This review covers the reading and writing of compressed arc headers, sharing
data between the arc_hdr_t and the arc_buf_t, and the implementation of a new
dbuf cache to keep frequently access data uncompressed.
I've added a new member to l1 arc hdr called b_pdata. The b_pdata always hangs
off the arc_buf_hdr_t (if an L1 hdr is in use) and points to the physical block
for that DVA. The physical block may or may not be compressed. If compressed
arc is enabled and the block on-disk is compressed, then the b_pdata will match
the block on-disk and remain compressed in memory. If the block on disk is not
compressed, then neither will the b_pdata. Lastly, if compressed arc is
disabled, then b_pdata will always be an uncompressed version of the on-disk
block.
Typically the arc will cache only the arc_buf_hdr_t and will aggressively evict
any arc_buf_t's that are no longer referenced. This means that the arc will
primarily have compressed blocks as the arc_buf_t's are considered overhead and
are always uncompressed. When a consumer reads a block we first look to see if
the arc_buf_hdr_t is cached. If the hdr is cached then we allocate a new
arc_buf_t and decompress the b_pdata contents into the arc_buf_t's b_data. If
the hdr already has a arc_buf_t, then we will allocate an additional arc_buf_t
and bcopy the uncompressed contents from the first arc_buf_t to the new one.
Writing to the compressed arc requires that we first discard the b_pdata since
the physical block is about to be rewritten. The new data contents will be
passed in via an arc_buf_t (uncompressed) and during the I/O pipeline stages we
will copy the physical block contents to a newly allocated b_pdata.
When an l2arc is inuse it will also take advantage of the b_pdata. Now the
l2arc will always write the contents of b_pdata to the l2arc. This means that
when compressed arc is enabled that the l2arc blocks are identical to those
stored in the main data pool. This provides a significant advantage since we
can leverage the bp's checksum when reading from the l2arc to determine if the
contents are valid. If the compressed arc is disabled, then we must first
transform the read block to look like the physical block in the main data pool
before comparing the checksum and determining it's valid.

Issue #5078
For quite some time I was thinking about possibility to prefetch
ZFS indirection tables while doing sequential reads or writes.
Recent changes in predictive prefetcher made that much easier to
do. My tests on zvol with 16KB block size on 5x striped and 2x
mirrored pool of 10 disks show almost double throughput on sequential
read, and almost tripple on sequential rewrite. While for read alike
effect can be received from increasing maximal prefetch distance
(though at higher memory cost), for rewrite there is no other
solution so far.

Using a benchmark which has 32 threads creating 2 million files in the
same directory, on a machine with 16 CPU cores, I observed poor
performance. I noticed that dmu_tx_hold_zap() was using about 30% of
all CPU, and doing dnode_hold() 7 times on the same object (the ZAP
object that is being held).
dmu_tx_hold_zap() keeps a hold on the dnode_t the entire time it is
running, in dmu_tx_hold_t:txh_dnode, so it would be nice to use the
dnode_t that we already have in hand, rather than repeatedly calling
dnode_hold(). To do this, we need to pass the dnode_t down through
all the intermediate calls that dmu_tx_hold_zap() makes, making these
routines take the dnode_t* rather than an objset_t* and a uint64_t
object number. In particular, the following routines will need to have
analogous *_by_dnode() variants created:
dmu_buf_hold_noread()
dmu_buf_hold()
zap_lookup()
zap_lookup_norm()
zap_count_write()
zap_lockdir()
zap_count_write()
This can improve performance on the benchmark described above by 100%,
from 30,000 file creations per second to 60,000. (This improvement is on
top of that provided by working around the object allocation issue. Peak
performance of ~90,000 creations per second was observed with 8 CPUs;
adding CPUs past that decreased performance due to lock contention.) The
CPU used by dmu_tx_hold_zap() was reduced by 88%, from 340 CPU-seconds
to 40 CPU-seconds.

This is another bug in the long line of hole-birth related issues. In
this particular case, it was discovered that a previous hole-birth fix
(illumos bug 6513, commit bc77ba73) did not cover as many cases as we
thought it did. While the issue worked in the case of hole-punching
(writing zeroes to a large part of a file), it did not deal with
truncation, and then writing beyond the new end of the file.
The problem is that dbuf_findbp will return ENOENT if the block it's
trying to find is beyond the end of the file. If that happens, we assume
there is no birth time, and so we lose that information when we write
out new blkptrs. We should teach dbuf_findbp to look for things that are
beyond the current end, but not beyond the absolute end of the file.

