Adding O_DIRECT support to ZFS to bypass the ARC for writes/reads.
O_DIRECT support in ZFS will always ensure there is coherency between
buffered and O_DIRECT IO requests. This ensures that all IO requests,
whether buffered or direct, will see the same file contents at all
times. Just as in other FS's , O_DIRECT does not imply O_SYNC. While
data is written directly to VDEV disks, metadata will not be synced
until the associated TXG is synced.
For both O_DIRECT read and write request the offset and request sizes,
at a minimum, must be PAGE_SIZE aligned. In the event they are not,
then EINVAL is returned unless the direct property is set to always (see
below).
For O_DIRECT writes:
The request also must be block aligned (recordsize) or the write
request will take the normal (buffered) write path. In the event that
request is block aligned and a cached copy of the buffer in the ARC,
then it will be discarded from the ARC forcing all further reads to
retrieve the data from disk.
For O_DIRECT reads:
The only alignment restrictions are PAGE_SIZE alignment. In the event
that the requested data is in buffered (in the ARC) it will just be
copied from the ARC into the user buffer.
For both O_DIRECT writes and reads the O_DIRECT flag will be ignored in
the event that file contents are mmap'ed. In this case, all requests
that are at least PAGE_SIZE aligned will just fall back to the buffered
paths. If the request however is not PAGE_SIZE aligned, EINVAL will
be returned as always regardless if the file's contents are mmap'ed.
Since O_DIRECT writes go through the normal ZIO pipeline, the
following operations are supported just as with normal buffered writes:
Checksum
Compression
Encryption
Erasure Coding
There is one caveat for the data integrity of O_DIRECT writes that is
distinct for each of the OS's supported by ZFS.
FreeBSD - FreeBSD is able to place user pages under write protection so
any data in the user buffers and written directly down to the
VDEV disks is guaranteed to not change. There is no concern
with data integrity and O_DIRECT writes.
Linux - Linux is not able to place anonymous user pages under write
protection. Because of this, if the user decides to manipulate
the page contents while the write operation is occurring, data
integrity can not be guaranteed. However, there is a module
parameter `zfs_vdev_direct_write_verify` that controls the
if a O_DIRECT writes that can occur to a top-level VDEV before
a checksum verify is run before the contents of the I/O buffer
are committed to disk. In the event of a checksum verification
failure the write will return EIO. The number of O_DIRECT write
checksum verification errors can be observed by doing
`zpool status -d`, which will list all verification errors that
have occurred on a top-level VDEV. Along with `zpool status`, a
ZED event will be issues as `dio_verify` when a checksum
verification error occurs.
ZVOLs and dedup is not currently supported with Direct I/O.
A new dataset property `direct` has been added with the following 3
allowable values:
disabled - Accepts O_DIRECT flag, but silently ignores it and treats
the request as a buffered IO request.
standard - Follows the alignment restrictions outlined above for
write/read IO requests when the O_DIRECT flag is used.
always - Treats every write/read IO request as though it passed
O_DIRECT and will do O_DIRECT if the alignment restrictions
are met otherwise will redirect through the ARC. This
property will not allow a request to fail.
There is also a module parameter zfs_dio_enabled that can be used to
force all reads and writes through the ARC. By setting this module
parameter to 0, it mimics as if the direct dataset property is set to
disabled.

zfs_acl_node_alloc allocates an uninitialized data buffer, but upstack

Commit 329e2ffa4bca456e65c3db7f5c5c04931c551b61 has made mount.zfs(8) to
call libzfs function 'zfs_mount_at', in order to propagate dataset
properties into mount options. This fix however, is limited to a special
use case where mount.zfs(8) is used in initrd with option '-o zfsutil'.
If either initrd or the user need to use mount.zfs(8) to mount a file
system with 'mountpoint' set to 'legacy', '-o zfsutil' can't be used and
the original issue #7947 will still happen.
Since the existing code already excluded the possibility of calling
'zfs_mount_at' when it was invoked as a helper program from zfs(8), by
checking 'ZFS_MOUNT_HELPER' environment variable, it makes no sense to
avoid calling 'zfs_mount_at' without '-o zfsutil'.
An exception however, is when mount.zfs(8) was invoked with '-o remount'
to update the mount options for an existing mount point. In this case
call mount(2) directly without modifying the mount options passed from
command line.
Furthermore, don't run mount.zfs(8) helper for automounting snapshot.
The above change to make mount.zfs(8) to call 'zfs_mount_at'
apparently caused it to trigger an automount for the snapshot
directory. When the helper was invoked as a result of a snapshot
automount, an infinite recursion will occur.
Since the need of invoking user mode mount(8) for automounting was to
overcome that the 'vfs_kern_mount' being GPL-only, just run mount(8)
without the mount.zfs(8) helper by adding option '-i'.

zfs_arc_shrinker_limit (default: 10000) avoids ARC collapse
due to excessive memory reclaim. However, when the kernel is
in direct reclaim mode (ie: low on memory), limiting ARC reclaim
increases OOM risk. This is especially true on system without
(or with inadequate) swap.
This patch ignores zfs_arc_shrinker_limit when the kernel is in
direct reclaim mode, avoiding most OOM. It also restores
"echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" ability to correctly drop
(almost) all ARC.

zvol queue limits initialization depends on `zv_volblocksize`, but it is
initialized later, leading to several limits being initialized with
incorrect values, including `max_discard_*` limits. This also causes
`blkdiscard` command to consistently fail, as `blk_ioctl_discard` reads
`bdev_max_discard_sectors()` limits as 0, leading to failure. The fix is
straightforward: initialize `zv->zv_volblocksize` early, before setting
the queue limits. This PR should fix `zvol/zvol_misc/zvol_misc_trim`
failure on recent PRs, as the test case issues `blkdiscard` for a zvol.
Additionally, `zvol_misc_trim` was recently enabled in `6c7d41a`,
which is why the issue wasn't identified earlier.
