* DVA-based Adjustable Replacement Cache
*
* While much of the theory of operation used here is
* based on the self-tuning, low overhead replacement cache
* presented by Megiddo and Modha at FAST 2003, there are some
* significant differences:
*
* 1. The Megiddo and Modha model assumes any page is evictable.
* Pages in its cache cannot be "locked" into memory. This makes
* the eviction algorithm simple: evict the last page in the list.
* This also make the performance characteristics easy to reason
* about. Our cache is not so simple. At any given moment, some
* subset of the blocks in the cache are un-evictable because we
* have handed out a reference to them. Blocks are only evictable
* when there are no external references active. This makes
* eviction far more problematic: we choose to evict the evictable
* blocks that are the "lowest" in the list.
*
* There are times when it is not possible to evict the requested
* space. In these circumstances we are unable to adjust the cache
* size. To prevent the cache growing unbounded at these times we
* implement a "cache throttle" that slows the flow of new data
* into the cache until we can make space available.
*
* 2. The Megiddo and Modha model assumes a fixed cache size.
* Pages are evicted when the cache is full and there is a cache
* miss. Our model has a variable sized cache. It grows with
* high use, but also tries to react to memory pressure from the
* operating system: decreasing its size when system memory is
* tight.
*
* 3. The Megiddo and Modha model assumes a fixed page size. All
* elements of the cache are therefore exactly the same size. So
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* when adjusting the cache size following a cache miss, its simply
* a matter of choosing a single page to evict. In our model, we
* have variable sized cache blocks (rangeing from 512 bytes to
* 128K bytes). We therefore choose a set of blocks to evict to make
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* space for a cache miss that approximates as closely as possible
* the space used by the new block.
*

/*
* The locking model:
*
* A new reference to a cache buffer can be obtained in two
* ways: 1) via a hash table lookup using the DVA as a key,
* or 2) via one of the ARC lists. The arc_read() interface
* uses method 1, while the internal arc algorithms for
* adjusting the cache use method 2. We therefore provide two
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* types of locks: 1) the hash table lock array, and 2) the
* arc list locks.
*
* Buffers do not have their own mutexes, rather they rely on the
* hash table mutexes for the bulk of their protection (i.e. most
* fields in the arc_buf_hdr_t are protected by these mutexes).
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
*
* buf_hash_find() returns the appropriate mutex (held) when it
* locates the requested buffer in the hash table. It returns
* NULL for the mutex if the buffer was not in the table.
*
* buf_hash_remove() expects the appropriate hash mutex to be
* already held before it is invoked.
*
* Each arc state also has a mutex which is used to protect the
* buffer list associated with the state. When attempting to
* obtain a hash table lock while holding an arc list lock you
* must use: mutex_tryenter() to avoid deadlock. Also note that
* the active state mutex must be held before the ghost state mutex.
*
* Arc buffers may have an associated eviction callback function.
* This function will be invoked prior to removing the buffer (e.g.
* in arc_do_user_evicts()). Note however that the data associated
* with the buffer may be evicted prior to the callback. The callback
* must be made with *no locks held* (to prevent deadlock). Additionally,
* the users of callbacks must ensure that their private data is
* protected from simultaneous callbacks from arc_clear_callback()
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* and arc_do_user_evicts().

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292
2011-12-22 20:20:43 +00:00
* It as also possible to register a callback which is run when the
* arc_meta_limit is reached and no buffers can be safely evicted. In
* this case the arc user should drop a reference on some arc buffers so
* they can be reclaimed and the arc_meta_limit honored. For example,
* when using the ZPL each dentry holds a references on a znode. These
* dentries must be pruned before the arc buffer holding the znode can
* be safely evicted.
*
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* Note that the majority of the performance stats are manipulated
* with atomic operations.
*
* The L2ARC uses the l2arc_buflist_mtx global mutex for the following:
*
* - L2ARC buflist creation
* - L2ARC buflist eviction
* - L2ARC write completion, which walks L2ARC buflists
* - ARC header destruction, as it removes from L2ARC buflists
* - ARC header release, as it removes from L2ARC buflists

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.

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.

Restructure per-filesystem reclaim Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was to register a single callback for the ZPL. The ARC could invoke this call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC. The ZPL would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim. For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems. This patch is designed to address those issues. 1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in a single callback. The most straight forward and portable way to resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount. The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple callbacks so this is functionally a very small change. 2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory() and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with equivalent functionality. This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from the caches if needed. This patch adds that missing functionality by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be pinning inodes. This will result in all unused cache entries being dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface available for old kernels. 3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than 2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback. This ensures that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately removed from the cache. If this isn't done than inode can end up on the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them. Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still be recreated without performing disk IO.

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.

Disable aggressive arc_p growth by default For specific workloads consisting mainly of mfu data and new anon data buffers, the aggressive growth of arc_p found in the arc_get_data_buf() function can have detrimental effects on the mfu list size and ghost list hit rate. Running a workload consisting of two processes: * Process 1 is creating many small files * Process 2 is tar'ing a directory consisting of many small files I've seen arc_p and the mru grow to their maximum size, while the mru ghost list receives 100K times fewer hits than the mfu ghost list. Ideally, as the mfu ghost list receives hits, arc_p should be driven down and the size of the mfu should increase. Given the specific workload I was testing with, the mfu list size should grow to a point where almost no mfu ghost list hits would occur. Unfortunately, this does not happen because the newly dirtied anon buffers constancy drive arc_p to its maximum value and keep it there (effectively prioritizing the mru list and starving the mfu list down to a negligible size). The logic to increment arc_p from within the arc_get_data_buf() function was introduced many years ago in this upstream commit: commit 641fbdae3a027d12b3c3dcd18927ccafae6d58bc Author: maybee <none@none> Date: Wed Dec 20 15:46:12 2006 -0800 6505658 target MRU size (arc.p) needs to be adjusted more aggressively and since I don't fully understand the motivation for the change, I am reluctant to completely remove it. As a way to test out how it's removal might affect performance, I've disabled that code by default, but left it tunable via a module option. Thus, if its removal is found to be grossly detrimental for certain workloads, it can be re-enabled on the fly, without a code change.

