Remove duplicate typedefs from trace.h 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.

#include <sys/trace_txg.h>
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. $ 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.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack.

/*
* ZFS Write Throttle
* ------------------
*
* ZFS must limit the rate of incoming writes to the rate at which it is able
* to sync data modifications to the backend storage. Throttling by too much
* creates an artificial limit; throttling by too little can only be sustained
* for short periods and would lead to highly lumpy performance. On a per-pool
* basis, ZFS tracks the amount of modified (dirty) data. As operations change
* data, the amount of dirty data increases; as ZFS syncs out data, the amount
* of dirty data decreases. When the amount of dirty data exceeds a
* predetermined threshold further modifications are blocked until the amount
* of dirty data decreases (as data is synced out).
*
* The limit on dirty data is tunable, and should be adjusted according to
* both the IO capacity and available memory of the system. The larger the
* window, the more ZFS is able to aggregate and amortize metadata (and data)
* changes. However, memory is a limited resource, and allowing for more dirty
* data comes at the cost of keeping other useful data in memory (for example
* ZFS data cached by the ARC).
*
* Implementation
*
* As buffers are modified dsl_pool_willuse_space() increments both the per-
* txg (dp_dirty_pertxg[]) and poolwide (dp_dirty_total) accounting of
* dirty space used; dsl_pool_dirty_space() decrements those values as data
* is synced out from dsl_pool_sync(). While only the poolwide value is
* relevant, the per-txg value is useful for debugging. The tunable
* zfs_dirty_data_max determines the dirty space limit. Once that value is
* exceeded, new writes are halted until space frees up.
*
* The zfs_dirty_data_sync tunable dictates the threshold at which we
* ensure that there is a txg syncing (see the comment in txg.c for a full
* description of transaction group stages).
*
* The IO scheduler uses both the dirty space limit and current amount of
* dirty data as inputs. Those values affect the number of concurrent IOs ZFS
* issues. See the comment in vdev_queue.c for details of the IO scheduler.
*
* The delay is also calculated based on the amount of dirty data. See the
* comment above dmu_tx_delay() for details.
*/

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently.

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.

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.

Align thread priority with Linux defaults 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: $ ps -eLo rtprio,cls,pid,pri,nice,cmd | egrep 'z_|spl_|zvol|arc|dbu|meta' - TS 10743 19 -20 [spl_kmem_cache] - TS 10744 19 -20 [spl_system_task] - TS 10745 19 -20 [spl_dynamic_tas] - TS 10764 19 0 [dbu_evict] - TS 10765 19 0 [arc_prune] - TS 10766 19 0 [arc_reclaim] - TS 10767 19 0 [arc_user_evicts] - TS 10768 19 0 [l2arc_feed] - TS 10769 39 0 [z_unmount] - TS 10770 39 -20 [zvol] - TS 11011 39 -20 [z_null_iss] - TS 11012 39 -20 [z_null_int] - TS 11013 39 -20 [z_rd_iss] - TS 11014 39 -20 [z_rd_int_0] - TS 11022 38 -19 [z_wr_iss] - TS 11023 39 -20 [z_wr_iss_h] - TS 11024 39 -20 [z_wr_int_0] - TS 11032 39 -20 [z_wr_int_h] - TS 11033 39 -20 [z_fr_iss_0] - TS 11041 39 -20 [z_fr_int] - TS 11042 39 -20 [z_cl_iss] - TS 11043 39 -20 [z_cl_int] - TS 11044 39 -20 [z_ioctl_iss] - TS 11045 39 -20 [z_ioctl_int] - TS 11046 39 -20 [metaslab_group_] - TS 11050 19 0 [z_iput] - TS 11121 38 -19 [z_wr_iss] 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.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

