OpenZFS 9102 - zfs should be able to initialize storage devices PROBLEM ======== The first access to a block incurs a performance penalty on some platforms (e.g. AWS's EBS, VMware VMDKs). Therefore we recommend that volumes are "thick provisioned", where supported by the platform (VMware). This can create a large delay in getting a new virtual machines up and running (or adding storage to an existing Engine). If the thick provision step is omitted, write performance will be suboptimal until all blocks on the LUN have been written. SOLUTION ========= This feature introduces a way to 'initialize' the disks at install or in the background to make sure we don't incur this first read penalty. When an entire LUN is added to ZFS, we make all space available immediately, and allow ZFS to find unallocated space and zero it out. This works with concurrent writes to arbitrary offsets, ensuring that we don't zero out something that has been (or is in the middle of being) written. This scheme can also be applied to existing pools (affecting only free regions on the vdev). Detailed design: - new subcommand:zpool initialize [-cs] <pool> [<vdev> ...] - start, suspend, or cancel initialization - Creates new open-context thread for each vdev - Thread iterates through all metaslabs in this vdev - Each metaslab: - select a metaslab - load the metaslab - mark the metaslab as being zeroed - walk all free ranges within that metaslab and translate them to ranges on the leaf vdev - issue a "zeroing" I/O on the leaf vdev that corresponds to a free range on the metaslab we're working on - continue until all free ranges for this metaslab have been "zeroed" - reset/unmark the metaslab being zeroed - if more metaslabs exist, then repeat above tasks. - if no more metaslabs, then we're done. - progress for the initialization is stored on-disk in the vdev’s leaf zap object. The following information is stored: - the last offset that has been initialized - the state of the initialization process (i.e. active, suspended, or canceled) - the start time for the initialization - progress is reported via the zpool status command and shows information for each of the vdevs that are initializing Porting notes: - Added zfs_initialize_value module parameter to set the pattern written by "zpool initialize". - Added zfs_vdev_{initializing,removal}_{min,max}_active module options.

#ifndef _SYS_VDEV_INITIALIZE_H

zfs initialize performance enhancements PROBLEM ======== When invoking "zpool initialize" on a pool the command will create a thread to initialize each disk. Unfortunately, it does this serially across many transaction groups which can result in commands taking a long time to return to the user and may appear hung. The same thing is true when trying to suspend/cancel the operation. SOLUTION ========= This change refactors the way we invoke the initialize interface to ensure we can start or stop the intialization in just a few transaction groups. When stopping or cancelling a vdev initialization perform it in two phases. First signal each vdev initialization thread that it should exit, then after all threads have been signaled wait for them to exit. On a pool with 40 leaf vdevs this reduces the vdev initialize stop/cancel time from ~10 minutes to under a second. The reason for this is spa_vdev_initialize() no longer needs to wait on multiple full TXGs per leaf vdev being stopped. This commit additionally adds some missing checks for the passed "initialize_vdevs" input nvlist. The contents of the user provided input "initialize_vdevs" nvlist must be validated to ensure all values are uint64s. This is done in zfs_ioc_pool_initialize() in order to keep all of these checks in a single location. Updated the innvl and outnvl comments to match the formatting used for all other new sytle ioctls.