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.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux Under Solaris the ARC was designed to stay one step ahead of the VM subsystem. It would attempt to recognize low memory situtions before they occured and evict data from the cache. It would also make assessments about if there was enough free memory to perform a specific operation. This was all possible because Solaris exposes a fairly decent view of the memory state of the system to other kernel threads. Linux on the other hand does not make this information easily available. To avoid extensive modifications to the ARC the SPL attempts to provide these same interfaces. While this works it is not ideal and problems can arise when the ARC and Linux have different ideas about when your out of memory. This has manifested itself in the past as a spinning arc_reclaim_thread. This patch abandons the emulated Solaris interfaces in favor of the prefered Linux interface. That means moving the bulk of the memory reclaim logic out of the arc_reclaim_thread and in to the evict driven shrinker callback. The Linux VM will call this function when it needs memory. The ARC is then responsible for attempting to free the requested amount of memory if possible. Several interfaces have been modified to accomidate this approach, however the basic user space implementation remains the same. The following changes almost exclusively just apply to the kernel implementation. * Removed the hdr_recl() reclaim callback which is redundant with the broader arc_shrinker_func(). * Reduced arc_grow_retry to 5 seconds from 60. This is now used internally in the ARC with arc_no_grow to indicate that direct reclaim was recently performed. This typically indicates a rapid change in memory demands which the kswapd threads were unable to keep ahead of. As long as direct reclaim is happening once every 5 seconds arc growth will be paused to avoid further contributing to the existing memory pressure. The more common indirect reclaim paths will not set arc_no_grow. * arc_shrink() has been extended to take the number of bytes by which arc_c should be reduced. This allows for a more granual reduction of the arc target. Since the kernel provides a reclaim value to the arc_shrinker_func() this value is used instead of 1<<arc_shrink_shift. * arc_reclaim_needed() has been removed. It was used to determine if the system was under memory pressure and relied extensively on Solaris specific VM interfaces. In most case the new code just checks arc_no_grow which indicates that within the last arc_grow_retry seconds direct memory reclaim occurred. * arc_memory_throttle() has been updated to always include the amount of evictable memory (arc and page cache) in its free space calculations. This space is largely available in most call paths due to direct memory reclaim. * The Solaris pageout code was also removed to avoid confusion. It has always been disabled due to proc_pageout being defined as NULL in the Linux port. Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Use KM_PUSHPAGE in l2arc_write_buffers There is potential for deadlock in the l2arc_feed thread if KM_PUSHPAGE is not used for the allocations made in l2arc_write_buffers. Specifically, if KM_PUSHPAGE is not used for these allocations, it is possible for reclaim to be triggered which can cause the l2arc_feed thread to deadlock itself on the ARC_mru mutex.

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.

Fix inaccurate arcstat_l2_hdr_size calculations Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr) is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the following simple way: 1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf. 2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only state. The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory and tests were set upped in the following way: 1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool storage and the other one was used as the cache device. 2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool prepared in step 1 using iozone. 3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this: l2_size 4 4403780608 l2_hdr_size 4 0 which was weird. 4. After applying this patch and reran step 1-3, the results were as following: l2_size 4 4306443264 l2_hdr_size 4 535600 these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little bigger, as we can see. Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to examine what had happened. The script looked like this: probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state") { if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only) printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n") } It will print out some information each time we call funciton arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined. Signed-off-by: Ying Zhu <casualfisher@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

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.

Prioritize "metadata" in arc_get_data_buf When the arc is at it's size limit and a new buffer is added, data will be evicted (or recycled) from the arc to make room for this new buffer. As far as I can tell, this is to try and keep the arc from over stepping it's bounds (i.e. keep it below the size limitation placed on it). This makes sense conceptually, but there appears to be a subtle flaw in its current implementation, resulting in metadata buffers being throttled. When it evicts from the arc's lists, it also passes in a "type" so as to remove a buffer of the same type that it is adding. The problem with this is that once the size limit is hit, the ratio of "metadata" to "data" contained in the arc essentially becomes fixed. For example, consider the following scenario: * the size of the arc is capped at 10G * the meta_limit is capped at 4G * 9G of the arc contains "data" * 1G of the arc contains "metadata" Now, every time a new "metadata" buffer is created and added to the arc, an older "metadata" buffer(s) will be removed from the arc; preserving the 9G "data" to 1G "metadata" ratio that was in-place when the size limit was reached. This occurs even though the amount of "metadata" is far below the "metadata" limit. This can result in the arc behaving pathologically for certain workloads. To fix this, the arc_get_data_buf function was modified to evict "data" from the arc even when adding a "metadata" buffer; unless it's at the "metadata" limit. In addition, arc_evict now more closely resembles arc_evict_ghost; such that when evicting "data" from the arc, it may make a second pass over the arc lists and evict "metadata" if it cannot meet the eviction size the first time around.

Prioritize "metadata" in arc_get_data_buf When the arc is at it's size limit and a new buffer is added, data will be evicted (or recycled) from the arc to make room for this new buffer. As far as I can tell, this is to try and keep the arc from over stepping it's bounds (i.e. keep it below the size limitation placed on it). This makes sense conceptually, but there appears to be a subtle flaw in its current implementation, resulting in metadata buffers being throttled. When it evicts from the arc's lists, it also passes in a "type" so as to remove a buffer of the same type that it is adding. The problem with this is that once the size limit is hit, the ratio of "metadata" to "data" contained in the arc essentially becomes fixed. For example, consider the following scenario: * the size of the arc is capped at 10G * the meta_limit is capped at 4G * 9G of the arc contains "data" * 1G of the arc contains "metadata" Now, every time a new "metadata" buffer is created and added to the arc, an older "metadata" buffer(s) will be removed from the arc; preserving the 9G "data" to 1G "metadata" ratio that was in-place when the size limit was reached. This occurs even though the amount of "metadata" is far below the "metadata" limit. This can result in the arc behaving pathologically for certain workloads. To fix this, the arc_get_data_buf function was modified to evict "data" from the arc even when adding a "metadata" buffer; unless it's at the "metadata" limit. In addition, arc_evict now more closely resembles arc_evict_ghost; such that when evicting "data" from the arc, it may make a second pass over the arc lists and evict "metadata" if it cannot meet the eviction size the first time around.

