OpenZFS-issue: https://www.illumos.org/issues/6513
OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/8df0bcf0

If a ZFS object contains a hole at level one, and then a data block is
created at level 0 underneath that l1 block, l0 holes will be created.
However, these l0 holes do not have the birth time property set; as a
result, incremental sends will not send those holes.

Fix is to modify the dbuf_read code to fill in birth time data.

Porting notes:
- ZoL currently does not log discards to zvols, so the portion of
  this patch that modifies the discard logging to mark it as
  freeing space has been discarded.

2. may_delete_now had been removed from zfs_remove() in ZoL.
   It has been reintroduced.

3. We do not try to emulate vnodes, so the following lines are
   not valid on Linux:

	mutex_enter(&vp->v_lock);
	may_delete_now = vp->v_count == 1 && !vn_has_cached_data(vp);
	mutex_exit(&vp->v_lock);

  This has been replaced with:

	mutex_enter(&zp->z_lock);
	may_delete_now = atomic_read(&ip->i_count) == 1 && !(zp->z_is_mapped);
	mutex_exit(&zp->z_lock);

37f9dac592 zvol processing should use struct bio
Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.

Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.

Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:

1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.

An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat.  Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.

Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

5475aada94 Linux 4.1 compat: loop device on ZFS
Starting from Linux 4.1 allows iov_iter with bio_vec to be passed into
iter_read/iter_write. Notably, the loop device will pass bio_vec to backend
filesystem. However, current ZFS code assumes iovec without any check, so it
will always crash when using loop device.

With the restructured uio_t, we can safely pass bio_vec in uio_t with UIO_BVEC
set. The uio* functions are modified to handle bio_vec case separately.

The const uio_iov causes some warning in xuio related stuff, so explicit
convert them to non const.

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.

efcd79a883 Retire KM_NODEBUG
Callers of kmem_alloc() which passed the KM_NODEBUG flag to suppress
the large allocation warning have been replaced by vmem_alloc() as
appropriate.  The updated vmem_alloc() call will not print a warning
regardless of the size of the allocation.

A careful reader will notice that not all callers have been changed
to vmem_alloc().  Some have only had the KM_NODEBUG flag removed.
This was possible because the default warning threshold has been
increased to 32k.  This is desirable because it minimizes the need
for Linux specific code changes.

Restore_object should not use two transactions to restore an object:
  * one transaction is used for dmu_object_claim
  * another transaction is used to set compression, checksum and most

  * furthermore dmu_object_reclaim internally uses multiple transactions
  * dmu_free_long_range frees chunks in separate transactions
  * dnode_reallocate is executed in a distinct transaction

The fact the dnode_allocate/dnode_reallocate are executed in one
transaction and bonus (re-)population is executed in a different
transaction may lead to violation of ZFS consistency assertions if the
transactions are assigned to different transaction groups.  Also, if
the first transaction group is successfully written to a permanent
storage, but the second transaction is lost, then an invalid dnode may
be created on the stable storage.

For compatibility with the fastpath code the zio_done() function
needed to be updated.  Because embedded-data block pointers do
not require DVAs to be allocated the associated vdevs will not
be marked and therefore should not be unmarked.

Description from Matt Ahrens's bug report at Delphix:

    Add a new zfs property, "redundant_metadata" which can have values
    "all" or "most".  The default will be "all", which is the current
    behavior.  Setting to "most" will cause us to only store 1 copy of
    level-1 indirect blocks of user data files.

Additional notes:

    The new man page section for this property states

        "The exact behavior of which metadata blocks
         are stored redundantly may change in future releases."

    and:

        "When set to most, ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of
         metadata. This can improve performance of random writes,
         because less metadata must be written."

    The current implementation is as described above in Matt's blog.
    It is controlled by a new global integer
    "zfs_redundant_metadata_most_ditto_level", currently initialized
    to 2. When "redundant_metadata" is set to "most", only indirect
    blocks of the specified level and higher will have additional ditto
    blocks created.

e8b96c6007 Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work
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).

--matt

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.

  spa_asize_inflation
  zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
  zfs_vdev_max_active
  zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent
  zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent
  zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active
  zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active
  zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active
  zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active
  zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active
  zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active
  zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active
  zfs_dirty_data_max_percent
  zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent
  zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent
  zfs_dirty_data_max
  zfs_dirty_data_max_max
  zfs_dirty_data_sync
  zfs_delay_scale

  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.

2. Part of the upstream patch made a small change to arc.c that might
   address zfsonlinux/zfs#1334.

3. The initialization of aclsize in zfs_log_create() differs because
   vsecp is a NULL pointer on ZFSOnLinux.

4. The changes to zfs_register_callbacks() were dropped because it

e0b0ca983d Add visibility in to cached dbufs
Currently there is no mechanism to inspect which dbufs are being
cached by the system.  There are some coarse counters in arcstats
by they only give a rough idea of what's being cached.  This patch
aims to improve the current situation by adding a new dbufs kstat.

When read this new kstat will walk all cached dbufs linked in to
the dbuf_hash.  For each dbuf it will dump detailed information
about the buffer.  It will also dump additional information about
the referenced arc buffer and its related dnode.  This provides a
more complete view in to exactly what is being cached.

