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. $ cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/mypool/multihost 31 0 0x01 10 880 105092382393521 105144180101111 txg timestamp mmp_delay vdev_guid vdev_label vdev_path 20468 261337 250274925 68396651780 3 /dev/sda 20468 261339 252023374 6267402363293 1 /dev/sdc 20468 261340 252000858 6698080955233 1 /dev/sdx 20468 261341 251980635 783892869810 2 /dev/sdy 20468 261342 253385953 8923255792467 3 /dev/sdd 20468 261344 253336622 042125143176 0 /dev/sdab 20468 261345 253310522 1200778101278 2 /dev/sde 20468 261346 253286429 0950576198362 2 /dev/sdt 20468 261347 253261545 96209817917 3 /dev/sds 20468 261349 253238188 8555725937673 3 /dev/sdb 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.

\fBzfs_free_leak_on_eio\fR (int)
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
If destroy encounters an EIO while reading metadata (e.g. indirect
|
|
blocks), space referenced by the missing metadata can not be freed.
|
|
Normally this causes the background destroy to become "stalled", as
|
|
it is unable to make forward progress. While in this stalled state,
|
|
all remaining space to free from the error-encountering filesystem is
|
|
"temporarily leaked". Set this flag to cause it to ignore the EIO,
|
|
permanently leak the space from indirect blocks that can not be read,
|
|
and continue to free everything else that it can.
|
|
|
|
The default, "stalling" behavior is useful if the storage partially
|
|
fails (i.e. some but not all i/os fail), and then later recovers. In
|
|
this case, we will be able to continue pool operations while it is
|
|
partially failed, and when it recovers, we can continue to free the
|
|
space, with no leaks. However, note that this case is actually
|
|
fairly rare.
|
|
|
|
Typically pools either (a) fail completely (but perhaps temporarily,
|
|
e.g. a top-level vdev going offline), or (b) have localized,
|
|
permanent errors (e.g. disk returns the wrong data due to bit flip or
|
|
firmware bug). In case (a), this setting does not matter because the
|
|
pool will be suspended and the sync thread will not be able to make
|
|
forward progress regardless. In case (b), because the error is
|
|
permanent, the best we can do is leak the minimum amount of space,
|
|
which is what setting this flag will do. Therefore, it is reasonable
|
|
for this flag to normally be set, but we chose the more conservative
|
|
approach of not setting it, so that there is no possibility of
|
|
leaking space in the "partial temporary" failure case.

We currently support block sizes from 512 bytes to 16MB. The benefits of

COWing a giant block to modify one byte. Additionally, very large blocks

|
allocator. Therefore, we do not allow the recordsize to be set larger than

zfs_max_recordsize (default 1MB). Larger blocks can be created by changing

|
this tunable, and pools with larger blocks can always be imported and used,

Defines a threshold at which metaslab groups should be eligible for

beyond which a metaslab group is always eligible for allocations.
|
|
If a metaslab group's free space is less than or equal to the

threshold, the allocator will avoid allocating to that group

unless all groups in the pool have reached the threshold. Once all

groups have reached the threshold, all groups are allowed to accept

allocations. The default value of 0 disables the feature and causes

all metaslab groups to be eligible for allocations.

This parameter allows to deal with pools having heavily imbalanced

|
vdevs such as would be the case when a new vdev has been added.

