This brings the behavior of arc_memory_throttle() back in sync with
illumos. The updated memory throttling policy roughly goes like this:
* Never throttle if more than 10% of memory is free. This threshold
is configurable with the zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent module option.
* Minimize any throttling of kswapd even when free memory is below
the set threshold. Allow it to write out pages as quickly as
possible to help alleviate the memory pressure.
* Delay all other threads when free memory is below the set threshold
in order to avoid compounding the memory pressure. Buffers will be
evicted from the ARC to reduce the issue.
The Linux specific zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option has
been removed in favor of the existing zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent tuning.
Setting zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent=0 will have the same effect as
zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable and it was therefore redundant.

While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of
the VM it does provide us total free pages. This information should
be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather
than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim. Conceptually
this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos.
It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable
on a system. While the default values are expected to work well
for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed.
The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose.
zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave
as free memory on the system. This value can
checked in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats and
setting this module option will override the
default value.

Commit d958324 fixed the deadlock between page lock and range lock by
unlocking the page lock before acquiring the range lock. However,
this created a new issue #3075.
The problem is that if we can't set the write back bit before releasing
the page lock. Then other processes will be unaware that the page is
under active write back. They may therefore truncate the page,
invalidate the page, or not honor the sync semantics.
To workaround this problem we re-dirty the page before dropping the
page lock. While this doesn't prevent the page from being truncated
it does ensure it won't be invalidated. Then the range lock and the
page lock are reacquired in the correct deadlock-free order.
Once both locks are safely held the page state can be rechecked. If
all is well and the page is in the expect state the dirty bit can be
removed, the write back bit set, and the page removed from the skip
count. If not the page will be handled as appropriate.

Note that under Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted
with respect to illumos. High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority
while high value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.
In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.

Porting Notes:
The good news is that many of the recent changes made upstream to the
ARC tackled issues previously observed by ZoL with similar solutions.
The bad news is those solution weren't identical to the ones we applied.
This patch is designed to split the difference and apply as much of the
upstream work as possible.
* The arc_available_memory() function was removed previous in ZoL but
due to the upstream changes it makes sense to add it back. This function
has been customized for Linux so that it can be used to determine a low
memory. This provides the same basic functionality as the illumos version
allowing us to minimize changes through the rest of the code base. The
exact mechanism used to detect a low memory state remains unchanged so
this change isn't a significant as it might first appear.
* This patch includes the long standing fix for arc_shrink() which was
originally proposed in #2167. Since there were related changes to this
function it made sense to include that work.
* The arc_init() function has been re-factored. As before it sets sane
default values for the ARC but then calls arc_tuning_update() to apply
user specific tuning made via module options. The arc_tuning_update()
function is then called periodically by the arc_reclaim_thread() to
apply changes to the tunings made during normal operation.

When an inode is detected with invalid mode bits the safe thing to
do is panic the system. This indicates a problem with the contents
of a dnode and it should never be possible. This is the default
behavior.
Unfortunately, due to flaws in the system attribute (SA) implementation
(on all platforms) it was possible that ZFS could create a damaged dnode.
This was a rare issue which only impacted dnodes which used a spill
block. Normally only symlinks and files with ACLs would require a
spill block. However, if the dataset had the xattr=sa property set
and extended attributes were used this problem could occur.
As of the 0.6.4 tag the root cause of this issue has been fixed. For
pools which are exhibiting this damage the 'zfs_recover=1' module option
may be set. This will cause ZFS to interpret the dnode with invalid
mode bits as a normal file. This may allow the files to be accessed
for recovery purposes.

