= 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.

stock- sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/NumberOfPassesPerTXGStock.png
lsm- sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/NumberOfPassesPerTXGLSM.png]
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.

Problem Statement
=================
ZFS Channel program scripts currently require a timeout, so that hung or
long-running scripts return a timeout error instead of causing ZFS to get
wedged. This limit can currently be set up to 100 million Lua instructions.
Even with a limit in place, it would be desirable to have a sys admin
(support engineer) be able to cancel a script that is taking a long time.
Proposed Solution
=================
Make it possible to abort a channel program by sending an interrupt signal.In
the underlying txg_wait_sync function, switch the cv_wait to a cv_wait_sig to
catch the signal. Once a signal is encountered, the dsl_sync_task function can
install a Lua hook that will get called before the Lua interpreter executes a
new line of code. The dsl_sync_task can resume with a standard txg_wait_sync
call and wait for the txg to complete. Meanwhile, the hook will abort the
script and indicate that the channel program was canceled. The kernel returns
a EINTR to indicate that the channel program run was canceled.
Porting notes: Added missing return value from cv_wait_sig()

Redacted send/receive allows users to send subsets of their data to
a target system. One possible use case for this feature is to not
transmit sensitive information to a data warehousing, test/dev, or
analytics environment. Another is to save space by not replicating
unimportant data within a given dataset, for example in backup tools
like zrepl.
Redacted send/receive is a three-stage process. First, a clone (or
clones) is made of the snapshot to be sent to the target. In this
clone (or clones), all unnecessary or unwanted data is removed or
modified. This clone is then snapshotted to create the "redaction
snapshot" (or snapshots). Second, the new zfs redact command is used
to create a redaction bookmark. The redaction bookmark stores the
list of blocks in a snapshot that were modified by the redaction
snapshot(s). Finally, the redaction bookmark is passed as a parameter
to zfs send. When sending to the snapshot that was redacted, the
redaction bookmark is used to filter out blocks that contain sensitive
or unwanted information, and those blocks are not included in the send
stream. When sending from the redaction bookmark, the blocks it
contains are considered as candidate blocks in addition to those
blocks in the destination snapshot that were modified since the
creation_txg of the redaction bookmark. This step is necessary to
allow the target to rehydrate data in the case where some blocks are
accidentally or unnecessarily modified in the redaction snapshot.
The changes to bookmarks to enable fast space estimation involve
adding deadlists to bookmarks. There is also logic to manage the
life cycles of these deadlists.
The new size estimation process operates in cases where previously
an accurate estimate could not be provided. In those cases, a send
is performed where no data blocks are read, reducing the runtime
significantly and providing a byte-accurate size estimate.

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.

The TXGs that are getting synced and don't have lots of changes are pushed by
txg_kick() which basically forces the current open txg to get to the quiesced
state:
if (tx->tx_syncing_txg == 0 &&
tx->tx_quiesce_txg_waiting <= tx->tx_open_txg &&
tx->tx_sync_txg_waiting <= tx->tx_synced_txg &&
tx->tx_quiesced_txg <= tx->tx_synced_txg) {
tx->tx_quiesce_txg_waiting = tx->tx_open_txg + 1;
cv_broadcast(&tx->tx_quiesce_more_cv);
}
The problem is that the above code doesn't check if we are currently quiescing
anything (only if a quiesce or a sync has been requested, ..etc) so the
following scenario can happen:
1] We have an open txg A that had enough dirty data (more than
zfs_dirty_data_sync) and it was pushed to the quiesced state, and opened
a new txg B. No txg is currently being synced.
2] Immediately after the opening of B, txg_kick() was run by some other write
(and because of A's dirty data) and saw that we are not currently syncing
any txg and no one has requested quiescing so it requests one by bumping
tx_quiesce_txg_waiting and broadcasts the quiesce thread.
3] The quiesce thread just passed txg A to be synced and sees that a quiescing
request has been sent to it so it immediately grabs B without letting it
gather enough data, putting it in a quiesced state and opening a new txg C.
In this scenario txg B, is an example of how the entries of interest show up in
the txg.d output.
Ideally we would like txg_kick() to get triggered only when we are sure that
we are not syncing AND not quiescing any txg. This way we can kick an open TXG
to the quiescing state when we are sure that there is nothing going on and we
would benefit from the different states running concurrently.

