Previously, ZFS scaled maxinflight_bytes based on total number of
disks in the pool. A 3-wide mirror was receiving a queue depth of 3
disks, which it should not, since it reads from all the disks inside.
For wide raidz the situation was slightly better, but still a 3-wide
raidz1 received a depth of 3 disks instead of 2.
The new code counts only unique data disks, i.e. 1 disk for mirrors
and non-parity disks for raidz/draid. For draid the math is still
imperfect, since vdev_get_nparity() returns number of parity disks
per group, not per vdev, but still some better than it was.
This should slightly reduce scrub influence on payload for some pool
topologies by avoiding excessive queuing.

Closing #12046
While use of dynamic taskqs allows to reduce number of idle threads,
hardcoded 8 taskqs of each kind is a big overkill for small systems,
complicating CPU scheduling, increasing I/O reorder, etc, while
providing no real locking benefits, just not needed there.
On another side, 12*8 worker threads per kind are able to overload
almost any system nowadays. For example, pool of several fast SSDs
with SHA256 checksum makes system barely responsive during scrub, or
with dedup enabled barely responsive during large file deletion.
To address both problems this patch introduces ZTI_SCALE macro, alike
to ZTI_BATCH, but with multiple taskqs, depending on number of CPUs,
to be used in places where lock scalability is needed, while request
ordering is not so much. The code is made to create new taskq for
~6 worker threads (less for small systems, but more for very large)
up to 80% of CPU cores (previous 75% was not good for rounding down).
Both number of threads and threads per taskq are now tunable in case
somebody really wants to use all of system power for ZFS.
While obviously some benchmarks show small peak performance reduction
(not so big really, especially on systems with SMT, where use of the
second threads does not give as much performance as the first ones),
they also show dramatic latency reduction and much more smooth user-
space operation in case of high CPU usage by ZFS.

Mixing ZIL and normal allocations has several problems:
1. The ZIL allocations are allocated, written to disk, and then a few
seconds later freed. This leaves behind holes (free segments) where the
ZIL blocks used to be, which increases fragmentation, which negatively
impacts performance.
2. When under moderate load, ZIL allocations are of 128KB. If the pool
is fairly fragmented, there may not be many free chunks of that size.
This causes ZFS to load more metaslabs to locate free segments of 128KB
or more. The loading happens synchronously (from zil_commit()), and can
take around a second even if the metaslab's spacemap is cached in the
ARC. All concurrent synchronous operations on this filesystem must wait
while the metaslab is loading. This can cause a significant performance
impact.
3. If the pool is very fragmented, there may be zero free chunks of
128KB or more. In this case, the ZIL falls back to txg_wait_synced(),
which has an enormous performance impact.
These problems can be eliminated by using a dedicated log device
("slog"), even one with the same performance characteristics as the
normal devices.
This change sets aside one metaslab from each top-level vdev that is
preferentially used for ZIL allocations (vdev_log_mg,
spa_embedded_log_class). From an allocation perspective, this is
similar to having a dedicated log device, and it eliminates the
above-mentioned performance problems.
Log (ZIL) blocks can be allocated from the following locations. Each
one is tried in order until the allocation succeeds:
1. dedicated log vdevs, aka "slog" (spa_log_class)
2. embedded slog metaslabs (spa_embedded_log_class)
3. other metaslabs in normal vdevs (spa_normal_class)
The space required for the embedded slog metaslabs is usually between
0.5% and 1.0% of the pool, and comes out of the existing 3.2% of "slop"
space that is not available for user data.
On an all-ssd system with 4TB storage, 87% fragmentation, 60% capacity,
and recordsize=8k, testing shows a ~50% performance increase on random
8k sync writes. On even more fragmented systems (which hit problem #3
above and call txg_wait_synced()), the performance improvement can be
arbitrarily large (>100x).