Build products from an out of tree build should be written
relative to the build directory. Sources should be referred
to by their locations in the source directory.
This is accomplished by adding the 'src' and 'obj' variables

source files, and by setting VPATH when source files are not
co-located with the Makefile. This enables the following:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure \
--with-spl=$HOME/src/git/spl/ \
--with-spl-obj=$HOME/src/git/spl/build
$ make -s

As of Linux 4.2 the kernel has completely retired the nameidata
structure. One of the few remaining consumers of this interface
were the follow_link() and put_link() callbacks.
This patch adds the required checks to configure to detect the
interface change and updates the functions accordingly. Migrating
to the simple_follow_link() interface was considered but was decided
against ironically due to the increased complexity.
It also should be noted that the kernel follow_link() and put_link()
interfaces changes several times after 4.1 and but before 4.2. This
means there is a narrow range of kernel commits which never appear

Here the 130,197 is the partition created on the log device when adding it
to the pool, whereas the base device is 130,96. As one can see, the writes
to the SLOG are not marked synchronous (the S is missing next to W), and
the queue unplugs occur based on the timer (UT event) resulting in slightly
over 2 msec latency of writes. This results in a sub-par performance of
single stream synchronous writes (limited by latency of the SLOG).
When the WRITE_SYNC is set, a similar trace looks as follows:

As one can see, all the writes are synchronous (WS), and I/O completions
(e.g. from issue I to completion C) take 160-250 usec, or about 10x faster.
Since WRITE_SYNC or READ_SYNC flags are among several factors that are
considered when processing bio requests, it seems prudent to mark all the
zio requests of synchronous priority with the READ/WRITE_SYNC flags to make
them eligible for consideration as such by the Linux block I/O layer.

Over the years the default values for the taskqs used on Linux have
differed slightly from illumos. In the vast majority of cases this
was done to avoid creating an obnoxious number of idle threads which
would pollute the process listing.
With the addition of support for dynamic taskqs all multi-threaded
queues should be created as dynamic taskqs. This allows us to get
the best of both worlds.
* The illumos default values for the I/O pipeline can be restored.
These values are known to work well for most workloads. The only
exception is the zio write interrupt taskq which is changed to
ZTI_P(12, 8). At least under Linux more threads has been shown
to improve performance, see commit 7e55f4e.
* Reduces the number of idle threads on the system when it's not
under heavy load. The maximum number of threads will only be
created when they are required.
* Remove the vdev_file_taskq and rely on the system_taskq instead
which is now dynamic and may have up to 64-threads. Again this
brings us back inline with upstream.
* Tasks dispatched with taskq_dispatch_ent() are allowed to use
dynamic taskqs. The Linux taskq implementation supports this.

If we don't account for that, then we might end up overwriting disk
area of buffers that have not been evicted yet, because l2arc_evict
operates in terms of disk addresses.
The discrepancy between the write size calculation and the actual
increment to l2ad_hand was introduced in commit 3a17a7a9.
The change that introduced l2ad_hand alignment was almost correct
as the write size was accumulated as a sum of rounded buffer sizes.
See commit illumos/illumos-gate@e14bb32.
Also, we now consistently use asize / a_sz for the allocated size and
psize / p_sz for the physical size. The latter accounts for a
possible size reduction because of the compression, whereas the
former accounts for a possible subsequent size expansion because of
the alignment requirements.
The code still assumes that either underlying storage subsystems or
hardware is able to do read-modify-write when an L2ARC buffer size is
not a multiple of a disk's block size. This is true for 4KB sector disks
that provide 512B sector emulation, but may not be true in general.
In other words, we currently do not have any code to make sure that
an L2ARC buffer, whether compressed or not, which is used for physical
I/O has a suitable size.
Note that currently the cache device utilization is calculated based
on the physical size, not the allocated size. The same applies to
l2_asize kstat. That is wrong, but this commit does not fix that.
The accounting problem was introduced partially in commit 3a17a7a9
and partially in 3038a2b (accounting became consistent but in favour
of the wrong size).
Porting Notes:
Reworked to be C90 compatible and the 'write_psize' variable was
removed because it is now unused.

Unit testing at ClusterHQ found that passing an invalid file handle to
zfs_ioc_hold results in a NULL pointer dereference on a system without
assertions:
IP: [<ffffffffa0218aa0>] zfsdev_getminor+0x10/0x20 [zfs]
Call Trace:
[<ffffffffa021b4b0>] zfs_onexit_fd_hold+0x20/0x40 [zfs]

[<ffffffffa0215890>] zfsdev_ioctl+0x200/0x500 [zfs]
An assertion would have caught this had they been enabled, but this is
something that the kernel module should handle without failing. We
resolve this by searching the linked list to ensure that the file
handle's private_data points to a valid zfsdev_state_t.

