Switch FIFO queues (SYNC/TRIM) and active queue of vdev queue from
time-sorted AVL-trees to simple lists. AVL-trees are too expensive
for such a simple task. To change I/O priority without searching
through the trees, add io_queue_state field to struct zio.
To not check number of queued I/Os for each priority add vq_cqueued
bitmap to struct vdev_queue. Update it when adding/removing I/Os.
Make vq_cactive a separate array instead of struct vdev_queue_class
member. Together those allow to avoid lots of cache misses when
looking for work in vdev_queue_class_to_issue().
Introduce deadline of ~0.5s for LBA-sorted queues. Before this I
saw some I/Os waiting in a queue for up to 8 seconds and possibly
more due to starvation. With this change I no longer see it. I
had to slightly more complicate the comparison function, but since
it uses all the same cache lines the difference is minimal. For a
sequential I/Os the new code in vdev_queue_io_to_issue() actually
often uses more simple avl_first(), falling back to avl_find() and
avl_nearest() only when needed.
Arrange members in struct zio to access only one cache line when
searching through vdev queues. While there, remove io_alloc_node,
reusing the io_queue_node instead. Those two are never used same
time.
Remove zfs_vdev_aggregate_trim parameter. It was disabled for 4
years since implemented, while still wasted time maintaining the
offset-sorted tree of TRIM requests. Just remove the tree.
Remove locking from txg_all_lists_empty(). It is racy by design,
while 2 pair of locks/unlocks take noticeable time under the vdev
queue lock.
With these changes in my tests with volblocksize=4KB I measure vdev
queue lock spin time reduction by 50% on read and 75% on write.