On a system with very high fragmentation, we may need to do lots of gang
allocations (e.g. most indirect block allocations (~50KB) may need to
gang). Before failing a "normal" allocation and resorting to ganging, we
try every metaslab. This has the impact of loading every metaslab (not
a huge deal since we now typically keep all metaslabs loaded), and also
iterating over every metaslab for every failing allocation. If there are
many metaslabs (more than the typical ~200, e.g. due to vdev expansion
or very large vdevs), the CPU cost of this iteration can be very
impactful. This iteration is done with the mg_lock held, creating long
hold times and high lock contention for concurrent allocations,
ultimately causing long txg sync times and poor application performance.
To address this, this commit changes the behavior of "normal" (not
try_hard, not ZIL) allocations. These will now only examine the 100
best metaslabs (as determined by their ms_weight). If none of these
have a large enough free segment, then the allocation will fail and
we'll fall back on ganging.
To accomplish this, we will now (normally) gang before doing a
`try_hard` allocation. Non-try_hard allocations will only examine the
100 best metaslabs of each vdev. In summary, we will first try normal
allocation. If that fails then we will do a gang allocation. If that
fails then we will do a "try hard" gang allocation. If that fails then
we will have a multi-layer gang block.

Investigating influence of scrub (especially sequential) on random read
latency I've noticed that on some HDDs single 4KB read may take up to 4
seconds! Deeper investigation shown that many HDDs heavily prioritize
sequential reads even when those are submitted with queue depth of 1.
This patch addresses the latency from two sides:
- by using _min_active queue depths for non-interactive requests while
the interactive request(s) are active and few requests after;
- by throttling it further if no interactive requests has completed
while configured amount of non-interactive did.
While there, I've also modified vdev_queue_class_to_issue() to give
more chances to schedule at least _min_active requests to the lowest
priorities. It should reduce starvation if several non-interactive
processes are running same time with some interactive and I think should
make possible setting of zfs_vdev_max_active to as low as 1.
I've benchmarked this change with 4KB random reads from ZVOL with 16KB
block size on newly written non-fragmented pool. On fragmented pool I
also saw improvements, but not so dramatic. Below are log2 histograms
of the random read latency in milliseconds for different devices:

after:
0, 0, 0, 24, 101, 195, 419, 250, 47, 4, 0, 0

This patch adds a new top-level vdev type called dRAID, which stands
for Distributed parity RAID. This pool configuration allows all dRAID
vdevs to participate when rebuilding to a distributed hot spare device.
This can substantially reduce the total time required to restore full
parity to pool with a failed device.
A dRAID pool can be created using the new top-level `draid` type.
Like `raidz`, the desired redundancy is specified after the type:
`draid[1,2,3]`. No additional information is required to create the
pool and reasonable default values will be chosen based on the number
of child vdevs in the dRAID vdev.
zpool create <pool> draid[1,2,3] <vdevs...>
Unlike raidz, additional optional dRAID configuration values can be
provided as part of the draid type as colon separated values. This
allows administrators to fully specify a layout for either performance
or capacity reasons. The supported options include:
zpool create <pool> \
draid[<parity>][:<data>d][:<children>c][:<spares>s] \
<vdevs...>
- draid[parity] - Parity level (default 1)
- draid[:<data>d] - Data devices per group (default 8)
- draid[:<children>c] - Expected number of child vdevs
- draid[:<spares>s] - Distributed hot spares (default 0)

== Motivation and Context
The new vdev ashift optimization prevents the removal of devices when
a zfs configuration is comprised of disks which have different logical
and physical block sizes. This is caused because we set 'spa_min_ashift'
in vdev_open and then later call 'vdev_ashift_optimize'. This would
result in an inconsistency between spa's ashift calculations and that
of the top-level vdev.
In addition, the optimization logical ignores the overridden ashift
value that would be provided by '-o ashift=<val>'.
== Description
This change reworks the vdev ashift optimization so that it's only
set the first time the device is configured. It still allows the
physical and logical ahsift values to be set every time the device
is opened but those values are only consulted on first open.

