ca5777793e Reduce loaded range tree memory usage
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.

5d43cc9a59 OpenZFS 9689 - zfs range lock code should not be zpl-specific
The ZFS range locking code in zfs_rlock.c/h depends on ZPL-specific
data structures, specifically znode_t.  However, it's also used by
the ZVOL code, which uses a "dummy" znode_t to pass to the range
locking code.

We should clean this up so that the range locking code is generic
and can be used equally by ZPL and ZVOL, and also can be used by
future consumers that may need to run in userland (libzpool) as
well as the kernel.

Porting notes:
* Added missing sys/avl.h include to sys/zfs_rlock.h.
* Removed 'dbuf is within the locked range' ASSERTs from dmu_sync().
  This was needed because ztest does not yet use a locked_range_t.
* Removed "Approved by:" tag requirement from OpenZFS commit
  check to prevent needless warnings when integrating changes
  which has not been merged to illumos.
* Reverted free_list range lock changes which were originally
  needed to defer the cv_destroy() which was called immediately
  after cv_broadcast().  With d2733258 this should be safe but
  if not we may need to reintroduce this logic.
* Reverts: The following two commits were reverted and squashed in
  to this change in order to make it easier to apply OpenZFS 9689.
  - d88895a0, which removed the dummy znode from zvol_state
  - e3a07cd0, which updated ztest to use range locks
* Preserved optimized rangelock comparison function.  Preserved the
  rangelock free list.  The cv_destroy() function will block waiting
  for all processes in cv_wait() to be scheduled and drop their
  reference.  This is done to ensure it's safe to free the condition
  variable.  However, blocking while holding the rl->rl_lock mutex
  can result in a deadlock on Linux.  A free list is introduced to
  defer the cv_destroy() and kmem_free() until after the mutex is
  released.

ee36c709c3 Performance optimization of AVL tree comparator functions
perf: 2.75x faster ddt_entry_compare()
    First 256bits of ddt_key_t is a block checksum, which are expected
to be close to random data. Hence, on average, comparison only needs to
look at first few bytes of the keys. To reduce number of conditional
jump instructions, the result is computed as: sign(memcmp(k1, k2)).

which is computed efficiently.  Synthetic performance evaluation of

d88895a069 Remove dummy znode from zvol_state
struct zvol_state contains a dummy znode, which is around 1KB on x64,
only for zfs_range_lock. But in reality, other than z_range_lock and
z_range_avl, zfs_range_lock only need znode on regular file, which
means we add 1KB on a structure and gain nothing.

In this patch, we remove the dummy znode for zvol_state. In order to
do that, we also need to refactor zfs_range_lock a bit. We move
z_range_lock and z_range_avl pair out of znode_t to form zfs_rlock_t.
This new struct replaces znode_t as the main handle inside the range
lock functions.

We also add pointers to z_size, z_blksz, and z_max_blksz so range lock
code doesn't depend on znode_t.  This allows non-ZPL consumers like
Lustre to use the range locks with their equivalent znode_t structure.

79c76d5b65 Change KM_PUSHPAGE -> KM_SLEEP
By marking DMU transaction processing contexts with PF_FSTRANS
we can revert the KM_PUSHPAGE -> KM_SLEEP changes.  This brings
us back in line with upstream.  In some cases this means simply
swapping the flags back.  For others fnvlist_alloc() was replaced
by nvlist_alloc(..., KM_PUSHPAGE) and must be reverted back to
fnvlist_alloc() which assumes KM_SLEEP.

The one place KM_PUSHPAGE is kept is when allocating ARC buffers
which allows us to dip in to reserved memory.  This is again the
same as upstream.

b8d06fca08 Switch KM_SLEEP to KM_PUSHPAGE
Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.

  * The txg_sync thread
  * The zvol write/discard threads
  * The zpl_putpage() VFS callback

This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages.  If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system.  To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.

Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread.  However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA.  This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.

450dc149bd Range lock performance improvements
The original range lock implementation had to be modified by commit
8926ab7 because it was unsafe on Linux.  In particular, calling
cv_destroy() immediately after cv_broadcast() is dangerous because
the waiters may still be asleep.  Thus the following cv_destroy()
will free memory which may still be in use.

This was fixed by updating cv_destroy() to block on waiters but
this in turn introduced a deadlock.  The deadlock was resolved
with the use of a taskq to move the offending free outside the
range lock.  This worked well but using the taskq for the free
resulted in a serious performace hit.  This is somewhat ironic
because at the time I felt using the taskq might improve things
by making the free asynchronous.

This patch refines the original fix and moves the free from the
taskq to a private free list.  Then items which must be free'd
are simply inserted in to the list.  When the range lock is dropped
it's safe to free the items.  The list is walked and all rl_t
entries are freed.

This change improves small cached read performance by 26x.  This
was expected because for small reads the number of locking calls
goes up significantly.  More surprisingly this change significantly
improves large cache read performance.  This probably attributable
to better cpu/memory locality.  Very likely the same processor
which allocated the memory is now freeing it.

8926ab7a50 Move cv_destroy() outside zp->z_range_lock()
With the recent SPL change (d599e4fa) that forces cv_destroy()
to block until all waiters have been woken.  It is now unsafe
to call cv_destroy() under the zp->z_range_lock() because it
is used as the condition variable mutex.  If there are waiters
cv_destroy() will block until they wake up and aquire the mutex.
However, they will never aquire the mutex because cv_destroy()
will not return allowing it's caller to drop the lock.  Deadlock.

To avoid this cv_destroy() is now run asynchronously in a taskq.
This solves two problems:

1) It is no longer run under the zp->z_range_lock so no deadlock.
2) Since cv_destroy() may now block we don't want this slowing
   down zfs_range_unlock() and throttling the system.

This was not as much of an issue under OpenSolaris because their
cv_destroy() implementation does not do anything.  They do however
risk a bad paging request if cv_destroy() returns, the memory holding
the condition variable is free'd, and then the waiters wake up and
try to reference it.  It's a very small unlikely race, but it is
possible.

it is operation of the zvol of zpl dataset.  This used to be
keyed off the zp->z_vnode, which was a hack to begin with, but
with the removal of vnodes we needed a dedicated flag.

3558fd73b5 Prototype/structure update for Linux
I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit.
When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing
that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure
there's much merrit in it.  As such I'll just summerize the intent
of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit.  Broadly
the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible
and replace it with native Linux equivilants.  More specifically:

1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t.  While the
type is largely the same calling it private super block data
rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names
this.  While non critical it makes the code easier to read when
your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms.

2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode.  The Linux VFS doesn't have
the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to
create one.  There are in fact several good reasons to remove it.
It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it
conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's
a good change it will be out of date.  The code has been updated
to remove all need for this type.

3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types.  Along with this shift
all uses of types to mode bits.  The Solaris code would pass a
vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode.  Just update all the
code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy.

4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with
inode helpers.  The big example here is creating iput_aync to
replace vn_rele_async.  Other vn helpers will be addressed as
needed but they should be be emulated.  They are a Solaris VFS'ism
and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants.

5) Update znode alloc/free code.  Under Linux it's common to
embed the inode specific data with the inode itself.  This removes
the need for an extra memory allocation.  In zfs this information
is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it.  Allocators
have been updated accordingly.

6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the
super block and handling mount options has been added this
code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there.

This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.
