Closes#13518
In current zil_commit() process, transaction lwb_tx is assigned in
zil_lwb_write_issue(), and is committed in zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done().
Thus, during lwb write out process, the txg is held in open or quiesing
state, until zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done() is called. If the zil's zio
latency is high, it will cause txg_sync_thread() to starve.
The goal here is to defer waiting for zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done to the
'syncing' txg state. That is, in zil_sync().
In this patch, it achieves the goal without holding transaction.
A new function zil_lwb_flush_wait_all() is introduced. It waits for
the completion of all the zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done() by given txg.

Closes#12996
As such, there are no specific synchronous semantics defined for
the xattrs. But for xattr=on, it does log to ZIL and zil_commit() is
done, if sync=always is set on dataset. This provides sync semantics
for xattr=on with sync=always set on dataset.
For the xattr=sa implementation, it doesn't log to ZIL, so, even with
sync=always, xattrs are not guaranteed to be synced before xattr call
returns to caller. So, xattr can be lost if system crash happens, before
txg carrying xattr transaction is synced.
This change adds xattr=sa logging to ZIL on xattr create/remove/update
and xattrs are synced to ZIL (zil_commit() done) for sync=always.
This makes xattr=sa behavior similar to xattr=on.
Implementation notes:
The actual logging is fairly straight-forward and does not warrant
additional explanation.
However, it has been 14 years since we last added new TX types
to the ZIL [1], hence this is the first time we do it after the
introduction of zpool features. Therefore, here is an overview of the
feature activation and deactivation workflow:
1. The feature must be enabled. Otherwise, we don't log the new
record type. This ensures compatibility with older software.
2. The feature is activated per-dataset, since the ZIL is per-dataset.
3. If the feature is enabled and dataset is not for zvol, any append to
the ZIL chain will activate the feature for the dataset. Likewise
for starting a new ZIL chain.
4. A dataset that doesn't have a ZIL chain has the feature deactivated.
We ensure (3) by activating on the first zil_commit() after the feature
was enabled. Since activating the features requires waiting for txg
sync, the first zil_commit() after enabling the feature will be slower
than usual. The downside is that this is really a conservative
approximation: even if we never append a 'TX_SETSAXATTR' to the ZIL
chain, we pay the penalty for feature activation. The upside is that the
user is in control of when we pay the penalty, i.e., upon enabling the
feature.
We ensure (4) by hooking into zil_sync(), where ZIL destroy actually
happens.
One more piece on feature activation, since it's spread across
multiple functions:
zil_commit()
zil_process_commit_list()
if lwb == NULL // first zil_commit since zil_open
zil_create()
if no log block pointer in ZIL header:
if feature enabled and not active:
// CASE 1
enable, COALESCE txg wait with dmu_tx that allocated the
log block
else // log block was allocated earlier than this zil_open
if feature enabled and not active:
// CASE 2
enable, EXPLICIT txg wait
else // already have an in-DRAM LWB
if feature enabled and not active:
// this happens when we enable the feature after zil_create
// CASE 3
enable, EXPLICIT txg wait

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()`.

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.

Before my ZIL space optimization few years ago 128KB writes were logged
as two 64KB+ records in two 128KB log blocks. After that change it
became ~127KB+/1KB+ in two 128KB log blocks to free space in the second
block for another record. Unfortunately in case of 128KB only writes,
when space in the second block remained unused, that change increased
write latency by unbalancing checksum computation and write times
between parallel threads. It also didn't help with SLOG space
efficiency in that case.
This change introduces new 68KB log block size, used for both writes
below 67KB and 128KB-sharp writes. Writes of 68-127KB are still using
one 128KB block to not increase processing overhead. Writes above
131KB are still using full 128KB blocks, since possible saving there
is small. Mixed loads will likely also fall back to previous 128KB,
since code uses maximum of the last 16 requested block sizes.

This change modifies some of the infrastructure for enabling the use of
the DTRACE_PROBE* macros, such that we can use tehm in the "spl" module.
Currently, when the DTRACE_PROBE* macros are used, they get expanded to
create new functions, and these dynamically generated functions become
part of the "zfs" module.
Since the "spl" module does not depend on the "zfs" module, the use of
DTRACE_PROBE* in the "spl" module would result in undefined symbols
being used in the "spl" module. Specifically, DTRACE_PROBE* would turn
into a function call, and the function being called would be a symbol
only contained in the "zfs" module; which results in a linker and/or
runtime error.
Thus, this change adds the necessary logic to the "spl" module, to
mirror the tracing functionality available to the "zfs" module. After
this change, we'll have a "trace_zfs.h" header file which defines the
probes available only to the "zfs" module, and a "trace_spl.h" header
file which defines the probes available only to the "spl" module.

