Porting Notes:
* Included in this patch is a tiny ISP2() cleanup in zio_init() from
Illumos 5255.
* Unlike the upstream Illumos commit this patch does not impose an
arbitrary 128K block size limit on volumes. Volumes, like filesystems,
are limited by the zfs_max_recordsize=1M module option.
* By default the maximum record size is limited to 1M by the module
option zfs_max_recordsize. This value may be safely increased up to
16M which is the largest block size supported by the on-disk format.
At the moment, 1M blocks clearly offer a significant performance
improvement but the benefits of going beyond this for the majority
of workloads are less clear.
* The illumos version of this patch increased DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 32M.
This was determined not to be large enough when using 16M blocks
because the zfs_make_xattrdir() function will fail (EFBIG) when
assigning a TX. This was immediately observed under Linux because
all newly created files must have a security xattr created and
that was failing. Therefore, we've set DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 64M.
* On 32-bit platforms a hard limit of 1M is set for blocks due
to the limited virtual address space. We should be able to relax
this one the ABD patches are merged.

The culprit is that ZFS_EXIT(zsb) would call tsd_exit() every time, which
would purge all tsd data for the thread. However, ZFS_ENTER is designed to be
reentrant, so we cannot allow ZFS_EXIT to blindly purge tsd data.
Instead, we rely on the new behavior of tsd_set. When NULL is passed as the
new value to tsd_set, it will automatically remove the tsd entry specified the
the key for the current thread.
rrw_tsd_key and zfs_allow_log_key already calls tsd_set(key, NULL) when

Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was
to register a single callback for the ZPL. The ARC could invoke this
call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other
cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC. The ZPL
would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim.
For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations
in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems. This patch
is designed to address those issues.
1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes
it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in
a single callback. The most straight forward and portable way to
resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount.
The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple
callbacks so this is functionally a very small change.
2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory()
and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with
equivalent functionality. This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older
kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from
the caches if needed. This patch adds that missing functionality
by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be
pinning inodes. This will result in all unused cache entries being
dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface
available for old kernels.
3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than
2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback. This ensures
that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately
removed from the cache. If this isn't done than inode can end up on
the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them.
Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still
be recreated without performing disk IO.

Issue #435
To minimize the size of a kmutex_t a MUTEX_OWNER check was added.
It allowed the kmutex_t wrapper to leverage the mutex owner which was
already stored in the mutex for certain kernel configurations.
The upside to this was that it reduced the size of the kmutex_t wrapper
structure by the size of a task_struct pointer (4/8 bytes). The
downside was that two mutex implementations needed to be maintained.
Depending on your exact kernel configuration the correct one would
be selected.
Over the years this solution worked but it could be fragile since it
depending heavily on assumed kernel mutex implementation details. For
example the SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER_TASK_STRUCT configure check needed to
be added when the kernel changed how the owner was stored. It also
made the code more complicated than it needed to be.
Therefore, in the name of simplicity and portability this optimization
is being retired. It will slightly increase the memory requirements
for a kmutex_t but only very slightly.

The SA spill_cache was originally introduced to avoid the need to
perform large kmem or vmem allocations. Instead a small dedicated
cache of preallocated SA buffers was kept.
This solution was viable while the maximum block size was limited
to 128K. But with the planned increase of the maximum block size
to 16M callers need to migrate to the zio_buf_alloc(). However,
they should be aware this interface is expected to change again
once the zio buffers are fully backed by scatter-gather lists.
Alternately, if the callers know these buffers will never be large
or be infrequently accessed they may kmem_alloc() or vmem_alloc()
the needed temporary space.
This change has the additional benegit of bringing the code back
inline with the upstream Illumos source.

Commit 86dd0fd added preallocated I/O buffers. This is no longer

so that they either succeed of fail quicky. Either case is acceptable

As part of the spl kmem/vmem refactoring the kmem_cache_* functions
were split in to their own kmem_cache.h header. This was done in

Because of this we now much explicitly include kmem_cache.h in the
zfs_context.h. However, consumers such as Lustre which need access
to the KM_FLAGS but not the kmem_cache_* functions can now safely
just include kmem.h.