Illumos 5497 - lock contention on arcs_mtx Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Richard Elling <richard.elling@richardelling.com> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@omniti.com> Porting notes and other significant code changes: The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch. Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every time it runs. The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts() since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically. Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch: 302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux 39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c" 77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation 94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta Trace support for multilist_insert() and multilist_remove() has been added and produces the following output: fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448324: zfs_multilist__insert: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 63 } fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448347: zfs_multilist__remove: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 29 } The following arcstats have been removed: recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which have been updated appropriately. l2_writes_hdr_miss The following arcstats have been added: evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to evict enough buffers to reach its target amount. evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction because it was being written to the l2arc. l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss. Number of times l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries). arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module parameter (see below). The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme. Additional multilist- related stats could be added in the future but would likely require extensions to the mulilist API. The following module parameters have been added: zfs_arc_evict_batch_limit - Number of ARC headers to free per sub-list before moving on to the next sub-list. zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in the ARC. zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per ARC state. zfs_arc_overflow_shift - Controls amount by which the ARC must exceed the target size to be considered "overflowing".

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.

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.

Prototype/structure update for Linux I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit. When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure there's much merrit in it. As such I'll just summerize the intent of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit. Broadly the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible and replace it with native Linux equivilants. More specifically: 1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t. While the type is largely the same calling it private super block data rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names this. While non critical it makes the code easier to read when your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms. 2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode. The Linux VFS doesn't have the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to create one. There are in fact several good reasons to remove it. It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's a good change it will be out of date. The code has been updated to remove all need for this type. 3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types. Along with this shift all uses of types to mode bits. The Solaris code would pass a vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode. Just update all the code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy. 4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with inode helpers. The big example here is creating iput_aync to replace vn_rele_async. Other vn helpers will be addressed as needed but they should be be emulated. They are a Solaris VFS'ism and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants. 5) Update znode alloc/free code. Under Linux it's common to embed the inode specific data with the inode itself. This removes the need for an extra memory allocation. In zfs this information is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it. Allocators have been updated accordingly. 6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the super block and handling mount options has been added this code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there. This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.

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. Ported-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #354

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos.

The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage.

The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos.

Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal.

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. Ported-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #354

Prototype/structure update for Linux I appologize in advance why to many things ended up in this commit. When it could be seperated in to a whole series of commits teasing that all apart now would take considerable time and I'm not sure there's much merrit in it. As such I'll just summerize the intent of the changes which are all (or partly) in this commit. Broadly the intent is to remove as much Solaris specific code as possible and replace it with native Linux equivilants. More specifically: 1) Replace all instances of zfsvfs_t with zfs_sb_t. While the type is largely the same calling it private super block data rather than a zfsvfs is more consistent with how Linux names this. While non critical it makes the code easier to read when your thinking in Linux friendly VFS terms. 2) Replace vnode_t with struct inode. The Linux VFS doesn't have the notion of a vnode and there's absolutely no good reason to create one. There are in fact several good reasons to remove it. It just adds overhead on Linux if we were to manage one, it conplicates the code, and it likely will lead to bugs so there's a good change it will be out of date. The code has been updated to remove all need for this type. 3) Replace all vtype_t's with umode types. Along with this shift all uses of types to mode bits. The Solaris code would pass a vtype which is redundant with the Linux mode. Just update all the code to use the Linux mode macros and remove this redundancy. 4) Remove using of vn_* helpers and replace where needed with inode helpers. The big example here is creating iput_aync to replace vn_rele_async. Other vn helpers will be addressed as needed but they should be be emulated. They are a Solaris VFS'ism and should simply be replaced with Linux equivilants. 5) Update znode alloc/free code. Under Linux it's common to embed the inode specific data with the inode itself. This removes the need for an extra memory allocation. In zfs this information is called a znode and it now embeds the inode with it. Allocators have been updated accordingly. 6) Minimal integration with the vfs flags for setting up the super block and handling mount options has been added this code will need to be refined but functionally it's all there. This will be the first and last of these to large to review commits.