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.

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.

As a result of the changes made in 8585, it's possible for an excessive
amount of vdev flush commands to be issued under some workloads.
Specifically, when the workload consists of mostly async write activity,
interspersed with some sync write and/or fsync activity, we can end up
issuing more flush commands to the underlying storage than is actually
necessary. As a result of these flush commands, the write latency and
overall throughput of the pool can be poorly impacted (latency
increases, throughput decreases).
Currently, any time an lwb completes, the vdev(s) written to as a result
of that lwb will be issued a flush command. The intenion is so the data
written to that vdev is on stable storage, prior to communicating to any
waiting threads that their data is safe on disk.
The problem with this scheme, is that sometimes an lwb will not have any
threads waiting for it to complete. This can occur when there's async
activity that gets "converted" to sync requests, as a result of calling
the zil_async_to_sync() function via zil_commit_impl(). When this
occurs, the current code may issue many lwbs that don't have waiters
associated with them, resulting in many flush commands, potentially to
the same vdev(s).
For example, given a pool with a single vdev, and a single fsync() call
that results in 10 lwbs being written out (e.g. due to other async
writes), that will result in 10 flush commands to that single vdev (a
flush issued after each lwb write completes). Ideally, we'd only issue a
single flush command to that vdev, after all 10 lwb writes completed.
Further, and most important as it pertains to this change, since the
flush commands are often very impactful to the performance of the pool's
underlying storage, unnecessarily issuing these flush commands can
poorly impact the performance of the lwb writes themselves. Thus, we
need to avoid issuing flush commands when possible, in order to acheive
the best possible performance out of the pool's underlying storage.
This change attempts to address this problem by changing the ZIL's logic
to only issue a vdev flush command when it detects an lwb that has a
thread waiting for it to complete. When an lwb does not have threads
waiting for it, the responsibility of issuing the flush command to the
vdevs involved with that lwb's write is passed on to the "next" lwb.
It's only once a write for an lwb with waiters completes, do we issue
the vdev flush command(s). As a result, now when we issue the flush(s),
we will issue them to the vdevs involved with that specific lwb's write,
but potentially also to vdevs involved with "previous" lwb writes (i.e.
if the previous lwbs did not have waiters associated with them).
Thus, in our prior example with 10 lwbs, it's only once the last lwb
completes (which will be the lwb containing the waiter for the thread
that called fsync) will we issue the vdev flush command; all of the
other lwbs will find they have no waiters, so they'll pass the
responsibility of the flush to the "next" lwb (until reaching the last
lwb that has the waiter).

Closes#8010
Since native ZFS encryption was merged, we have been fighting
against a series of bugs that come down to the same problem: Key
mappings (which must be present during all I/O operations) are
created and destroyed based on dataset ownership, but I/Os can
have traditionally been allowed to "leak" into the next txg after
the dataset is disowned.
In the past we have attempted to solve this problem by trying to
ensure that datasets are disowned ater all I/O is finished by
calling txg_wait_synced(), but we have repeatedly found edge cases
that need to be squashed and code paths that might incur a high
number of txg syncs. This patch attempts to resolve this issue
differently, by adding a reference to the key mapping for each txg
it is dirtied in. By doing so, we can remove many of the
unnecessary calls to txg_wait_synced() we have added in the past
and ensure we don't need to deal with this problem in the future.

Closes#7949
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-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/3f3cc3c3Closes#7682
Problem
=======
Illumos bug 8373 was integrated, which now presents a code path where
"dmu_tx_assign" can fail. When "dmu_tx_assign" fails, it will not issue
the lwb that was passed in to "zil_lwb_write_issue". As a result, when
"zil_lwb_write_issue" returns, the lwb will still be in the "opened"
state, just as it was when "zil_lwb_write_issue" was originally called.
Solution
========
As a result of this new call path, the failed assertion needs to be
modified to be aware of this new possibility. Thus, we can only assert
that the lwb is no longer in the "opened" state if the returned lwb is
non-null, since we cannot differentiate between the case of
"dmu_tx_assign" failing or "zio_alloc_zil" failing within the call to
"zil_lwb_write_issue".