- Fix ISO C90 mixed declaration error in dbuf.c ( int nlevels, epbs; ) ;

Under a workload which makes heavy use of `dbuf_hold()`, I noticed that a
considerable amount of time was spent in `dbuf_hold_impl()`, due to its call to
`kmem_zalloc(sizeof (struct dbuf_hold_impl_data) * DBUF_HOLD_IMPL_MAX_DEPTH)`,
which is around 2KiB. This structure is used as a stack, to limit the size of
the C stack as dbuf_hold() calls itself recursively. We make a recursive call
to hold the parent's dbuf when the requested dbuf is not found. The vast
majority of the time, the parent or grandparent indirect dbuf is cached, so the
number of recursive calls is very low. However, we initialize this entire
array for every call to dbuf_hold().
To improve performance, this commit changes `dbuf_hold()` to use `kmem_alloc()`
instead of `kmem_zalloc()`. __dbuf_hold_impl_init is changed to initialize all
members of the struct before they are used. I observed ~5% performance
improvement on a workload which creates many files.

Metadata-intensive workloads can cause the ARC to become permanently
filled with dnode_t objects as they're pinned by the VFS layer.
Subsequent data-intensive workloads may only benefit from about
25% of the potential ARC (arc_c_max - arc_meta_limit).
In order to help track metadata usage more precisely, the other_size
metadata arcstat has replaced with dbuf_size, dnode_size and bonus_size.
The new zfs_arc_dnode_limit tunable, which defaults to 10% of
zfs_arc_meta_limit, defines the minimum number of bytes which is desirable
to be consumed by dnodes. Attempts to evict non-metadata will trigger
async prune tasks if the space used by dnodes exceeds this limit.
The new zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent tunable specifies the amount by
which the excess dnode space is attempted to be pruned as a percentage of
the amount by which zfs_arc_dnode_limit is being exceeded. By default,
it tries to unpin 10% of the dnodes.
The problem of dnode metadata pinning was observed with the following
testing procedure (in this example, zfs_arc_max is set to 4GiB):
- Create a large number of small files until arc_meta_used exceeds
arc_meta_limit (3GiB with default tuning) and arc_prune
starts increasing.
- Create a 3GiB file with dd. Observe arc_mata_used. It will still
be around 3GiB.
- Repeatedly read the 3GiB file and observe arc_meta_limit as before.
It will continue to stay around 3GiB.
With this modification, space for the 3GiB file is gradually made
available as subsequent demands on the ARC are made. The previous behavior
can be restored by setting zfs_arc_dnode_limit to the same value as the
zfs_arc_meta_limit.

The db->db_blkptr must be set to NULL when DNODE_FLAG_SPILL_BLKPTR
is clear to ensure the dn_spill field is cleared.
Current txg = A.
* A new spill buffer is created. Its dbuf is initialized with
db_blkptr = NULL and it's dirtied.
Current txg = B.
* The spill buffer is modified. It's marked as dirty in this txg.
* Additional changes make the spill buffer unnecessary because the
xattr fits into the bonus buffer, so it's removed. The dbuf is
undirtied in this txg, but it's still referenced and cannot be
destroyed.
Current txg = C.
* Starts syncing of txg A
* dbuf_sync_leaf() is called for the spill buffer. Since db_blkptr
is NULL, dbuf_check_blkptr() is called.
* The dbuf starts being written and it reaches the ready state
(not done yet).
* A new change makes the spill buffer necessary again.
sa_build_layouts() ends up calling dbuf_find() to locate the
dbuf. It finds the old dbuf because it has not been destroyed yet
(it will be destroyed when the previous write is done and there
are no more references). The old dbuf has db_blkptr != NULL.
* txg A write is complete and the dbuf released. However it's still
referenced, so it's not destroyed.
Current txg = D.
* Starts syncing of txg B
* dbuf_sync_leaf() is called for the bonus buffer. Its contents are
directly copied into the dnode, overwriting the blkptr area because,
in txg B, the bonus buffer was big enough to hold the entire xattr.
* At this point, the db_blkptr of the spill buffer used in txg C
gets corrupted.

