abd_alloc should use scatter for >1K allocations abd_alloc() normally does scatter allocations, thus solving the problem that ABD originally set out to: the bulk of ZFS's allocations are single pages, which are faster to allocate and free, and don't suffer from internal fragmentation (and the inability to reclaim memory because some buffers in the slab are still allocated). However, the current code does linear allocations for 4KB and smaller allocations, defeating the purpose of ABD. Scatter ABD's use at least one page each, so sub-page allocations waste some space when allocated as scatter (e.g. 2KB scatter allocation wastes half of each page). Using linear ABD's for small allocations means that they will be put on slabs which contain many allocations. This can improve memory efficiency, but it also makes it much harder for ARC evictions to actually free pages, because all the buffers on one slab need to be freed in order for the slab (and underlying pages) to be freed. Typically, 512B and 1KB kmem caches have 16 buffers per slab, so it's possible for them to actually waste more memory than scatter (one page per buf = wasting 3/4 or 7/8th; one buf per slab = wasting 15/16th). Spill blocks are typically 512B and are heavily used on systems running selinux with the default dnode size and the `xattr=sa` property set. By default we will use linear allocations for 512B and 1KB, and scatter allocations for larger (1.5KB and up).

Add TRIM support UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other SAN-like storage back-ends. By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can often more efficiently manage itself. This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize` feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the pool. The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate() code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per- vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for a consistent user experience. The core difference is that instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands for those extents. The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq. This new type makes is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c. These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs. This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline, one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size limit since they contain no data. In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim' property. It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the manual TRIM. However, instead of relying on the extents in a metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept per metaslab. When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree. The ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs. Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`. This may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time was allowed to aggregate them. An automatic TRIM and a manual `zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

OpenZFS 9188 - increase size of dbuf cache to reduce indirect block decompression With compressed ARC (bug 6950) we use up to 25% of our CPU to decompress indirect blocks, under a workload of random cached reads. To reduce this decompression cost, we would like to increase the size of the dbuf cache so that more indirect blocks can be stored uncompressed. If we are caching entire large files of recordsize=8K, the indirect blocks use 1/64th as much memory as the data blocks (assuming they have the same compression ratio). We suggest making the dbuf cache be 1/32nd of all memory, so that in this scenario we should be able to keep all the indirect blocks decompressed in the dbuf cache. (We want it to be more than the 1/64th that the indirect blocks would use because we need to cache other stuff in the dbuf cache as well.) In real world workloads, this won't help as dramatically as the example above, but we think it's still worth it because the risk of decreasing performance is low. The potential negative performance impact is that we will be slightly reducing the size of the ARC (by ~3%). Porting Notes: * Added modules options to zfs-module-parameters.5 man page. * Preserved scaling based on target ARC size rather than max ARC size.

OpenZFS 9337 - zfs get all is slow due to uncached metadata This project's goal is to make read-heavy channel programs and zfs(1m) administrative commands faster by caching all the metadata that they will need in the dbuf layer. This will prevent the data from being evicted, so that any future call to i.e. zfs get all won't have to go to disk (very much). There are two parts: The dbuf_metadata_cache. We identify what to put into the cache based on the object type of each dbuf. Caching objset properties os {version,normalization,utf8only,casesensitivity} in the objset_t. The reason these needed to be cached is that although they are queried frequently, they aren't stored in a dbuf type which we can easily recognize and cache in the dbuf layer; instead, we have to explicitly store them. There's already existing infrastructure for maintaining cached properties in the objset setup code, so I simply used that. Performance Testing: - Disabled kmem_flags - Tuned dbuf_cache_max_bytes very low (128K) - Tuned zfs_arc_max very low (64M) Created test pool with 400 filesystems, and 100 snapshots per filesystem.

fat zap should prefetch when iterating When iterating over a ZAP object, we're almost always certain to iterate over the entire object. If there are multiple leaf blocks, we can realize a performance win by issuing reads for all the leaf blocks in parallel when the iteration begins. For example, if we have 10,000 snapshots, "zfs destroy -nv pool/fs@1%9999" can take 30 minutes when the cache is cold. This change provides a >3x performance improvement, by issuing the reads for all ~64 blocks of each ZAP object in parallel.

