Linux 2.6.36 introduced REQ_SECURE to indicate when discards *must* be

Consequently, the discard semantics prior to 2.6.36 require us to always

regardless. This patch changes things to correctly restrict this
optimization to situations where REQ_SECURE exists, but is not included

Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.
Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.
Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:
1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.
An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.
Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

Since ZoL allows large blocks to be used by volumes, unlike upstream
illumos, the feature flag must be checked prior to volume creation.
This is critical because unlike filesystems, volumes will create a
object which uses large blocks as part of the create. Therefore, it
cannot be safely checked in zfs_check_settable() after the dataset
can been created.
In addition this patch updates the relevant error messages to use
zfs_nicenum() to print the maximum blocksize.

When support for large blocks was added DMU_MAX_ACCESS was increased
to allow for blocks of up to 16M to fit in a transaction handle.
This had the side effect of increasing the max_hw_sectors_kb for
volumes, which are scaled off DMU_MAX_ACCESS, to 64M from 10M.
This is an issue for volumes which by default use an 8K block size
because it results in dmu_buf_hold_array_by_dnode() allocating a
64K array for the dbufs. The solution is to restore the maximum
size to ~10M. This patch specifically changes it to 16M which is

Over the years the default values for the taskqs used on Linux have
differed slightly from illumos. In the vast majority of cases this
was done to avoid creating an obnoxious number of idle threads which
would pollute the process listing.
With the addition of support for dynamic taskqs all multi-threaded
queues should be created as dynamic taskqs. This allows us to get
the best of both worlds.
* The illumos default values for the I/O pipeline can be restored.
These values are known to work well for most workloads. The only
exception is the zio write interrupt taskq which is changed to
ZTI_P(12, 8). At least under Linux more threads has been shown
to improve performance, see commit 7e55f4e.
* Reduces the number of idle threads on the system when it's not
under heavy load. The maximum number of threads will only be
created when they are required.
* Remove the vdev_file_taskq and rely on the system_taskq instead
which is now dynamic and may have up to 64-threads. Again this
brings us back inline with upstream.
* Tasks dispatched with taskq_dispatch_ent() are allowed to use

Issue #1821
Early versions of ZFS coordinated the creation and destruction
of device minors from userspace. This was inherently racy and
in late 2009 these ioctl()s were removed leaving everything up
to the kernel. This significantly simplified the code.
However, we never picked up these changes in ZoL since we'd
already significantly adjusted this code for Linux. This patch
aims to rectify that by finally removing ZFC_IOC_*_MINOR ioctl()s
and moving all the functionality down in to the kernel. Since
this cleanup will change the kernel/user ABI it's being done
in the same tag as the previous libzfs_core ABI changes. This
will minimize, but not eliminate, the disruption to end users.
Once merged ZoL, Illumos, and FreeBSD will basically be back
in sync in regards to handling ZVOLs in the common code. While
each platform must have its own custom zvol.c implemenation the
interfaces provided are consistent.
NOTES:
1) This patch introduces one subtle change in behavior which
could not be easily avoided. Prior to this change callers
of 'zfs create -V ...' were guaranteed that upon exit the
/dev/zvol/ block device link would be created or an error
returned. That's no longer the case. The utilities will no
longer block waiting for the symlink to be created. Callers
are now responsible for blocking, this is why a 'udev_wait'
call was added to the 'label' function in scripts/common.sh.
2) The read-only behavior of a ZVOL now solely depends on if
the ZVOL_RDONLY bit is set in zv->zv_flags. The redundant
policy setting in the gendisk structure was removed. This
both simplifies the code and allows us to safely leverage
set_disk_ro() to issue a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent. See the
comment in the code for futher details on this.
3) Because __zvol_create_minor() and zvol_alloc() may now be
called in a sync task they must use KM_PUSHPAGE.

One of the side effects of calling zvol_create_minors() in
zvol_init() is that all pools listed in the cache file will
be opened. Depending on the state and contents of your pool
this operation can take a considerable length of time.
Doing this at load time is undesirable because the kernel
is holding a global module lock. This prevents other modules
from loading and can serialize an otherwise parallel boot
process. Doing this after module inititialization also
reduces the chances of accidentally introducing a race
during module init.
To ensure that /dev/zvol/<pool>/<dataset> devices are
still automatically created after the module load completes
a udev rules has been added. When udev notices that the
/dev/zfs device has been create the 'zpool list' command
will be run. This then will cause all the pools listed
in the zpool.cache file to be opened.
Because this process in now driven asynchronously by udev
there is the risk of problems in downstream distributions.

The new snapdev dataset property may be set to control the
visibility of zvol snapshot devices. By default this value
is set to 'hidden' which will prevent zvol snapshots from
appearing under /dev/zvol/ and /dev/<dataset>/. When set to
'visible' all zvol snapshots for the dataset will be visible.
This functionality was largely added because when automatic
snapshoting is enabled large numbers of read-only zvol snapshots
will be created. When creating these devices the kernel will
attempt to read their partition tables, and blkid will attempt
to identify any filesystems on those partitions. This leads
to a variety of issues:
1) The zvol partition tables will be read in the context of
the `modprobe zfs` for automatically imported pools. This
is undesirable and should be done asynchronously, but for
now reducing the number of visible devices helps.
2) Udev expects to be able to complete its work for a new
block devices fairly quickly. When many zvol devices are
added at the same time this is no longer be true. It can
lead to udev timeouts and missing /dev/zvol links.
3) Simply having lots of devices in /dev/ can be aukward from
a management standpoint. Hidding the devices your unlikely
to ever use helps with this. Any snapshot device which is
needed can be made visible by changing the snapdev property.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behavior for zvols which
was effectively 'snapdev=visible'.