Justification
-------------
This feature adds support for variable length dnodes. Our motivation is
to eliminate the overhead associated with using spill blocks. Spill
blocks are used to store system attribute data (i.e. file metadata) that
does not fit in the dnode's bonus buffer. By allowing a larger bonus
buffer area the use of a spill block can be avoided. Spill blocks
potentially incur an additional read I/O for every dnode in a dnode
block. As a worst case example, reading 32 dnodes from a 16k dnode block
and all of the spill blocks could issue 33 separate reads. Now suppose
those dnodes have size 1024 and therefore don't need spill blocks. Then
the worst case number of blocks read is reduced to from 33 to two--one
per dnode block. In practice spill blocks may tend to be co-located on
disk with the dnode blocks so the reduction in I/O would not be this
drastic. In a badly fragmented pool, however, the improvement could be
significant.
ZFS-on-Linux systems that make heavy use of extended attributes would
benefit from this feature. In particular, ZFS-on-Linux supports the
xattr=sa dataset property which allows file extended attribute data
to be stored in the dnode bonus buffer as an alternative to the
traditional directory-based format. Workloads such as SELinux and the
Lustre distributed filesystem often store enough xattr data to force
spill bocks when xattr=sa is in effect. Large dnodes may therefore
provide a performance benefit to such systems.
Other use cases that may benefit from this feature include files with
large ACLs and symbolic links with long target names. Furthermore,
this feature may be desirable on other platforms in case future
applications or features are developed that could make use of a
larger bonus buffer area.
Implementation
--------------
The size of a dnode may be a multiple of 512 bytes up to the size of
a dnode block (currently 16384 bytes). A dn_extra_slots field was
added to the current on-disk dnode_phys_t structure to describe the
size of the physical dnode on disk. The 8 bits for this field were
taken from the zero filled dn_pad2 field. The field represents how
many "extra" dnode_phys_t slots a dnode consumes in its dnode block.
This convention results in a value of 0 for 512 byte dnodes which
preserves on-disk format compatibility with older software.
Similarly, the in-memory dnode_t structure has a new dn_num_slots field
to represent the total number of dnode_phys_t slots consumed on disk.
Thus dn->dn_num_slots is 1 greater than the corresponding
dnp->dn_extra_slots. This difference in convention was adopted
because, unlike on-disk structures, backward compatibility is not a
concern for in-memory objects, so we used a more natural way to
represent size for a dnode_t.
The default size for newly created dnodes is determined by the value of
a new "dnodesize" dataset property. By default the property is set to
"legacy" which is compatible with older software. Setting the property
to "auto" will allow the filesystem to choose the most suitable dnode
size. Currently this just sets the default dnode size to 1k, but future
code improvements could dynamically choose a size based on observed
workload patterns. Dnodes of varying sizes can coexist within the same
dataset and even within the same dnode block. For example, to enable
automatically-sized dnodes, run
# zfs set dnodesize=auto tank/fish
The user can also specify literal values for the dnodesize property.
These are currently limited to powers of two from 1k to 16k. The
power-of-2 limitation is only for simplicity of the user interface.
Internally the implementation can handle any multiple of 512 up to 16k,
and consumers of the DMU API can specify any legal dnode value.
The size of a new dnode is determined at object allocation time and
stored as a new field in the znode in-memory structure. New DMU
interfaces are added to allow the consumer to specify the dnode size
that a newly allocated object should use. Existing interfaces are
unchanged to avoid having to update every call site and to preserve
compatibility with external consumers such as Lustre. The new
interfaces names are given below. The versions of these functions that
don't take a dnodesize parameter now just call the _dnsize() versions
with a dnodesize of 0, which means use the legacy dnode size.
New DMU interfaces:
dmu_object_alloc_dnsize()
dmu_object_claim_dnsize()
dmu_object_reclaim_dnsize()
New ZAP interfaces:
zap_create_dnsize()
zap_create_norm_dnsize()
zap_create_flags_dnsize()
zap_create_claim_norm_dnsize()
zap_create_link_dnsize()
The constant DN_MAX_BONUSLEN is renamed to DN_OLD_MAX_BONUSLEN. The
spa_maxdnodesize() function should be used to determine the maximum
bonus length for a pool.
These are a few noteworthy changes to key functions:
* The prototype for dnode_hold_impl() now takes a "slots" parameter.
When the DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE flag is set, this parameter is used to
