9907cc1cc8 Add zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent tunable
ARC will evict meta buffers that exceed the arc_meta_limit. Before a further
investigating on whether we should take special protection on meta buffers,
this tunable make arc_meta_limit adjustable for different workloads.

People can set zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent to any value while insmod zfs.ko,
so some range check is added to guarantee a suitable arc_meta_limit.

Suggested by Tim Chase, zfs_arc_dnode_limit is changed to a percent-style
tunable as well.

70b258fc96 Fletcher4 implementation using avx512f instruction set
Algorithm runs 8 parallel sums, consuming 8x uint32_t elements per
loop iteration. Size alignment of main fletcher4 methods is adjusted
accordingly. New implementation is called 'avx512f'.

Note: byteswap method can be implemented more efficiently when avx512bw hardware
becomes available. Currently, it is ~ 2x slower than native method.

Table shows result of full (native) fletcher4 calculation for different buffer size:

25458cbef9 Limit the amount of dnode metadata in the ARC
Metadata-intensive workloads can cause the ARC to become permanently
filled with dnode_t objects as they're pinned by the VFS layer.
Subsequent data-intensive workloads may only benefit from about
25% of the potential ARC (arc_c_max - arc_meta_limit).

In order to help track metadata usage more precisely, the other_size
metadata arcstat has replaced with dbuf_size, dnode_size and bonus_size.

The new zfs_arc_dnode_limit tunable, which defaults to 10% of
zfs_arc_meta_limit, defines the minimum number of bytes which is desirable
to be consumed by dnodes.  Attempts to evict non-metadata will trigger
async prune tasks if the space used by dnodes exceeds this limit.

The new zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent tunable specifies the amount by
which the excess dnode space is attempted to be pruned as a percentage of
the amount by which zfs_arc_dnode_limit is being exceeded.  By default,
it tries to unpin 10% of the dnodes.

The problem of dnode metadata pinning was observed with the following
testing procedure (in this example, zfs_arc_max is set to 4GiB):

    - Create a large number of small files until arc_meta_used exceeds
      arc_meta_limit (3GiB with default tuning) and arc_prune
      starts increasing.

    - Create a 3GiB file with dd.  Observe arc_mata_used.  It will still
      be around 3GiB.

    - Repeatedly read the 3GiB file and observe arc_meta_limit as before.
      It will continue to stay around 3GiB.

With this modification, space for the 3GiB file is gradually made
available as subsequent demands on the ARC are made.  The previous behavior
can be restored by setting zfs_arc_dnode_limit to the same value as the
zfs_arc_meta_limit.

35a76a0366 Implementation of SSE optimized Fletcher-4
Builds off of 1eeb4562 (Implementation of AVX2 optimized Fletcher-4)
This commit adds another implementation of the Fletcher-4 algorithm.
It is automatically selected at module load if it benchmarks higher
than all other available implementations.

The module benchmark was also amended to analyze the performance of
the byteswap-ed version of Fletcher-4, as well as the non-byteswaped
version. The average performance of the two is used to select the
the fastest implementation available on the host system.

Adds a pair of fields to an existing zcommon module parameter:
-  zfs_fletcher_4_impl (str)
    "sse2"    - new SSE2 implementation if available
    "ssse3"   - new SSSE3 implementation if available

ab9f4b0b82 SIMD implementation of vdev_raidz generate and reconstruct routines
This is a new implementation of RAIDZ1/2/3 routines using x86_64
scalar, SSE, and AVX2 instruction sets. Included are 3 parity
generation routines (P, PQ, and PQR) and 7 reconstruction routines,
for all RAIDZ level. On module load, a quick benchmark of supported
routines will select the fastest for each operation and they will
be used at runtime. Original implementation is still present and
can be selected via module parameter.