Currently the ARC state (MFU/MRU) of cached L2ARC buffer and their
content type is unknown. Knowing this information may prove beneficial
in adjusting the L2ARC caching policy.
This commit adds L2ARC arcstats that display the aligned size
(in bytes) of L2ARC buffers according to their content type
(data/metadata) and according to their ARC state (MRU/MFU or
prefetch). It also expands the existing evict_l2_eligible arcstat to
differentiate between MFU and MRU buffers.
L2ARC caches buffers from the MRU and MFU lists of ARC. Upon caching a
buffer, its ARC state (MRU/MFU) is stored in the L2 header
(b_arcs_state). The l2_m{f,r}u_asize arcstats reflect the aligned size
(in bytes) of L2ARC buffers according to their ARC state (based on
b_arcs_state). We also account for the case where an L2ARC and ARC
cached MRU or MRU_ghost buffer transitions to MFU. The l2_prefetch_asize
reflects the alinged size (in bytes) of L2ARC buffers that were cached
while they had the prefetch flag set in ARC. This is dynamically updated
as the prefetch flag of L2ARC buffers changes.
When buffers are evicted from ARC, if they are determined to be L2ARC
eligible then their logical size is recorded in
evict_l2_eligible_m{r,f}u arcstats according to their ARC state upon
eviction.
Persistent L2ARC:
When committing an L2ARC buffer to a log block (L2ARC metadata) its
b_arcs_state and prefetch flag is also stored. If the buffer changes
its arcstate or prefetch flag this is reflected in the above arcstats.
However, the L2ARC metadata cannot currently be updated to reflect this
change.
Example: L2ARC caches an MRU buffer. L2ARC metadata and arcstats count
this as an MRU buffer. The buffer transitions to MFU. The arcstats are
updated to reflect this. Upon pool re-import or on/offlining the L2ARC
device the arcstats are cleared and the buffer will now be counted as an
MRU buffer, as the L2ARC metadata were not updated.
Bug fix:
- If l2arc_noprefetch is set, arc_read_done clears the L2CACHE flag of
an ARC buffer. However, prefetches may be issued in a way that
arc_read_done() is bypassed. Instead, move the related code in
l2arc_write_eligible() to account for those cases too.
Also add a test and update manpages for l2arc_mfuonly module parameter,
and update the manpages and code comments for l2arc_noprefetch.
Move persist_l2arc tests to l2arc.

Duplicate io and checksum ereport events can misrepresent that
things are worse than they seem. Ideally the zpool events and the
corresponding vdev stat error counts in a zpool status should be
for unique errors -- not the same error being counted over and over.
This can be demonstrated in a simple example. With a single bad
block in a datafile and just 5 reads of the file we end up with a
degraded vdev, even though there is only one unique error in the pool.
The proposed solution to the above issue, is to eliminate duplicates
when posting events and when updating vdev error stats. We now save
recent error events of interest when posting events so that we can
easily check for duplicates when posting an error.

larger than the minimum logical allocation size accessible by
external commands. Two prevalent examples of this are 512e disk
drives (512b logical sector, 4K physical sector) and flash devices
(512b logical sector, 4K or larger allocation block size, and 128k
or larger erase block size). Operations that modify less than the
physical sector size result in a costly read-modify-write or garbage
collection sequence on these devices.
Simply exporting the true physical sector of the device to ZFS would
yield optimal performance, but has two serious drawbacks:
1. Existing pools created with devices that have different logical
and physical block sizes, but were configured to use the logical
block size (e.g. because the OS version used for pool construction
reported the logical block size instead of the physical block
size) will suddenly find that the vdev allocation size has
increased. This can be easily tolerated for active members of
the array, but ZFS would prevent replacement of a vdev with
another identical device because it now appears that the smaller
allocation size required by the pool is not supported by the new
device.
2. The device's physical block size may be too large to be supported
by ZFS. The optimal allocation size for the vdev may be quite
large. For example, a RAID controller may export a vdev that
requires read-modify-write cycles unless accessed using 64k
aligned/sized requests. ZFS currently has an 8k minimum block
size limit.
Reporting both the logical and physical allocation sizes for vdevs
solves these problems. A device may be used so long as the logical
block size is compatible with the configuration. By comparing the
logical and physical block sizes, new configurations can be optimized
and administrators can be notified of any existing pools that are
sub-optimal.

