379ca9cf2b Multi-modifier protection (MMP)
Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP.  When enabled
a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a
set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported.
These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated
timestamp.  Property defaults to off.

During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp)
repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock.  Include the
results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport.
These results are reported to user in "zpool import".

Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the
duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter
zfs_multihost_interval.  The period is specified in milliseconds.  The
activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the
mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially.

Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier
Protection (MMP) updates. Include the last synced txg number, the
timestamp, the delay since the last MMP update, the VDEV GUID, the VDEV
label that received the last MMP update, and the VDEV path.  Abbreviated
output below.

Add a new tunable zfs_multihost_history to specify the number of MMP
updates to store history for. By default it is set to zero meaning that
no MMP statistics are stored.

When using ztest to generate activity, for automated tests of the MMP
function, some test functions interfere with the test.  For example, the
pool is exported to run zdb and then imported again.  Add a new ztest
function, "-M", to alter ztest behavior to prevent this.

Add new tests to verify the new functionality.  Tests provided by
Giuseppe Di Natale.

cf8738d853 Add port of FreeBSD 'volmode' property
The volmode property may be set to control the visibility of ZVOL
block devices.

This allow switching ZVOL between three modes:
   full - existing fully functional behaviour (default)
   dev  - hide partitions on ZVOL block devices
   none - not exposing volumes outside ZFS

Additionally the new zvol_volmode module parameter can be used to
control the default behaviour.

This functionality can be used, for instance, on "backup" pools to
avoid cluttering /dev with unneeded zd* devices.

1b7c1e5ce9 OpenZFS 7578 - Fix/improve some aspects of ZIL writing
- After some ZIL changes 6 years ago zil_slog_limit got partially broken
due to zl_itx_list_sz not updated when async itx'es upgraded to sync.
Actually because of other changes about that time zl_itx_list_sz is not
really required to implement the functionality, so this patch removes
some unneeded broken code and variables.

 - Original idea of zil_slog_limit was to reduce chance of SLOG abuse by
single heavy logger, that increased latency for other (more latency critical)
loggers, by pushing heavy log out into the main pool instead of SLOG.  Beside
huge latency increase for heavy writers, this implementation caused double
write of all data, since the log records were explicitly prepared for SLOG.
Since we now have I/O scheduler, I've found it can be much more efficient
to reduce priority of heavy logger SLOG writes from ZIO_PRIORITY_SYNC_WRITE
to ZIO_PRIORITY_ASYNC_WRITE, while still leave them on SLOG.

 - Existing ZIL implementation had problem with space efficiency when it
has to write large chunks of data into log blocks of limited size.  In some
cases efficiency stopped to almost as low as 50%.  In case of ZIL stored on
spinning rust, that also reduced log write speed in half, since head had to
uselessly fly over allocated but not written areas.  This change improves
the situation by offloading problematic operations from z*_log_write() to
zil_lwb_commit(), which knows real situation of log blocks allocation and
can split large requests into pieces much more efficiently.  Also as side
effect it removes one of two data copy operations done by ZIL code WR_COPIED
case.

 - While there, untangle and unify code of z*_log_write() functions.
Also zfs_log_write() alike to zvol_log_write() can now handle writes crossing
block boundary, that may also improve efficiency if ZPL is made to do that.

When multiple filesystems are in use, memory pressure causes arc_cache
to collapse to a minimum. Allow arc_cache to maintain proportional size
even when hit rates are disproportionate. We do this only via evictable
size from the kernel shrinker, thus it's only in effect under memory

692e55b8fe Reinstate zvol_taskq to fix aio on zvol
Commit 37f9dac removed the zvol_taskq for processing zvol requests.
This was removed as part of switching to make_request_fn and was
motivated by a concern at the time over dispatch latency.

However, this also made all bio request synchronous, and caused
serious performance issues as the bio submitter would wait for
every bio it submitted, effectively making the IO depth 1.

This patch reinstate zvol_taskq, and to make sure overlapped I/Os
are ordered properly, we take range lock in zvol_request, and pass
it along with bio to the I/O functions zvol_{write,discard,read}.

In order to facilitate benchmarks a zvol_request_sync module
option was added to switch between sync and async request handling.
For the moment, the default behavior is synchronous but this is
likely to change pending additional testing.

06226b5936 Increase zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active to 2
Resilver operations frequently cause only a small amount of dirty data
to be written to disk at a time, resulting in the IO scheduler to only
issue 1 write at a time to the resilvering disk. When it is rotational
media the drive will often travel past the next sector to be written
before receiving a write command from ZFS, significantly delaying the
write of the next sector.