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.

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. 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).

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.

Prioritize "metadata" in arc_get_data_buf When the arc is at it's size limit and a new buffer is added, data will be evicted (or recycled) from the arc to make room for this new buffer. As far as I can tell, this is to try and keep the arc from over stepping it's bounds (i.e. keep it below the size limitation placed on it). This makes sense conceptually, but there appears to be a subtle flaw in its current implementation, resulting in metadata buffers being throttled. When it evicts from the arc's lists, it also passes in a "type" so as to remove a buffer of the same type that it is adding. The problem with this is that once the size limit is hit, the ratio of "metadata" to "data" contained in the arc essentially becomes fixed. For example, consider the following scenario: * the size of the arc is capped at 10G * the meta_limit is capped at 4G * 9G of the arc contains "data" * 1G of the arc contains "metadata" Now, every time a new "metadata" buffer is created and added to the arc, an older "metadata" buffer(s) will be removed from the arc; preserving the 9G "data" to 1G "metadata" ratio that was in-place when the size limit was reached. This occurs even though the amount of "metadata" is far below the "metadata" limit. This can result in the arc behaving pathologically for certain workloads. To fix this, the arc_get_data_buf function was modified to evict "data" from the arc even when adding a "metadata" buffer; unless it's at the "metadata" limit. In addition, arc_evict now more closely resembles arc_evict_ghost; such that when evicting "data" from the arc, it may make a second pass over the arc lists and evict "metadata" if it cannot meet the eviction size the first time around.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache.

* The goal of this function is to evict enough meta data buffers from the
* ARC in order to enforce the arc_meta_limit. Achieving this is slightly
* more complicated than it appears because it is common for data buffers
* to have holds on meta data buffers. In addition, dnode meta data buffers
* will be held by the dnodes in the block preventing them from being freed.
* This means we can't simply traverse the ARC and expect to always find
* enough unheld meta data buffer to release.
*
* Therefore, this function has been updated to make alternating passes
* over the ARC releasing data buffers and then newly unheld meta data
* buffers. This ensures forward progress is maintained and arc_meta_used
* will decrease. Normally this is sufficient, but if required the ARC
* will call the registered prune callbacks causing dentry and inodes to
* be dropped from the VFS cache. This will make dnode meta data buffers
* available for reclaim.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache.

Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux Under Solaris the ARC was designed to stay one step ahead of the VM subsystem. It would attempt to recognize low memory situtions before they occured and evict data from the cache. It would also make assessments about if there was enough free memory to perform a specific operation. This was all possible because Solaris exposes a fairly decent view of the memory state of the system to other kernel threads. Linux on the other hand does not make this information easily available. To avoid extensive modifications to the ARC the SPL attempts to provide these same interfaces. While this works it is not ideal and problems can arise when the ARC and Linux have different ideas about when your out of memory. This has manifested itself in the past as a spinning arc_reclaim_thread. This patch abandons the emulated Solaris interfaces in favor of the prefered Linux interface. That means moving the bulk of the memory reclaim logic out of the arc_reclaim_thread and in to the evict driven shrinker callback. The Linux VM will call this function when it needs memory. The ARC is then responsible for attempting to free the requested amount of memory if possible. Several interfaces have been modified to accomidate this approach, however the basic user space implementation remains the same. The following changes almost exclusively just apply to the kernel implementation. * Removed the hdr_recl() reclaim callback which is redundant with the broader arc_shrinker_func(). * Reduced arc_grow_retry to 5 seconds from 60. This is now used internally in the ARC with arc_no_grow to indicate that direct reclaim was recently performed. This typically indicates a rapid change in memory demands which the kswapd threads were unable to keep ahead of. As long as direct reclaim is happening once every 5 seconds arc growth will be paused to avoid further contributing to the existing memory pressure. The more common indirect reclaim paths will not set arc_no_grow. * arc_shrink() has been extended to take the number of bytes by which arc_c should be reduced. This allows for a more granual reduction of the arc target. Since the kernel provides a reclaim value to the arc_shrinker_func() this value is used instead of 1<<arc_shrink_shift. * arc_reclaim_needed() has been removed. It was used to determine if the system was under memory pressure and relied extensively on Solaris specific VM interfaces. In most case the new code just checks arc_no_grow which indicates that within the last arc_grow_retry seconds direct memory reclaim occurred. * arc_memory_throttle() has been updated to always include the amount of evictable memory (arc and page cache) in its free space calculations. This space is largely available in most call paths due to direct memory reclaim. * The Solaris pageout code was also removed to avoid confusion. It has always been disabled due to proc_pageout being defined as NULL in the Linux port. Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