.SH ZFS I/O SCHEDULER
|
|
ZFS issues I/O operations to leaf vdevs to satisfy and complete I/Os.
|
|
The I/O scheduler determines when and in what order those operations are
|
|
issued. The I/O scheduler divides operations into five I/O classes
|
|
prioritized in the following order: sync read, sync write, async read,
|
|
async write, and scrub/resilver. Each queue defines the minimum and
|
|
maximum number of concurrent operations that may be issued to the
|
|
device. In addition, the device has an aggregate maximum,
|
|
\fBzfs_vdev_max_active\fR. Note that the sum of the per-queue minimums
|
|
must not exceed the aggregate maximum. If the sum of the per-queue
|
|
maximums exceeds the aggregate maximum, then the number of active I/Os
|
|
may reach \fBzfs_vdev_max_active\fR, in which case no further I/Os will
|
|
be issued regardless of whether all per-queue minimums have been met.
|
|
.sp
|
|
For many physical devices, throughput increases with the number of
|
|
concurrent operations, but latency typically suffers. Further, physical
|
|
devices typically have a limit at which more concurrent operations have no
|
|
effect on throughput or can actually cause it to decrease.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The scheduler selects the next operation to issue by first looking for an
|
|
I/O class whose minimum has not been satisfied. Once all are satisfied and
|
|
the aggregate maximum has not been hit, the scheduler looks for classes
|
|
whose maximum has not been satisfied. Iteration through the I/O classes is
|
|
done in the order specified above. No further operations are issued if the
|
|
aggregate maximum number of concurrent operations has been hit or if there
|
|
are no operations queued for an I/O class that has not hit its maximum.
|
|
Every time an I/O is queued or an operation completes, the I/O scheduler
|
|
looks for new operations to issue.
|
|
.sp
|
|
In general, smaller max_active's will lead to lower latency of synchronous
|
|
operations. Larger max_active's may lead to higher overall throughput,
|
|
depending on underlying storage.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The ratio of the queues' max_actives determines the balance of performance
|
|
between reads, writes, and scrubs. E.g., increasing
|
|
\fBzfs_vdev_scrub_max_active\fR will cause the scrub or resilver to complete
|
|
more quickly, but reads and writes to have higher latency and lower throughput.
|
|
.sp
|
|
All I/O classes have a fixed maximum number of outstanding operations
|
|
except for the async write class. Asynchronous writes represent the data
|
|
that is committed to stable storage during the syncing stage for
|
|
transaction groups. Transaction groups enter the syncing state
|
|
periodically so the number of queued async writes will quickly burst up
|
|
and then bleed down to zero. Rather than servicing them as quickly as
|
|
possible, the I/O scheduler changes the maximum number of active async
|
|
write I/Os according to the amount of dirty data in the pool. Since
|
|
both throughput and latency typically increase with the number of
|
|
concurrent operations issued to physical devices, reducing the
|
|
burstiness in the number of concurrent operations also stabilizes the
|
|
response time of operations from other -- and in particular synchronous
|
|
-- queues. In broad strokes, the I/O scheduler will issue more
|
|
concurrent operations from the async write queue as there's more dirty
|
|
data in the pool.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Async Writes
|
|
.sp
|
|
The number of concurrent operations issued for the async write I/O class
|
|
follows a piece-wise linear function defined by a few adjustable points.

|
|
Until the amount of dirty data exceeds a minimum percentage of the dirty
|
|
data allowed in the pool, the I/O scheduler will limit the number of
|
|
concurrent operations to the minimum. As that threshold is crossed, the
|
|
number of concurrent operations issued increases linearly to the maximum at
|
|
the specified maximum percentage of the dirty data allowed in the pool.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Ideally, the amount of dirty data on a busy pool will stay in the sloped
|
|
part of the function between \fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent\fR
|
|
and \fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent\fR. If it exceeds the
|
|
maximum percentage, this indicates that the rate of incoming data is
|
|
greater than the rate that the backend storage can handle. In this case, we
|
|
must further throttle incoming writes, as described in the next section.
|
|
|
|
.SH ZFS TRANSACTION DELAY
|
|
We delay transactions when we've determined that the backend storage
|
|
isn't able to accommodate the rate of incoming writes.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If there is already a transaction waiting, we delay relative to when
|
|
that transaction will finish waiting. This way the calculated delay time
|
|
is independent of the number of threads concurrently executing
|
|
transactions.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If we are the only waiter, wait relative to when the transaction
|
|
started, rather than the current time. This credits the transaction for
|
|
"time already served", e.g. reading indirect blocks.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The minimum time for a transaction to take is calculated as:
|
|
.nf
|
|
min_time = zfs_delay_scale * (dirty - min) / (max - dirty)
|
|
min_time is then capped at 100 milliseconds.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
The delay has two degrees of freedom that can be adjusted via tunables. The
|
|
percentage of dirty data at which we start to delay is defined by
|
|
\fBzfs_delay_min_dirty_percent\fR. This should typically be at or above
|
|
\fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent\fR so that we only start to
|
|
delay after writing at full speed has failed to keep up with the incoming write
|
|
rate. The scale of the curve is defined by \fBzfs_delay_scale\fR. Roughly speaking,
|
|
this variable determines the amount of delay at the midpoint of the curve.

Note that since the delay is added to the outstanding time remaining on the
|
|
most recent transaction, the delay is effectively the inverse of IOPS.
|
|
Here the midpoint of 500us translates to 2000 IOPS. The shape of the curve
|
|
was chosen such that small changes in the amount of accumulated dirty data
|
|
in the first 3/4 of the curve yield relatively small differences in the
|
|
amount of delay.

Note here that only as the amount of dirty data approaches its limit does
|
|
the delay start to increase rapidly. The goal of a properly tuned system
|
|
should be to keep the amount of dirty data out of that range by first
|
|
ensuring that the appropriate limits are set for the I/O scheduler to reach
|
|
optimal throughput on the backend storage, and then by changing the value
|
|
of \fBzfs_delay_scale\fR to increase the steepness of the curve.