Raise zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active so that drives are kept fed
during resilvering.

b81a3ddc32 Update deadman operation to better align with upstream OpenZFS
The deadman in ZoL didn't behave quite as it did in upstream
OpenZFS.  In addition to the 2 purposes for which OpenZFS used the
zfs_deadman_synctime_ms parameter, ZoL also used it to determine how
frequently the deadman would fire once it has been triggered.

This patch adds the zfs_deadman_checktime_ms parameter to control how
frequently the subsequent checks are performed.

The deadman is now disabled for suspended pools.

As had been the case, unlike upstream OpenZFS, ZoL will not panic when
a hung IO is detected.

The module parameter documentation has been upated to include the new
parameter and to better describe the operation of the deadmen.

When write I/Os are issued, they are issued in block order but the ZIO
pipeline will drive them asynchronously through the allocation stage
which can result in blocks being allocated out-of-order. It would be
nice to preserve as much of the logical order as possible.

In addition, the allocations are equally scattered across all top-level
VDEVs but not all top-level VDEVs are created equally. The pipeline
should be able to detect devices that are more capable of handling
allocations and should allocate more blocks to those devices. This
allows for dynamic allocation distribution when devices are imbalanced
as fuller devices will tend to be slower than empty devices.

The change includes a new pool-wide allocation queue which would
throttle and order allocations in the ZIO pipeline. The queue would be
ordered by issued time and offset and would provide an initial amount of
allocation of work to each top-level vdev. The allocation logic utilizes
a reservation system to reserve allocations that will be performed by
the allocator. Once an allocation is successfully completed it's
scheduled on a given top-level vdev. Each top-level vdev maintains a
maximum number of allocations that it can handle (mg_alloc_queue_depth).
The pool-wide reserved allocations (top-levels * mg_alloc_queue_depth)
are distributed across the top-level vdevs metaslab groups and round
robin across all eligible metaslab groups to distribute the work. As
top-levels complete their work, they receive additional work from the
pool-wide allocation queue until the allocation queue is emptied.

62a65a654e Add parity generation/rebuild using 128-bits NEON for Aarch64
This re-use the framework established for SSE2, SSSE3 and
AVX2. However, GCC is using FP registers on Aarch64, so
unlike SSE/AVX2 we can't rely on the registers being left alone
between ASM statements. So instead, the NEON code uses
C variables and GCC extended ASM syntax. Note that since
the kernel explicitly disable vector registers, they
have to be locally re-enabled explicitly.

As we use the variable's number to define the symbolic
name, and GCC won't allow duplicate symbolic names,
numbers have to be unique. Even when the code is not
going to be used (e.g. the case for 4 registers when
using the macro with only 2). Only the actually used
variables should be declared, otherwise the build
will fails in debug mode.

This requires the replacement of the XOR(X,X) syntax
by a new ZERO(X) macro, which does the same thing but
without repeating the argument. And perhaps someday
there will be a machine where there is a more efficient
way to zero a register than XOR with itself. This affects
scalar, SSE2, SSSE3 and AVX2 as they need the new macro.

It's possible to write faster implementations (different
scheduling, different unrolling, interleaving NEON and
scalar, ...) for various cores, but this one has the
advantage of fitting in the current state of the code,
and thus is likely easier to review/check/merge.

The only difference between aarch64-neon and aarch64-neonx2
is that aarch64-neonx2 unroll some functions some more.

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.

ARC will evict meta buffers that exceed the arc_meta_limit. Before a further
investigating on whether we should take special protection on meta buffers,
this tunable make arc_meta_limit adjustable for different workloads.

People can set zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent to any value while insmod zfs.ko,
so some range check is added to guarantee a suitable arc_meta_limit.

Suggested by Tim Chase, zfs_arc_dnode_limit is changed to a percent-style
tunable as well.

25458cbef9 Limit the amount of dnode metadata in the ARC
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.

than all other available implementations.

The module benchmark was also amended to analyze the performance of
the byteswap-ed version of Fletcher-4, as well as the non-byteswaped
version. The average performance of the two is used to select the
the fastest implementation available on the host system.

Adds a pair of fields to an existing zcommon module parameter:

ab9f4b0b82 SIMD implementation of vdev_raidz generate and reconstruct routines
This is a new implementation of RAIDZ1/2/3 routines using x86_64
scalar, SSE, and AVX2 instruction sets. Included are 3 parity
generation routines (P, PQ, and PQR) and 7 reconstruction routines,
for all RAIDZ level. On module load, a quick benchmark of supported
routines will select the fastest for each operation and they will
be used at runtime. Original implementation is still present and
can be selected via module parameter.