* Determine the amount of memory eligible for eviction contained in the
* ARC. All clean data reported by the ghost lists can always be safely
* evicted. Due to arc_c_min, the same does not hold for all clean data
* contained by the regular mru and mfu lists.
*
* In the case of the regular mru and mfu lists, we need to report as
* much clean data as possible, such that evicting that same reported
* data will not bring arc_size below arc_c_min. Thus, in certain
* circumstances, the total amount of clean data in the mru and mfu
* lists might not actually be evictable.
*
* The following two distinct cases are accounted for:
*
* 1. The sum of the amount of dirty data contained by both the mru and
* mfu lists, plus the ARC's other accounting (e.g. the anon list),
* is greater than or equal to arc_c_min.
* (i.e. amount of dirty data >= arc_c_min)
*
* This is the easy case; all clean data contained by the mru and mfu
* lists is evictable. Evicting all clean data can only drop arc_size
* to the amount of dirty data, which is greater than arc_c_min.
*
* 2. The sum of the amount of dirty data contained by both the mru and
* mfu lists, plus the ARC's other accounting (e.g. the anon list),
* is less than arc_c_min.
* (i.e. arc_c_min > amount of dirty data)
*
* 2.1. arc_size is greater than or equal arc_c_min.
* (i.e. arc_size >= arc_c_min > amount of dirty data)
*
* In this case, not all clean data from the regular mru and mfu
* lists is actually evictable; we must leave enough clean data
* to keep arc_size above arc_c_min. Thus, the maximum amount of
* evictable data from the two lists combined, is exactly the
* difference between arc_size and arc_c_min.
*
* 2.2. arc_size is less than arc_c_min
* (i.e. arc_c_min > arc_size > amount of dirty data)
*
* In this case, none of the data contained in the mru and mfu
* lists is evictable, even if it's clean. Since arc_size is
* already below arc_c_min, evicting any more would only
* increase this negative difference.

Prioritize "metadata" in arc_get_data_buf When the arc is at it's size limit and a new buffer is added, data will be evicted (or recycled) from the arc to make room for this new buffer. As far as I can tell, this is to try and keep the arc from over stepping it's bounds (i.e. keep it below the size limitation placed on it). This makes sense conceptually, but there appears to be a subtle flaw in its current implementation, resulting in metadata buffers being throttled. When it evicts from the arc's lists, it also passes in a "type" so as to remove a buffer of the same type that it is adding. The problem with this is that once the size limit is hit, the ratio of "metadata" to "data" contained in the arc essentially becomes fixed. For example, consider the following scenario: * the size of the arc is capped at 10G * the meta_limit is capped at 4G * 9G of the arc contains "data" * 1G of the arc contains "metadata" Now, every time a new "metadata" buffer is created and added to the arc, an older "metadata" buffer(s) will be removed from the arc; preserving the 9G "data" to 1G "metadata" ratio that was in-place when the size limit was reached. This occurs even though the amount of "metadata" is far below the "metadata" limit. This can result in the arc behaving pathologically for certain workloads. To fix this, the arc_get_data_buf function was modified to evict "data" from the arc even when adding a "metadata" buffer; unless it's at the "metadata" limit. In addition, arc_evict now more closely resembles arc_evict_ghost; such that when evicting "data" from the arc, it may make a second pass over the arc lists and evict "metadata" if it cannot meet the eviction size the first time around.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache.

Disable aggressive arc_p growth by default For specific workloads consisting mainly of mfu data and new anon data buffers, the aggressive growth of arc_p found in the arc_get_data_buf() function can have detrimental effects on the mfu list size and ghost list hit rate. Running a workload consisting of two processes: * Process 1 is creating many small files * Process 2 is tar'ing a directory consisting of many small files I've seen arc_p and the mru grow to their maximum size, while the mru ghost list receives 100K times fewer hits than the mfu ghost list. Ideally, as the mfu ghost list receives hits, arc_p should be driven down and the size of the mfu should increase. Given the specific workload I was testing with, the mfu list size should grow to a point where almost no mfu ghost list hits would occur. Unfortunately, this does not happen because the newly dirtied anon buffers constancy drive arc_p to its maximum value and keep it there (effectively prioritizing the mru list and starving the mfu list down to a negligible size). The logic to increment arc_p from within the arc_get_data_buf() function was introduced many years ago in this upstream commit: commit 641fbdae3a027d12b3c3dcd18927ccafae6d58bc Author: maybee <none@none> Date: Wed Dec 20 15:46:12 2006 -0800 6505658 target MRU size (arc.p) needs to be adjusted more aggressively and since I don't fully understand the motivation for the change, I am reluctant to completely remove it. As a way to test out how it's removal might affect performance, I've disabled that code by default, but left it tunable via a module option. Thus, if its removal is found to be grossly detrimental for certain workloads, it can be re-enabled on the fly, without a code change.

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.

Add visibility in to arc_read This change is an attempt to add visibility into the arc_read calls occurring on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list corresponding to a call to arc_read. These entries are then exported through the kstat interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace. For each arc_read call, the following information is exported: * A unique identifier (uint64_t) * The time the entry was added to the list (hrtime_t) (*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list) * The objset ID (uint64_t) * The object number (uint64_t) * The indirection level (uint64_t) * The block ID (uint64_t) * The name of the function originating the arc_read call (char[24]) * The arc_flags from the arc_read call (uint32_t) * The PID of the reading thread (pid_t) * The command or name of thread originating read (char[16]) From this exported information one can see, in real time, exactly what is being read, what function is generating the read, and whether or not the read was found to be already cached. There is still some work to be done, but this should serve as a good starting point. Specifically, dbuf_read's are not accounted for in the currently exported information. Thus, a follow up patch should probably be added to export these calls that never call into arc_read (they only hit the dbuf hash table). In addition, it might be nice to create a utility similar to "arcstat.py" to digest the exported information and display it in a more readable format. Or perhaps, log the information and allow for it to be "replayed" at a later time. Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

For each arc_read call, the following information is exported: * A unique identifier (uint64_t) * The time the entry was added to the list (hrtime_t) (*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list) * The objset ID (uint64_t) * The object number (uint64_t) * The indirection level (uint64_t) * The block ID (uint64_t) * The name of the function originating the arc_read call (char[24]) * The arc_flags from the arc_read call (uint32_t) * The PID of the reading thread (pid_t) * The command or name of thread originating read (char[16]) From this exported information one can see, in real time, exactly what is being read, what function is generating the read, and whether or not the read was found to be already cached. There is still some work to be done, but this should serve as a good starting point. Specifically, dbuf_read's are not accounted for in the currently exported information. Thus, a follow up patch should probably be added to export these calls that never call into arc_read (they only hit the dbuf hash table). In addition, it might be nice to create a utility similar to "arcstat.py" to digest the exported information and display it in a more readable format. Or perhaps, log the information and allow for it to be "replayed" at a later time. Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus will eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory inefficiently for 2 reasons: 1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but will be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed before it (and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has at least some chance of being accessed again. 2. We partition the ARC into several buckets: user data that has been accessed only once (MRU) metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU) user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU) metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU) The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the primary control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata is to simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the past (each bucket "evicts against" itself). The secondary control is to evict data before evicting metadata. Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has more recently accessed, still-allocated blocks. Data in the useful bucket (with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to data in the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks). On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the MFU data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB. However, the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB) was freed blocks, and thus useless. Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket (230MB) was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed. The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more investigation. However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.