Examples are device removal's vdev_obsolete_sm or vdev_chedkpoint_sm from this review. Both of these have a 1:1 relationship with each vdev and could benefit from a bigger block size. Porting notes: * The part of dsl_scan_sync() which handles async destroys has been moved into the new dsl_process_async_destroys() function. * Remove "VERIFY(!(flags & FWRITE))" in "kernel.c" so zhack can write to block device backed pools. * ZTS: * Fix get_txg() in zpool_sync_001_pos due to "checkpoint_txg". * Don't use large dd block sizes on /dev/urandom under Linux in checkpoint_capacity. * Adopt Delphix-OS's setting of 4 (spa_asize_inflation = SPA_DVAS_PER_BP + 1) for the checkpoint_capacity test to speed its attempts to fill the pool * Create the base and nested pools with sync=disabled to speed up the "setup" phase. * Clear labels in test pool between checkpoint tests to avoid duplicate pool issues. * The import_rewind_device_replaced test has been marked as "known to fail" for the reasons listed in its DISCLAIMER. * New module parameters: zfs_spa_discard_memory_limit, zfs_remove_max_bytes_pause (not documented - debugging only) vdev_max_ms_count (formerly metaslabs_per_vdev) vdev_min_ms_count Authored by: Serapheim Dimitropoulos <serapheim.dimitro@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: John Kennedy <john.kennedy@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Dan Kimmel <dan.kimmel@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Approved by: Richard Lowe <richlowe@richlowe.net> Ported-by: Tim Chase <tim@chase2k.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Chase <tim@chase2k.com> OpenZFS-issue: https://illumos.org/issues/9166 OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/7159fdb8 Closes #7570

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.

OpenZFS 9075 - Improve ZFS pool import/load process and corrupted pool recovery Some work has been done lately to improve the debugability of the ZFS pool load (and import) process. This includes: 7638 Refactor spa_load_impl into several functions 8961 SPA load/import should tell us why it failed 7277 zdb should be able to print zfs_dbgmsg's To iterate on top of that, there's a few changes that were made to make the import process more resilient and crash free. One of the first tasks during the pool load process is to parse a config provided from userland that describes what devices the pool is composed of. A vdev tree is generated from that config, and then all the vdevs are opened. The Meta Object Set (MOS) of the pool is accessed, and several metadata objects that are necessary to load the pool are read. The exact configuration of the pool is also stored inside the MOS. Since the configuration provided from userland is external and might not accurately describe the vdev tree of the pool at the txg that is being loaded, it cannot be relied upon to safely operate the pool. For that reason, the configuration in the MOS is read early on. In the past, the two configurations were compared together and if there was a mismatch then the load process was aborted and an error was returned. The latter was a good way to ensure a pool does not get corrupted, however it made the pool load process needlessly fragile in cases where the vdev configuration changed or the userland configuration was outdated. Since the MOS is stored in 3 copies, the configuration provided by userland doesn't have to be perfect in order to read its contents. Hence, a new approach has been adopted: The pool is first opened with the untrusted userland configuration just so that the real configuration can be read from the MOS. The trusted MOS configuration is then used to generate a new vdev tree and the pool is re-opened. When the pool is opened with an untrusted configuration, writes are disabled to avoid accidentally damaging it. During reads, some sanity checks are performed on block pointers to see if each DVA points to a known vdev; when the configuration is untrusted, instead of panicking the system if those checks fail we simply avoid issuing reads to the invalid DVAs. This new two-step pool load process now allows rewinding pools accross vdev tree changes such as device replacement, addition, etc. Loading a pool from an external config file in a clustering environment also becomes much safer now since the pool will import even if the config is outdated and didn't, for instance, register a recent device addition. With this code in place, it became relatively easy to implement a long-sought-after feature: the ability to import a pool with missing top level (i.e. non-redundant) devices. Note that since this almost guarantees some loss of data, this feature is for now restricted to a read-only import. Porting notes (ZTS): * Fix 'make dist' target in zpool_import * The maximum path length allowed by tar is 99 characters. Several of the new test cases exceeded this limit resulting in them not being included in the tarball. Shorten the names slightly. * Set/get tunables using accessor functions. * Get last synced txg via the "zfs_txg_history" mechanism. * Clear zinject handlers in cleanup for import_cache_device_replaced and import_rewind_device_replaced in order that the zpool can be exported if there is an error. * Increase FILESIZE to 8G in zfs-test.sh to allow for a larger ext4 file system to be created on ZFS_DISK2. Also, there's no need to partition ZFS_DISK2 at all. The partitioning had already been disabled for multipath devices. Among other things, the partitioning steals some space from the ext4 file system, makes it difficult to accurately calculate the paramters to parted and can make some of the tests fail. * Increase FS_SIZE and FILE_SIZE in the zpool_import test configuration now that FILESIZE is larger. * Write more data in order that device evacuation take lonnger in a couple tests. * Use mkdir -p to avoid errors when the directory already exists. * Remove use of sudo in import_rewind_config_changed.

