Improve performance of zio_taskq_member
__zio_execute() calls zio_taskq_member() to determine if we are running
in a zio interrupt taskq, in which case we may need to switch to
processing this zio in a zio issue taskq.  The call to
zio_taskq_member() can become a performance bottleneck when we are
processing a high rate of zio's.

zio_taskq_member() calls taskq_member() on each of the zio interrupt
taskqs, of which there are 21.  This is slow because each call to
taskq_member() does tsd_get(taskq_tsd), which on Linux is relatively
slow.

This commit improves the performance of zio_taskq_member() by having it
cache the value of tsd_get(taskq_tsd), reducing the number of those
calls to 1/21th of the current behavior.

In a test case running `zfs send -c >/dev/null` of a filesystem with
small blocks (average 2.5KB/block), zio_taskq_member() was using 6.7% of
one CPU, and with this change it is reduced to 1.3%.  Overall time to
perform the `zfs send` reduced by 10% (~150,000 block/sec to ~165,000
blocks/sec).

The Solaris Porting Layer, SPL, is a Linux kernel module which provides a compatibility layer used by the ZFS on Linux project.

Installation

The latest version of the SPL is maintained as part of this repository. Only when building ZFS version 0.7.x or earlier must an external SPL release be used. These releases can be found at:

Release

The SPL is released under a GPLv2 license.