In all but one case the spa_namespace_lock is taken before the
bdev->bd_mutex lock. But Linux __blkdev_get() function calls
fops->open() with the bdev->bd_mutex lock held and we must
somehow still safely acquire the spa_namespace_lock.
To avoid a potential lock inversion deadlock we preemptively
try to take the spa_namespace_lock(). Normally it will not
be contended and this is safe because spa_open_common() handles
the case where the caller already holds the spa_namespace_lock.
When it is contended we risk a lock inversion if we were to
block waiting for the lock. Luckily, the __blkdev_get()
function allows us to return -ERESTARTSYS which will result in
bdev->bd_mutex being dropped, reacquired, and fops->open() being
called again. This process can be repeated safely until both

It doesn't make sense for a zvol to use the default system I/O

We deliberately do not implement the method for older kernels

better to simply manually tune the scheduler for these kernels.

Currently, when processing DISCARD requests, zvol_discard() calls
dmu_free_long_range() with the precise offset and size of the request.
Unfortunately, this is not optimal for requests that are not aligned to
the zvol block boundaries. Indeed, in the case of an unaligned range,
dnode_free_range() will zero out the unaligned parts. Not only is this
useless since we are not freeing any space by doing so, it is also slow
because it translates to a read-modify-write operation.
This patch fixes the issue by rounding up the discard start offset to
the next volume block boundary, and rounding down the discard end
offset to the previous volume block boundary.

Differences between how paging is done on Solaris and Linux can cause
deadlocks if KM_SLEEP is used in any the following contexts.
* The txg_sync thread
* The zvol write/discard threads
* The zpl_putpage() VFS callback
This is because KM_SLEEP will allow for direct reclaim which may result
in the VM calling back in to the filesystem or block layer to write out
pages. If a lock is held over this operation the potential exists to
deadlock the system. To ensure forward progress all memory allocations
in these contexts must us KM_PUSHPAGE which disables performing any I/O
to accomplish the memory allocation.
Previously, this behavior was acheived by setting PF_MEMALLOC on the
thread. However, that resulted in unexpected side effects such as the
exhaustion of pages in ZONE_DMA. This approach touchs more of the zfs
code, but it is more consistent with the right way to handle these cases
under Linux.
This is patch lays the ground work for being able to safely revert the
following commits which used PF_MEMALLOC:

Issue #726
The txg_sync(), zfs_putpage(), zvol_write(), and zvol_discard()
call paths must only use KM_PUSHPAGE to avoid potential deadlocks
during direct reclaim.
This patch annotates these call paths so any accidental use of
KM_SLEEP will be quickly detected. In the interest of stability
if debugging is disabled the offending allocation will have its
GFP flags automatically corrected. When debugging is enabled
any misuse will be treated as a fatal error.
This patch is entirely for debugging. We should be careful to
NOT become dependant on it fixing up the incorrect allocations.

Currently, zvols have a discard granularity set to 0, which suggests to
the upper layer that discard requests of arbirarily small size and
alignment can be made efficiently.
In practice however, ZFS does not handle unaligned discard requests
efficiently: indeed, it is unable to free a part of a block. It will
write zeros to the specified range instead, which is both useless and
inefficient (see dnode_free_range).
With this patch, zvol block devices expose volblocksize as their discard
granularity, so the upper layer is aware that it's not supposed to send
discard requests smaller than volblocksize.

The number of blocks that can be discarded in one BLKDISCARD ioctl on a
zvol is currently unlimited. Some applications, such as mkfs, discard
the whole volume at once and they use the maximum possible discard size
to do that. As a result, several gigabytes discard requests are not
uncommon.
Unfortunately, if a large amount of data is allocated in the zvol, ZFS
can be quite slow to process discard requests. This is especially true
if the volblocksize is low (e.g. the 8K default). As a result, very
large discard requests can take a very long time (seconds to minutes
under heavy load) to complete. This can cause a number of problems, most
notably if the zvol is accessed remotely (e.g. via iSCSI), in which case
the client has a high probability of timing out on the request.
This patch solves the issue by adding a new tunable module parameter:
zvol_max_discard_blocks. This indicates the maximum possible range, in
zvol blocks, of one discard operation. It is set by default to 16384
blocks, which appears to be a good tradeoff. Using the default
volblocksize of 8K this is equivalent to 128 MB. When using the maximum
volblocksize of 128K this is equivalent to 2 GB.

ZoL can create more zvols at runtime than can be configured during
system start, which hangs the init stack at reboot.
When a slow system has more than a few hundred zvols, udev will
fork bomb during system start and spend too much time in device
detection routines, so upstart kills it.
The zfs_inhibit_dev option allows an affected system to be rescued
by skipping /dev/zd* creation and thereby avoiding the udev
overload. All zvols are made inaccessible if this option is set, but
the `zfs destroy` and `zfs send` commands still work, and ZFS
filesystems can be mounted.