Patch contains:
- specialized gen/rec routines for all RAIDZ levels,
- new scalar raidz implementation (unrolled),
- two x86_64 SIMD implementations (SSE and AVX2 instructions sets),
- fastest routines selected on module load (benchmark).
- cmd/raidz_test - verify and benchmark all implementations
- added raidz_test to the ZFS Test Suite

New zfs module parameters:
- zfs_vdev_raidz_impl (str): selects the implementation to use. On
  module load, the parameter will only accept first 3 options, and
  the other implementations can be set once module is finished
  loading. Possible values for this option are:
    "fastest" - use the fastest math available
    "original" - use the original raidz code
    "scalar" - new scalar impl
    "sse" - new SSE impl if available
    "avx2" - new AVX2 impl if available

See contents of `/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_vdev_raidz_impl` to
get the list of supported values. If an implementation is not supported
on the system, it will not be shown. Currently selected option is
enclosed in `[]`.

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) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 161 seconds @ 95 MB/s
== Load Balanced (zfslinux) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 297 seconds @ 51 MB/s
== Load Balanced (locality freebsd) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 54 seconds @ 284 MB/s

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 (zfslinux) ==
Read 15360MB using bs: 1048576, readers: 3, took 108 seconds @ 142 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
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.non_rotating_seek_inc

These changes where based on work started by the zfsonlinux developers:

a966c5640e Reintroduce zfs_remove() synchronous deletes
Reintroduce a slightly adapted version of the Illumos logic for
synchronous unlinks.  The basic idea here is that only files
smaller than zfs_delete_blocks (20480) blocks should be deleted
synchronously.  Unlinking larger files should be handled
asynchronously to minimize impact to the caller.

To accomplish this iput() which is responsible for calling
zfs_znode_delete() on Linux is only called in the delete_now
path.  Otherwise zfs_async_iput() is used which allows the
last reference to be dropped by a taskq thread effectively
making the removal asynchronous.

Porting notes:
- Add zfs_delete_blocks module option for performance analysis.
  The default value is DMU_MAX_DELETEBLKCNT which is the same
  as upstream.  Reducing this value means that smaller files
  will be unlinked asynchronously like large files.
- All occurrences of zfsvfs changes to zsb.

0500e835af Support accessing .zfs/snapshot via NFS
This patch is based on the previous work done by @andrey-ve and
@yshui.  It triggers the automount by using kern_path() to traverse
to the known snapshout mount point.  Once the snapshot is mounted
NFS can access the contents of the snapshot.

Allowing NFS clients to access to the .zfs/snapshot directory would
normally mean that a root user on a client mounting an export with
'no_root_squash' would be able to use mkdir/rmdir/mv to manipulate
snapshots on the server.  To prevent configuration mistakes a
zfs_admin_snapshot module option was added which disables the
mkdir/rmdir/mv functionally.  System administators desiring this
functionally must explicitly enable it.

37f9dac592 zvol processing should use struct bio
Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.

Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.

Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:

1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.

An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat.  Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.

Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

7e8bddd019 Update arc_memory_throttle() to check pageout
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.

11f552fa90 Update arc_available_memory() to check freemem
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

Porting notes and other significant code changes:

The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which
was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch.

Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to
actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every
time it runs.

The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts()
since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically.

Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or
whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch:

    302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux
    39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink
    f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c"
    77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation
    94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta

Trace support for multilist_insert() and multilist_remove() has been
added and produces the following output:

    fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448324: zfs_multilist__insert: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 63 }
    fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448347: zfs_multilist__remove: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 29 }

The following arcstats have been removed:

    recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which
    have been updated appropriately.

    l2_writes_hdr_miss

The following arcstats have been added:

    evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to
    evict enough buffers to reach its target amount.

    evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction
    because it was being written to the l2arc.

    l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss.  Number of times
    l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries).

    arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module
    parameter (see below).

The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't
have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme.  Additional multilist-
related stats could be added in the future but would likely require
extensions to the mulilist API.

The following module parameters have been added:

    zfs_arc_evict_batch_limit - Number of ARC headers to free per sub-list
    before moving on to the next sub-list.

    zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in
    the ARC.

    zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per
    ARC state.

    zfs_arc_overflow_shift - Controls amount by which the ARC must exceed
    the target size to be considered "overflowing".

