cc99f275a2 Pool allocation classes
Allocation Classes add the ability to have allocation classes in a
pool that are dedicated to serving specific block categories, such
as DDT data, metadata, and small file blocks. A pool can opt-in to
this feature by adding a 'special' or 'dedup' top-level VDEV.

492f64e941 OpenZFS 9112 - Improve allocation performance on high-end systems
Overview
========

We parallelize the allocation process by creating the concept of
"allocators". There are a certain number of allocators per metaslab
group, defined by the value of a tunable at pool open time.  Each
allocator for a given metaslab group has up to 2 active metaslabs; one
"primary", and one "secondary". The primary and secondary weight mean
the same thing they did in in the pre-allocator world; primary metaslabs
are used for most allocations, secondary metaslabs are used for ditto
blocks being allocated in the same metaslab group.  There is also the
CLAIM weight, which has been separated out from the other weights, but
that is less important to understanding the patch.  The active metaslabs
for each allocator are moved from their normal place in the metaslab
tree for the group to the back of the tree. This way, they will not be
selected for use by other allocators searching for new metaslabs unless
all the passive metaslabs are unsuitable for allocations.  If that does
happen, the allocators will "steal" from each other to ensure that IOs
don't fail until there is truly no space left to perform allocations.

In addition, the alloc queue for each metaslab group has been broken
into a separate queue for each allocator. We don't want to dramatically
increase the number of inflight IOs on low-end systems, because it can
significantly increase txg times. On the other hand, we want to ensure
that there are enough IOs for each allocator to allow for good
coalescing before sending the IOs to the disk.  As a result, we take a
compromise path; each allocator's alloc queue max depth starts at a
certain value for every txg. Every time an IO completes, we increase the
max depth. This should hopefully provide a good balance between the two
failure modes, while not dramatically increasing complexity.

We also parallelize the spa_alloc_tree and spa_alloc_lock, which cause
very similar contention when selecting IOs to allocate. This
parallelization uses the same allocator scheme as metaslab selection.

Performance Results
===================

Performance improvements from this change can vary significantly based
on the number of CPUs in the system, whether or not the system has a
NUMA architecture, the speed of the drives, the values for the various
tunables, and the workload being performed. For an fio async sequential
write workload on a 24 core NUMA system with 256 GB of RAM and 8 128 GB
SSDs, there is a roughly 25% performance improvement.

Future Work
===========

Analysis of the performance of the system with this patch applied shows
that a significant new bottleneck is the vdev disk queues, which also
need to be parallelized.  Prototyping of this change has occurred, and
there was a performance improvement, but more work needs to be done
before its stability has been verified and it is ready to be upstreamed.

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)
      vdev_min_ms_count

0dc2f70c5c OpenZFS 9486 - reduce memory used by device removal on fragmented pools
Device removal allocates a new location for each allocated segment on
the disk that's being removed.  Each allocation results in one entry in
the mapping table, which maps from old location + length to new
location.  When a fragmented disk is removed, this can result in a large
number of mapping entries, and thus a large amount of memory consumed by
the mapping table.  In the worst real-world cases, we've seen around 1GB
of RAM per 1TB of storage removed.

We can improve on this situation by allocating larger segments, which
span across both allocated and free regions of the device being removed.
By including free regions in the allocation (and thus mapping), we
reduce the number of mapping entries.  For example, if we have a 4K
allocation followed by 1K free and then 4K allocated, we would allocate
4+1+4 = 9KB, and then move the entire region (including allocated and
free parts).  In this case we used one mapping where previously we would
have used two, but often the ratio is much higher (up to 20:1 in
real-world use).  We then need to mark the regions that were free on the
removing device as free in the new locations, and also obsolete in the
mapping entry.

This method preserves the fragmentation of the removing device, rather
than consolidating its allocated space into a small number of chunks
where possible.  But it results in drastic reduction of memory used by
the mapping table - around 20x in the most-fragmented cases.