It also limits the worst-case time to allocate space. If we have
less than this amount of free space, most ZPL operations (e.g. write,

OpenZFS 9486 - reduce memory used by device removal on fragmented pools Device removal allocates a new location for each allocated segment on the disk that's being removed. Each allocation results in one entry in the mapping table, which maps from old location + length to new location. When a fragmented disk is removed, this can result in a large number of mapping entries, and thus a large amount of memory consumed by the mapping table. In the worst real-world cases, we've seen around 1GB of RAM per 1TB of storage removed. We can improve on this situation by allocating larger segments, which span across both allocated and free regions of the device being removed. By including free regions in the allocation (and thus mapping), we reduce the number of mapping entries. For example, if we have a 4K allocation followed by 1K free and then 4K allocated, we would allocate 4+1+4 = 9KB, and then move the entire region (including allocated and free parts). In this case we used one mapping where previously we would have used two, but often the ratio is much higher (up to 20:1 in real-world use). We then need to mark the regions that were free on the removing device as free in the new locations, and also obsolete in the mapping entry. This method preserves the fragmentation of the removing device, rather than consolidating its allocated space into a small number of chunks where possible. But it results in drastic reduction of memory used by the mapping table - around 20x in the most-fragmented cases. In the most fragmented real-world cases, this reduces memory used by the mapping from ~1GB to ~50MB of RAM per 1TB of storage removed. Less fragmented cases will typically also see around 50-100MB of RAM per 1TB of storage.

fat zap should prefetch when iterating When iterating over a ZAP object, we're almost always certain to iterate over the entire object.

abd_alloc should use scatter for >1K allocations abd_alloc() normally does scatter allocations, thus solving the problem that ABD originally set out to: the bulk of ZFS's allocations are single pages, which are faster to allocate and free, and don't suffer from internal fragmentation (and the inability to reclaim memory because some buffers in the slab are still allocated). However, the current code does linear allocations for 4KB and smaller allocations, defeating the purpose of ABD. Scatter ABD's use at least one page each, so sub-page allocations waste some space when allocated as scatter (e.g. 2KB scatter allocation wastes half of each page). Using linear ABD's for small allocations means that they will be put on slabs which contain many allocations. This can improve memory efficiency, but it also makes it much harder for ARC evictions to actually free pages, because all the buffers on one slab need to be freed in order for the slab (and underlying pages) to be freed. Typically, 512B and 1KB kmem caches have 16 buffers per slab, so it's possible for them to actually waste more memory than scatter (one page per buf = wasting 3/4 or 7/8th; one buf per slab = wasting 15/16th).

Limit the amount of dnode metadata in the ARC Metadata-intensive workloads can cause the ARC to become permanently filled with dnode_t objects as they're pinned by the VFS layer. Subsequent data-intensive workloads may only benefit from about 25% of the potential ARC (arc_c_max - arc_meta_limit). In order to help track metadata usage more precisely, the other_size metadata arcstat has replaced with dbuf_size, dnode_size and bonus_size. The new zfs_arc_dnode_limit tunable, which defaults to 10% of zfs_arc_meta_limit, defines the minimum number of bytes which is desirable to be consumed by dnodes. Attempts to evict non-metadata will trigger async prune tasks if the space used by dnodes exceeds this limit. The new zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent tunable specifies the amount by which the excess dnode space is attempted to be pruned as a percentage of the amount by which zfs_arc_dnode_limit is being exceeded. By default, it tries to unpin 10% of the dnodes. The problem of dnode metadata pinning was observed with the following testing procedure (in this example, zfs_arc_max is set to 4GiB): - Create a large number of small files until arc_meta_used exceeds arc_meta_limit (3GiB with default tuning) and arc_prune starts increasing. - Create a 3GiB file with dd. Observe arc_mata_used. It will still be around 3GiB. - Repeatedly read the 3GiB file and observe arc_meta_limit as before. It will continue to stay around 3GiB. With this modification, space for the 3GiB file is gradually made available as subsequent demands on the ARC are made. The previous behavior can be restored by setting zfs_arc_dnode_limit to the same value as the zfs_arc_meta_limit.