ensure the hole at the specified object offset is large enough to
hold the dnode being created. The slots parameter is also used
to ensure a dnode does not span multiple dnode blocks. In both of
these cases, if a failure occurs, ENOSPC is returned. Keep in mind,
these failure cases are only possible when using DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE.
If the DNODE_MUST_BE_ALLOCATED flag is set, "slots" must be 0.
dnode_hold_impl() will check if the requested dnode is already
consumed as an extra dnode slot by an large dnode, in which case
it returns ENOENT.
* The function dmu_object_alloc() advances to the next dnode block
if dnode_hold_impl() returns an error for a requested object.
This is because the beginning of the next dnode block is the only
location it can safely assume to either be a hole or a valid
starting point for a dnode.
* dnode_next_offset_level() and other functions that iterate
through dnode blocks may no longer use a simple array indexing
scheme. These now use the current dnode's dn_num_slots field to
advance to the next dnode in the block. This is to ensure we
properly skip the current dnode's bonus area and don't interpret it
as a valid dnode.
zdb
---
The zdb command was updated to display a dnode's size under the
"dnsize" column when the object is dumped.
For ZIL create log records, zdb will now display the slot count for
the object.
ztest
-----
Ztest chooses a random dnodesize for every newly created object. The
random distribution is more heavily weighted toward small dnodes to
better simulate real-world datasets.
Unused bonus buffer space is filled with non-zero values computed from
the object number, dataset id, offset, and generation number. This
helps ensure that the dnode traversal code properly skips the interior
regions of large dnodes, and that these interior regions are not
overwritten by data belonging to other dnodes. A new test visits each
object in a dataset. It verifies that the actual dnode size matches what
was stored in the ztest block tag when it was created. It also verifies
that the unused bonus buffer space is filled with the expected data
patterns.
ZFS Test Suite
--------------
Added six new large dnode-specific tests, and integrated the dnodesize
property into existing tests for zfs allow and send/recv.
Send/Receive
------------
ZFS send streams for datasets containing large dnodes cannot be received
on pools that don't support the large_dnode feature. A send stream with
large dnodes sets a DMU_BACKUP_FEATURE_LARGE_DNODE flag which will be
unrecognized by an incompatible receiving pool so that the zfs receive
will fail gracefully.
While not implemented here, it may be possible to generate a
backward-compatible send stream from a dataset containing large
dnodes. The implementation may be tricky, however, because the send
object record for a large dnode would need to be resized to a 512
byte dnode, possibly kicking in a spill block in the process. This
means we would need to construct a new SA layout and possibly
register it in the SA layout object. The SA layout is normally just
sent as an ordinary object record. But if we are constructing new
layouts while generating the send stream we'd have to build the SA
layout object dynamically and send it at the end of the stream.
For sending and receiving between pools that do support large dnodes,
the drr_object send record type is extended with a new field to store
the dnode slot count. This field was repurposed from unused padding
in the structure.
ZIL Replay
----------
The dnode slot count is stored in the uppermost 8 bits of the lr_foid
field. The bits were unused as the object id is currently capped at
48 bits.
Resizing Dnodes
---------------
It should be possible to resize a dnode when it is dirtied if the
current dnodesize dataset property differs from the dnode's size, but
this functionality is not currently implemented. Clearly a dnode can
only grow if there are sufficient contiguous unused slots in the
dnode block, but it should always be possible to shrink a dnode.
Growing dnodes may be useful to reduce fragmentation in a pool with
many spill blocks in use. Shrinking dnodes may be useful to allow
sending a dataset to a pool that doesn't support the large_dnode
feature.
Feature Reference Counting
--------------------------
The reference count for the large_dnode pool feature tracks the
number of datasets that have ever contained a dnode of size larger
than 512 bytes. The first time a large dnode is created in a dataset
the dataset is converted to an extensible dataset. This is a one-way
operation and the only way to decrement the feature count is to
destroy the dataset, even if the dataset no longer contains any large
dnodes. The complexity of reference counting on a per-dnode basis was
too high, so we chose to track it on a per-dataset basis similarly to
the large_block feature.

