37f03da8ba Fast Clone Deletion
Deleting a clone requires finding blocks are clone-only, not shared
with the snapshot. This was done by traversing the entire block tree
which results in a large performance penalty for sparsely
written clones.

This is new method keeps track of clone blocks when they are
modified in a "Livelist" so that, when it’s time to delete,
the clone-specific blocks are already at hand.

We see performance improvements because now deletion work is
proportional to the number of clone-modified blocks, not the size
of the original dataset.

59ec30a329 Remove code for zfs remap
The "zfs remap" command was disabled by
6e91a72fe3, because it has little utility
and introduced some tricky bugs.  This commit removes the code for it,
the associated ZFS_IOC_REMAP ioctl, and tests.

Note that the ioctl and property will remain, but have no functionality.
This allows older software to fail gracefully if it attempts to use
these, and avoids a backwards incompatibility that would be introduced if
we renumbered the later ioctls/props.

d2734cce68 OpenZFS 9166 - zfs storage pool checkpoint
Details about the motivation of this feature and its usage can
be found in this blogpost:

    https://sdimitro.github.io/post/zpool-checkpoint/

A lightning talk of this feature can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPQA8K40jAM

Implementation details can be found in big block comment of
spa_checkpoint.c

Side-changes that are relevant to this commit but not explained
elsewhere:

* renames members of "struct metaslab trees to be shorter without
  losing meaning

* space_map_{alloc,truncate}() accept a block size as a
  parameter. The reason is that in the current state all space
  maps that we allocate through the DMU use a global tunable
  (space_map_blksz) which defauls to 4KB. This is ok for metaslab
  space maps in terms of bandwirdth since they are scattered all
  over the disk. But for other space maps this default is probably
  not what we want. Examples are device removal's vdev_obsolete_sm
  or vdev_chedkpoint_sm from this review. Both of these have a
  1:1 relationship with each vdev and could benefit from a bigger
  block size.

Porting notes:

* The part of dsl_scan_sync() which handles async destroys has
  been moved into the new dsl_process_async_destroys() function.

* Remove "VERIFY(!(flags & FWRITE))" in "kernel.c" so zhack can write
  to block device backed pools.

* ZTS:
  * Fix get_txg() in zpool_sync_001_pos due to "checkpoint_txg".

  * Don't use large dd block sizes on /dev/urandom under Linux in
    checkpoint_capacity.

  * Adopt Delphix-OS's setting of 4 (spa_asize_inflation =
    SPA_DVAS_PER_BP + 1) for the checkpoint_capacity test to speed
    its attempts to fill the pool

  * Create the base and nested pools with sync=disabled to speed up
    the "setup" phase.

  * Clear labels in test pool between checkpoint tests to avoid
    duplicate pool issues.

  * The import_rewind_device_replaced test has been marked as "known
    to fail" for the reasons listed in its DISCLAIMER.

  * New module parameters:

      zfs_spa_discard_memory_limit,
      zfs_remove_max_bytes_pause (not documented - debugging only)
      vdev_max_ms_count (formerly metaslabs_per_vdev)

Linux 4.18 compat: inode timespec -> timespec64
Commit torvalds/linux@95582b0 changes the inode i_atime, i_mtime,
and i_ctime members form timespec's to timespec64's to make them
2038 safe.  As part of this change the current_time() function was
also updated to return the timespec64 type.

Resolve this issue by introducing a new inode_timespec_t type which
is defined to match the timespec type used by the inode.  It should
be used when working with inode timestamps to ensure matching types.

The timestruc_t type under Illumos was used in a similar fashion but
was specified to always be a timespec_t.  Rather than incorrectly
define this type all timespec_t types have been replaced by the new
inode_timespec_t type.

Finally, the kernel and user space 'sys/time.h' headers were aligned
with each other.  They define as appropriate for the context several
constants as macros and include static inline implementation of
gethrestime(), gethrestime_sec(), and gethrtime().

a1d477c24c OpenZFS 7614, 9064 - zfs device evacuation/removal
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.

b525630342 Native Encryption for ZFS on Linux
This change incorporates three major pieces:

The first change is a keystore that manages wrapping
and encryption keys for encrypted datasets. These
commands mostly involve manipulating the new
DSL Crypto Key ZAP Objects that live in the MOS. Each
encrypted dataset has its own DSL Crypto Key that is
protected with a user's key. This level of indirection
allows users to change their keys without re-encrypting
their entire datasets. The change implements the new
subcommands "zfs load-key", "zfs unload-key" and
"zfs change-key" which allow the user to manage their
encryption keys and settings. In addition, several new
flags and properties have been added to allow dataset
creation and to make mounting and unmounting more
convenient.