In the most fragmented real-world cases, this reduces memory used by the
mapping from ~1GB to ~50MB of RAM per 1TB of storage removed.  Less
fragmented cases will typically also see around 50-100MB of RAM per 1TB
of storage.

Porting notes:

* Add the following as module parameters:
    * zfs_condense_indirect_vdevs_enable
    * zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes

* Document the following module parameters:
   * zfs_condense_indirect_vdevs_enable
   * zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
   * zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes

20507534d4 OpenZFS 9434 - Speculative prefetch is blocked by device removal code
Device removal code does not set spa_indirect_vdevs_loaded for pools
that never experienced device removal.  At least one visual consequence
of it is completely blocked speculative prefetcher.  This patch sets

9e052db462 OpenZFS 9290 - device removal reduces redundancy of mirrors
Mirrors are supposed to provide redundancy in the face of whole-disk
failure and silent damage (e.g. some data on disk is not right, but ZFS
hasn't detected the whole device as being broken). However, the current
device removal implementation bypasses some of the mirror's redundancy.
Note that in no case is incorrect data returned, but we might get a
checksum error when we should have been able to find the right data.

There are two underlying problems:

1. When we remove a mirror device, we only read one side of the mirror.
Since we can't verify the checksum, this side may be silently bad, but
the good data is on the other side of the mirror (which we didn't read).
This can cause the removal to "bake in" the busted data – all copies of
the data in the new location are the same, busted version, while we left
the good version behind.

The fix for this is to read and copy both sides of the mirror. If the
old and new vdevs are mirrors, we will read both sides of the old
mirror, and write each copy to the corresponding side of the new mirror.
(If the old and new vdevs have a different number of children, we will
do this as best as possible.) Even though we aren't verifying checksums,
this ensures that as long as there's a good copy of the data, we'll have
a good copy after the removal, even if there's silent damage to one side
of the mirror. If we're removing a mirror that has some silent damage,
we'll have exactly the same damage in the new location (assuming that
the new location is also a mirror).

2. When we read from an indirect vdev that points to a mirror vdev, we
only consider one copy of the data. This can lead to reduced effective
redundancy, because we might read a bad copy of the data from one side
of the mirror, and not retry the other, good side of the mirror.

Note that the problem is not with the removal process, but rather after
the removal has completed (having copied correct data to both sides of
the mirror), if one side of the new mirror is silently damaged, we
encounter the problem when reading the relocated data via the indirect
vdev. Also note that the problem doesn't occur when ZFS knows that one
side of the mirror is bad, e.g. when a disk entirely fails or is
offlined.

The impact is that reads (from indirect vdevs that point to mirrors) may
return a checksum error even though the good data exists on one side of
the mirror, and scrub doesn't repair all data on the mirror (if some of
it is pointed to via an indirect vdev).

The fix for this is complicated by "split blocks" - one logical block
may be split into two (or more) pieces with each piece moved to a
different new location. In this case we need to read all versions of
each split (one from each side of the mirror), and figure out which
combination of versions results in the correct checksum, and then repair
the incorrect versions.

This ensures that we supply the same redundancy whether you use device
removal or not. For example, if a mirror has small silent errors on all
of its children, we can still reconstruct the correct data, as long as
those errors are at sufficiently-separated offsets (specifically,
separated by the largest block size - default of 128KB, but up to 16MB).

Porting notes:

* A new indirect vdev check was moved from dsl_scan_needs_resilver_cb()
  to dsl_scan_needs_resilver(), which was added to ZoL as part of the
  sequential scrub work.

* Passed NULL for zfs_ereport_post_checksum()'s zbookmark_phys_t
  parameter.  The extra parameter is unique to ZoL.

* When posting indirect checksum errors the ABD can be passed directly,
  zfs_ereport_post_checksum() is not yet ABD-aware in OpenZFS.

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.
