In #13871, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit_non_rotating and
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit being signed was pointed out as a possible
reason not to eliminate an unnecessary MAX(unsigned, 0) since the
unsigned value was assigned from them.
There is no reason for these module parameters to be signed and upon
inspection, it was found that there are a number of other module
parameters that are signed, but should not be, so we make them unsigned.
Making them unsigned made it clear that some other variables in the code
should also be unsigned, so we also make those unsigned. This prevents
users from setting negative values that could potentially cause bad
behaviors. It also makes the code slightly easier to understand.
Mostly module parameters that deal with timeouts, limits, bitshifts and
percentages are made unsigned by this. Any that are boolean are left
signed, since whether booleans should be considered signed or unsigned
does not matter.
Making zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent unsigned caused a
`zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent >= 0` check to become redundant, so it was
removed. Removing the check was also necessary to prevent a compiler
error from -Werror=type-limits.
Several end of line comments had to be moved to their own lines because
replacing int with uint_t caused us to exceed the 80 character limit
enforced by cstyle.pl.
The following were kept signed because they are passed to
taskq_create(), which expects signed values and modifying the
OpenSolaris/Illumos DDI is out of scope of this patch:
* metaslab_load_pct
* zfs_sync_taskq_batch_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_nthr_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_minalloc
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_maxalloc
* zfs_arc_prune_task_threads
Also, negative values in those parameters was found to be harmless.
The following were left signed because either negative values make
sense, or more analysis was needed to determine whether negative values
should be disallowed:
* zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold
* zfs_pd_bytes_max
* zfs_livelist_min_percent_shared
zfs_multihost_history was made static to be consistent with other
parameters.
A number of module parameters were marked as signed, but in reality
referenced unsigned variables. upgrade_errlog_limit is one of the
numerous examples. In the case of zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active, it was
already uint32_t, but zdb had an extern int declaration for it.
Interestingly, the documentation in zfs.4 was right for
upgrade_errlog_limit despite the module parameter being wrongly marked,
while the documentation for zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active (and friends)
was wrong. It was also wrong for zstd_abort_size, which was unsigned,
but was documented as signed.
Also, the documentation in zfs.4 incorrectly described the following
parameters as ulong when they were int:
* zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts
* zfs_override_estimate_recordsize
They are now uint_t as of this patch and thus the man page has been
updated to describe them as uint.
dbuf_state_index was left alone since it does nothing and perhaps should
be removed in another patch.
If any module parameters were missed, they were not found by `grep -r
'ZFS_MODULE_PARAM' | grep ', INT'`. I did find a few that grep missed,
but only because they were in files that had hits.
This patch intentionally did not attempt to address whether some of
these module parameters should be elevated to 64-bit parameters, because
the length of a long on 32-bit is 32-bit.
Lastly, it was pointed out during review that uint_t is a better match
for these variables than uint32_t because FreeBSD kernel parameter
definitions are designed for uint_t, whose bit width can change in
future memory models. As a result, we change the existing parameters
that are uint32_t to use uint_t.

When a header is allocated for full overwrite it is a waste of time
to allocate b_pabd/b_rabd for it, since arc_write() will free them
without ever being touched. If it is a read or a partial overwrite
then arc_read() and arc_hdr_decrypt() allocate them explicitly.
Reduced memory allocation in user threads also reduces ARC eviction
throttling there, proportionally increasing it in ZIO threads, that
is not good. To minimize or even avoid it introduce ARC allocation
reserve, allowing certain arc_get_data_abd() callers to allocate a
bit longer in situations where user threads will already throttle.

The only place the reclaimable slab size is used is as a component of
the calculation done by arc_free_memory(). This function returns the
amount of memory the ARC considers to be free or reclaimable at little
cost. Rather than switch to a new interface to get this value it has
been removed it from the calculation. It is normally a minor component
compared to the number of inactive or free pages, and removing it
aligns the behavior with the FreeBSD version of arc_free_memory().