/*
* DSL Pool Configuration Lock
*
* The dp_config_rwlock protects against changes to DSL state (e.g. dataset
* creation / destruction / rename / property setting). It must be held for
* read to hold a dataset or dsl_dir. I.e. you must call
* dsl_pool_config_enter() or dsl_pool_hold() before calling
* dsl_{dataset,dir}_hold{_obj}. In most circumstances, the dp_config_rwlock
* must be held continuously until all datasets and dsl_dirs are released.
*
* The only exception to this rule is that if a "long hold" is placed on
* a dataset, then the dp_config_rwlock may be dropped while the dataset
* is still held. The long hold will prevent the dataset from being
* destroyed -- the destroy will fail with EBUSY. A long hold can be
* obtained by calling dsl_dataset_long_hold(), or by "owning" a dataset
* (by calling dsl_{dataset,objset}_{try}own{_obj}).
*
* Legitimate long-holders (including owners) should be long-running, cancelable
* tasks that should cause "zfs destroy" to fail. This includes DMU
* consumers (i.e. a ZPL filesystem being mounted or ZVOL being open),
* "zfs send", and "zfs diff". There are several other long-holders whose
* uses are suboptimal (e.g. "zfs promote", and zil_suspend()).
*
* The usual formula for long-holding would be:
* dsl_pool_hold()
* dsl_dataset_hold()
* ... perform checks ...
* dsl_dataset_long_hold()
* dsl_pool_rele()
* ... perform long-running task ...
* dsl_dataset_long_rele()
* dsl_dataset_rele()
*
* Note that when the long hold is released, the dataset is still held but
* the pool is not held. The dataset may change arbitrarily during this time
* (e.g. it could be destroyed). Therefore you shouldn't do anything to the
* dataset except release it.
*
* User-initiated operations (e.g. ioctls, zfs_ioc_*()) are either read-only
* or modifying operations.
*
* Modifying operations should generally use dsl_sync_task(). The synctask
* infrastructure enforces proper locking strategy with respect to the
* dp_config_rwlock. See the comment above dsl_sync_task() for details.
*
* Read-only operations will manually hold the pool, then the dataset, obtain
* information from the dataset, then release the pool and dataset.
* dmu_objset_{hold,rele}() are convenience routines that also do the pool
* hold/rele.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details.

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv).

