Normally, we don't allow the last 3.2% (1/(2^spa_slop_shift)) of space

completely out of space, due to unaccounted changes (e.g. to the MOS).

It also limits the worst-case time to allocate space. If we have

\fBzfs_free_leak_on_eio\fR (int)
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
If destroy encounters an EIO while reading metadata (e.g. indirect
|
|
blocks), space referenced by the missing metadata can not be freed.
|
|
Normally this causes the background destroy to become "stalled", as
|
|
it is unable to make forward progress. While in this stalled state,
|
|
all remaining space to free from the error-encountering filesystem is
|
|
"temporarily leaked". Set this flag to cause it to ignore the EIO,
|
|
permanently leak the space from indirect blocks that can not be read,
|
|
and continue to free everything else that it can.
|
|
|
|
The default, "stalling" behavior is useful if the storage partially
|
|
fails (i.e. some but not all i/os fail), and then later recovers. In
|
|
this case, we will be able to continue pool operations while it is
|
|
partially failed, and when it recovers, we can continue to free the
|
|
space, with no leaks. However, note that this case is actually
|
|
fairly rare.
|
|
|
|
Typically pools either (a) fail completely (but perhaps temporarily,
|
|
e.g. a top-level vdev going offline), or (b) have localized,
|
|
permanent errors (e.g. disk returns the wrong data due to bit flip or
|
|
firmware bug). In case (a), this setting does not matter because the
|
|
pool will be suspended and the sync thread will not be able to make
|
|
forward progress regardless. In case (b), because the error is
|
|
permanent, the best we can do is leak the minimum amount of space,
|
|
which is what setting this flag will do. Therefore, it is reasonable

We currently support block sizes from 512 bytes to 16MB. The benefits of
|
|
larger blocks, and thus larger IO, need to be weighed against the cost of
|
|
COWing a giant block to modify one byte. Additionally, very large blocks
|
|
can have an impact on i/o latency, and also potentially on the memory
|
|
allocator. Therefore, we do not allow the recordsize to be set larger than
|
|
zfs_max_recordsize (default 1MB). Larger blocks can be created by changing
|
|
this tunable, and pools with larger blocks can always be imported and used,
|
|
regardless of this setting.

|
|
Defines a threshold at which metaslab groups should be eligible for
|
|
allocations. The value is expressed as a percentage of free space
|
|
beyond which a metaslab group is always eligible for allocations.
|
|
If a metaslab group's free space is less than or equal to the
|
|
threshold, the allocator will avoid allocating to that group
|
|
unless all groups in the pool have reached the threshold. Once all
|
|
groups have reached the threshold, all groups are allowed to accept
|
|
allocations. The default value of 0 disables the feature and causes
|
|
all metaslab groups to be eligible for allocations.
|
|
|
|
This parameter allows to deal with pools having heavily imbalanced
|
|
vdevs such as would be the case when a new vdev has been added.
|
|
Setting the threshold to a non-zero percentage will stop allocations
|
|
from being made to vdevs that aren't filled to the specified percentage
|
|
and allow lesser filled vdevs to acquire more allocations than they
|
|
otherwise would under the old \fBzfs_mg_alloc_failures\fR facility.