If set to a non zero value, it will replace the arc_grow_retry value with this value.
Sequential scrub and resilvers Currently, scrubs and resilvers can take an extremely long time to complete. This is largely due to the fact that zfs scans process pools in logical order, as determined by each block's bookmark. This makes sense from a simplicity perspective, but blocks in zfs are often scattered randomly across disks, particularly due to zfs's copy-on-write mechanisms. This patch improves performance by splitting scrubs and resilvers into a metadata scanning phase and an IO issuing phase. The metadata scan reads through the structure of the pool and gathers an in-memory queue of I/Os, sorted by size and offset on disk. The issuing phase will then issue the scrub I/Os as sequentially as possible, greatly improving performance. This patch also updates and cleans up some of the scan code which has not been updated in several years.

Update arc_memory_throttle() to check pageout This brings the behavior of arc_memory_throttle() back in sync with illumos. The updated memory throttling policy roughly goes like this: * Never throttle if more than 10% of memory is free. This threshold is configurable with the zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent module option. * Minimize any throttling of kswapd even when free memory is below the set threshold. Allow it to write out pages as quickly as possible to help alleviate the memory pressure. * Delay all other threads when free memory is below the set threshold in order to avoid compounding the memory pressure. Buffers will be evicted from the ARC to reduce the issue. The Linux specific zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option has been removed in favor of the existing zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent tuning. Setting zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent=0 will have the same effect as zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable and it was therefore redundant. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #3637

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.

Illumos 5497 - lock contention on arcs_mtx Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Richard Elling <richard.elling@richardelling.com> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@omniti.com> Porting notes and other significant code changes: The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch. Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every time it runs. The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts() since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically. Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch: 302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux 39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c" 77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation 94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta Trace support for multilist_insert() and multilist_remove() has been added and produces the following output: fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448324: zfs_multilist__insert: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 63 } fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448347: zfs_multilist__remove: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 29 } The following arcstats have been removed: recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which have been updated appropriately. l2_writes_hdr_miss The following arcstats have been added: evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to evict enough buffers to reach its target amount. evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction because it was being written to the l2arc. l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss. Number of times l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries). arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module parameter (see below). The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme. Additional multilist- related stats could be added in the future but would likely require extensions to the mulilist API.

.RE
Fix arc_adjust_meta() behavior 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.

OpenZFS 9075 - Improve ZFS pool import/load process and corrupted pool recovery Some work has been done lately to improve the debugability of the ZFS pool load (and import) process. This includes: 7638 Refactor spa_load_impl into several functions 8961 SPA load/import should tell us why it failed 7277 zdb should be able to print zfs_dbgmsg's To iterate on top of that, there's a few changes that were made to make the import process more resilient and crash free. One of the first tasks during the pool load process is to parse a config provided from userland that describes what devices the pool is composed of. A vdev tree is generated from that config, and then all the vdevs are opened. The Meta Object Set (MOS) of the pool is accessed, and several metadata objects that are necessary to load the pool are read. The exact configuration of the pool is also stored inside the MOS. Since the configuration provided from userland is external and might not accurately describe the vdev tree of the pool at the txg that is being loaded, it cannot be relied upon to safely operate the pool. For that reason, the configuration in the MOS is read early on. In the past, the two configurations were compared together and if there was a mismatch then the load process was aborted and an error was returned. The latter was a good way to ensure a pool does not get corrupted, however it made the pool load process needlessly fragile in cases where the vdev configuration changed or the userland configuration was outdated. Since the MOS is stored in 3 copies, the configuration provided by userland doesn't have to be perfect in order to read its contents. Hence, a new approach has been adopted: The pool is first opened with the untrusted userland configuration just so that the real configuration can be read from the MOS. The trusted MOS configuration is then used to generate a new vdev tree and the pool is re-opened. When the pool is opened with an untrusted configuration, writes are disabled to avoid accidentally damaging it. During reads, some sanity checks are performed on block pointers to see if each DVA points to a known vdev; when the configuration is untrusted, instead of panicking the system if those checks fail we simply avoid issuing reads to the invalid DVAs. This new two-step pool load process now allows rewinding pools accross vdev tree changes such as device replacement, addition, etc. Loading a pool from an external config file in a clustering environment also becomes much safer now since the pool will import even if the config is outdated and didn't, for instance, register a recent device addition. With this code in place, it became relatively easy to implement a long-sought-after feature: the ability to import a pool with missing top level (i.e. non-redundant) devices. Note that since this almost guarantees some loss of data, this feature is for now restricted to a read-only import. Porting notes (ZTS): * Fix 'make dist' target in zpool_import * The maximum path length allowed by tar is 99 characters. Several of the new test cases exceeded this limit resulting in them not being included in the tarball. Shorten the names slightly. * Set/get tunables using accessor functions. * Get last synced txg via the "zfs_txg_history" mechanism. * Clear zinject handlers in cleanup for import_cache_device_replaced and import_rewind_device_replaced in order that the zpool can be exported if there is an error. * Increase FILESIZE to 8G in zfs-test.sh to allow for a larger ext4 file system to be created on ZFS_DISK2. Also, there's no need to partition ZFS_DISK2 at all. The partitioning had already been disabled for multipath devices. Among other things, the partitioning steals some space from the ext4 file system, makes it difficult to accurately calculate the paramters to parted and can make some of the tests fail. * Increase FS_SIZE and FILE_SIZE in the zpool_import test configuration now that FILESIZE is larger. * Write more data in order that device evacuation take lonnger in a couple tests. * Use mkdir -p to avoid errors when the directory already exists. * Remove use of sudo in import_rewind_config_changed.

