Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:
Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:
* dbuf_cache_max_bytes
* dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
* l2arc_feed_min_ms
* l2arc_feed_secs
* l2arc_headroom
* l2arc_headroom_boost
* l2arc_write_boost
* l2arc_write_max
* metaslab_aliquot
* metaslab_force_ganging
* zfetch_array_rd_sz
* zfs_arc_max
* zfs_arc_meta_limit
* zfs_arc_meta_min
* zfs_arc_min
* zfs_async_block_max_blocks
* zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
* zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
* zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
* zfs_initialize_chunk_size
* zfs_initialize_value
* zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
* zfs_lua_max_memlimit
* zil_slog_bulk
Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:
* zfs_immediate_write_sz
Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.
Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:
* l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zfs_max_log_walking
* zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
* zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
* zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
* zfs_multihost_interval
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm
New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:
* l2arc_trim_ahead
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_sys_free
* zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_history_output_max
* zfs_livelist_max_entries
* zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
* zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
* zfs_rebuild_max_segment
* zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
* zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.
A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
* zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
* zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong
The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.
In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.
Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

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.

Coverity found a bug in `zfs_secpolicy_create_clone()` where it is
possible for us to pass an unterminated string when `zfs_get_parent()`
returns an error. Upon inspection, it is clear that using `strlcpy()`
would have avoided this issue.
Looking at the codebase, there are a number of other uses of `strncpy()`
that are unsafe and even when it is used safely, switching to
`strlcpy()` would make the code more readable. Therefore, we switch all
instances where we use `strncpy()` to use `strlcpy()`.
Unfortunately, we do not portably have access to `strlcpy()` in
tests/zfs-tests/cmd/zfs_diff-socket.c because it does not link to
libspl. Modifying the appropriate Makefile.am to try to link to it
resulted in an error from the naming choice used in the file. Trying to
disable the check on the file did not work on FreeBSD because Clang
ignores `#undef` when a definition is provided by `-Dstrncpy(...)=...`.
We workaround that by explictly including the C file from libspl into
the test. This makes things build correctly everywhere.
We add a deprecation warning to `config/Rules.am` and suppress it on the
remaining `strncpy()` usage. `strlcpy()` is not portably avaliable in
tests/zfs-tests/cmd/zfs_diff-socket.c, so we use `snprintf()` there as a
substitute.
This patch does not tackle the related problem of `strcpy()`, which is
even less safe. Thankfully, a quick inspection found that it is used far
more correctly than strncpy() was used. A quick inspection did not find
any problems with `strcpy()` usage outside of zhack, but it should be
said that I only checked around 90% of them.
Lastly, some of the fields in kstat_t varied in size by 1 depending on
whether they were in userspace or in the kernel. The origin of this
discrepancy appears to be 04a479f706 where
it was made for no apparent reason. It conflicts with the comment on
KSTAT_STRLEN, so we shrink the kernel field sizes to match the userspace
field sizes.

This commit adds BLAKE3 checksums to OpenZFS, it has similar
performance to Edon-R, but without the caveats around the latter.
Homepage of BLAKE3: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3
Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)#BLAKE3
Short description of Wikipedia:
BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function based on Bao and BLAKE2,
created by Jack O'Connor, Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, and
Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was announced on January 9, 2020, at Real
World Crypto. BLAKE3 is a single algorithm with many desirable
features (parallelism, XOF, KDF, PRF and MAC), in contrast to BLAKE
and BLAKE2, which are algorithm families with multiple variants.
BLAKE3 has a binary tree structure, so it supports a practically
unlimited degree of parallelism (both SIMD and multithreading) given
enough input. The official Rust and C implementations are
dual-licensed as public domain (CC0) and the Apache License.
Along with adding the BLAKE3 hash into the OpenZFS infrastructure a
new benchmarking file called chksum_bench was introduced. When read
it reports the speed of the available checksum functions.
On Linux: cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/chksum_bench
On FreeBSD: sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.chksum_bench