Illumos #4045 write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 4045 zfs write throttle & i/o scheduler performance work 1. The ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) now divides i/os into 5 classes: sync read, sync write, async read, async write, and scrub/resilver. The scheduler issues a number of concurrent i/os from each class to the device. Once a class has been selected, an i/o is selected from this class using either an elevator algorithem (async, scrub classes) or FIFO (sync classes). The number of concurrent async write i/os is tuned dynamically based on i/o load, to achieve good sync i/o latency when there is not a high load of writes, and good write throughput when there is. See the block comment in vdev_queue.c (reproduced below) for more details. 2. The write throttle (dsl_pool_tempreserve_space() and txg_constrain_throughput()) is rewritten to produce much more consistent delays when under constant load. The new write throttle is based on the amount of dirty data, rather than guesses about future performance of the system. When there is a lot of dirty data, each transaction (e.g. write() syscall) will be delayed by the same small amount. This eliminates the "brick wall of wait" that the old write throttle could hit, causing all transactions to wait several seconds until the next txg opens. One of the keys to the new write throttle is decrementing the amount of dirty data as i/o completes, rather than at the end of spa_sync(). Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes. See the block comments in dsl_pool.c and above dmu_tx_delay() (reproduced below) for more details. This diff has several other effects, including: * the commonly-tuned global variable zfs_vdev_max_pending has been removed; use per-class zfs_vdev_*_max_active values or zfs_vdev_max_active instead. * the size of each txg (meaning the amount of dirty data written, and thus the time it takes to write out) is now controlled differently. There is no longer an explicit time goal; the primary determinant is amount of dirty data. Systems that are under light or medium load will now often see that a txg is always syncing, but the impact to performance (e.g. read latency) is minimal. Tune zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_sync to control this. * zio_taskq_batch_pct = 75 -- Only use 75% of all CPUs for compression, checksum, etc. This improves latency by not allowing these CPU-intensive tasks to consume all CPU (on machines with at least 4 CPU's; the percentage is rounded up). --matt APPENDIX: problems with the current i/o scheduler The current ZFS i/o scheduler (vdev_queue.c) is deadline based. The problem with this is that if there are always i/os pending, then certain classes of i/os can see very long delays. For example, if there are always synchronous reads outstanding, then no async writes will be serviced until they become "past due". One symptom of this situation is that each pass of the txg sync takes at least several seconds (typically 3 seconds). If many i/os become "past due" (their deadline is in the past), then we must service all of these overdue i/os before any new i/os. This happens when we enqueue a batch of async writes for the txg sync, with deadlines 2.5 seconds in the future. If we can't complete all the i/os in 2.5 seconds (e.g. because there were always reads pending), then these i/os will become past due. Now we must service all the "async" writes (which could be hundreds of megabytes) before we service any reads, introducing considerable latency to synchronous i/os (reads or ZIL writes). Notes on porting to ZFS on Linux: - zio_t gained new members io_physdone and io_phys_children. Because object caches in the Linux port call the constructor only once at allocation time, objects may contain residual data when retrieved from the cache. Therefore zio_create() was updated to zero out the two new fields. - vdev_mirror_pending() relied on the depth of the per-vdev pending queue (vq->vq_pending_tree) to select the least-busy leaf vdev to read from. This tree has been replaced by vq->vq_active_tree which is now used for the same purpose. - vdev_queue_init() used the value of zfs_vdev_max_pending to determine the number of vdev I/O buffers to pre-allocate. That global no longer exists, so we instead use the sum of the *_max_active values for each of the five I/O classes described above. - The Illumos implementation of dmu_tx_delay() delays a transaction by sleeping in condition variable embedded in the thread (curthread->t_delay_cv). We do not have an equivalent CV to use in Linux, so this change replaced the delay logic with a wrapper called zfs_sleep_until(). This wrapper could be adopted upstream and in other downstream ports to abstract away operating system-specific delay logic. - These tunables are added as module parameters, and descriptions added to the zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. spa_asize_inflation zfs_deadman_synctime_ms zfs_vdev_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active zfs_vdev_async_read_min_active zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active zfs_vdev_async_write_min_active zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active zfs_vdev_scrub_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_read_min_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_max_active zfs_vdev_sync_write_min_active zfs_dirty_data_max_percent zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent zfs_dirty_data_max zfs_dirty_data_max_max zfs_dirty_data_sync zfs_delay_scale The latter four have type unsigned long, whereas they are uint64_t in Illumos. This accommodates Linux's module_param() supported types, but means they may overflow on 32-bit architectures. The values zfs_dirty_data_max and zfs_dirty_data_max_max are the most likely to overflow on 32-bit systems, since they express physical RAM sizes in bytes. In fact, Illumos initializes zfs_dirty_data_max_max to 2^32 which does overflow. To resolve that, this port instead initializes it in arc_init() to 25% of physical RAM, and adds the tunable zfs_dirty_data_max_max_percent to override that percentage. While this solution doesn't completely avoid the overflow issue, it should be a reasonable default for most systems, and the minority of affected systems can work around the issue by overriding the defaults. - Fixed reversed logic in comment above zfs_delay_scale declaration. - Clarified comments in vdev_queue.c regarding when per-queue minimums take effect. - Replaced dmu_tx_write_limit in the dmu_tx kstat file with dmu_tx_dirty_delay and dmu_tx_dirty_over_max. The first counts how many times a transaction has been delayed because the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_delay_min_dirty_percent. The latter counts how many times the pool dirty data has exceeded zfs_dirty_data_max (which we expect to never happen). - The original patch would have regressed the bug fixed in zfsonlinux/zfs@c418410, which prevented users from setting the zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit tuning larger than SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. A similar fix is added to vdev_queue_aggregate(). - In vdev_queue_io_to_issue(), dynamically allocate 'zio_t search' on the heap instead of the stack. In Linux we can't afford such large structures on the stack.