By marking DMU transaction processing contexts with PF_FSTRANS

Callers of kmem_alloc() which passed the KM_NODEBUG flag to suppress

A careful reader will notice that not all callers have been changed

In order to avoid deadlocking in the IO pipeline it is critical that

This change is designed to improve the memory utilization of
slabs by more carefully setting their size. The way the code
currently works is problematic for slabs which contain large
objects (>1MB). This is due to slabs being unconditionally
rounded up to a power of two which may result in unused space
at the end of the slab.
The reason the existing code rounds up every slab is because it
assumes it will backed by the buddy allocator. Since the buddy
allocator can only performs power of two allocations this is
desirable because it avoids wasting any space. However, this
logic breaks down if slab is backed by vmalloc() which operates
at a page level granularity. In this case, the optimal thing to
do is calculate the minimum required slab size given certain
constraints (object size, alignment, objects/slab, etc).
Therefore, this patch reworks the spl_slab_size() function so
that it sizes KMC_KMEM slabs differently than KMC_VMEM slabs.
KMC_KMEM slabs are rounded up to the nearest power of two, and
KMC_VMEM slabs are allowed to be the minimum required size.
This change also reduces the default number of objects per slab.
This reduces how much memory a single cache object can pin, which
can result in significant memory saving for highly fragmented
caches. But depending on the workload it may result in slabs
being allocated and freed more frequently. In practice, this
has been shown to be a better default for most workloads.
Also the maximum slab size has been reduced to 4MB on 32-bit
systems. Due to the limited virtual address space it's critical
the we be as frugal as possible. A limit of 4M still lets us
reasonably comfortably allocate a limited number of 1MB objects.
Finally, the kmem:slab_small and kmem:slab_large SPLAT tests
were extended to provide better test coverage of various object
sizes and alignments. Caches are created with random parameters
and their basic functionality is verified by allocating several
slabs worth of objects.

The port of XFS to Linux introduced a thread-specific PF_FSTRANS bit
that is used to mark contexts which are processing transactions. When
set, allocations in this context can dip into kernel memory reserves
to avoid deadlocks during writeback. Linux 3.9 provided the additional
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for disabling __GFP_IO in page allocations, which XFS
began using in 3.15.
This patch implements hooks for marking transactions via PF_FSTRANS.
When an allocation is performed in the context of PF_FSTRANS, any
KM_SLEEP allocation is transparently converted to a GFP_NOIO allocation.
Additionally, when using a Linux 3.9 or newer kernel, it will set
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO to prevent direct reclaim from entering pageout() on
on any KM_PUSHPAGE or KM_NOSLEEP allocation. This effectively allows
the spl_vmalloc() helper function to be used safely in a thread which
is responsible for IO.

This patch achieves the following goals:
1. It replaces the preprocessor kmem flag to gfp flag mapping with
proper translation logic. This eliminates the potential for
surprises that were previously possible where kmem flags were
mapped to gfp flags.
2. It maps vmem_alloc() allocations to kmem_alloc() for allocations
sized less than or equal to the newly-added spl_kmem_alloc_max
parameter. This ensures that small allocations will not contend
on a single global lock, large allocations can still be handled,
and potentially limited virtual address space will not be squandered.
This behavior is entirely different than under Illumos due to
different memory management strategies employed by the respective
kernels. However, this functionally provides the semantics required.
3. The --disable-debug-kmem, --enable-debug-kmem (default), and
--enable-debug-kmem-tracking allocators have been unified in to
a single spl_kmem_alloc_impl() allocation function. This was
done to simplify the code and make it more maintainable.
4. Improve portability by exposing an implementation of the memory
allocations functions that can be safely used in the same way
they are used on Illumos. Specifically, callers may safely
use KM_SLEEP in contexts which perform filesystem IO. This
allows us to eliminate an entire class of Linux specific changes
which were previously required to avoid deadlocking the system.
This change will be largely transparent to existing callers but there
are a few caveats:
1. Because the headers were refactored and extraneous includes removed
callers may find they need to explicitly add additional #includes.
In particular, kmem_cache.h must now be explicitly includes to
access the SPL's kmem cache implementation. This behavior is
different from Illumos but it was done to avoid always masking
the Linux slab functions when kmem.h is included.
2. Callers, like Lustre, which made assumptions about the definitions
of KM_SLEEP, KM_NOSLEEP, and KM_PUSHPAGE will need to be updated.
Other callers such as ZFS which did not will not require changes.
3. KM_PUSHPAGE is no longer overloaded to imply GFP_NOIO. It retains
its original meaning of allowing allocations to access reserved
memory. KM_PUSHPAGE callers can be converted back to KM_SLEEP.
4. The KM_NODEBUG flags has been retired and the default warning
threshold increased to 32k.
5. The kmem_virt() functions has been removed. For callers which
need to distinguish between a physical and virtual address use
is_vmalloc_addr().