The ARC size is considered to be overflowing if it exceeds the current
ARC target size (arc_c) by a threshold determined by this parameter.
The threshold is calculated as a fraction of arc_c using the formula
"arc_c >> \fBzfs_arc_overflow_shift\fR".
The default value of 8 causes the ARC to be considered to be overflowing
if it exceeds the target size by 1/256th (0.3%) of the target size.
When the ARC is overflowing, new buffer allocations are stalled until
the reclaim thread catches up and the overflow condition no longer exists.

Sequential scrub and resilvers Currently, scrubs and resilvers can take an extremely long time to complete. This is largely due to the fact that zfs scans process pools in logical order, as determined by each block's bookmark. This makes sense from a simplicity perspective, but blocks in zfs are often scattered randomly across disks, particularly due to zfs's copy-on-write mechanisms. This patch improves performance by splitting scrubs and resilvers into a metadata scanning phase and an IO issuing phase. The metadata scan reads through the structure of the pool and gathers an in-memory queue of I/Os, sorted by size and offset on disk. The issuing phase will then issue the scrub I/Os as sequentially as possible, greatly improving performance. This patch also updates and cleans up some of the scan code which has not been updated in several years.

If we end up calling `zil_free_lwb`, then that LWB may be freed and can result in a use-after-free situation where the stale lwb pointer stored in the `zil_commit_waiter_t` structure of the thread waiting on the waiter's CV is used. A similar situation can occur if an lwb is issued to disk, and thus in the `LWB_STATE_ISSUED` state, and `zil_free_lwb` is called while the disk is servicing that lwb. In this situation, the lwb will be freed by `zil_free_lwb`, which will result in a use-after-free situation when the lwb's zio completes, and `zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done` is called. This race condition is prevented in `zil_close` by calling `zil_commit` before `zil_free_lwb` is called, which will ensure all outstanding (i.e. all lwb's in the `LWB_STATE_OPEN` and/or `LWB_STATE_ISSUED` states) reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state before the lwb's are freed (`zil_commit` will not return untill all the lwb's are `LWB_STATE_DONE`). Further, this race condition is prevented in `zil_sync` by only calling `zil_free_lwb` for lwb's that do not have their `lwb_buf` pointer set. All lwb's not in the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state will have a non-null value for this pointer; the pointer is only cleared in `zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done`, at which point the lwb's state will be changed to `LWB_STATE_DONE`. This race *is* present in `zil_suspend`, leading to this bug. At first glance, it would appear as though this would not be true because `zil_suspend` will call `zil_commit`, just like `zil_close`, but the problem is that `zil_suspend` will set the zilog's `zl_suspend` field prior to calling `zil_commit`. Further, in `zil_commit`, if `zl_suspend` is set, `zil_commit` will take a special branch of logic and use `txg_wait_synced` instead of performing the normal `zil_commit` logic. This call to `txg_wait_synced` might be good enough for the data to reach disk safely before it returns, but it does not ensure that all outstanding lwb's reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state before it returns. This is because, if there's an lwb "stuck" in `zil_commit_waiter_timeout`, waiting for it's lwb to timeout, it will maintain a non-null value for it's `lwb_buf` field and thus `zil_sync` will not free that lwb. Thus, even though the lwb's data is already on disk, the lwb will be left lingering, waiting on the CV, and will eventually timeout and be issued to disk even though the write is unnecessary. So, after `zil_commit` is called from `zil_suspend`, we incorrectly assume that there are not outstanding lwb's, and proceed to free all lwb's found on the zilog's lwb list. As a result, we free the lwb that will later be used `zil_commit_waiter_timeout`. SOLUTION ======== The solution to this, is to ensure all outstanding lwb's complete before calling `zil_free_lwb` via `zil_destroy` in `zil_suspend`. This patch accomplishes this goal by forcing the normal `zil_commit` logic when called from `zil_sync`. Now, `zil_suspend` will call `zil_commit_impl` which will always use the normal logic of waiting/issuing lwb's to disk before it returns. As a result, any lwb's outstanding when `zil_commit_impl` is called will be guaranteed to reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state by the time it returns. Further, no new lwb's will be created via `zil_commit` since the zilog's `zl_suspend` flag will be set. This will force all new callers of `zil_commit` to use `txg_wait_synced` instead of creating and issuing new lwb's. Thus, all lwb's left on the zilog's lwb list when `zil_destroy` is called will be in the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state, and we'll avoid this race condition.