We limit the size of nvlists passed to the kernel so a user cannot make
the kernel do an unreasonably large allocation. On FreeBSD this limit
was 128 kiB, which turns out to be a bit too small when doing some
operations involving a large number of datasets or snapshots, for
example replication.
Make this limit tunable, with a platform-specific auto default.
Linux keeps its limit at KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. FreeBSD uses 1/4 of the
system limit on user wired memory, which allows it to scale depending
on system configuration.

Issue #6572Closes#10706
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
re-enable the appropriate kstats to track these callbacks.

The device_rebuild feature enables sequential reconstruction when
resilvering. Mirror vdevs can be rebuilt in LBA order which may
more quickly restore redundancy depending on the pools average block
size, overall fragmentation and the performance characteristics
of the devices. However, block checksums cannot be verified
as part of the rebuild thus a scrub is automatically started after
the sequential resilver completes.
The new '-s' option has been added to the `zpool attach` and
`zpool replace` command to request sequential reconstruction
instead of healing reconstruction when resilvering.
zpool attach -s <pool> <existing vdev> <new vdev>
zpool replace -s <pool> <old vdev> <new vdev>
The `zpool status` output has been updated to report the progress
of sequential resilvering in the same way as healing resilvering.
The one notable difference is that multiple sequential resilvers
may be in progress as long as they're operating on different
top-level vdevs.
The `zpool wait -t resilver` command was extended to wait on
sequential resilvers. From this perspective they are no different
than healing resilvers.
Sequential resilvers cannot be supported for RAIDZ, but are
compatible with the dRAID feature being developed.
As part of this change the resilver_restart_* tests were moved
in to the functional/replacement directory. Additionally, the
replacement tests were renamed and extended to verify both
resilvering and rebuilding.

Implement semi-compatible functionality for mode=0 (preallocation)
and mode=FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE (preallocation beyond EOF) for ZPL.
Since ZFS does COW and snapshots, preallocating blocks for a file
cannot guarantee that writes to the file will not run out of space.
Even if the first overwrite was guaranteed, it would not handle any
later overwrite of blocks due to COW, so strict compliance is futile.
Instead, make a best-effort check that at least enough free space is
currently available in the pool (with a bit of margin), then create
a sparse file of the requested size and continue on with life.
This does not handle all cases (e.g. several fallocate() calls before
writing into the files when the filesystem is nearly full), which
would require a more complex mechanism to be implemented, probably
based on a modified version of dmu_prealloc(), but is usable as-is.
A new module option zfs_fallocate_reserve_percent is used to control
the reserve margin for any single fallocate call. By default, this
is 110% of the requested preallocation size, so an additional 10% of
available space is reserved for overhead to allow the application a
good chance of finishing the write when the fallocate() succeeds.
If the heuristics of this basic fallocate implementation are not
desirable, the old non-functional behavior of returning EOPNOTSUPP
for calls can be restored by setting zfs_fallocate_reserve_percent=0.
The parameter of zfs_statvfs() is changed to take an inode instead
of a dentry, since no dentry is available in zfs_fallocate_common().
A few tests from @behlendorf cover basic fallocate functionality.