Patch contains:
- specialized gen/rec routines for all RAIDZ levels,
- new scalar raidz implementation (unrolled),
- two x86_64 SIMD implementations (SSE and AVX2 instructions sets),
- fastest routines selected on module load (benchmark).
- cmd/raidz_test - verify and benchmark all implementations
- added raidz_test to the ZFS Test Suite

New zfs module parameters:
- zfs_vdev_raidz_impl (str): selects the implementation to use. On
  module load, the parameter will only accept first 3 options, and
  the other implementations can be set once module is finished
  loading. Possible values for this option are:
    "fastest" - use the fastest math available
    "original" - use the original raidz code
    "scalar" - new scalar impl
    "sse" - new SSE impl if available
    "avx2" - new AVX2 impl if available

See contents of `/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_vdev_raidz_impl` to
get the list of supported values. If an implementation is not supported
on the system, it will not be shown. Currently selected option is
enclosed in `[]`.

9f500936c8 FreeBSD r256956: Improve ZFS N-way mirror read performance by using load and locality information.
The existing algorithm selects a preferred leaf vdev based on offset of the zio
request modulo the number of members in the mirror. It assumes the devices are
of equal performance and that spreading the requests randomly over both drives
will be sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the leaf vdevs
being under utilized.

The new algorithm takes into the following additional factors:
* Load of the vdevs (number outstanding I/O requests)
* The locality of last queued I/O vs the new I/O request.

Within the locality calculation additional knowledge about the underlying vdev
is considered such as; is the device backing the vdev a rotating media device.

This results in performance increases across the board as well as significant
increases for predominantly streaming loads and for configurations which don't
have evenly performing devices.

The following are results from a setup with 3 Way Mirror with 2 x HD's and
1 x SSD from a basic test running multiple parrallel dd's.

With pre-fetch disabled (vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1):

== Load Balanced (locality freebsd) ==

In addition to the performance changes the code was also restructured, with
the help of Justin Gibbs, to provide a more logical flow which also ensures
vdevs loads are only calculated from the set of valid candidates.

The following additional sysctls where added to allow the administrator
to tune the behaviour of the load algorithm:
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_seek_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.rotating_seek_offset
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.non_rotating_inc
* vfs.zfs.vdev.mirror.non_rotating_seek_inc

a966c5640e Reintroduce zfs_remove() synchronous deletes
Reintroduce a slightly adapted version of the Illumos logic for
synchronous unlinks.  The basic idea here is that only files
smaller than zfs_delete_blocks (20480) blocks should be deleted
synchronously.  Unlinking larger files should be handled
asynchronously to minimize impact to the caller.

To accomplish this iput() which is responsible for calling
zfs_znode_delete() on Linux is only called in the delete_now
path.  Otherwise zfs_async_iput() is used which allows the
last reference to be dropped by a taskq thread effectively
making the removal asynchronous.

Porting notes:
- Add zfs_delete_blocks module option for performance analysis.
  The default value is DMU_MAX_DELETEBLKCNT which is the same
  as upstream.  Reducing this value means that smaller files
  will be unlinked asynchronously like large files.
- All occurrences of zfsvfs changes to zsb.

9965059ab9 Prefetch start and end of volumes
When adding a zvol to the system prefetch zvol_prefetch_bytes from the
start and end of the volume.  Prefetching these regions of the volume is
desirable because they are likely to be accessed immediately by blkid(8),
the kernel scanning for a partition table, or another task which probes
the devices.

3b36f8319d Add dbgmsg kstat
Internally ZFS keeps a small log to facilitate debugging.  By default
the log is disabled, to enable it set zfs_dbgmsg_enable=1.  The contents
of the log can be accessed by reading the /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg file.
Writing 0 to this proc file clears the log.

$ echo 1 >/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_dbgmsg_enable
$ echo 0 >/proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg
$ zpool import tank
$ cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg
1 0 0x01 -1 0 2492357525542 2525836565501
timestamp    message

1441141409   txg 72 import pool version 5000; software version 5000/5; ...

Note the zfs_dbgmsg() and dprintf() functions are both now mapped to
the same log.  As mentioned above the kernel debug log can be accessed
though the /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg kstat.  For user space consumers
log messages are immediately written to stdout after applying the
ZFS_DEBUG environment variable.

0500e835af Support accessing .zfs/snapshot via NFS
This patch is based on the previous work done by @andrey-ve and
@yshui.  It triggers the automount by using kern_path() to traverse
to the known snapshout mount point.  Once the snapshot is mounted
NFS can access the contents of the snapshot.

Allowing NFS clients to access to the .zfs/snapshot directory would
normally mean that a root user on a client mounting an export with
'no_root_squash' would be able to use mkdir/rmdir/mv to manipulate
snapshots on the server.  To prevent configuration mistakes a
zfs_admin_snapshot module option was added which disables the
mkdir/rmdir/mv functionally.  System administators desiring this
functionally must explicitly enable it.

37f9dac592 zvol processing should use struct bio
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.