Closes#10834
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

`arc_free_memory()` returns the amount of memory that the ARC considers
to be free. This includes pages that are not actually free, but can be
evicted with essentially zero cost (without doing any i/o), for example
the page cache. The ARC can "squeeze out" any pages included in this
calculation, leaving only `arc_sys_free` (1/64th of RAM) for these
free/evictable pages.
Included in the count of free/evictable pages is
`nr_inactive_anon_pages()`, which is described as "Anonymous memory that
has not been used recently and can be swapped out". These pages would
have to be written out to disk (swap) in order to evict them, and they
are not included in `/proc/meminfo`'s `MemAvailable`.
Therefore it is not appropriate for `nr_inactive_anon_pages()` to be
included in the free/evictable memory returned by `arc_free_memory()`,
because the ARC shouldn't (intentionally) make the system swap.
This commit removes `nr_inactive_anon_pages()` from the memory returned
by `arc_free_memory()`. This is a step towards enabling the ARC to
manage free memory by monitoring it and reducing the ARC size as we
notice that there is insufficient free memory (in the `arc_reap_zthr`),
rather than the current method of relying on the `arc_shrinker`
callback.

Therefore, we can simplify the code in the OS-specific ARC and kmem

The SPL provides a wrapper for the kernel's shrinker callbacks, which
enables the ZFS code to interface with multiple versions of the shrinker
API's from different kernel versions. Specifically, Linux kernels 3.0 -
3.11 has a single "combined" callback, and Linux kernels 3.12 and later
have two "split" callbacks. The SPL provides a wrapper function so that
the ZFS code only needs to implement one version of the callbacks.
Currently the SPL's wrappers are designed such that the ZFS code
implements the older, "combined" callback. There are a few downsides to
this approach:
* The general design within ZFS is for the latest Linux kernel to be
considered the "first class" API.
* The newer, "split" callback API is easier to understand, because each
callback has one purpose.
* The current wrappers do not completely abstract out the differing
API's, so ZFS code needs `#ifdef` code to handle the differing return
values required for different kernel versions.
This commit addresses these drawbacks by having the ZFS code provide the
latest, "split" callbacks, and the SPL provides a wrapping function for
the older, "combined" API.

ZFS registers a memory hook, `__arc_shrinker_func`, which is supposed to
allow the ARC to shrink when the kernel experiences memory pressure.
The ARC shrinker changes `arc_c` via a call to
`arc_reduce_target_size()`. Before commit 3ec34e5527, the ARC
shrinker would also evict data from the ARC to bring `arc_size` down to
the new `arc_c`. However, that commit (seemingly inadvertently) made it
so that the ARC shrinker no longer evicts any data or waits for eviction
to complete.
Repeated calls to the ARC shrinker can reduce `arc_c` drastically, often
all the way to `arc_c_min`. Since it doesn't wait for the actual
eviction of data from the ARC, this creates a situation where `arc_size`
is more than `arc_c` for the several seconds/minutes it takes for
`arc_adjust_zthr` to evict data from the ARC. During this time,
arc_get_data_impl() will block, so ZFS can't process read/write requests
(e.g. from iSCSI, NFS, or read/write syscalls).
To ensure that `arc_c` doesn't shrink faster than the adjust thread can
keep up, this commit makes the ARC shrinker wait for the eviction to
complete, resulting in similar behavior to what we had before commit
3ec34e5527.
Note: commit 3ec34e5527 is `OpenZFS 9284 - arc_reclaim_thread
has 2 jobs` and was integrated in December 2018, and is part of ZoL
0.8.x but not 0.7.x.
Additionally, when the ARC size is reduced drastically, the
`arc_adjust_zthr` can be on-CPU for many seconds without blocking. Any
threads that are bound to the same CPU that arc_adjust_zthr is running
on will not able to run for a long time.
To ensure that CPU-bound threads can make progress, this commit changes
`arc_evict_state_impl()` make a voluntary preemption call,
`cond_resched()`.

This change modifies some of the infrastructure for enabling the use of

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.
