- When receiving memory pressure signal from OS be more strict
trying to free some memory. Otherwise kernel may come again and
request much more. Return as result how much arc_c was actually
reduced due to this request, that may be less than requested.
- On Linux when receiving direct reclaim from some file system
(that may be ZFS) instead of ignoring request completely, just
shrink the ARC, but do not wait for eviction. Waiting there may
cause deadlock. Ignoring it as before may put extra pressure on
other caches and/or swap, and cause OOM if nothing help. While
not waiting may result in more ARC evicted later, and may be too
late if OOM killer activate right now, but I hope it to be better
than doing nothing at all.
- On Linux set arc_no_grow before waiting for reclaim, not after,
or it may grow back while we are waiting.
- On Linux add new parameter zfs_arc_shrinker_seeks to balance
ARC eviction cost, relative to page cache and other subsystems.
- Slightly update Linux arc_set_sys_free() math for new kernels.

Remove arc_reduce_target_size() call from arc_prune_task(). The idea
of arc_prune_task() is to remove external references on ARC metadata,
such as vnodes. Since arc_prune_async() is called only from ARC itself,
it makes no sense to create a parasitic loop between ARC eviction and
the pruning, treatening to drop ARC to its minimum. I can't guess why
it was added as part of FreeBSD to OpenZFS integration.

Traditionally ARC adaptation was limited to MRU/MFU distribution. But
for years people with metadata-centric workload demanded mechanisms to
also manage data/metadata distribution, that in original ZFS was just
a FIFO. As result ZFS effectively got separate states for data and
metadata, minimum and maximum metadata limits etc, but it all required
manual tuning, was not adaptive and in its heart remained a bad FIFO.
This change removes most of existing eviction logic, rewriting it from
scratch. This makes MRU/MFU adaptation individual for data and meta-
data, same as the distribution between data and metadata themselves.
Since most of required states separation was already done, it only
required to make arcs_size state field specific per data/metadata.
The adaptation logic is still based on previous concept of ghost hits,
just now it balances ARC capacity between 4 states: MRU data, MRU
metadata, MFU data and MFU metadata. To simplify arc_c changes instead
of arc_p measured in bytes, this code uses 3 variable arc_meta, arc_pd
and arc_pm, representing ARC balance between metadata and data, MRU and
MFU for data, and MRU and MFU for metadata respectively as 32-bit fixed
point fractions. Since we care about the math result only when need to
evict, this moves all the logic from arc_adapt() to arc_evict(), that
reduces per-block overhead, since per-block operations are limited to
stats collection, now moved from arc_adapt() to arc_access() and using
cheaper wmsums. This also allows to remove ugly ARC_HDR_DO_ADAPT flag
from many places.
This change also removes number of metadata specific tunables, part of
which were actually not functioning correctly, since not all metadata
are equal and some (like L2ARC headers) are not really evictable.
Instead it introduced single opaque knob zfs_arc_meta_balance, tuning
ARC's reaction on ghost hits, allowing administrator give more or less
preference to metadata without setting strict limits.
Some of old code parts like arc_evict_meta() are just removed, because
since introduction of ABD ARC they really make no sense: only headers
referenced by small number of buffers are not evictable, and they are
really not evictable no matter what this code do. Instead just call
arc_prune_async() if too much metadata appear not evictable.