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.

bc88866657 Fix arc_adjust_meta() behavior
The goal of this function is to evict enough meta data buffers from the
ARC in order to enforce the arc_meta_limit.  Achieving this is slightly
more complicated than it appears because it is common for data buffers
to have holds on meta data buffers.  In addition, dnode meta data buffers
will be held by the dnodes in the block preventing them from being freed.
This means we can't simply traverse the ARC and expect to always find
enough unheld meta data buffer to release.

Therefore, this function has been updated to make alternating passes
over the ARC releasing data buffers and then newly unheld meta data
buffers.  This ensures forward progress is maintained and arc_meta_used
will decrease.  Normally this is sufficient, but if required the ARC
will call the registered prune callbacks causing dentry and inodes to
be dropped from the VFS cache.  This will make dnode meta data buffers
available for reclaim.  The number of total restarts in limited by
zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts to prevent spinning in the rare case
where all meta data is pinned.

2cbb06b561 Restructure per-filesystem reclaim
Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was
to register a single callback for the ZPL.  The ARC could invoke this
call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other
cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC.  The ZPL
would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim.

For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations
in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems.  This patch
is designed to address those issues.

1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes
it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in
a single callback.  The most straight forward and portable way to
resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount.
The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple
callbacks so this is functionally a very small change.

2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory()
and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with
equivalent functionality.  This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older
kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from
the caches if needed.  This patch adds that missing functionality
by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be
pinning inodes.  This will result in all unused cache entries being
dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface
available for old kernels.

3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than
2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback.  This ensures
that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately
removed from the cache.  If this isn't done than inode can end up on
the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them.
Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still
be recreated without performing disk IO.

Porting notes:

Because support for exposing a uint64_t parameter wasn't added
until v3.17-rc1 the zfs_free_max_blocks variable has been declared
as a unsigned long.  This is already far larger than required and
it allows us to avoid additional autoconf compatibility code.

The default value has been set to 100,000 on Linux instead of
ULONG_MAX which is used on Illumos.  This was done to limit the
number of outstanding IOs in the system when snapshots are destroyed.
This helps ensure individual TXG sync times are kept reasonable and
memory isn't wasted managing a huge backlog of outstanding IOs.

0dfc732416 Change the default 'zfs_dedup_prefetch' value to '0'
This gives a huge performance improvement in operations with deduped
datasets especially when the bottleneck is the amount of ram
available for zfs.

Notes:
    This set of patches adds a set of tunable parameters for the
    "extreme rewind" mode of pool import which allows control over
    the traversal performed during such an import.

Notes:
    The "zdb -M" option has been re-tasked to display the new metaslab
    fragmentation metric and the new "zdb -I" option is used to control
    the maximum number of in-flight I/Os.

    The new fragmentation metric is derived from the space map histogram
    which has been rolled up to the vdev and pool level and is presented
    to the user via "zpool list".

    Add a number of module parameters related to the new metaslab weighting
    logic.

Porting notes:

Previous stack-reduction efforts in traverse_visitb() caused a fair
number of un-mergable pieces of code.  This patch should reduce its
stack footprint a bit more.

The new local bptree_entry_phys_t in bptree_add() is dynamically-allocated
using kmem_zalloc() for the purpose of stack reduction.

The new global zfs_free_leak_on_eio has been defined as an integer
rather than a boolean_t as was the case with the related zfs_recover
global.  Also, zfs_free_leak_on_eio's definition has been inserted into
zfs_debug.c for consistency with the existing definition of zfs_recover.
Illumos placed it in spa_misc.c.

aa7d06a98a Illumos #4101 finer-grained control of metaslab_debug
Today the metaslab_debug logic performs two tasks:

- load all metaslabs on import/open
- don't unload metaslabs at the end of spa_sync

This change provides knobs for each of these independently.

Notes:

1) This is a small piece of the metaslab improvement patch from
Illumos. It was worth bringing over before the rest, since it's
low risk and it can be useful on fragmented pools (e.g. Lustre
MDTs). metaslab_debug_unload would give the performance benefit
of the old metaslab_debug option without causing unwanted delay
during pool import.

It's unclear why adjustments to arc_p need to be dampened as they are in
arc_adjust. With that said, it's removal significantly improves the arc's
ability to "warm up" to a given workload. Thus, I'm disabling by default
until its usefulness is better understood.