OpenZFS 7614 - zfs device evacuation/removal
OpenZFS 9064 - remove_mirror should wait for device removal to complete
This project allows top-level vdevs to be removed from the storage pool
with "zpool remove", reducing the total amount of storage in the pool.
This operation copies all allocated regions of the device to be removed
onto other devices, recording the mapping from old to new location.
After the removal is complete, read and free operations to the removed
(now "indirect") vdev must be remapped and performed at the new location
on disk. The indirect mapping table is kept in memory whenever the pool
is loaded, so there is minimal performance overhead when doing operations
on the indirect vdev.
The size of the in-memory mapping table will be reduced when its entries
become "obsolete" because they are no longer used by any block pointers
in the pool. An entry becomes obsolete when all the blocks that use
it are freed. An entry can also become obsolete when all the snapshots
that reference it are deleted, and the block pointers that reference it
have been "remapped" in all filesystems/zvols (and clones). Whenever an
indirect block is written, all the block pointers in it will be "remapped"
to their new (concrete) locations if possible. This process can be
accelerated by using the "zfs remap" command to proactively rewrite all
indirect blocks that reference indirect (removed) vdevs.
Note that when a device is removed, we do not verify the checksum of
the data that is copied. This makes the process much faster, but if it
were used on redundant vdevs (i.e. mirror or raidz vdevs), it would be
possible to copy the wrong data, when we have the correct data on e.g.
the other side of the mirror.
At the moment, only mirrors and simple top-level vdevs can be removed
and no removal is allowed if any of the top-level vdevs are raidz.
Porting Notes:
* Avoid zero-sized kmem_alloc() in vdev_compact_children().
The device evacuation code adds a dependency that
vdev_compact_children() be able to properly empty the vdev_child
array by setting it to NULL and zeroing vdev_children. Under Linux,
kmem_alloc() and related functions return a sentinel pointer rather
than NULL for zero-sized allocations.
* Remove comment regarding "mpt" driver where zfs_remove_max_segment
is initialized to SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
Change zfs_condense_indirect_commit_entry_delay_ticks to
zfs_condense_indirect_commit_entry_delay_ms for consistency with
most other tunables in which delays are specified in ms.
* ZTS changes:
Use set_tunable rather than mdb
Use zpool sync as appropriate
Use sync_pool instead of sync
Kill jobs during test_removal_with_operation to allow unmount/export
Don't add non-disk names such as "mirror" or "raidz" to $DISKS
Use $TEST_BASE_DIR instead of /tmp
Increase HZ from 100 to 1000 which is more common on Linux
removal_multiple_indirection.ksh
Reduce iterations in order to not time out on the code
coverage builders.
removal_resume_export:
Functionally, the test case is correct but there exists a race
where the kernel thread hasn't been fully started yet and is
not visible. Wait for up to 1 second for the removal thread
to be started before giving up on it. Also, increase the
amount of data copied in order that the removal not finish
before the export has a chance to fail.
* MMP compatibility, the concept of concrete versus non-concrete devices
has slightly changed the semantics of vdev_writeable(). Update
mmp_random_leaf_impl() accordingly.
* Updated dbuf_remap() to handle the org.zfsonlinux:large_dnode pool
feature which is not supported by OpenZFS.
* Added support for new vdev removal tracepoints.
* Test cases removal_with_zdb and removal_condense_export have been
intentionally disabled. When run manually they pass as intended,
but when running in the automated test environment they produce
unreliable results on the latest Fedora release.
They may work better once the upstream pool import refectoring is
merged into ZoL at which point they will be re-enabled.

