
Illumos 5255.

* Unlike the upstream Illumos commit this patch does not impose an
arbitrary 128K block size limit on volumes.  Volumes, like filesystems,
are limited by the zfs_max_recordsize=1M module option.

* By default the maximum record size is limited to 1M by the module
option zfs_max_recordsize.  This value may be safely increased up to
16M which is the largest block size supported by the on-disk format.
At the moment, 1M blocks clearly offer a significant performance
improvement but the benefits of going beyond this for the majority
of workloads are less clear.

* The illumos version of this patch increased DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 32M.
This was determined not to be large enough when using 16M blocks
because the zfs_make_xattrdir() function will fail (EFBIG) when
assigning a TX.  This was immediately observed under Linux because
all newly created files must have a security xattr created and
that was failing.  Therefore, we've set DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 64M.

* On 32-bit platforms a hard limit of 1M is set for blocks due
to the limited virtual address space.  We should be able to relax
this one the ABD patches are merged.

However, these allocations still have the potential to be expensive.
So a potential future optimization might be to perform then KM_NOSLEEP
so that they either succeed of fail quicky.  Either case is acceptable
here because we can safely abort the aggregation.

    (i.e. make vdev_queue_max_async_writes() return a larger number).
    Initially we might just have a tunable for "minimum async writes

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.

  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.
