The man page claims that with O_FSYNC (aka O_SYNC) the kernel will not cache
written data. However, that's not true. Nor does POSIX require it.
Perhaps it was true when that section of the man page was written in r69336
(I haven't checked). But it's not true now. Now the effect is simply that
writes are sent to disk immediately and synchronously, but they're still
cached.

For busy ARC situation when arc_size close to arc_c is desired. But
then it is quite likely that aggsum_compare(&arc_size, arc_c) will need
to flush per-CPU buckets to find exact comparison result. Doing that
often in a hot path penalizes whole idea of aggsum usage there, since it
replaces few simple atomic additions with dozens of lock acquisitions.
Replacing aggsum_compare() with aggsum_upper_bound() in code increasing
arc_p when ARC is growing (arc_size < arc_c) according to PMC profiles
allows to save ~5% of CPU time in aggsum code during sequential write
to 12 ZVOLs with 16KB block size on large dual-socket system.
I suppose there some minor arc_p behavior change due to lower precision
of the new code, but I don't think it is a big deal, since it should
affect only very small window in time (aggsum buckets are flushed every
second) and in ARC size (buckets are limited to 10 average ARC blocks
per CPU).

Normally td_runtime is updated on context switch, but there are some kernel

Memory copy is too heavy operation to do under the congested lock.
Moving it out reduces congestion by many times to almost invisible.
Since the original zio removed from the queue, and the child zio is
not executed yet, I don't see why would the copy need protection.
My guess it just remained like this from the time when lock was not
dropped here, which was added later to fix lock ordering issue.
Multi-threaded sequential write tests with both HDD and SSD pools
with ZVOL block sizes of 4KB, 16KB, 64KB and 128KB all show major
reduction of lock congestion, saving from 15% to 35% of CPU time
and increasing throughput from 10% to 40%.

actually complete in 2-3 microseconds.
By polling the status register with a delay of 4us with exponential
backoff, the performance of most IPMI operations is significantly
improved:
- A BMC update on a Supermicro x9 or x11 motherboard goes from ~1 hour
to ~6-8 minutes.
- An ipmitool sensor list time improves by a factor of 4.
Testing showed no significant improvements on a modern server by using
a lower delay.
The changes should also generally reduce the total amount of CPU or
I/O bandwidth used for a given IPMI operation.