A lightning talk of this feature can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPQA8K40jAM
Implementation details can be found in big block comment of
spa_checkpoint.c
Side-changes that are relevant to this commit but not explained
elsewhere:
* renames members of "struct metaslab trees to be shorter without
losing meaning
* space_map_{alloc,truncate}() accept a block size as a
parameter. The reason is that in the current state all space
maps that we allocate through the DMU use a global tunable
(space_map_blksz) which defauls to 4KB. This is ok for metaslab
space maps in terms of bandwirdth since they are scattered all
over the disk. But for other space maps this default is probably
not what we want. Examples are device removal's vdev_obsolete_sm
or vdev_chedkpoint_sm from this review. Both of these have a
1:1 relationship with each vdev and could benefit from a bigger
block size.
Porting notes:
* The part of dsl_scan_sync() which handles async destroys has
been moved into the new dsl_process_async_destroys() function.
* Remove "VERIFY(!(flags & FWRITE))" in "kernel.c" so zhack can write
to block device backed pools.
* ZTS:
* Fix get_txg() in zpool_sync_001_pos due to "checkpoint_txg".
* Don't use large dd block sizes on /dev/urandom under Linux in
checkpoint_capacity.
* Adopt Delphix-OS's setting of 4 (spa_asize_inflation =
SPA_DVAS_PER_BP + 1) for the checkpoint_capacity test to speed
its attempts to fill the pool
* Create the base and nested pools with sync=disabled to speed up
the "setup" phase.
* Clear labels in test pool between checkpoint tests to avoid
duplicate pool issues.
* The import_rewind_device_replaced test has been marked as "known
to fail" for the reasons listed in its DISCLAIMER.
* New module parameters:
zfs_spa_discard_memory_limit,
zfs_remove_max_bytes_pause (not documented - debugging only)
vdev_max_ms_count (formerly metaslabs_per_vdev)

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.

In zil_lwb_commit() with TX_WRITE, we copy the log write record (lrw)
into the log write block (lwb) and send it off using zil_lwb_add_txg().
If we also have WR_NEED_COPY, we additionally copy the lwr's data into
the lwb to be sent off. If the lwr + data doesn't fit into the lwb, we
send the lrw and as much data as will fit (dnow bytes), then go back
and do the same with the remaining data.
Each time through this loop we're sending dnow data bytes. I.e.
zil_itx_needcopy_bytes should be incremented by dnow.

Currently, os_next_write_raw is a single boolean used for determining
whether or not the next call to dmu_objset_sync() should write out
the objset_phys_t as a raw buffer. Since the boolean is not associated
with a txg, the work simply happens during the next txg, which is not
necessarily the correct one. In the current implementation this issue
was misdiagnosed, resulting in a small hack in dmu_objset_sync() which
seemed to resolve the problem.
This patch changes os_next_write_raw to be an array of booleans, one
for each txg in TXG_OFF and removes the hack.

before writing to the zil_header_t. This prevents the code
from attempting to re-authenticate the objset_phys_t when
it writes it out, which is unnecessary because the
zil_header_t is not protected by either objset MAC and
impossible since the keys aren't loaded yet. Unfortunately,

PROBLEM
=======
When `dmu_tx_assign` is called from `zil_lwb_write_issue`, it's possible
for either `ERESTART` or `EIO` to be returned.
If `ERESTART` is returned, this will cause an assertion to fail directly
in `zil_lwb_write_issue`, where the code assumes the return value is
`EIO` if `dmu_tx_assign` returns a non-zero value. This can occur if the
SPA is suspended when `dmu_tx_assign` is called, and most often occurs
when running `zloop`.
If `EIO` is returned, this can cause assertions to fail elsewhere in the
ZIL code. For example, `zil_commit_waiter_timeout` contains the
following logic:
lwb_t *nlwb = zil_lwb_write_issue(zilog, lwb);
ASSERT3S(lwb->lwb_state, !=, LWB_STATE_OPENED);
In this case, if `dmu_tx_assign` returned `EIO` from within
`zil_lwb_write_issue`, the `lwb` variable passed in will not be issued
to disk. Thus, it's `lwb_state` field will remain `LWB_STATE_OPENED` and
this assertion will fail. `zil_commit_waiter_timeout` assumes that after
it calls `zil_lwb_write_issue`, the `lwb` will be issued to disk, and
doesn't handle the case where this is not true; i.e. it doesn't handle
the case where `dmu_tx_assign` returns `EIO`.
SOLUTION
========
This change modifies the `dmu_tx_assign` function such that `txg_how` is
a bitmask, rather than of the `txg_how_t` enum type. Now, the previous
`TXG_WAITED` semantics can be used via `TXG_NOTHROTTLE`, along with
specifying either `TXG_NOWAIT` or `TXG_WAIT` semantics.
Previously, when `TXG_WAITED` was specified, `TXG_NOWAIT` semantics was
automatically invoked. This was not ideal when using `TXG_WAITED` within
`zil_lwb_write_issued`, leading the problem described above. Rather, we
want to achieve the semantics of `TXG_WAIT`, while also preventing the
`tx` from being penalized via the dirty delay throttling.
With this change, `zil_lwb_write_issued` can acheive the semtantics that
it requires by passing in the value `TXG_WAIT | TXG_NOTHROTTLE` to
`dmu_tx_assign`.
Further, consumers of `dmu_tx_assign` wishing to achieve the old
`TXG_WAITED` semantics can pass in the value `TXG_NOWAIT | TXG_NOTHROTTLE`.