Fix inaccurate arcstat_l2_hdr_size calculations Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr) is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the following simple way: 1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf. 2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only state. The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory and tests were set upped in the following way: 1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool storage and the other one was used as the cache device. 2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool prepared in step 1 using iozone. 3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this: l2_size 4 4403780608 l2_hdr_size 4 0 which was weird. 4. After applying this patch and reran step 1-3, the results were as following: l2_size 4 4306443264 l2_hdr_size 4 535600 these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little bigger, as we can see. Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to examine what had happened. The script looked like this: probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state") { if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only) printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n") } It will print out some information each time we call funciton arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined. Signed-off-by: Ying Zhu <casualfisher@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

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.

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 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. 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).

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. 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).

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.

Set "arc_meta_limit" to 3/4 arc_c_max by default Unfortunately, this change is an cheap attempt to work around a pathological workload for the ARC. A "real" solution still needs to be fleshed out, so this patch is intended to alleviate the situation in the meantime. Let me try and describe the problem.. Data buffers residing in the dbuf hash table (dbuf cache) will keep a hold on their respective dnode, this dnode will in turn keep a hold on its backing dbuf (the physical block of the dnode object backing it). Since the dnode has a hold on its backing dbuf, the arc buffer for this dbuf is unevictable. What this essentially boils down to, "data" buffers have the potential to pin "metadata" in the arc (as a result of these dnode object buffers being unevictable). This scenario becomes a real problem when the workload consists of many small files (e.g. creating millions of 4K files). With this workload, the arc's "arc_meta_used" space get filled up with buffers for any resident directories as well as buffers for the objset's dnode object. Once the "arc_meta_limit" is reached, the directory buffers will be evicted and only the unevictable dnode object buffers will reside. If the workload is simply creating new small files, these dnode object buffers will never even be needed again, whereas the directory buffers will be used constantly until the creates move to a new directory. If "arc_c" and "arc_meta_limit" are sized appropriately, this situation wont occur. This is because as the data buffers accumulate, "arc_size" will eventually approach "arc_c" (before "arc_meta_used" reaches "arc_meta_limit"); at that point the data buffers will be evicted, which releases the hold on the dnode, which releases the hold on the dnode object's dbuf, which allows that buffer to be evicted from the arc in preference to more "useful" metadata. So, to side step the issue, we simply need to ensure "arc_size" reaches "arc_c" before "arc_meta_used" reaches "arc_meta_limit". In order to pick a proper limit, we have to do some math. To make things a little easier to follow, it is assumed that there will only be a single data buffer per file (which is probably always the case for "small" files anyways). Based on the current internals of the arc, if N files residing in the dbuf cache all pin a single dnode buffer (i.e. their dnodes all share the same physical dnode object block), then the following amount of "arc_meta_used" space will be consumed: - 16K for the dnode object's block - [ 16384 bytes] - N * sizeof(dnode_t) -------------- [ N * 928 bytes] - (N + 1) * sizeof(arc_buf_t) ------ [(N + 1) * 72 bytes] - (N + 1) * sizeof(arc_buf_hdr_t) -- [(N + 1) * 264 bytes] - (N + 1) * sizeof(dmu_buf_impl_t) - [(N + 1) * 280 bytes] To simplify, these N files will pin the following amount of "arc_meta_used" space as unevictable: Pinned "arc_meta_used" bytes = 16384 + N * 928 + (N + 1) * (72 + 264 + 280) Pinned "arc_meta_used" bytes = 17000 + N * 1544 This pinned space is regardless of the size of the files, and is only dependent on the number of pinned dnodes sharing a physical block (i.e. N). For example, 32 512b files sharing a single dnode object block would consume the same "arc_meta_used" space as 32 4K files sharing a single dnode object block. Now, given a files size of S, we can determine the total amount of space that will be consumed in the arc: Total = 17000 + N * 1544 + S * N ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ metadata data So, given these formulas, we can generate a table which states the ratio of pinned metadata to total arc (meta + data) using different values of N (number of pinned dnodes per pinned physical dnode block) and S (size of the file). File Sizes (S) | 512 | 1024 | 2048 | 4096 | 8192 | 16384 | ---+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+ 1 | 0.973132 | 0.947670 | 0.900544 | 0.819081 | 0.693597 | 0.530921 | 2 | 0.951497 | 0.907481 | 0.830632 | 0.710325 | 0.550779 | 0.380051 | N 4 | 0.918807 | 0.849809 | 0.738842 | 0.585844 | 0.414271 | 0.261250 | 8 | 0.877541 | 0.781803 | 0.641770 | 0.472505 | 0.309333 | 0.182965 | 16 | 0.835819 | 0.717945 | 0.559996 | 0.388885 | 0.241376 | 0.137253 | 32 | 0.802106 | 0.669597 | 0.503304 | 0.336277 | 0.202123 | 0.112423 | As you can see, if we wanted to support the absolute worst case of 1 dnode per physical dnode block and 512b files, we would have to set the "arc_meta_limit" to something greater than 97.3132% of "arc_c_max". At that point, it essentially defeats the purpose of having an "arc_meta_limit" at all. This patch changes the default value of "arc_meta_limit" to be 75% of "arc_c_max", which should be good enough for "most" workloads (I think).