All tunables are visable to modinfo and the list is as follows: $ modinfo module/zfs/zfs.ko filename: module/zfs/zfs.ko license: CDDL author: Sun Microsystems/Oracle, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory description: ZFS srcversion: 8EAB1D71DACE05B5AA61567 depends: spl,znvpair,zcommon,zunicode,zavl vermagic: 2.6.32-131.0.5.el6.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions parm: zvol_major:Major number for zvol device (uint) parm: zvol_threads:Number of threads for zvol device (uint) parm: zio_injection_enabled:Enable fault injection (int) parm: zio_bulk_flags:Additional flags to pass to bulk buffers (int) parm: zio_delay_max:Max zio millisec delay before posting event (int) parm: zio_requeue_io_start_cut_in_line:Prioritize requeued I/O (bool) parm: zil_replay_disable:Disable intent logging replay (int) parm: zfs_nocacheflush:Disable cache flushes (bool) parm: zfs_read_chunk_size:Bytes to read per chunk (long) parm: zfs_vdev_max_pending:Max pending per-vdev I/Os (int) parm: zfs_vdev_min_pending:Min pending per-vdev I/Os (int) parm: zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit:Max vdev I/O aggregation size (int) parm: zfs_vdev_time_shift:Deadline time shift for vdev I/O (int) parm: zfs_vdev_ramp_rate:Exponential I/O issue ramp-up rate (int) parm: zfs_vdev_read_gap_limit:Aggregate read I/O over gap (int) parm: zfs_vdev_write_gap_limit:Aggregate write I/O over gap (int) parm: zfs_vdev_scheduler:I/O scheduler (charp) parm: zfs_vdev_cache_max:Inflate reads small than max (int) parm: zfs_vdev_cache_size:Total size of the per-disk cache (int) parm: zfs_vdev_cache_bshift:Shift size to inflate reads too (int) parm: zfs_scrub_limit:Max scrub/resilver I/O per leaf vdev (int) parm: zfs_recover:Set to attempt to recover from fatal errors (int) parm: spa_config_path:SPA config file (/etc/zfs/zpool.cache) (charp) parm: zfs_zevent_len_max:Max event queue length (int) parm: zfs_zevent_cols:Max event column width (int) parm: zfs_zevent_console:Log events to the console (int) parm: zfs_top_maxinflight:Max I/Os per top-level (int) parm: zfs_resilver_delay:Number of ticks to delay resilver (int) parm: zfs_scrub_delay:Number of ticks to delay scrub (int) parm: zfs_scan_idle:Idle window in clock ticks (int) parm: zfs_scan_min_time_ms:Min millisecs to scrub per txg (int) parm: zfs_free_min_time_ms:Min millisecs to free per txg (int) parm: zfs_resilver_min_time_ms:Min millisecs to resilver per txg (int) parm: zfs_no_scrub_io:Set to disable scrub I/O (bool) parm: zfs_no_scrub_prefetch:Set to disable scrub prefetching (bool) parm: zfs_txg_timeout:Max seconds worth of delta per txg (int) parm: zfs_no_write_throttle:Disable write throttling (int) parm: zfs_write_limit_shift:log2(fraction of memory) per txg (int) parm: zfs_txg_synctime_ms:Target milliseconds between tgx sync (int) parm: zfs_write_limit_min:Min tgx write limit (ulong) parm: zfs_write_limit_max:Max tgx write limit (ulong) parm: zfs_write_limit_inflated:Inflated tgx write limit (ulong) parm: zfs_write_limit_override:Override tgx write limit (ulong) parm: zfs_prefetch_disable:Disable all ZFS prefetching (int) parm: zfetch_max_streams:Max number of streams per zfetch (uint) parm: zfetch_min_sec_reap:Min time before stream reclaim (uint) parm: zfetch_block_cap:Max number of blocks to fetch at a time (uint) parm: zfetch_array_rd_sz:Number of bytes in a array_read (ulong) parm: zfs_pd_blks_max:Max number of blocks to prefetch (int) parm: zfs_dedup_prefetch:Enable prefetching dedup-ed blks (int) parm: zfs_arc_min:Min arc size (ulong) parm: zfs_arc_max:Max arc size (ulong) parm: zfs_arc_meta_limit:Meta limit for arc size (ulong) parm: zfs_arc_reduce_dnlc_percent:Meta reclaim percentage (int) parm: zfs_arc_grow_retry:Seconds before growing arc size (int) parm: zfs_arc_shrink_shift:log2(fraction of arc to reclaim) (int) parm: zfs_arc_p_min_shift:arc_c shift to calc min/max arc_p (int)