Mixing ZIL and normal allocations has several problems:
1. The ZIL allocations are allocated, written to disk, and then a few
seconds later freed. This leaves behind holes (free segments) where the
ZIL blocks used to be, which increases fragmentation, which negatively
impacts performance.
2. When under moderate load, ZIL allocations are of 128KB. If the pool
is fairly fragmented, there may not be many free chunks of that size.
This causes ZFS to load more metaslabs to locate free segments of 128KB
or more. The loading happens synchronously (from zil_commit()), and can
take around a second even if the metaslab's spacemap is cached in the
ARC. All concurrent synchronous operations on this filesystem must wait
while the metaslab is loading. This can cause a significant performance
impact.
3. If the pool is very fragmented, there may be zero free chunks of
128KB or more. In this case, the ZIL falls back to txg_wait_synced(),
which has an enormous performance impact.
These problems can be eliminated by using a dedicated log device
("slog"), even one with the same performance characteristics as the
normal devices.
This change sets aside one metaslab from each top-level vdev that is
preferentially used for ZIL allocations (vdev_log_mg,
spa_embedded_log_class). From an allocation perspective, this is
similar to having a dedicated log device, and it eliminates the
above-mentioned performance problems.
Log (ZIL) blocks can be allocated from the following locations. Each
one is tried in order until the allocation succeeds:
1. dedicated log vdevs, aka "slog" (spa_log_class)
2. embedded slog metaslabs (spa_embedded_log_class)
3. other metaslabs in normal vdevs (spa_normal_class)
The space required for the embedded slog metaslabs is usually between
0.5% and 1.0% of the pool, and comes out of the existing 3.2% of "slop"
space that is not available for user data.
On an all-ssd system with 4TB storage, 87% fragmentation, 60% capacity,
and recordsize=8k, testing shows a ~50% performance increase on random
8k sync writes. On even more fragmented systems (which hit problem #3
above and call txg_wait_synced()), the performance improvement can be
arbitrarily large (>100x).

The space in special devices is not included in spa_dspace (or
dsl_pool_adjustedsize(), or the zfs `available` property). Therefore
there is always at least as much free space in the normal class, as
there is allocated in the special class(es). And therefore, there is
always enough free space to remove a special device.
However, the checks for free space when removing special devices did not
take this into account. This commit corrects that.

Metaslab rotor and aliquot are used to distribute workload between
vdevs while keeping some locality for logically adjacent blocks. Once
multiple allocators were introduced to separate allocation of different
objects it does not make much sense for different allocators to write
into different metaslabs of the same metaslab group (vdev) same time,
competing for its resources. This change makes each allocator choose
metaslab group independently, colliding with others only sporadically.
Test including simultaneous write into 4 files with recordsize of 4KB
on a striped pool of 30 disks on a system with 40 logical cores show
reduction of vdev queue lock contention from 54 to 27% due to better
load distribution. Unfortunately it won't help much ZVOLs yet since
only one dataset/ZVOL is synced at a time, and so for the most part
only one allocator is used, but it may improve later.
While there, to reduce the number of pointer dereferences change
per-allocator storage for metaslab classes and groups from several
separate malloc()'s to variable length arrays at the ends of the
original class and group structures.

This patch adds a new top-level vdev type called dRAID, which stands
for Distributed parity RAID. This pool configuration allows all dRAID
vdevs to participate when rebuilding to a distributed hot spare device.
This can substantially reduce the total time required to restore full
parity to pool with a failed device.
A dRAID pool can be created using the new top-level `draid` type.
Like `raidz`, the desired redundancy is specified after the type:
`draid[1,2,3]`. No additional information is required to create the
pool and reasonable default values will be chosen based on the number
of child vdevs in the dRAID vdev.
zpool create <pool> draid[1,2,3] <vdevs...>
Unlike raidz, additional optional dRAID configuration values can be
provided as part of the draid type as colon separated values. This
allows administrators to fully specify a layout for either performance
or capacity reasons. The supported options include:
zpool create <pool> \
draid[<parity>][:<data>d][:<children>c][:<spares>s] \
<vdevs...>
- draid[parity] - Parity level (default 1)
- draid[:<data>d] - Data devices per group (default 8)
- draid[:<children>c] - Expected number of child vdevs
- draid[:<spares>s] - Distributed hot spares (default 0)

When adding test coverage for the new dRAID vdev type the following

by zloop.sh to test a wide range of dRAID configurations.
-K draid|raidz|random - kind of RAID to test
-D <value> - dRAID data drives per group

-R <value> - RAID parity (raidz or dRAID)
The zpool_create, zpool_import, redundancy, replacement and fault