The second piece of this patch provides the ability to
encrypt, decyrpt, and authenticate protected datasets.
Each object set maintains a Merkel tree of Message
Authentication Codes that protect the lower layers,
similarly to how checksums are maintained. This part
impacts the zio layer, which handles the actual
encryption and generation of MACs, as well as the ARC
and DMU, which need to be able to handle encrypted
buffers and protected data.

The last addition is the ability to do raw, encrypted
sends and receives. The idea here is to send raw
encrypted and compressed data and receive it exactly
as is on a backup system. This means that the dataset
on the receiving system is protected using the same
user key that is in use on the sending side. By doing
so, datasets can be efficiently backed up to an
untrusted system without fear of data being
compromised.

3ec3bc2167 OpenZFS 7793 - ztest fails assertion in dmu_tx_willuse_space

Background information: This assertion about tx_space_* verifies that we
are not dirtying more stuff than we thought we would. We “need” to know
how much we will dirty so that we can check if we should fail this
transaction with ENOSPC/EDQUOT, in dmu_tx_assign(). While the
transaction is open (i.e. between dmu_tx_assign() and dmu_tx_commit() —
typically less than a millisecond), we call dbuf_dirty() on the exact
blocks that will be modified. Once this happens, the temporary
accounting in tx_space_* is unnecessary, because we know exactly what
blocks are newly dirtied; we call dnode_willuse_space() to track this
more exact accounting.

The fundamental problem causing this bug is that dmu_tx_hold_*() relies
on the current state in the DMU (e.g. dn_nlevels) to predict how much
will be dirtied by this transaction, but this state can change before we
actually perform the transaction (i.e. call dbuf_dirty()).

This bug will be fixed by removing the assertion that the tx_space_*
accounting is perfectly accurate (i.e. we never dirty more than was
predicted by dmu_tx_hold_*()). By removing the requirement that this
accounting be perfectly accurate, we can also vastly simplify it, e.g.
removing most of the logic in dmu_tx_count_*().

The new tx space accounting will be very approximate, and may be more or
less than what is actually dirtied. It will still be used to determine
if this transaction will put us over quota. Transactions that are marked
by dmu_tx_mark_netfree() will be excepted from this check. We won’t make
an attempt to determine how much space will be freed by the transaction
— this was rarely accurate enough to determine if a transaction should
be permitted when we are over quota, which is why dmu_tx_mark_netfree()
was introduced in 2014.

We also won’t attempt to give “credit” when overwriting existing blocks,
if those blocks may be freed. This allows us to remove the
do_free_accounting logic in dbuf_dirty(), and associated routines. This
logic attempted to predict what will be on disk when this txg syncs, to
know if the overwritten block will be freed (i.e. exists, and has no
snapshots).

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.

Porting notes:

Previous stack-reduction efforts in traverse_visitb() caused a fair
number of un-mergable pieces of code.  This patch should reduce its
stack footprint a bit more.

The new local bptree_entry_phys_t in bptree_add() is dynamically-allocated
using kmem_zalloc() for the purpose of stack reduction.

The new global zfs_free_leak_on_eio has been defined as an integer
rather than a boolean_t as was the case with the related zfs_recover
global.  Also, zfs_free_leak_on_eio's definition has been inserted into
zfs_debug.c for consistency with the existing definition of zfs_recover.
Illumos placed it in spa_misc.c.

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).

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.

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))

6283f55ea1 Support custom build directories and move includes
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory.  The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.

For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently.  This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.

Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution.  When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.

wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z

------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu     mkdir fedora     mkdir debian     mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu        cd fedora        cd debian        cd rhel6
../configure     ../configure     ../configure     ../configure
make             make             make             make
make check       make check       make check       make check

This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory.  This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