If there's an outstanding lwb that's in `zil_commit_waiter_timeout`
waiting to timeout, waiting on it's waiter's CV, we must be sure not to
call `zil_free_lwb`. If we end up calling `zil_free_lwb`, then that LWB
may be freed and can result in a use-after-free situation where the
stale lwb pointer stored in the `zil_commit_waiter_t` structure of the
thread waiting on the waiter's CV is used.
A similar situation can occur if an lwb is issued to disk, and thus in
the `LWB_STATE_ISSUED` state, and `zil_free_lwb` is called while the
disk is servicing that lwb. In this situation, the lwb will be freed by
`zil_free_lwb`, which will result in a use-after-free situation when the
lwb's zio completes, and `zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done` is called.
This race condition is prevented in `zil_close` by calling `zil_commit`
before `zil_free_lwb` is called, which will ensure all outstanding (i.e.
all lwb's in the `LWB_STATE_OPEN` and/or `LWB_STATE_ISSUED` states)
reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state before the lwb's are freed
(`zil_commit` will not return untill all the lwb's are
`LWB_STATE_DONE`).
Further, this race condition is prevented in `zil_sync` by only calling
`zil_free_lwb` for lwb's that do not have their `lwb_buf` pointer set.
All lwb's not in the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state will have a non-null value
for this pointer; the pointer is only cleared in
`zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done`, at which point the lwb's state will be
changed to `LWB_STATE_DONE`.
This race *is* present in `zil_suspend`, leading to this bug.
At first glance, it would appear as though this would not be true
because `zil_suspend` will call `zil_commit`, just like `zil_close`, but
the problem is that `zil_suspend` will set the zilog's `zl_suspend`
field prior to calling `zil_commit`. Further, in `zil_commit`, if
`zl_suspend` is set, `zil_commit` will take a special branch of logic
and use `txg_wait_synced` instead of performing the normal `zil_commit`
logic.
This call to `txg_wait_synced` might be good enough for the data to
reach disk safely before it returns, but it does not ensure that all
outstanding lwb's reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state before it returns.
This is because, if there's an lwb "stuck" in
`zil_commit_waiter_timeout`, waiting for it's lwb to timeout, it will
maintain a non-null value for it's `lwb_buf` field and thus `zil_sync`
will not free that lwb. Thus, even though the lwb's data is already on
disk, the lwb will be left lingering, waiting on the CV, and will
eventually timeout and be issued to disk even though the write is
unnecessary.
So, after `zil_commit` is called from `zil_suspend`, we incorrectly
assume that there are not outstanding lwb's, and proceed to free all
lwb's found on the zilog's lwb list. As a result, we free the lwb that
will later be used `zil_commit_waiter_timeout`.
SOLUTION
========
The solution to this, is to ensure all outstanding lwb's complete before
calling `zil_free_lwb` via `zil_destroy` in `zil_suspend`. This patch
accomplishes this goal by forcing the normal `zil_commit` logic when
called from `zil_sync`.
Now, `zil_suspend` will call `zil_commit_impl` which will always use the
normal logic of waiting/issuing lwb's to disk before it returns. As a
result, any lwb's outstanding when `zil_commit_impl` is called will be
guaranteed to reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state by the time it returns.
Further, no new lwb's will be created via `zil_commit` since the zilog's
`zl_suspend` flag will be set. This will force all new callers of
`zil_commit` to use `txg_wait_synced` instead of creating and issuing
new lwb's.
Thus, all lwb's left on the zilog's lwb list when `zil_destroy` is
called will be in the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state, and we'll avoid this race
condition.

This is a purely cosmetic change. The zilog's "zl_writer_lock" field is
being renamed to "zl_issuer_lock" to try and make the code easier to
understand; no other changes are made.

