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.

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.

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.

For each WRITE record in the stream, `zfs receive` creates a DMU
transaction (`dmu_tx_create()`) and writes this block's data into the
object. If per-block overheads (as opposed to per-byte overheads)
dominate performance (as is often the case with small recordsize), the
per-dmu-transaction overheads can be significant. For example, in some
workloads the `receieve_writer` thread is 100% on CPU, and more than
half of its CPU time is in these per-tx routines (e.g.
dmu_tx_hold_write, dmu_tx_assign, dmu_tx_commit).
To improve performance of `zfs receive`, this commit batches WRITE
records which are to nearby offsets of the same object, and uses one DMU
transaction to write them all. By default the batch size is 1MB, which
for recordsize=8K reduces the number of DMU transactions by 128x for
full send streams (incrementals will depend on how "clumpy" the changed
blocks are).
This commit improves the performance of `dd if=stream | zfs recv`
from 78,800 blocks/sec to 98,100 blocks/sec (25% improvement).

The module parameter zfs_async_block_max_blocks limits the number of
blocks that can be freed by the background freeing of filesystems and
snapshots (from "zfs destroy"), in one TXG. This is useful when freeing
dedup blocks, becuase each zio_free() of a dedup block can require an
i/o to read the relevant part of the dedup table (DDT), and will also
dirty that block.
zfs_async_block_max_blocks is set to 100,000 by default. For the more
typical case where dedup is not used, this can have a negative
performance impact on the rate of background freeing (from "zfs
destroy"). For example, with recordsize=8k, and TXG's syncing once
every 5 seconds, we can free only 160MB of data per second, which may be
much less than the rate we can write data.
This change increases zfs_async_block_max_blocks to be unlimited by
default. To address the dedup freeing issue, a new tunable is
introduced, zfs_max_async_dedup_frees, which limits the number of
zio_free()'s of dedup blocks done by background destroys, per txg. The
default is 100,000 free's (same as the old zfs_async_block_max_blocks
default).

Originally the zfs_vdev_elevator module option was added as a
convenience so the requested elevator would be automatically set
on the underlying block devices. At the time this was simple
because the kernel provided an API function which did exactly this.
This API was then removed in the Linux 4.12 kernel which prompted
us to add compatibly code to set the elevator via a usermodehelper.
While well intentioned this introduced a bug which could cause a
system hang, that issue was subsequently fixed by commit 2a0d4188.
In order to avoid future bugs in this area, and to simplify the code,
this functionality is being deprecated. A console warning has been
added to notify any existing consumers and the documentation updated
accordingly. This option will remain for the lifetime of the 0.8.x
series for compatibility but if planned to be phased out of master.

Issue #8664Closes#9317
Currently the best way to wait for the completion of a long-running
operation in a pool, like a scrub or device removal, is to poll 'zpool
status' and parse its output, which is neither efficient nor convenient.
This change adds a 'wait' subcommand to the zpool command. When invoked,
'zpool wait' will block until a specified type of background activity
completes. Currently, this subcommand can wait for any of the following:
- Scrubs or resilvers to complete
- Devices to initialized
- Devices to be replaced
- Devices to be removed
- Checkpoints to be discarded
- Background freeing to complete
For example, a scrub that is in progress could be waited for by running
zpool wait -t scrub <pool>
This also adds a -w flag to the attach, checkpoint, initialize, replace,
remove, and scrub subcommands. When used, this flag makes the operations
kicked off by these subcommands synchronous instead of asynchronous.
This functionality is implemented using a new ioctl. The type of
activity to wait for is provided as input to the ioctl, and the ioctl
blocks until all activity of that type has completed. An ioctl was used
over other methods of kernel-userspace communiction primarily for the
sake of portability.
Porting Notes:
This is ported from Delphix OS change DLPX-44432. The following changes
were made while porting:
- Added ZoL-style ioctl input declaration.
- Reorganized error handling in zpool_initialize in libzfs to integrate
better with changes made for TRIM support.
- Fixed check for whether a checkpoint discard is in progress.
Previously it also waited if the pool had a checkpoint, instead of
just if a checkpoint was being discarded.
- Exposed zfs_initialize_chunk_size as a ZoL-style tunable.
- Updated more existing tests to make use of new 'zpool wait'
functionality, tests that don't exist in Delphix OS.
- Used existing ZoL tunable zfs_scan_suspend_progress, together with
zinject, in place of a new tunable zfs_scan_max_blks_per_txg.
- Added support for a non-integral interval argument to zpool wait.
Future work:
ZoL has support for trimming devices, which Delphix OS does not. In the
future, 'zpool wait' could be extended to add the ability to wait for
trim operations to complete.