Problem
=======
The current implementation of zil_commit() can introduce significant
latency, beyond what is inherent due to the latency of the underlying
storage. The additional latency comes from two main problems:
1. When there's outstanding ZIL blocks being written (i.e. there's
already a "writer thread" in progress), then any new calls to
zil_commit() will block waiting for the currently oustanding ZIL
blocks to complete. The blocks written for each "writer thread" is
coined a "batch", and there can only ever be a single "batch" being
written at a time. When a batch is being written, any new ZIL
transactions will have to wait for the next batch to be written,
which won't occur until the current batch finishes.
As a result, the underlying storage may not be used as efficiently
as possible. While "new" threads enter zil_commit() and are blocked
waiting for the next batch, it's possible that the underlying
storage isn't fully utilized by the current batch of ZIL blocks. In
that case, it'd be better to allow these new threads to generate
(and issue) a new ZIL block, such that it could be serviced by the
underlying storage concurrently with the other ZIL blocks that are
being serviced.
2. Any call to zil_commit() must wait for all ZIL blocks in its "batch"
to complete, prior to zil_commit() returning. The size of any given
batch is proportional to the number of ZIL transaction in the queue
at the time that the batch starts processing the queue; which
doesn't occur until the previous batch completes. Thus, if there's a
lot of transactions in the queue, the batch could be composed of
many ZIL blocks, and each call to zil_commit() will have to wait for
all of these writes to complete (even if the thread calling
zil_commit() only cared about one of the transactions in the batch).
To further complicate the situation, these two issues result in the
following side effect:
3. If a given batch takes longer to complete than normal, this results
in larger batch sizes, which then take longer to complete and
further drive up the latency of zil_commit(). This can occur for a
number of reasons, including (but not limited to): transient changes
in the workload, and storage latency irregularites.
Solution
========
The solution attempted by this change has the following goals:
1. no on-disk changes; maintain current on-disk format.
2. modify the "batch size" to be equal to the "ZIL block size".
3. allow new batches to be generated and issued to disk, while there's
already batches being serviced by the disk.
4. allow zil_commit() to wait for as few ZIL blocks as possible.
5. use as few ZIL blocks as possible, for the same amount of ZIL
transactions, without introducing significant latency to any
individual ZIL transaction. i.e. use fewer, but larger, ZIL blocks.
In theory, with these goals met, the new allgorithm will allow the
following improvements:
1. new ZIL blocks can be generated and issued, while there's already
oustanding ZIL blocks being serviced by the storage.
2. the latency of zil_commit() should be proportional to the underlying
storage latency, rather than the incoming synchronous workload.
Porting Notes
=============
Due to the changes made in commit 119a394ab0, the lifetime of an itx
structure differs than in OpenZFS. Specifically, the itx structure is
kept around until the data associated with the itx is considered to be
safe on disk; this is so that the itx's callback can be called after the
data is committed to stable storage. Since OpenZFS doesn't have this itx
callback mechanism, it's able to destroy the itx structure immediately
after the itx is committed to an lwb (before the lwb is written to
disk).
To support this difference, and to ensure the itx's callbacks can still
be called after the itx's data is on disk, a few changes had to be made:
* A list of itxs was added to the lwb structure. This list contains
all of the itxs that have been committed to the lwb, such that the
callbacks for these itxs can be called from zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(),
after the data for the itxs is committed to disk.
* A list of itxs was added on the stack of the zil_process_commit_list()
function; the "nolwb_itxs" list. In some circumstances, an itx may
not be committed to an lwb (e.g. if allocating the "next" ZIL block
on disk fails), so this list is used to keep track of which itxs
fall into this state, such that their callbacks can be called after
the ZIL's writer pipeline is "stalled".
* The logic to actually call the itx's callback was moved into the
zil_itx_destroy() function. Since all consumers of zil_itx_destroy()
were effectively performing the same logic (i.e. if callback is
non-null, call the callback), it seemed like useful code cleanup to
consolidate this logic into a single function.
Additionally, the existing Linux tracepoint infrastructure dealing with
the ZIL's probes and structures had to be updated to reflect these code
changes. Specifically:
* The "zil__cw1" and "zil__cw2" probes were removed, so they had to be
removed from "trace_zil.h" as well.
* Some of the zilog structure's fields were removed, which affected
the tracepoint definitions of the structure.
* New tracepoints had to be added for the following 3 new probes:
* zil__process__commit__itx
* zil__process__normal__itx
* zil__commit__io__error

