Illumos #3805 arc shouldn't cache freed blocks 3805 arc shouldn't cache freed blocks Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Christopher Siden <christopher.siden@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Richard Elling <richard.elling@dey-sys.com> Reviewed by: Will Andrews <will@firepipe.net> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@nexenta.com> References: illumos/illumos-gate@6e6d5868f52089b9026785bd90257a3d3f6e5ee2 https://www.illumos.org/issues/3805 ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache. On dcenter, we saw that we were caching ~256GB of metadata, while the pool only had <4GB of metadata on disk. We were wasting about half the system's RAM (252GB) on blocks that have been freed. 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.

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

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