.SH ZFS I/O SCHEDULER
|
|
ZFS issues I/O operations to leaf vdevs to satisfy and complete I/Os.
|
|
The I/O scheduler determines when and in what order those operations are
|
|
issued. The I/O scheduler divides operations into five I/O classes
|
|
prioritized in the following order: sync read, sync write, async read,
|
|
async write, and scrub/resilver. Each queue defines the minimum and
|
|
maximum number of concurrent operations that may be issued to the
|
|
device. In addition, the device has an aggregate maximum,
|
|
\fBzfs_vdev_max_active\fR. Note that the sum of the per-queue minimums
|
|
must not exceed the aggregate maximum. If the sum of the per-queue
|
|
maximums exceeds the aggregate maximum, then the number of active I/Os
|
|
may reach \fBzfs_vdev_max_active\fR, in which case no further I/Os will
|
|
be issued regardless of whether all per-queue minimums have been met.
|
|
.sp
|
|
For many physical devices, throughput increases with the number of
|
|
concurrent operations, but latency typically suffers. Further, physical
|
|
devices typically have a limit at which more concurrent operations have no
|
|
effect on throughput or can actually cause it to decrease.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The scheduler selects the next operation to issue by first looking for an
|
|
I/O class whose minimum has not been satisfied. Once all are satisfied and
|
|
the aggregate maximum has not been hit, the scheduler looks for classes
|
|
whose maximum has not been satisfied. Iteration through the I/O classes is
|
|
done in the order specified above. No further operations are issued if the
|
|
aggregate maximum number of concurrent operations has been hit or if there
|
|
are no operations queued for an I/O class that has not hit its maximum.
|
|
Every time an I/O is queued or an operation completes, the I/O scheduler
|
|
looks for new operations to issue.
|
|
.sp
|
|
In general, smaller max_active's will lead to lower latency of synchronous
|
|
operations. Larger max_active's may lead to higher overall throughput,
|
|
depending on underlying storage.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The ratio of the queues' max_actives determines the balance of performance
|
|
between reads, writes, and scrubs. E.g., increasing
|
|
\fBzfs_vdev_scrub_max_active\fR will cause the scrub or resilver to complete
|
|
more quickly, but reads and writes to have higher latency and lower throughput.
|
|
.sp
|
|
All I/O classes have a fixed maximum number of outstanding operations
|
|
except for the async write class. Asynchronous writes represent the data
|
|
that is committed to stable storage during the syncing stage for
|
|
transaction groups. Transaction groups enter the syncing state
|
|
periodically so the number of queued async writes will quickly burst up
|
|
and then bleed down to zero. Rather than servicing them as quickly as
|
|
possible, the I/O scheduler changes the maximum number of active async
|
|
write I/Os according to the amount of dirty data in the pool. Since
|
|
both throughput and latency typically increase with the number of
|
|
concurrent operations issued to physical devices, reducing the
|
|
burstiness in the number of concurrent operations also stabilizes the
|
|
response time of operations from other -- and in particular synchronous
|
|
-- queues. In broad strokes, the I/O scheduler will issue more
|
|
concurrent operations from the async write queue as there's more dirty
|
|
data in the pool.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Async Writes
|
|
.sp
|
|
The number of concurrent operations issued for the async write I/O class
|
|
follows a piece-wise linear function defined by a few adjustable points.

.fi
|
|
Until the amount of dirty data exceeds a minimum percentage of the dirty
|
|
data allowed in the pool, the I/O scheduler will limit the number of
|
|
concurrent operations to the minimum. As that threshold is crossed, the
|
|
number of concurrent operations issued increases linearly to the maximum at
|
|
the specified maximum percentage of the dirty data allowed in the pool.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Ideally, the amount of dirty data on a busy pool will stay in the sloped
|
|
part of the function between \fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent\fR
|
|
and \fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent\fR. If it exceeds the
|
|
maximum percentage, this indicates that the rate of incoming data is
|
|
greater than the rate that the backend storage can handle. In this case, we
|
|
must further throttle incoming writes, as described in the next section.
|
|
|
|
.SH ZFS TRANSACTION DELAY
|
|
We delay transactions when we've determined that the backend storage
|
|
isn't able to accommodate the rate of incoming writes.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If there is already a transaction waiting, we delay relative to when
|
|
that transaction will finish waiting. This way the calculated delay time
|
|
is independent of the number of threads concurrently executing
|
|
transactions.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If we are the only waiter, wait relative to when the transaction
|
|
started, rather than the current time. This credits the transaction for
|
|
"time already served", e.g. reading indirect blocks.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The minimum time for a transaction to take is calculated as:
|
|
.nf
|
|
min_time = zfs_delay_scale * (dirty - min) / (max - dirty)
|
|
min_time is then capped at 100 milliseconds.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
The delay has two degrees of freedom that can be adjusted via tunables. The
|
|
percentage of dirty data at which we start to delay is defined by
|
|
\fBzfs_delay_min_dirty_percent\fR. This should typically be at or above
|
|
\fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent\fR so that we only start to
|
|
delay after writing at full speed has failed to keep up with the incoming write
|
|
rate. The scale of the curve is defined by \fBzfs_delay_scale\fR. Roughly speaking,
|
|
this variable determines the amount of delay at the midpoint of the curve.

Note that since the delay is added to the outstanding time remaining on the
|
|
most recent transaction, the delay is effectively the inverse of IOPS.
|
|
Here the midpoint of 500us translates to 2000 IOPS. The shape of the curve
|
|
was chosen such that small changes in the amount of accumulated dirty data
|
|
in the first 3/4 of the curve yield relatively small differences in the
|
|
amount of delay.

Note here that only as the amount of dirty data approaches its limit does
|
|
the delay start to increase rapidly. The goal of a properly tuned system
|
|
should be to keep the amount of dirty data out of that range by first
|
|
ensuring that the appropriate limits are set for the I/O scheduler to reach
|
|
optimal throughput on the backend storage, and then by changing the value
|
|
of \fBzfs_delay_scale\fR to increase the steepness of the curve.