Problem
=======
The current implementation of zil_commit() can introduce significant
latency, beyond what is inherent due to the latency of the underlying
storage. The additional latency comes from two main problems:
1. When there's outstanding ZIL blocks being written (i.e. there's
already a "writer thread" in progress), then any new calls to
zil_commit() will block waiting for the currently oustanding ZIL
blocks to complete. The blocks written for each "writer thread" is
coined a "batch", and there can only ever be a single "batch" being
written at a time. When a batch is being written, any new ZIL
transactions will have to wait for the next batch to be written,
which won't occur until the current batch finishes.
As a result, the underlying storage may not be used as efficiently
as possible. While "new" threads enter zil_commit() and are blocked
waiting for the next batch, it's possible that the underlying
storage isn't fully utilized by the current batch of ZIL blocks. In
that case, it'd be better to allow these new threads to generate
(and issue) a new ZIL block, such that it could be serviced by the
underlying storage concurrently with the other ZIL blocks that are
being serviced.
2. Any call to zil_commit() must wait for all ZIL blocks in its "batch"
to complete, prior to zil_commit() returning. The size of any given
batch is proportional to the number of ZIL transaction in the queue
at the time that the batch starts processing the queue; which
doesn't occur until the previous batch completes. Thus, if there's a
lot of transactions in the queue, the batch could be composed of
many ZIL blocks, and each call to zil_commit() will have to wait for
all of these writes to complete (even if the thread calling
zil_commit() only cared about one of the transactions in the batch).
To further complicate the situation, these two issues result in the
following side effect:
3. If a given batch takes longer to complete than normal, this results
in larger batch sizes, which then take longer to complete and
further drive up the latency of zil_commit(). This can occur for a
number of reasons, including (but not limited to): transient changes
in the workload, and storage latency irregularites.
Solution
========
The solution attempted by this change has the following goals:
1. no on-disk changes; maintain current on-disk format.
2. modify the "batch size" to be equal to the "ZIL block size".
3. allow new batches to be generated and issued to disk, while there's
already batches being serviced by the disk.
4. allow zil_commit() to wait for as few ZIL blocks as possible.
5. use as few ZIL blocks as possible, for the same amount of ZIL
transactions, without introducing significant latency to any
individual ZIL transaction. i.e. use fewer, but larger, ZIL blocks.
In theory, with these goals met, the new allgorithm will allow the
following improvements:
1. new ZIL blocks can be generated and issued, while there's already
oustanding ZIL blocks being serviced by the storage.
2. the latency of zil_commit() should be proportional to the underlying
storage latency, rather than the incoming synchronous workload.
Porting Notes
=============
Due to the changes made in commit 119a394ab0, the lifetime of an itx
structure differs than in OpenZFS. Specifically, the itx structure is
kept around until the data associated with the itx is considered to be
safe on disk; this is so that the itx's callback can be called after the
data is committed to stable storage. Since OpenZFS doesn't have this itx
callback mechanism, it's able to destroy the itx structure immediately
after the itx is committed to an lwb (before the lwb is written to
disk).
To support this difference, and to ensure the itx's callbacks can still
be called after the itx's data is on disk, a few changes had to be made:
* A list of itxs was added to the lwb structure. This list contains
all of the itxs that have been committed to the lwb, such that the
callbacks for these itxs can be called from zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(),
after the data for the itxs is committed to disk.
* A list of itxs was added on the stack of the zil_process_commit_list()
function; the "nolwb_itxs" list. In some circumstances, an itx may
not be committed to an lwb (e.g. if allocating the "next" ZIL block
on disk fails), so this list is used to keep track of which itxs
fall into this state, such that their callbacks can be called after
the ZIL's writer pipeline is "stalled".
* The logic to actually call the itx's callback was moved into the
zil_itx_destroy() function. Since all consumers of zil_itx_destroy()
were effectively performing the same logic (i.e. if callback is
non-null, call the callback), it seemed like useful code cleanup to
consolidate this logic into a single function.
Additionally, the existing Linux tracepoint infrastructure dealing with
the ZIL's probes and structures had to be updated to reflect these code
changes. Specifically:
* The "zil__cw1" and "zil__cw2" probes were removed, so they had to be
removed from "trace_zil.h" as well.
* Some of the zilog structure's fields were removed, which affected
the tracepoint definitions of the structure.
* New tracepoints had to be added for the following 3 new probes:
* zil__process__commit__itx
* zil__process__normal__itx
* zil__commit__io__error

Using zio_data_buf_alloc() to allocate the itx's may be unsafe
because the itx->itx_lr.lrc_reclen field is not constant from
allocation to free. Using a different itx->itx_lr.lrc_reclen
size in zio_data_buf_free() can result in the allocation being
returned to the wrong kmem cache.
This issue can be avoided entirely by storing the allocation size
in itx->itx_size and using that for zio_data_buf_free().