* Simplify threads, mutexs, cvs and rwlocks
* Update the zk_thread_create() function to use the same trick
as Illumos. Specifically, cast the new pthread_t to a void
pointer and return that as the kthread_t *. This avoids the
issues associated with managing a wrapper structure and is
safe as long as the callers never attempt to dereference it.
* Update all function prototypes passed to pthread_create() to
match the expected prototype. We were getting away this with
before since the function were explicitly cast.
* Replaced direct zk_thread_create() calls with thread_create()
for code consistency. All consumers of libzpool now use the
proper wrappers.
* The mutex_held() calls were converted to MUTEX_HELD().
* Removed all mutex_owner() calls and retired the interface.
Instead use MUTEX_HELD() which provides the same information
and allows the implementation details to be hidden. In this
case the use of the pthread_equals() function.
* The kthread_t, kmutex_t, krwlock_t, and krwlock_t types had
any non essential fields removed. In the case of kthread_t
and kcondvar_t they could be directly typedef'd to pthread_t
and pthread_cond_t respectively.
* Removed all extra ASSERTS from the thread, mutex, rwlock, and
cv wrapper functions. In practice, pthreads already provides
the vast majority of checks as long as we check the return
code. Removing this code from our wrappers help readability.
* Added TS_JOINABLE state flag to pass to request a joinable rather
than detached thread. This isn't a standard thread_create() state
but it's the least invasive way to pass this information and is
only used by ztest.

When running a kernel with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y, lockdep reports possible
recursive locking in some cases and possible circular locking dependency
in others, within the SPL and ZFS modules.
This patch uses a mutex type defined in SPL, MUTEX_NOLOCKDEP, to mark
such mutexes when they are initialized. This mutex type causes
attempts to take or release those locks to be wrapped in lockdep_off()
and lockdep_on() calls to silence the dependency checker and allow the
use of lock_stats to examine contention.
For RW locks, it uses an analogous lock type, RW_NOLOCKDEP.
The goal is that these locks are ultimately changed back to type
MUTEX_DEFAULT or RW_DEFAULT, after the locks are annotated to reflect
their relationship (e.g. z_name_lock below) or any real problem with the
lock dependencies are fixed.
Some of the affected locks are:
tc_open_lock:
=============
This is an array of locks, all with same name, which txg_quiesce must
take all of in order to move txg to next state. All default to the same
lockdep class, and so to lockdep appears recursive.
zp->z_name_lock:
================
In zfs_rmdir,
dzp = znode for the directory (input to zfs_dirent_lock)
zp = znode for the entry being removed (output of zfs_dirent_lock)
zfs_rmdir()->zfs_dirent_lock() takes z_name_lock in dzp
zfs_rmdir() takes z_name_lock in zp
Since both dzp and zp are type znode_t, the locks have the same default
class, and lockdep considers it a possible recursive lock attempt.
l->l_rwlock:
============
zap_expand_leaf() sometimes creates two new zap leaf structures, via
these call paths:
zap_deref_leaf()->zap_get_leaf_byblk()->zap_leaf_open()
zap_expand_leaf()->zap_create_leaf()->zap_expand_leaf()->zap_create_leaf()
Because both zap_leaf_open() and zap_create_leaf() initialize
l->l_rwlock in their (separate) leaf structures, the lockdep class is
the same, and the linux kernel believes these might both be the same
lock, and emits a possible recursive lock warning.

Note that under Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted
with respect to illumos. High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority
while high value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.
In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.