dnode_next_offset is used in a variety of places to iterate over the
holes or allocated blocks in a dnode. It operates under the premise that
it can iterate over the blockpointers of a dnode in open context while
holding only the dn_struct_rwlock as reader. Unfortunately, this premise
does not hold.
When we create the zio for a dbuf, we pass in the actual block pointer
in the indirect block above that dbuf. When we later zero the bp in
zio_write_compress, we are directly modifying the bp. The state of the
bp is now inconsistent from the perspective of dnode_next_offset: the bp
will appear to be a hole until zio_dva_allocate finally finishes filling
it in. In the meantime, dnode_next_offset can detect a hole in the dnode
when none exists.
I was able to experimentally demonstrate this behavior with the
following setup:
1. Create a file with 1 million dbufs.
2. Create a thread that randomly dirties L2 blocks by writing to the
first L0 block under them.
3. Observe dnode_next_offset, waiting for it to skip over a hole in the
middle of a file.
4. Do dnode_next_offset in a loop until we skip over such a non-existent
hole.
The fix is to ensure that it is valid to iterate over the indirect
blocks in a dnode while holding the dn_struct_rwlock by passing the zio
a copy of the BP and updating the actual BP in dbuf_write_ready while
holding the lock.

When running a kernel with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y, lockdep reports possible
recursive locking in some cases and possible circular locking dependency
in others, within the SPL and ZFS modules.
This patch uses a mutex type defined in SPL, MUTEX_NOLOCKDEP, to mark
such mutexes when they are initialized. This mutex type causes
attempts to take or release those locks to be wrapped in lockdep_off()
and lockdep_on() calls to silence the dependency checker and allow the
use of lock_stats to examine contention.
For RW locks, it uses an analogous lock type, RW_NOLOCKDEP.
The goal is that these locks are ultimately changed back to type
MUTEX_DEFAULT or RW_DEFAULT, after the locks are annotated to reflect
their relationship (e.g. z_name_lock below) or any real problem with the
lock dependencies are fixed.
Some of the affected locks are:
tc_open_lock:
=============
This is an array of locks, all with same name, which txg_quiesce must
take all of in order to move txg to next state. All default to the same
lockdep class, and so to lockdep appears recursive.
zp->z_name_lock:
================
In zfs_rmdir,
dzp = znode for the directory (input to zfs_dirent_lock)
zp = znode for the entry being removed (output of zfs_dirent_lock)
zfs_rmdir()->zfs_dirent_lock() takes z_name_lock in dzp
zfs_rmdir() takes z_name_lock in zp
Since both dzp and zp are type znode_t, the locks have the same default
class, and lockdep considers it a possible recursive lock attempt.
l->l_rwlock:
============
zap_expand_leaf() sometimes creates two new zap leaf structures, via
these call paths:
zap_deref_leaf()->zap_get_leaf_byblk()->zap_leaf_open()
zap_expand_leaf()->zap_create_leaf()->zap_expand_leaf()->zap_create_leaf()
Because both zap_leaf_open() and zap_create_leaf() initialize
l->l_rwlock in their (separate) leaf structures, the lockdep class is
the same, and the linux kernel believes these might both be the same
lock, and emits a possible recursive lock warning.

Under Linux filesystem threads responsible for handling I/O are
normally created with the maximum priority. Non-I/O filesystem
processes run with the default priority. ZFS should adopt the
same priority scheme under Linux to maintain good performance
and so that it will complete fairly when other Linux filesystems
are active. The priorities have been updated to the following:

Note that under Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted
with respect to illumos. High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority
while high value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.
In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted. This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.

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.

Issue #3172
There are regions in the ZFS code where it is desirable to be able
to be set PF_FSTRANS while a specific mutex is held. The ZFS code
could be updated to set/clear this flag in all the correct places,
but this is undesirable for a few reasons.
1) It would require changes to a significant amount of the ZFS
code. This would complicate applying patches from upstream.
2) It would be easy to accidentally miss a critical region in
the initial patch or to have an future change introduce a
new one.
Both of these concerns can be addressed by using a new mutex type
which is responsible for managing PF_FSTRANS, support for which was
added to the SPL in commit zfsonlinux/spl@9099312 - Merge branch
'kmem-rework'.