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink().

Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux Under Solaris the ARC was designed to stay one step ahead of the VM subsystem. It would attempt to recognize low memory situtions before they occured and evict data from the cache. It would also make assessments about if there was enough free memory to perform a specific operation. This was all possible because Solaris exposes a fairly decent view of the memory state of the system to other kernel threads. Linux on the other hand does not make this information easily available. To avoid extensive modifications to the ARC the SPL attempts to provide these same interfaces. While this works it is not ideal and problems can arise when the ARC and Linux have different ideas about when your out of memory. This has manifested itself in the past as a spinning arc_reclaim_thread. This patch abandons the emulated Solaris interfaces in favor of the prefered Linux interface. That means moving the bulk of the memory reclaim logic out of the arc_reclaim_thread and in to the evict driven shrinker callback. The Linux VM will call this function when it needs memory. The ARC is then responsible for attempting to free the requested amount of memory if possible. Several interfaces have been modified to accomidate this approach, however the basic user space implementation remains the same. The following changes almost exclusively just apply to the kernel implementation. * Removed the hdr_recl() reclaim callback which is redundant with the broader arc_shrinker_func(). * Reduced arc_grow_retry to 5 seconds from 60. This is now used internally in the ARC with arc_no_grow to indicate that direct reclaim was recently performed. This typically indicates a rapid change in memory demands which the kswapd threads were unable to keep ahead of. As long as direct reclaim is happening once every 5 seconds arc growth will be paused to avoid further contributing to the existing memory pressure. The more common indirect reclaim paths will not set arc_no_grow. * arc_shrink() has been extended to take the number of bytes by which arc_c should be reduced. This allows for a more granual reduction of the arc target. Since the kernel provides a reclaim value to the arc_shrinker_func() this value is used instead of 1<<arc_shrink_shift. * arc_reclaim_needed() has been removed. It was used to determine if the system was under memory pressure and relied extensively on Solaris specific VM interfaces. In most case the new code just checks arc_no_grow which indicates that within the last arc_grow_retry seconds direct memory reclaim occurred. * arc_memory_throttle() has been updated to always include the amount of evictable memory (arc and page cache) in its free space calculations. This space is largely available in most call paths due to direct memory reclaim. * The Solaris pageout code was also removed to avoid confusion. It has always been disabled due to proc_pageout being defined as NULL in the Linux port. Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

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.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity.

The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes.

/*
* Level 2 ARC
*
* The level 2 ARC (L2ARC) is a cache layer in-between main memory and disk.
* It uses dedicated storage devices to hold cached data, which are populated
* using large infrequent writes. The main role of this cache is to boost
* the performance of random read workloads. The intended L2ARC devices
* include short-stroked disks, solid state disks, and other media with
* substantially faster read latency than disk.
*
* +-----------------------+
* | ARC |
* +-----------------------+
* | ^ ^
* | | |
* l2arc_feed_thread() arc_read()
* | | |
* | l2arc read |

* +-------+ +-------+
* +=========+ .-----.
* : L2ARC : |-_____-|
* : devices : | Disks |
* +=========+ `-_____-'
*
* Read requests are satisfied from the following sources, in order:
*
* 1) ARC
* 2) vdev cache of L2ARC devices
* 3) L2ARC devices
* 4) vdev cache of disks
* 5) disks
*
* Some L2ARC device types exhibit extremely slow write performance.
* To accommodate for this there are some significant differences between
* the L2ARC and traditional cache design:
*
* 1. There is no eviction path from the ARC to the L2ARC. Evictions from
* the ARC behave as usual, freeing buffers and placing headers on ghost
* lists. The ARC does not send buffers to the L2ARC during eviction as
* this would add inflated write latencies for all ARC memory pressure.
*
* 2. The L2ARC attempts to cache data from the ARC before it is evicted.
* It does this by periodically scanning buffers from the eviction-end of
* the MFU and MRU ARC lists, copying them to the L2ARC devices if they are
* not already there. It scans until a headroom of buffers is satisfied,
* which itself is a buffer for ARC eviction. If a compressible buffer is
* found during scanning and selected for writing to an L2ARC device, we
* temporarily boost scanning headroom during the next scan cycle to make
* sure we adapt to compression effects (which might significantly reduce
* the data volume we write to L2ARC). The thread that does this is
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* l2arc_feed_thread(), illustrated below; example sizes are included to
* provide a better sense of ratio than this diagram:
*
* head --> tail
* +---------------------+----------+
* ARC_mfu |:::::#:::::::::::::::|o#o###o###|-->. # already on L2ARC
* +---------------------+----------+ | o L2ARC eligible
* ARC_mru |:#:::::::::::::::::::|#o#ooo####|-->| : ARC buffer
* +---------------------+----------+ |
* 15.9 Gbytes ^ 32 Mbytes |
* headroom |