With the other metaslab changes loaded onto a system, we can
significantly reduce the memory usage of each loaded metaslab and
unload them on demand if there is memory pressure. However, none
of those changes actually result in us keeping more metaslabs loaded.
If we don't keep more metaslabs loaded, we will still have to wait
for demand-loading to finish when no loaded metaslab can satisfy our
allocation, which can cause ZIL performance issues. In addition,
performance is traditionally measured by IOs per unit time, while
unloading is currently done on a txg-count basis. Txgs can take a
widely varying range of times, from tenths of a second to several
seconds. This can result in confusing, hard to predict behavior.
This change simply adds a time-based component to metaslab unloading.
A metaslab will remain loaded for one minute and 8 txgs (by default)
after it was last used, unless it is evicted due to memory pressure.

On systems with large amounts of storage and high fragmentation, a huge
amount of space can be used by storing metaslab range trees. Since
metaslabs are only unloaded during a txg sync, and only if they have
been inactive for 8 txgs, it is possible to get into a state where all
of the system's memory is consumed by range trees and metaslabs, and
txgs cannot sync. While ZFS knows how to evict ARC data when needed,
it has no such mechanism for range tree data. This can result in boot
hangs for some system configurations.
First, we add the ability to unload metaslabs outside of syncing
context. Second, we store a multilist of all loaded metaslabs, sorted
by their selection txg, so we can quickly identify the oldest
metaslabs. We use a multilist to reduce lock contention during heavy
write workloads. Finally, we add logic that will unload a metaslab
when we're loading a new metaslab, if we're using more than a certain
fraction of the available memory on range trees.

When a pool is imported it will scan the pool to verify the integrity

To prevent this, we limit the amount of memory that the initial pool
scan can consume. This change will, by default, use 1/16th of the ARC

When we unload metaslabs today in ZFS, the cached max_size value is
discarded. We instead use the histogram to determine whether or not we
think we can satisfy an allocation from the metaslab. This can result in
situations where, if we're doing I/Os of a size not aligned to a
histogram bucket, a metaslab is loaded even though it cannot satisfy the
allocation we think it can. For example, a metaslab with 16 entries in
the 16k-32k bucket may have entirely 16kB entries. If we try to allocate
a 24kB buffer, we will load that metaslab because we think it should be
able to handle the allocation. Doing so is expensive in CPU time, disk
reads, and average IO latency. This is exacerbated if the write being
attempted is a sync write.
This change makes ZFS cache the max_size after the metaslab is
unloaded. If we ever get a free (or a coalesced group of frees) larger
than the max_size, we will update it. Otherwise, we leave it as is. When
attempting to allocate, we use the max_size as a lower bound, and
respect it unless we are in try_hard. However, we do age the max_size
out at some point, since we expect the actual max_size to increase as we
do more frees. A more sophisticated algorithm here might be helpful, but
this works reasonably well.