Over the years the default values for the taskqs used on Linux have
differed slightly from illumos. In the vast majority of cases this
was done to avoid creating an obnoxious number of idle threads which
would pollute the process listing.
With the addition of support for dynamic taskqs all multi-threaded
queues should be created as dynamic taskqs. This allows us to get
the best of both worlds.
* The illumos default values for the I/O pipeline can be restored.
These values are known to work well for most workloads. The only
exception is the zio write interrupt taskq which is changed to
ZTI_P(12, 8). At least under Linux more threads has been shown
to improve performance, see commit 7e55f4e.
* Reduces the number of idle threads on the system when it's not
under heavy load. The maximum number of threads will only be
created when they are required.
* Remove the vdev_file_taskq and rely on the system_taskq instead
which is now dynamic and may have up to 64-threads. Again this
brings us back inline with upstream.
* Tasks dispatched with taskq_dispatch_ent() are allowed to use
dynamic taskqs. The Linux taskq implementation supports this.

Older versions of GCC (e.g. GCC 4.4.7 on RHEL6) do not allow duplicate
typedef declarations with the same type. The trace.h header contains
some typedefs to avoid 'unknown type' errors for C files that haven't
declared the type in question. But this causes build failures for C
files that have already declared the type. Newer versions of GCC (e.g.
v4.6) allow duplicate typedefs with the same type unless pedantic error
checking is in force. To support the older versions we need to remove
the duplicate typedefs.
Removal of the typedefs means we can't built tracepoints code using
those types unless the required headers have been included. To
facilitate this, all tracepoint event declarations have been moved out
of trace.h into separate headers. Each new header is explicitly included
from the C file that uses the events defined therein. The trace.h header
is still indirectly included form zfs_context.h and provides the
implementation of the dprintf(), dbgmsg(), and SET_ERROR() interfaces.
This makes those interfaces readily available throughout the code base.
The macros that redefine DTRACE_PROBE* to use Linux tracepoints are also
still provided by trace.h, so it is a prerequisite for the other
trace_*.h headers.
These new Linux implementation-specific headers do introduce a small
divergence from upstream ZFS in several core C files, but this should
not present a significant maintenance burden.

The nreserved column in the txgs kstat file always contains 0
following the write throttle restructuring of commit
e8b96c6007.
Prior to that commit, the nreserved column showed the number of bytes
temporarily reserved in the pool by a transaction group at sync time.
The new write throttle did away with temporary reservations and uses
the amount of dirty data instead. To approximate the old output of
the txgs kstat, the number of dirty bytes per-txg was passed in as
the nreserved value to spa_txg_history_set_io(). This approach did
not work as intended, because the per-txg dirty value is decremented
as data is written out to disk, so it is zero by the time we call
spa_txg_history_set_io(). To fix this, save the number of dirty
bytes before calling spa_sync(), and pass this value in to
spa_txg_history_set_io().
Also, since the name "nreserved" is now a misnomer, the column
heading is now labeled "ndirty".

Issue #1696
When transitioning current open TXG into QUIESCE state and opening
a new one txg_quiesce() calls gethrtime():
- to mark the birth time of the new TXG
- to record the SPA txg history kstat
- implicitely inside spa_txg_history_add()
These timestamps are practically the same, so that the first one
can be used instead of the other two. The only visible difference
is that inside spa_txg_history_add() the time spent in kmem_zalloc()
will be counted towards the opened TXG.
Since at this point the new TXG already exists (tx->tx_open_txg
has been already incremented) it is actually a correct accounting.
In any case this extra work is only happening when spa_txg_history
kstat is activated (i.e. zfs_txg_history > 0) and doesn't affect

However only first txg (985454) is really syncing at this moment.
The other one (985455) marked as SYNCED is actually in a post-QUIESCED
state and waiting to start sync. So, the new TXG_STATE_WAIT_FOR_SYNC
state between TXG_STATE_QUIESCED and TXG_STATE_SYNCED was added to
reveal this situation.

Issue #2075
The vast majority of these changes are in Linux specific code.
They are the result of not having an automated style checker to
validate the code when it was originally written. Others were
caused when the common code was slightly adjusted for Linux.
This patch contains no functional changes. It only refreshes
the code to conform to style guide.
Everyone submitting patches for inclusion upstream should now
run 'make checkstyle' and resolve any warning prior to opening
a pull request. The automated builders have been updated to
fail a build if when 'make checkstyle' detects an issue.