* | 8 Mbyte
* | write max
* V
* +==============================+
* L2ARC dev |####|#|###|###| |####| ... |
* +==============================+
* 32 Gbytes
*
* 3. If an ARC buffer is copied to the L2ARC but then hit instead of
* evicted, then the L2ARC has cached a buffer much sooner than it probably
* needed to, potentially wasting L2ARC device bandwidth and storage. It is
* safe to say that this is an uncommon case, since buffers at the end of
* the ARC lists have moved there due to inactivity.
*
* 4. If the ARC evicts faster than the L2ARC can maintain a headroom,
* then the L2ARC simply misses copying some buffers. This serves as a
* pressure valve to prevent heavy read workloads from both stalling the ARC
* with waits and clogging the L2ARC with writes. This also helps prevent
* the potential for the L2ARC to churn if it attempts to cache content too
* quickly, such as during backups of the entire pool.
*
* 5. After system boot and before the ARC has filled main memory, there are
* no evictions from the ARC and so the tails of the ARC_mfu and ARC_mru
* lists can remain mostly static. Instead of searching from tail of these
* lists as pictured, the l2arc_feed_thread() will search from the list heads
* for eligible buffers, greatly increasing its chance of finding them.
*
* The L2ARC device write speed is also boosted during this time so that
* the L2ARC warms up faster. Since there have been no ARC evictions yet,
* there are no L2ARC reads, and no fear of degrading read performance
* through increased writes.
*
* 6. Writes to the L2ARC devices are grouped and sent in-sequence, so that
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* the vdev queue can aggregate them into larger and fewer writes. Each
* device is written to in a rotor fashion, sweeping writes through
* available space then repeating.
*
* 7. The L2ARC does not store dirty content. It never needs to flush
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* write buffers back to disk based storage.
*
* 8. If an ARC buffer is written (and dirtied) which also exists in the
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* L2ARC, the now stale L2ARC buffer is immediately dropped.
*
* The performance of the L2ARC can be tweaked by a number of tunables, which
* may be necessary for different workloads:
*
* l2arc_write_max max write bytes per interval
* l2arc_write_boost extra write bytes during device warmup
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* l2arc_noprefetch skip caching prefetched buffers
* l2arc_nocompress skip compressing buffers
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* l2arc_headroom number of max device writes to precache
* l2arc_headroom_boost when we find compressed buffers during ARC
* scanning, we multiply headroom by this
* percentage factor for the next scan cycle,
* since more compressed buffers are likely to
* be present
2008-11-20 20:01:55 +00:00
* l2arc_feed_secs seconds between L2ARC writing
*
* Tunables may be removed or added as future performance improvements are
* integrated, and also may become zpool properties.
2009-02-18 20:51:31 +00:00
*
* There are three key functions that control how the L2ARC warms up:
*
* l2arc_write_eligible() check if a buffer is eligible to cache
* l2arc_write_size() calculate how much to write
* l2arc_write_interval() calculate sleep delay between writes
*
* These three functions determine what to write, how much, and how quickly
* to send writes.

Fix inaccurate arcstat_l2_hdr_size calculations Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr) is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the following simple way: 1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf. 2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only state. The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory and tests were set upped in the following way: 1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool storage and the other one was used as the cache device. 2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool prepared in step 1 using iozone. 3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this: l2_size 4 4403780608 l2_hdr_size 4 0 which was weird. 4. After applying this patch and reran step 1-3, the results were as following: l2_size 4 4306443264 l2_hdr_size 4 535600 these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little bigger, as we can see. Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to examine what had happened. The script looked like this: probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state") { if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only) printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n") } It will print out some information each time we call funciton arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined. Signed-off-by: Ying Zhu <casualfisher@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Fix inaccurate arcstat_l2_hdr_size calculations Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr) is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the following simple way: 1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf. 2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only state. The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory and tests were set upped in the following way: 1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool storage and the other one was used as the cache device. 2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool prepared in step 1 using iozone. 3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this: l2_size 4 4403780608 l2_hdr_size 4 0 which was weird. 4. After applying this patch and reran step 1-3, the results were as following: l2_size 4 4306443264 l2_hdr_size 4 535600 these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little bigger, as we can see. Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to examine what had happened. The script looked like this: probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state") { if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only) printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n") } It will print out some information each time we call funciton arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined. Signed-off-by: Ying Zhu <casualfisher@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Use KM_PUSHPAGE in l2arc_write_buffers There is potential for deadlock in the l2arc_feed thread if KM_PUSHPAGE is not used for the allocations made in l2arc_write_buffers. Specifically, if KM_PUSHPAGE is not used for these allocations, it is possible for reclaim to be triggered which can cause the l2arc_feed thread to deadlock itself on the ARC_mru mutex. An example of this is demonstrated in the following backtrace of the l2arc_feed thread: crash> bt 4123 PID: 4123 TASK: ffff88062f8c1500 CPU: 6 COMMAND: "l2arc_feed" 0 [ffff88062511d610] schedule at ffffffff814eeee0 1 [ffff88062511d6d8] __mutex_lock_slowpath at ffffffff814f057e 2 [ffff88062511d748] mutex_lock at ffffffff814f041b 3 [ffff88062511d768] arc_evict at ffffffffa05130ca [zfs] 4 [ffff88062511d858] arc_adjust at ffffffffa05139a9 [zfs] 5 [ffff88062511d878] arc_shrink at ffffffffa0513a95 [zfs] 6 [ffff88062511d898] arc_kmem_reap_now at ffffffffa0513be8 [zfs] 7 [ffff88062511d8c8] arc_shrinker_func at ffffffffa0513ccc [zfs] 8 [ffff88062511d8f8] shrink_slab at ffffffff8112a17a 9 [ffff88062511d958] do_try_to_free_pages at ffffffff8112bfdf 10 [ffff88062511d9e8] try_to_free_pages at ffffffff8112c3ed 11 [ffff88062511da98] __alloc_pages_nodemask at ffffffff8112431d 12 [ffff88062511dbb8] kmem_getpages at ffffffff8115e632 13 [ffff88062511dbe8] fallback_alloc at ffffffff8115f24a 14 [ffff88062511dc68] ____cache_alloc_node at ffffffff8115efc9 15 [ffff88062511dcc8] __kmalloc at ffffffff8115fbf9 16 [ffff88062511dd18] kmem_alloc_debug at ffffffffa047b8cb [spl] 17 [ffff88062511dda8] l2arc_feed_thread at ffffffffa0511e71 [zfs] 18 [ffff88062511dea8] thread_generic_wrapper at ffffffffa047d1a1 [spl] 19 [ffff88062511dee8] kthread at ffffffff81090a86 20 [ffff88062511df48] kernel_thread at ffffffff8100c14a Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Fix inaccurate arcstat_l2_hdr_size calculations Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr) is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the following simple way: 1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf. 2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only state. The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory and tests were set upped in the following way: 1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool storage and the other one was used as the cache device. 2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool prepared in step 1 using iozone. 3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this: l2_size 4 4403780608 l2_hdr_size 4 0 which was weird. 4. After applying this patch and reran step 1-3, the results were as following: l2_size 4 4306443264 l2_hdr_size 4 535600 these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little bigger, as we can see. Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to examine what had happened. The script looked like this: probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state") { if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only) printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n") } It will print out some information each time we call funciton arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined. Signed-off-by: Ying Zhu <casualfisher@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux Under Solaris the ARC was designed to stay one step ahead of the VM subsystem. It would attempt to recognize low memory situtions before they occured and evict data from the cache. It would also make assessments about if there was enough free memory to perform a specific operation. This was all possible because Solaris exposes a fairly decent view of the memory state of the system to other kernel threads. Linux on the other hand does not make this information easily available. To avoid extensive modifications to the ARC the SPL attempts to provide these same interfaces. While this works it is not ideal and problems can arise when the ARC and Linux have different ideas about when your out of memory. This has manifested itself in the past as a spinning arc_reclaim_thread. This patch abandons the emulated Solaris interfaces in favor of the prefered Linux interface. That means moving the bulk of the memory reclaim logic out of the arc_reclaim_thread and in to the evict driven shrinker callback. The Linux VM will call this function when it needs memory. The ARC is then responsible for attempting to free the requested amount of memory if possible. Several interfaces have been modified to accomidate this approach, however the basic user space implementation remains the same. The following changes almost exclusively just apply to the kernel implementation. * Removed the hdr_recl() reclaim callback which is redundant with the broader arc_shrinker_func(). * Reduced arc_grow_retry to 5 seconds from 60. This is now used internally in the ARC with arc_no_grow to indicate that direct reclaim was recently performed. This typically indicates a rapid change in memory demands which the kswapd threads were unable to keep ahead of. As long as direct reclaim is happening once every 5 seconds arc growth will be paused to avoid further contributing to the existing memory pressure. The more common indirect reclaim paths will not set arc_no_grow. * arc_shrink() has been extended to take the number of bytes by which arc_c should be reduced. This allows for a more granual reduction of the arc target. Since the kernel provides a reclaim value to the arc_shrinker_func() this value is used instead of 1<<arc_shrink_shift. * arc_reclaim_needed() has been removed. It was used to determine if the system was under memory pressure and relied extensively on Solaris specific VM interfaces. In most case the new code just checks arc_no_grow which indicates that within the last arc_grow_retry seconds direct memory reclaim occurred. * arc_memory_throttle() has been updated to always include the amount of evictable memory (arc and page cache) in its free space calculations. This space is largely available in most call paths due to direct memory reclaim. * The Solaris pageout code was also removed to avoid confusion. It has always been disabled due to proc_pageout being defined as NULL in the Linux port. Signed-off-by: Prakash Surya <surya1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