By marking DMU transaction processing contexts with PF_FSTRANS
we can revert the KM_PUSHPAGE -> KM_SLEEP changes. This brings
us back in line with upstream. In some cases this means simply
swapping the flags back. For others fnvlist_alloc() was replaced
by nvlist_alloc(..., KM_PUSHPAGE) and must be reverted back to
fnvlist_alloc() which assumes KM_SLEEP.
The one place KM_PUSHPAGE is kept is when allocating ARC buffers
which allows us to dip in to reserved memory. This is again the
same as upstream.

Older versions of GCC (e.g. GCC 4.4.7 on RHEL6) do not allow duplicate
typedef declarations with the same type. The trace.h header contains
some typedefs to avoid 'unknown type' errors for C files that haven't
declared the type in question. But this causes build failures for C
files that have already declared the type. Newer versions of GCC (e.g.
v4.6) allow duplicate typedefs with the same type unless pedantic error
checking is in force. To support the older versions we need to remove
the duplicate typedefs.
Removal of the typedefs means we can't built tracepoints code using
those types unless the required headers have been included. To
facilitate this, all tracepoint event declarations have been moved out
of trace.h into separate headers. Each new header is explicitly included
from the C file that uses the events defined therein. The trace.h header
is still indirectly included form zfs_context.h and provides the
implementation of the dprintf(), dbgmsg(), and SET_ERROR() interfaces.
This makes those interfaces readily available throughout the code base.
The macros that redefine DTRACE_PROBE* to use Linux tracepoints are also
still provided by trace.h, so it is a prerequisite for the other
trace_*.h headers.
These new Linux implementation-specific headers do introduce a small
divergence from upstream ZFS in several core C files, but this should
not present a significant maintenance burden.

Issue #2953
If a spill block's dbuf hasn't yet been written when a spill block is
freed, the unwritten version will still be written. This patch handles
the case in which a spill block's dbuf is freed and undirties it to
prevent it from being written.
The most common case in which this could happen is when xattr=sa is being
used and a long xattr is immediately replaced by a short xattr as in:
setfattr -n user.test -v very_very_very..._long_value <file>
setfattr -n user.test -v short_value <file>
The first value must be sufficiently long that a spill block is generated
and the second value must be short enough to not require a spill block.
In practice, this would typically happen due to internal xattr operations
as a result of setting acltype=posixacl.

The general strategy used by ZFS to verify that blocks are valid is
to checksum everything. This has the advantage of being extremely
robust and generically applicable regardless of the contents of
the block. If a blocks checksum is valid then its contents are
trusted by the higher layers.
This system works exceptionally well as long as bad data is never
written with a valid checksum. If this does somehow occur due to
a software bug or a memory bit-flip on a non-ECC system it may
result in kernel panic.
One such place where this could occur is if somehow the logical
size stored in a block pointer exceeds the maximum block size.
This will result in an attempt to allocate a buffer greater than
the maximum block size causing a system panic.
To prevent this from happening the arc_read() function has been
updated to detect this specific case. If a block pointer with an
invalid logical size is passed it will treat the block as if it
contained a checksum error.

When the system attributes (SAs) for an object exceed what can
can be stored in the bonus area of a dnode a spill block is
allocated. These spill blocks are currently considered data
blocks. However, they should be accounted for as meta data
because they are effectively an extension of the dnode.
While this may seem like a minor accounting issue it has broader
implications. The key thing to be aware of is that each spill
block will hold a reference on its parent dnode. The dnode in
turn holds a reference on its dbuf in the dnode object. This
means that a single 512 byte data buffer for a spill block can
pin over 16k of meta data. This is analogous to the small file
situation described in 2b13331 where a relatively small number
of data buffer can cause the ARC to exceed the meta limit.
However, unlike the small file case a spill block can legitimately
be considered meta data. By changing the spill block to meta data
they will now be dropped from the cache when the meta limit is
reached. This then allows the dnodes and dbufs which the spill
block was pinning to be released.