= Motivation
At Delphix we've seen a lot of customer systems where fragmentation
is over 75% and random writes take a performance hit because a lot
of time is spend on I/Os that update on-disk space accounting metadata.
Specifically, we seen cases where 20% to 40% of sync time is spend
after sync pass 1 and ~30% of the I/Os on the system is spent updating
spacemaps.
The problem is that these pools have existed long enough that we've
touched almost every metaslab at least once, and random writes
scatter frees across all metaslabs every TXG, thus appending to
their spacemaps and resulting in many I/Os. To give an example,
assuming that every VDEV has 200 metaslabs and our writes fit within
a single spacemap block (generally 4K) we have 200 I/Os. Then if we
assume 2 levels of indirection, we need 400 additional I/Os and
since we are talking about metadata for which we keep 2 extra copies
for redundancy we need to triple that number, leading to a total of
1800 I/Os per VDEV every TXG.
We could try and decrease the number of metaslabs so we have less
I/Os per TXG but then each metaslab would cover a wider range on
disk and thus would take more time to be loaded in memory from disk.
In addition, after it's loaded, it's range tree would consume more
memory.
Another idea would be to just increase the spacemap block size
which would allow us to fit more entries within an I/O block
resulting in fewer I/Os per metaslab and a speedup in loading time.
The problem is still that we don't deal with the number of I/Os
going up as the number of metaslabs is increasing and the fact
is that we generally write a lot to a few metaslabs and a little
to the rest of them. Thus, just increasing the block size would
actually waste bandwidth because we won't be utilizing our bigger
block size.
= About this patch
This patch introduces the Log Spacemap project which provides the
solution to the above problem while taking into account all the
aforementioned tradeoffs. The details on how it achieves that can
be found in the references sections below and in the code (see
Big Theory Statement in spa_log_spacemap.c).
Even though the change is fairly constraint within the metaslab
and lower-level SPA codepaths, there is a side-change that is
user-facing. The change is that VDEV IDs from VDEV holes will no
longer be reused. To give some background and reasoning for this,
when a log device is removed and its VDEV structure was replaced
with a hole (or was compacted; if at the end of the vdev array),
its vdev_id could be reused by devices added after that. Now
with the pool-wide space maps recording the vdev ID, this behavior
can cause problems (e.g. is this entry referring to a segment in
the new vdev or the removed log?). Thus, to simplify things the
ID reuse behavior is gone and now vdev IDs for top-level vdevs
are truly unique within a pool.
= Testing
The illumos implementation of this feature has been used internally
for a year and has been in production for ~6 months. For this patch
specifically there don't seem to be any regressions introduced to
ZTS and I have been running zloop for a week without any related
problems.
= Performance Analysis (Linux Specific)
All performance results and analysis for illumos can be found in
the links of the references. Redoing the same experiments in Linux
gave similar results. Below are the specifics of the Linux run.
After the pool reached stable state the percentage of the time
spent in pass 1 per TXG was 64% on average for the stock bits
while the log spacemap bits stayed at 95% during the experiment
(graph: sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/PercOfSyncInPassOne.png).
Sync times per TXG were 37.6 seconds on average for the stock
bits and 22.7 seconds for the log spacemap bits (related graph:
sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/SyncTimePerTXG.png). As a result
the log spacemap bits were able to push more TXGs, which is also
the reason why all graphs quantified per TXG have more entries for
the log spacemap bits.
Another interesting aspect in terms of txg syncs is that the stock
bits had 22% of their TXGs reach sync pass 7, 55% reach sync pass 8,
and 20% reach 9. The log space map bits reached sync pass 4 in 79%
of their TXGs, sync pass 7 in 19%, and sync pass 8 at 1%. This
emphasizes the fact that not only we spend less time on metadata
but we also iterate less times to convergence in spa_sync() dirtying
objects.

Finally, the improvement in IOPs that the userland gains from the
change is approximately 40%. There is a consistent win in IOPS as
you can see from the graphs below but the absolute amount of
improvement that the log spacemap gives varies within each minute
interval.