Restructure per-filesystem reclaim Originally when the ARC prune callback was introduced the idea was to register a single callback for the ZPL. The ARC could invoke this call back if it needed the ZPL to drop dentries, inodes, or other cache objects which might be pinning buffers in the ARC. The ZPL would iterate over all ZFS super blocks and perform the reclaim. For the most part this design has worked well but due to limitations in 2.6.35 and earlier kernels there were some problems. This patch is designed to address those issues. 1) iterate_supers_type() is not provided by all kernels which makes it impossible to safely iterate over all zpl_fs_type filesystems in a single callback. The most straight forward and portable way to resolve this is to register a callback per-filesystem during mount. The arc_*_prune_callback() functions have always supported multiple callbacks so this is functionally a very small change. 2) Commit 050d22b removed the non-portable shrink_dcache_memory() and shrink_icache_memory() functions and didn't replace them with equivalent functionality. This meant that for Linux 3.1 and older kernels the ARC had no mechanism to drop dentries and inodes from the caches if needed. This patch adds that missing functionality by calling shrink_dcache_parent() to release dentries which may be pinning inodes. This will result in all unused cache entries being dropped which is a bit heavy handed but it's the only interface available for old kernels. 3) A zpl_drop_inode() callback is registered for kernels older than 2.6.35 which do not support the .evict_inode callback. This ensures that when the last reference on an inode is dropped it is immediately removed from the cache. If this isn't done than inode can end up on the global unused LRU with no mechanism available to ZFS to drop them. Since the ARC buffers are not dropped the hottest inodes can still be recreated without performing disk IO.

Disable aggressive arc_p growth by default For specific workloads consisting mainly of mfu data and new anon data buffers, the aggressive growth of arc_p found in the arc_get_data_buf() function can have detrimental effects on the mfu list size and ghost list hit rate. Running a workload consisting of two processes: * Process 1 is creating many small files * Process 2 is tar'ing a directory consisting of many small files I've seen arc_p and the mru grow to their maximum size, while the mru ghost list receives 100K times fewer hits than the mfu ghost list. Ideally, as the mfu ghost list receives hits, arc_p should be driven down and the size of the mfu should increase. Given the specific workload I was testing with, the mfu list size should grow to a point where almost no mfu ghost list hits would occur. Unfortunately, this does not happen because the newly dirtied anon buffers constancy drive arc_p to its maximum value and keep it there (effectively prioritizing the mru list and starving the mfu list down to a negligible size). The logic to increment arc_p from within the arc_get_data_buf() function was introduced many years ago in this upstream commit: commit 641fbdae3a027d12b3c3dcd18927ccafae6d58bc Author: maybee <none@none> Date: Wed Dec 20 15:46:12 2006 -0800 6505658 target MRU size (arc.p) needs to be adjusted more aggressively and since I don't fully understand the motivation for the change, I am reluctant to completely remove it. As a way to test out how it's removal might affect performance, I've disabled that code by default, but left it tunable via a module option. Thus, if its removal is found to be grossly detrimental for certain workloads, it can be re-enabled on the fly, without a code change.
