When write I/Os are issued, they are issued in block order but the ZIO pipelin
e
will drive them asynchronously through the allocation stage which can result i
n
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 t
o
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 allocatio
n
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.
