The current space map encoding has the following disadvantages: [1] Assuming 512 sector size each entry can represent at most 16MB for a segment. This makes the encoding very inefficient for large regions of space. [2] As vdev-wide space maps have started to be used by new features (i.e. device removal, zpool checkpoint) we've started imposing limits in the vdevs that can be used with them based on the maximum addressable offset (currently 64PB for a top-level vdev). The new remains backwards compatible with the old one. The introduced two-word entry format, besides extending the limits imposed by the single-entry layout, also includes a vdev field and some extra padding after its prefix. The extra padding after the prefix should is reserved for future usage (e.g. new prefixes for future encodings or new fields for flags). The new vdev field not only makes the space maps more self-descriptive, but also opens the doors for pool-wide space maps. One final important note is that the number of bits used for vdevs is reduced to 24 bits for blkptrs. That was decided as we don't know of any setups that use more than 16M vdevs for the time being and we wanted to fit the vdev field in the space map. In addition that gives us some extra bits in dva_t. illumos/illumos-gate@17f11284b4 Reviewed by: Matt Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: George Wilson <gwilson@zfsmail.com> Approved by: Gordon Ross <gwr@nexenta.com> Author: Serapheim Dimitropoulos <serapheim@delphix.com> |