The l2arc_evict() function is responsible for evicting buffers which
reference the next bytes of the L2ARC device to be overwritten. Teach
this function to additionally TRIM that vdev space before it is
overwritten if the device has been filled with data. This is done by
vdev_trim_simple() which trims by issuing a new type of TRIM,
TRIM_TYPE_SIMPLE.
We also implement a "Trim Ahead" feature. It is a zfs module parameter,
expressed in % of the current write size. This trims ahead of the
current write size. A minimum of 64MB will be trimmed. The default is 0
which disables TRIM on L2ARC as it can put significant stress to
underlying storage devices. To enable TRIM on L2ARC we set
l2arc_trim_ahead > 0.
We also implement TRIM of the whole cache device upon addition to a
pool, pool creation or when the header of the device is invalid upon
importing a pool or onlining a cache device. This is dependent on
l2arc_trim_ahead > 0. TRIM of the whole device is done with
TRIM_TYPE_MANUAL so that its status can be monitored by zpool status -t.
We save the TRIM state for the whole device and the time of completion
on-disk in the header, and restore these upon L2ARC rebuild so that
zpool status -t can correctly report them. Whole device TRIM is done
asynchronously so that the user can export of the pool or remove the
cache device while it is trimming (ie if it is too slow).
We do not TRIM the whole device if persistent L2ARC has been disabled by
l2arc_rebuild_enabled = 0 because we may not want to lose all cached
buffers (eg we may want to import the pool with
l2arc_rebuild_enabled = 0 only once because of memory pressure). If
persistent L2ARC has been disabled by setting the module parameter
l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size to a value greater than the size of the
cache device then the whole device is trimmed upon creation or import of
a pool if l2arc_trim_ahead > 0.

For each WRITE record in the stream, `zfs receive` creates a DMU
transaction (`dmu_tx_create()`) and writes this block's data into the
object. If per-block overheads (as opposed to per-byte overheads)
dominate performance (as is often the case with small recordsize), the
per-dmu-transaction overheads can be significant. For example, in some
workloads the `receieve_writer` thread is 100% on CPU, and more than
half of its CPU time is in these per-tx routines (e.g.
dmu_tx_hold_write, dmu_tx_assign, dmu_tx_commit).
To improve performance of `zfs receive`, this commit batches WRITE
records which are to nearby offsets of the same object, and uses one DMU
transaction to write them all. By default the batch size is 1MB, which
for recordsize=8K reduces the number of DMU transactions by 128x for
full send streams (incrementals will depend on how "clumpy" the changed
blocks are).
This commit improves the performance of `dd if=stream | zfs recv`
from 78,800 blocks/sec to 98,100 blocks/sec (25% improvement).

The module parameter zfs_async_block_max_blocks limits the number of
blocks that can be freed by the background freeing of filesystems and
snapshots (from "zfs destroy"), in one TXG. This is useful when freeing
dedup blocks, becuase each zio_free() of a dedup block can require an
i/o to read the relevant part of the dedup table (DDT), and will also
dirty that block.
zfs_async_block_max_blocks is set to 100,000 by default. For the more
typical case where dedup is not used, this can have a negative
performance impact on the rate of background freeing (from "zfs
destroy"). For example, with recordsize=8k, and TXG's syncing once
every 5 seconds, we can free only 160MB of data per second, which may be
much less than the rate we can write data.
This change increases zfs_async_block_max_blocks to be unlimited by
default. To address the dedup freeing issue, a new tunable is
introduced, zfs_max_async_dedup_frees, which limits the number of
zio_free()'s of dedup blocks done by background destroys, per txg. The
default is 100,000 free's (same as the old zfs_async_block_max_blocks
default).

Originally the zfs_vdev_elevator module option was added as a

because the kernel provided an API function which did exactly this.
This API was then removed in the Linux 4.12 kernel which prompted
us to add compatibly code to set the elevator via a usermodehelper.
While well intentioned this introduced a bug which could cause a
system hang, that issue was subsequently fixed by commit 2a0d4188.
In order to avoid future bugs in this area, and to simplify the code,
this functionality is being deprecated. A console warning has been