Closes#14359
In #13871, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit_non_rotating and
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit being signed was pointed out as a possible
reason not to eliminate an unnecessary MAX(unsigned, 0) since the
unsigned value was assigned from them.
There is no reason for these module parameters to be signed and upon
inspection, it was found that there are a number of other module
parameters that are signed, but should not be, so we make them unsigned.
Making them unsigned made it clear that some other variables in the code
should also be unsigned, so we also make those unsigned. This prevents
users from setting negative values that could potentially cause bad
behaviors. It also makes the code slightly easier to understand.
Mostly module parameters that deal with timeouts, limits, bitshifts and
percentages are made unsigned by this. Any that are boolean are left
signed, since whether booleans should be considered signed or unsigned
does not matter.
Making zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent unsigned caused a
`zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent >= 0` check to become redundant, so it was
removed. Removing the check was also necessary to prevent a compiler
error from -Werror=type-limits.
Several end of line comments had to be moved to their own lines because
replacing int with uint_t caused us to exceed the 80 character limit
enforced by cstyle.pl.
The following were kept signed because they are passed to
taskq_create(), which expects signed values and modifying the
OpenSolaris/Illumos DDI is out of scope of this patch:
* metaslab_load_pct
* zfs_sync_taskq_batch_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_nthr_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_minalloc
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_maxalloc
* zfs_arc_prune_task_threads
Also, negative values in those parameters was found to be harmless.
The following were left signed because either negative values make
sense, or more analysis was needed to determine whether negative values
should be disallowed:
* zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold
* zfs_pd_bytes_max
* zfs_livelist_min_percent_shared
zfs_multihost_history was made static to be consistent with other
parameters.
A number of module parameters were marked as signed, but in reality
referenced unsigned variables. upgrade_errlog_limit is one of the
numerous examples. In the case of zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active, it was
already uint32_t, but zdb had an extern int declaration for it.
Interestingly, the documentation in zfs.4 was right for
upgrade_errlog_limit despite the module parameter being wrongly marked,
while the documentation for zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active (and friends)
was wrong. It was also wrong for zstd_abort_size, which was unsigned,
but was documented as signed.
Also, the documentation in zfs.4 incorrectly described the following
parameters as ulong when they were int:
* zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts
* zfs_override_estimate_recordsize
They are now uint_t as of this patch and thus the man page has been
updated to describe them as uint.
dbuf_state_index was left alone since it does nothing and perhaps should
be removed in another patch.
If any module parameters were missed, they were not found by `grep -r
'ZFS_MODULE_PARAM' | grep ', INT'`. I did find a few that grep missed,
but only because they were in files that had hits.
This patch intentionally did not attempt to address whether some of
these module parameters should be elevated to 64-bit parameters, because
the length of a long on 32-bit is 32-bit.
Lastly, it was pointed out during review that uint_t is a better match
for these variables than uint32_t because FreeBSD kernel parameter
definitions are designed for uint_t, whose bit width can change in
future memory models. As a result, we change the existing parameters
that are uint32_t to use uint_t.

where it converts from `int64_t` to `int` when calling

36`, the int will be 0, since the low bits are 0. Even when some low
bits are set, a value such as `((1 << 36) + 1)` would truncate to 1,
which is wrong.
There is protection against this on 32-bit platforms, but on 64-bit

to allocate b_pabd/b_rabd for it, since arc_write() will free them

then arc_read() and arc_hdr_decrypt() allocate them explicitly.
Reduced memory allocation in user threads also reduces ARC eviction
throttling there, proportionally increasing it in ZIO threads, that
is not good. To minimize or even avoid it introduce ARC allocation
reserve, allowing certain arc_get_data_abd() callers to allocate a
bit longer in situations where user threads will already throttle.

arc_evict_hdr() returns number of evicted bytes in scope of specific
state. For ghost states it does not mean the amount of really freed
memory, but the logical buffer size. It is correct for the eviction
process, but not for waking up threads waiting for ARC size reduction,
as added in "Revise ARC shrinker algorithm" commit, causing premature
wakeups while ARC is still overflowed, allowing even bigger overflow,
plus processing overhead when next allocation will also get blocked,
probably also for too short time.
To fix that make arc_evict_hdr() also return the amount of really
freed memory, which for the ghost states is only the header, and use
it to update arc_evict_count instead. Originally I was thinking to
not return it at all, since arc_get_data_impl() does not account for
the headers, but decided that some slow allocation progress is better
than long waits, reaching on my tests up to 100ms.
To reduce negative latency effects of long time periods when reclaim
thread can free little real memory, start reclamation process earlier,
before we actually reached the overflow threshold, when we have to
throttle new allocations. We can also do it without taking global
arc_evict_lock, reducing the contention.

Closes#10635
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.