4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work
1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync
read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler
issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class
has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator
algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of
concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve
good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write
throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced
below) for more details.
2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and
txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays
when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of
dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When
there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be
delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait"
that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several
seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is
decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end
of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o
scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the
block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for
more details.
This diff has several other effects, including:
* the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed;
use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead.
* the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the
time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer
an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data.
Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is
always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal.
Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this.
* zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression,
checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks
to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is
rounded up).

APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler
The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem
with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of
i/os can see very long delays.
For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async
writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this
situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds
(typically 3 seconds).
If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must
service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we
enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in
the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because
there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we
must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes)
before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous
i/os (reads or ZIL writes).
Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux:
- zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because
object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at
allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved
from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two
new fields.
- vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue
(vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from.
This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used
for the same purpose.
- vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine
the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer
exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of
the five I/O classes described above.
- The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by
sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread
(curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in
Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called
zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other
downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic.
- These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added
to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page.

The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in
Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but
means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures.
The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most
likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM
sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to
2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes
it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable
zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this
solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a
reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected
systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults.
- Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration.
- Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take
effect.
- Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file
with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts
how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty
data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how
many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which
we expect to never happen).
- The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in
zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.
A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate().
- In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the
heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large
structures on the stack.

Issue #1775
Porting Notes:
1. The alignment assumptions for the tx_cpu structure assume that
a kmutex_t is 8 bytes. This isn't true under Linux but tc_pad[]
was adjusted anyway for consistency since this structure was
never carefully aligned in ZoL. If careful alignment does impact
performance significantly this should be reworked to be portable.
This change is an attempt to add visibility in to how txgs are being
formed on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to txg. These entries are then exported through the kstat
interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each txg, the following information is exported:
* Unique txg number (uint64_t)
* The time the txd was born (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The current txg state ((O)pen/(Q)uiescing/(S)yncing/(C)ommitted)
* The number of reserved bytes for the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes read during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes written during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of read operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of write operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The time the txg was closed (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was quiesced (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was synced (hrtime_t)
Note that while the raw kstat now stores relative hrtimes for the
open, quiesce, and sync times. Those relative times are used to
calculate how long each state took and these deltas and printed by
output handlers.

A deadlock was accidentally introduced by commit e95853a which
can occur when the system is under memory pressure. What happens
is that while the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu
locks it enters memory reclaim. In the context of this memory
reclaim it then issues synchronous I/O to a ZVOL swap device.
Because the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks
a new txg cannot be opened to handle the I/O. Deadlock.
The fix is straight forward. Move the memory allocation outside
the critical region where the tx->tx_cpu locks are held. And for
good measure change the offending allocation to KM_PUSHPAGE to
ensure it never attempts to issue I/O during reclaim.

Allow the zfs_txg_timeout variable to be dynamically tuned at run
time. By pulling it down out of the variable declaration it will
be evaluted each time through the loop.
The zfs_txg_timeout variable is now declared extern in a the common
sys/txg.h header rather than locally in dsl_scan.c. This prevents
potential type mismatches if the global variable needs to be used
elsewhere.
Move the module_param() code in to the same source file where
zfs_txg_timeout is declared. This is the most logical location.

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.
This is patch lays the ground work for being able to safely revert the
following commits which used PF_MEMALLOC:

Issue #726
The txg_sync(), zfs_putpage(), zvol_write(), and zvol_discard()
call paths must only use KM_PUSHPAGE to avoid potential deadlocks
during direct reclaim.
This patch annotates these call paths so any accidental use of
KM_SLEEP will be quickly detected. In the interest of stability
if debugging is disabled the offending allocation will have its
GFP flags automatically corrected. When debugging is enabled
any misuse will be treated as a fatal error.
This patch is entirely for debugging. We should be careful to
NOT become dependant on it fixing up the incorrect allocations.