This PR adds two new compression types, based on ZStandard:
- zstd: A basic ZStandard compression algorithm Available compression.
Levels for zstd are zstd-1 through zstd-19, where the compression
increases with every level, but speed decreases.
- zstd-fast: A faster version of the ZStandard compression algorithm
zstd-fast is basically a "negative" level of zstd. The compression
decreases with every level, but speed increases.
Available compression levels for zstd-fast:
- zstd-fast-1 through zstd-fast-10
- zstd-fast-20 through zstd-fast-100 (in increments of 10)
- zstd-fast-500 and zstd-fast-1000
For more information check the man page.
Implementation details:
Rather than treat each level of zstd as a different algorithm (as was
done historically with gzip), the block pointer `enum zio_compress`
value is simply zstd for all levels, including zstd-fast, since they all
use the same decompression function.
The compress= property (a 64bit unsigned integer) uses the lower 7 bits
to store the compression algorithm (matching the number of bits used in
a block pointer, as the 8th bit was borrowed for embedded block
pointers). The upper bits are used to store the compression level.
It is necessary to be able to determine what compression level was used
when later reading a block back, so the concept used in LZ4, where the
first 32bits of the on-disk value are the size of the compressed data
(since the allocation is rounded up to the nearest ashift), was
extended, and we store the version of ZSTD and the level as well as the
compressed size. This value is returned when decompressing a block, so
that if the block needs to be recompressed (L2ARC, nop-write, etc), that
the same parameters will be used to result in the matching checksum.
All of the internal ZFS code ( `arc_buf_hdr_t`, `objset_t`,
`zio_prop_t`, etc.) uses the separated _compress and _complevel
variables. Only the properties ZAP contains the combined/bit-shifted
value. The combined value is split when the compression_changed_cb()
callback is called, and sets both objset members (os_compress and
os_complevel).
The userspace tools all use the combined/bit-shifted value.
Additional notes:
zdb can now also decode the ZSTD compression header (flag -Z) and
inspect the size, version and compression level saved in that header.
For each record, if it is ZSTD compressed, the parameters of the decoded
compression header get printed.
ZSTD is included with all current tests and new tests are added
as-needed.
Per-dataset feature flags now get activated when the property is set.
If a compression algorithm requires a feature flag, zfs activates the
feature when the property is set, rather than waiting for the first
block to be born. This is currently only used by zstd but can be
extended as needed.

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.

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.

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.

= 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.

When reading kstats, the health (aka state) of the pool is stored into
/proc/spl/kstat/zfs/POOLNAME/state via spa_state_to_name().
However, during import/export there is a case where the spa exists,
but the root vdev does not exist. This fix checks that case and sets
the state to "TRANSITIONING"
Unfortunately, it is not easy to reproduce a test for this. It was
detected randomly during ZTS runs while kstats were also being sampled
regularly. After this change, further testing did not trip on the case
and the TRANSITIONING state was collected at least once by the kstats.

When an import requires a long MMP activity check, or when the user
requests pool recovery, the import make take a long time. The user may
not know why, or be able to tell whether the import is progressing or is
hung.
Add a kstat which lists all imports currently being processed by the
kernel (currently only one at a time is possible, but the kstat allows
for more than one). The kstat is /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/import_progress.
The kstat contents are as follows:
pool_guid load_state multihost_secs max_txg pool_name
16667015954387398 3 15 0 tank3
load_state: the value of spa_load_state
multihost_secs: seconds until the end of the multihost activity
check; if over, or none required, this is 0
max_txg: current spa_load_max_txg, if rewind is occurring
This could be used by outside tools, such as a pacemaker resource agent,
to report import progress, or as a part of manual troubleshooting. The
zpool import subcommand could also be modified to report this
information.

UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help
prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other
SAN-like storage back-ends. By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for
sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can
often more efficiently manage itself.
This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize`
feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the
pool. The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate()
code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per-
vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for
a consistent user experience. The core difference is that
instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands
for those extents.
The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new
ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq. This new type makes
is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls
to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c. These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are
handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs.
This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline,
one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size
limit since they contain no data.
In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background
automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim'
property. It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the
manual TRIM. However, instead of relying on the extents in a
metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept
per metaslab. When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the
ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree. The
ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim
thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs.
Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small
there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`. This
may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time
was allowed to aggregate them. An automatic TRIM and a manual
`zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic
TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

Instead of choosing a leaf vdev quasi-randomly, by starting at the root
vdev and randomly choosing children, rotate over leaves to issue MMP
writes. This fixes an issue in a pool whose top-level vdevs have
different numbers of leaves.
The issue is that the frequency at which individual leaves are chosen
for MMP writes is based not on the total number of leaves but based on
how many siblings the leaves have.
For example, in a pool like this:
root-vdev
+------+---------------+
vdev1 vdev2
| |
| +------+-----+-----+----+
disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4 disk5 disk6
vdev1 and vdev2 will each be chosen 50% of the time. Every time vdev1
is chosen, disk1 will be chosen. However, every time vdev2 is chosen,
disk2 is chosen 20% of the time. As a result, disk1 will be sent 5x as
many MMP writes as disk2.
This may create wear issues in the case of SSDs. It also reduces the
effectiveness of MMP as it depends on the writes being evenly
distributed for the case where some devices fail or are partitioned.
The new code maintains a list of leaf vdevs in the pool. MMP records
the last leaf used for an MMP write in mmp->mmp_last_leaf. To choose
the next leaf, MMP starts at mmp->mmp_last_leaf and traverses the list,
continuing from the head if the tail is reached. It stops when a
suitable leaf is found or all leaves have been examined.
Added a test to verify MMP write distribution is even.
