George Wilson c10d37dd9f zfs initialize performance enhancements ... PROBLEM ======== When invoking "zpool initialize" on a pool the command will create a thread to initialize each disk. Unfortunately, it does this serially across many transaction groups which can result in commands taking a long time to return to the user and may appear hung. The same thing is true when trying to suspend/cancel the operation. SOLUTION ========= This change refactors the way we invoke the initialize interface to ensure we can start or stop the intialization in just a few transaction groups. When stopping or cancelling a vdev initialization perform it in two phases. First signal each vdev initialization thread that it should exit, then after all threads have been signaled wait for them to exit. On a pool with 40 leaf vdevs this reduces the vdev initialize stop/cancel time from ~10 minutes to under a second. The reason for this is spa_vdev_initialize() no longer needs to wait on multiple full TXGs per leaf vdev being stopped. This commit additionally adds some missing checks for the passed "initialize_vdevs" input nvlist. The contents of the user provided input "initialize_vdevs" nvlist must be validated to ensure all values are uint64s. This is done in zfs_ioc_pool_initialize() in order to keep all of these checks in a single location. Updated the innvl and outnvl comments to match the formatting used for all other new sytle ioctls.