This seems generally useful. metaslab_aliquot is the ZFS allocation
granularity, which is roughly equivalent to what is called the stripe
size in traditional RAID arrays. It seems relevant to performance
tuning.

The metaslab allocator device selection algorithm contains a bias
mechanism whose goal is to achieve roughly equal disk space usage across
all top-level vdevs.
It seems that the initial rationale for this code was to allow newly
added (empty) vdevs to "come up to speed" faster in an attempt to make
the pool quickly converge to a steady state where all vdevs are equally
utilized.
While the code seems to work reasonably well for this use case, there
is another scenario in which this algorithm fails miserably: the case
where top-level vdevs don't have the same sizes (capacities). ZFS
allows this, and it is a good feature to have, so that users who simply
want to build a pool with the disks they happen to have lying around can
do so even if the disks have heteregenous sizes.
Here's a script that simulates a pool with two vdevs, with one 4X larger
than the other:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/d1 bs=1 count=1 seek=134217728
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/d2 bs=1 count=1 seek=536870912
zpool create testspace /tmp/d1 /tmp/d2
dd if=/dev/zero of=/testspace/foobar bs=1M count=256
zpool iostat -v testspace
Before this commit, the script would output the following:
capacity
pool alloc free
---------- ----- -----
testspace 252M 375M
/tmp/d1 104M 18.5M
/tmp/d2 148M 356M
---------- ----- -----
This demonstrates that the current code handles this situation very
poorly: d1 shows 85% usage despite the pool itself being only 40% full.
d1 is quite saturated at this point, and is slowing down the entire pool
due to saturation, fragmentation and the like.
In contrast, here's the result with the code in this commit:
capacity
pool alloc free
---------- ----- -----
testspace 252M 375M
/tmp/d1 56.7M 66.3M
/tmp/d2 195M 309M
---------- ----- ------
This looks much better. d1 is 46% used, which is close to the overall
pool utilization (40%). The code still doesn't result in perfectly
balanced allocation, probably because of the way mg_bias is applied
which does not guarantee perfect accuracy, but this is still much better
than before.

For kernels which do not implement a per-suberblock shrinker,
those older than Linux 3.1, the shrink_dcache_parent() function
was used to attempt to reclaim dentries. This was found not be
entirely reliable and could lead to performance issues on older
kernels running meta-data heavy workloads.
To address this issue a zfs_sb_prune_aliases() function has been
added to implement this functionality. It relies on traversing
the list of znodes for a filesystem and adding them to a private
list with a reference held. The private list can then be safely
walked outside the z_znodes_lock to prune dentires and drop the
last reference so the inode can be freed.
This provides the same synchronous behavior as the per-filesystem
shrinker and has the advantage of depending on only long standing
interfaces.

The number of threads in the iput taskq has been increased to speed
up the number of iputs which can be handled. This has been observed
to improve the meta data reclaim regardless of zfs_sb_prune()
implementation in use.
The taskq has also been renamed z_iput to for consistency with the
rest of the I/O pipeline taskqs which are all named z_*.

Linux 3.15 commit torvalds/linux@293bc98 introduced two new methods.
The ->read_iter() and ->write_iter() methods were designed to replace
the ->aio_read() and ->aio_write() interfaces. Both interfaces were
preserved for several kernel releases in order to migrate all existing
consumers to the new interfaces. But as of Linux 4.1 the legacy
interface has been retired and the ZFS code must be updated to use
the new interfaces.

The Linux kernel watchdog will automatically dump a backtrace for
any process while sleeps for over 120s in an uninterruptible state.
The solution is for the prefetch thread to sleep in an interruptible
state. The way the existing code was written this is safe because
when woken it will always reevaluate its conditional. As a general
rule it is preferable to sleep in an interruptible when possible.