With this generic infrastructure in place utilities can be written
to post-process the data to understand exactly how the caching is
working.  For example, the data could be processed to show a list
of all cached dnodes and how much space they're consuming.  Or a
similar list could be generated based on dnode type.  Many other
ways to interpret the data exist based on what kinds of questions
you're trying to answer.

e26ade5101 Fix zvol+btrfs hang
When using a zvol to back a btrfs filesystem the btrfs mount
would hang.  This was due to the bio completion callback used
in btrfs assuming that lower level drivers would never modify
the bio->bi_io_vecs after they were submitted via bio_submit().
If they are modified btrfs will miscalculate which pages need
to be unlocked resulting in a hang.

It's worth mentioning that other file systems such as ext[234]
and xfs work fine because they do not make the same assumption
in the bio completion callback.

The most straight forward way to fix the issue is to present
the semantics expected by btrfs.  This is done by cloning the
bios attached to each request and then using the clones bvecs
to perform the required accounting.  The clones are freed after
each read/write and the original unmodified bios are linked back
in to the request.

920dd524fb Add FASTWRITE algorithm for synchronous writes.
Currently, ZIL blocks are spread over vdevs using hint block pointers
managed by the ZIL commit code and passed to metaslab_alloc(). Spreading
log blocks accross vdevs is important for performance: indeed, using
mutliple disks in parallel decreases the ZIL commit latency, which is
the main performance metric for synchronous writes. However, the current
implementation suffers from the following issues:

1) It would be best if the ZIL module was not aware of such low-level
details. They should be handled by the ZIO and metaslab modules;

2) Because the hint block pointer is managed per log, simultaneous
commits from multiple logs might use the same vdevs at the same time,
which is inefficient;

3) Because dmu_write() does not honor the block pointer hint, indirect
writes are not spread.

The naive solution of rotating the metaslab rotor each time a block is
allocated for the ZIL or dmu_sync() doesn't work in practice because the
first ZIL block to be written is actually allocated during the previous
commit. Consequently, when metaslab_alloc() decides the vdev for this
block, it will do so while a bunch of other allocations are happening at
the same time (from dmu_sync() and other ZILs). This means the vdev for
this block is chosen more or less at random. When the next commit
happens, there is a high chance (especially when the number of blocks
per commit is slightly less than the number of the disks) that one disk
will have to write two blocks (with a potential seek) while other disks
are sitting idle, which defeats spreading and increases the commit
latency.

This commit introduces a new concept in the metaslab allocator:
fastwrites. Basically, each top-level vdev maintains a counter
indicating the number of synchronous writes (from dmu_sync() and the
ZIL) which have been allocated but not yet completed. When the metaslab
is called with the FASTWRITE flag, it will choose the vdev with the
least amount of pending synchronous writes. If there are multiple vdevs
with the same value, the first matching vdev (starting from the rotor)
is used. Once metaslab_alloc() has decided which vdev the block is
allocated to, it updates the fastwrite counter for this vdev.

The rationale goes like this: when an allocation is done with
FASTWRITE, it "reserves" the vdev until the data is written. Until then,
all future allocations will naturally avoid this vdev, even after a full
rotation of the rotor. As a result, pending synchronous writes at a
given point in time will be nicely spread over all vdevs. This contrasts
with the previous algorithm, which is based on the implicit assumption
that blocks are written instantaneously after they're allocated.

metaslab_fastwrite_mark() and metaslab_fastwrite_unmark() are used to
manually increase or decrease fastwrite counters, respectively. They
should be used with caution, as there is no per-BP tracking of fastwrite
information, so leaks and "double-unmarks" are possible. There is,
however, an assert in the vdev teardown code which will fire if the
fastwrite counters are not zero when the pool is exported or the vdev
removed. Note that as stated above, marking is also done implictly by
metaslab_alloc().

ZIO also got a new FASTWRITE flag; when it is used, ZIO will pass it to
the metaslab when allocating (assuming ZIO does the allocation, which is
only true in the case of dmu_sync). This flag will also trigger an
unmark when zio_done() fires.

A side-effect of the new algorithm is that when a ZIL stops being used,
its last block can stay in the pending state (allocated but not yet
written) for a long time, polluting the fastwrite counters. To avoid
that, I've implemented a somewhat crude but working solution which
unmarks these pending blocks in zil_sync(), thus guaranteeing that
linguering fastwrites will get pruned at each sync event.

The best performance improvements are observed with pools using a large
number of top-level vdevs and heavy synchronous write workflows
(especially indirect writes and concurrent writes from multiple ZILs).
Real-life testing shows a 200% to 300% performance increase with
indirect writes and various commit sizes.

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.

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

  21ade34 Disable direct reclaim for z_wr_* threads
  cfc9a5c Fix zpl_writepage() deadlock
  eec8164 Fix ASSERTION(!dsl_pool_sync_context(tx->tx_pool))

afec56b43f Add zfs_mdcomp_disable module option
Expose the zfs_mdcomp_disable variable as a module option.  This
can be used to disable compression of zfs meta data which is
enabled by default.  This shouldn't need to be tuned but for
most workloads, however there may be very specific instances
where it makes sense to trade disk capacity for extra cpu cycles.