Redacted send/receive allows users to send subsets of their data to
a target system. One possible use case for this feature is to not
transmit sensitive information to a data warehousing, test/dev, or
analytics environment. Another is to save space by not replicating
unimportant data within a given dataset, for example in backup tools
like zrepl.
Redacted send/receive is a three-stage process. First, a clone (or
clones) is made of the snapshot to be sent to the target. In this
clone (or clones), all unnecessary or unwanted data is removed or
modified. This clone is then snapshotted to create the "redaction
snapshot" (or snapshots). Second, the new zfs redact command is used
to create a redaction bookmark. The redaction bookmark stores the
list of blocks in a snapshot that were modified by the redaction
snapshot(s). Finally, the redaction bookmark is passed as a parameter
to zfs send. When sending to the snapshot that was redacted, the
redaction bookmark is used to filter out blocks that contain sensitive
or unwanted information, and those blocks are not included in the send
stream. When sending from the redaction bookmark, the blocks it
contains are considered as candidate blocks in addition to those
blocks in the destination snapshot that were modified since the
creation_txg of the redaction bookmark. This step is necessary to
allow the target to rehydrate data in the case where some blocks are
accidentally or unnecessarily modified in the redaction snapshot.
The changes to bookmarks to enable fast space estimation involve
adding deadlists to bookmarks. There is also logic to manage the
life cycles of these deadlists.
The new size estimation process operates in cases where previously
an accurate estimate could not be provided. In those cases, a send
is performed where no data blocks are read, reducing the runtime
significantly and providing a byte-accurate size estimate.

If the zfs_remove_max_segment tunable is changed to be not a multiple of
the sector size, then the device removal code will malfunction and try
to create mappings that are smaller than one sector, leading to a panic.
On debug bits this assertion will fail in spa_vdev_copy_segment():
ASSERT3U(DVA_GET_ASIZE(&dst), ==, size);
On nondebug, the system panics with a stack like:
metaslab_free_concrete()
metaslab_free_impl()
metaslab_free_impl_cb()
vdev_indirect_remap()
free_from_removing_vdev()
metaslab_free_impl()
metaslab_free_dva()
metaslab_free()
Fortunately, the default for zfs_remove_max_segment is 1MB, so this
can't occur by default. We hit it during this test because
removal_remap.ksh changes zfs_remove_max_segment to 1KB. When testing on
4KB-sector disks, we hit the bug.
This change makes the zfs_remove_max_segment tunable more robust,
automatically rounding it up to a multiple of the sector size. We also
turn some key assertions into VERIFY's so that similar bugs would be
caught before they are encoded on disk (and thus avoid a
panic-reboot-loop).

Starting in sync pass 5 (zfs_sync_pass_dont_compress), we disable
compression (including of metadata). Ostensibly this helps the sync
passes to converge (i.e. for a sync pass to not need to allocate
anything because it is 100% overwrites).
However, in practice it increases the average number of sync passes,
because when we turn compression off, a lot of block's size will change
and thus we have to re-allocate (not overwrite) them. It also increases
the number of 128KB allocations (e.g. for indirect blocks and spacemaps)
because these will not be compressed. The 128K allocations are
especially detrimental to performance on highly fragmented systems,
which may have very few free segments of this size, and may need to load
new metaslabs to satisfy 128K allocations.
We should increase zfs_sync_pass_dont_compress. In practice on a highly
fragmented system we see a few 5-pass txg's, a tiny number of 6-pass
txg's, and no txg's with more than 6 passes.

On fragmented pools with high-performance storage, the looping in
metaslab_block_picker() can become the performance-limiting bottleneck.
When looking for a larger block (e.g. a 128K block for the ZIL), we may
search through many free segments (up to hundreds of thousands) to find
one that is large enough to satisfy the allocation. This can take a long
time (up to dozens of ms), and is done while holding the ms_lock, which
other threads may spin waiting for.
When this performance problem is encountered, profiling will show
high CPU time in metaslab_block_picker, as well as in mutex_enter from
various callers.
The problem is very evident on a test system with a sync write workload
with 8K writes to a recordsize=8k filesystem, with 4TB of SSD storage,
84% full and 88% fragmented. It has also been observed on production
systems with 90TB of storage, 76% full and 87% fragmented.
The fix is to change metaslab_df_alloc() to search only up to 16MB from
the previous allocation (of this alignment). After that, we will pick a
segment that is of the exact size requested (or larger). This reduces
the number of iterations to a few hundred on fragmented pools (a ~100x
improvement).