Currently the best way to wait for the completion of a long-running
operation in a pool, like a scrub or device removal, is to poll 'zpool
status' and parse its output, which is neither efficient nor convenient.
This change adds a 'wait' subcommand to the zpool command. When invoked,
'zpool wait' will block until a specified type of background activity
completes. Currently, this subcommand can wait for any of the following:
- Scrubs or resilvers to complete
- Devices to initialized
- Devices to be replaced
- Devices to be removed
- Checkpoints to be discarded
- Background freeing to complete
For example, a scrub that is in progress could be waited for by running
zpool wait -t scrub <pool>
This also adds a -w flag to the attach, checkpoint, initialize, replace,
remove, and scrub subcommands. When used, this flag makes the operations
kicked off by these subcommands synchronous instead of asynchronous.
This functionality is implemented using a new ioctl. The type of
activity to wait for is provided as input to the ioctl, and the ioctl
blocks until all activity of that type has completed. An ioctl was used
over other methods of kernel-userspace communiction primarily for the
sake of portability.
Porting Notes:
This is ported from Delphix OS change DLPX-44432. The following changes
were made while porting:
- Added ZoL-style ioctl input declaration.
- Reorganized error handling in zpool_initialize in libzfs to integrate
better with changes made for TRIM support.
- Fixed check for whether a checkpoint discard is in progress.
Previously it also waited if the pool had a checkpoint, instead of
just if a checkpoint was being discarded.
- Exposed zfs_initialize_chunk_size as a ZoL-style tunable.
- Updated more existing tests to make use of new 'zpool wait'
functionality, tests that don't exist in Delphix OS.
- Used existing ZoL tunable zfs_scan_suspend_progress, together with
zinject, in place of a new tunable zfs_scan_max_blks_per_txg.
- Added support for a non-integral interval argument to zpool wait.
Future work:
ZoL has support for trimming devices, which Delphix OS does not. In the
future, 'zpool wait' could be extended to add the ability to wait for
trim operations to complete.

With the other metaslab changes loaded onto a system, we can

of those changes actually result in us keeping more metaslabs loaded.
If we don't keep more metaslabs loaded, we will still have to wait
for demand-loading to finish when no loaded metaslab can satisfy our
allocation, which can cause ZIL performance issues. In addition,
performance is traditionally measured by IOs per unit time, while
unloading is currently done on a txg-count basis. Txgs can take a
widely varying range of times, from tenths of a second to several
seconds. This can result in confusing, hard to predict behavior.
This change simply adds a time-based component to metaslab unloading.

On systems with large amounts of storage and high fragmentation, a huge
amount of space can be used by storing metaslab range trees. Since
metaslabs are only unloaded during a txg sync, and only if they have
been inactive for 8 txgs, it is possible to get into a state where all
of the system's memory is consumed by range trees and metaslabs, and
txgs cannot sync. While ZFS knows how to evict ARC data when needed,
it has no such mechanism for range tree data. This can result in boot
hangs for some system configurations.
First, we add the ability to unload metaslabs outside of syncing
context. Second, we store a multilist of all loaded metaslabs, sorted
by their selection txg, so we can quickly identify the oldest
metaslabs. We use a multilist to reduce lock contention during heavy
write workloads. Finally, we add logic that will unload a metaslab
when we're loading a new metaslab, if we're using more than a certain

When we unload metaslabs today in ZFS, the cached max_size value is
discarded. We instead use the histogram to determine whether or not we
think we can satisfy an allocation from the metaslab. This can result in
situations where, if we're doing I/Os of a size not aligned to a
histogram bucket, a metaslab is loaded even though it cannot satisfy the
allocation we think it can. For example, a metaslab with 16 entries in
the 16k-32k bucket may have entirely 16kB entries. If we try to allocate
a 24kB buffer, we will load that metaslab because we think it should be
able to handle the allocation. Doing so is expensive in CPU time, disk
reads, and average IO latency. This is exacerbated if the write being
attempted is a sync write.
This change makes ZFS cache the max_size after the metaslab is
unloaded. If we ever get a free (or a coalesced group of frees) larger
than the max_size, we will update it. Otherwise, we leave it as is. When
attempting to allocate, we use the max_size as a lower bound, and
respect it unless we are in try_hard. However, we do age the max_size
out at some point, since we expect the actual max_size to increase as we
do more frees. A more sophisticated algorithm here might be helpful, but
this works reasonably well.