When iterating over a ZAP object, we're almost always certain to iterate
over the entire object. If there are multiple leaf blocks, we can
realize a performance win by issuing reads for all the leaf blocks in
parallel when the iteration begins.
For example, if we have 10,000 snapshots, "zfs destroy -nv
pool/fs@1%9999" can take 30 minutes when the cache is cold. This change
provides a >3x performance improvement, by issuing the reads for all ~64
blocks of each ZAP object in parallel.

We've observed that on some highly fragmented pools, most metaslab
allocations are small (~2-8KB), but there are some large, 128K
allocations. The large allocations are for ZIL blocks. If there is a
lot of fragmentation, the large allocations can be hard to satisfy.
The most common impact of this is that we need to check (and thus load)
lots of metaslabs from the ZIL allocation code path, causing sync writes
to wait for metaslabs to load, which can take a second or more. In the
worst case, we may not be able to satisfy the allocation, in which case
the ZIL will resort to txg_wait_synced() to ensure the change is on
disk.
To provide a workaround for this, this change adds a tunable that can
reduce the size of ZIL blocks.

Historically while doing performance testing we've noticed that IOPS
can be significantly reduced when all vdevs in the pool are hitting
the zfs_mg_fragmentation_threshold percentage. Specifically in a
hypothetical pool with two vdevs, what can happen is the following:
Vdev A would go above that threshold and only vdev B would be used.
Then vdev B would pass that threshold but vdev A would go below it
(we've been freeing from A to allocate to B). The allocations would
go back and forth utilizing one vdev at a time with IOPS taking a hit.
Empirically, we've seen that our vdev selection for allocations is
good enough that fragmentation increases uniformly across all vdevs
the majority of the time. Thus we set the threshold percentage high
enough to avoid hitting the speed bump on pools that are being pushed
to the edge. We effectively disable its effect in the majority of the
cases but we don't remove (at least for now) just in case we hit any
weird behavior in the future.

When receiving a DRR_OBJECT record the receive_object() function
needs to determine how to handle a spill block associated with the
object. It may need to be removed or kept depending on how the
object was modified at the source.
This determination is currently accomplished using a heuristic which
takes in to account the DRR_OBJECT record and the existing object
properties. This is a problem because there isn't quite enough
information available to do the right thing under all circumstances.
For example, when only the block size changes the spill block is
removed when it should be kept.
What's needed to resolve this is an additional flag in the DRR_OBJECT
which indicates if the object being received references a spill block.
The DRR_OBJECT_SPILL flag was added for this purpose. When set then
the object references a spill block and it must be kept. Either
it is update to date, or it will be replaced by a subsequent DRR_SPILL
record. Conversely, if the object being received doesn't reference
a spill block then any existing spill block should always be removed.
Since previous versions of ZFS do not understand this new flag
additional DRR_SPILL records will be inserted in to the stream.
This has the advantage of being fully backward compatible. Existing
ZFS systems receiving this stream will recreate the spill block if
it was incorrectly removed. Updated ZFS versions will correctly
ignore the additional spill blocks which can be identified by
checking for the DRR_SPILL_UNMODIFIED flag.
The small downside to this approach is that is may increase the size
of the stream and of the received snapshot on previous versions of
ZFS. Additionally, when receiving streams generated by previous
unpatched versions of ZFS spill blocks may still be lost.

zfs.8 correctly said that GRUB did not support them, but
zpool-features.5 said that "Booting off pools...is supported." Now,
zpool-features.5 discusses GRUB specifically and indicates its lack of
support for these features. Also, I have clarified the wording in both
places to indicate that the pool feature cannot be used. It's not a
filesystem dataset thing, but pool-wide.
I described this as "cannot be used". I think technically the feature
can be enabled, just not active. However, the effect is essentially the
same: you cannot enable those checksum algorithms on any dataset in the
pool, so you might as well not enable the feature (which is just
pointing a loaded gun at your foot). In the past, an argument could be
made that having all the features enabled was useful for simplicity, as
long as you didn't activate the GRUB-incompatible features, but that's
getting less and less realistic over time. A user can still do that,
but we should not encourage that.