OpenZFS 9486 - reduce memory used by device removal on fragmented pools Device removal allocates a new location for each allocated segment on the disk that's being removed. Each allocation results in one entry in the mapping table, which maps from old location + length to new location. When a fragmented disk is removed, this can result in a large number of mapping entries, and thus a large amount of memory consumed by the mapping table. In the worst real-world cases, we've seen around 1GB of RAM per 1TB of storage removed. We can improve on this situation by allocating larger segments, which span across both allocated and free regions of the device being removed. By including free regions in the allocation (and thus mapping), we reduce the number of mapping entries. For example, if we have a 4K allocation followed by 1K free and then 4K allocated, we would allocate 4+1+4 = 9KB, and then move the entire region (including allocated and free parts). In this case we used one mapping where previously we would have used two, but often the ratio is much higher (up to 20:1 in real-world use). We then need to mark the regions that were free on the removing device as free in the new locations, and also obsolete in the mapping entry. This method preserves the fragmentation of the removing device, rather than consolidating its allocated space into a small number of chunks where possible. But it results in drastic reduction of memory used by the mapping table - around 20x in the most-fragmented cases. In the most fragmented real-world cases, this reduces memory used by the mapping from ~1GB to ~50MB of RAM per 1TB of storage removed. Less fragmented cases will typically also see around 50-100MB of RAM per 1TB of storage.

Update deadman operation to better align with upstream OpenZFS The deadman in ZoL didn't behave quite as it did in upstream OpenZFS. In addition to the 2 purposes for which OpenZFS used the zfs_deadman_synctime_ms parameter, ZoL also used it to determine how frequently the deadman would fire once it has been triggered.

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.

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.

Reintroduce zfs_remove() synchronous deletes Reintroduce a slightly adapted version of the Illumos logic for synchronous unlinks. The basic idea here is that only files smaller than zfs_delete_blocks (20480) blocks should be deleted synchronously. Unlinking larger files should be handled asynchronously to minimize impact to the caller. To accomplish this iput() which is responsible for calling zfs_znode_delete() on Linux is only called in the delete_now path. Otherwise zfs_async_iput() is used which allows the last reference to be dropped by a taskq thread effectively making the removal asynchronous. Porting notes: - Add zfs_delete_blocks module option for performance analysis. The default value is DMU_MAX_DELETEBLKCNT which is the same as upstream. Reducing this value means that smaller files will be unlinked asynchronously like large files. - All occurrences of zfsvfs changes to zsb.

Note that the write throttle is only applied once the i/o scheduler is issuing the maximum number of outstanding async writes.

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.

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.

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).

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.

OpenZFS 7614, 9064 - zfs device evacuation/removal OpenZFS 7614 - zfs device evacuation/removal OpenZFS 9064 - remove_mirror should wait for device removal to complete This project allows top-level vdevs to be removed from the storage pool with "zpool remove", reducing the total amount of storage in the pool. This operation copies all allocated regions of the device to be removed onto other devices, recording the mapping from old to new location. After the removal is complete, read and free operations to the removed (now "indirect") vdev must be remapped and performed at the new location on disk. The indirect mapping table is kept in memory whenever the pool is loaded, so there is minimal performance overhead when doing operations on the indirect vdev. The size of the in-memory mapping table will be reduced when its entries become "obsolete" because they are no longer used by any block pointers in the pool. An entry becomes obsolete when all the blocks that use it are freed. An entry can also become obsolete when all the snapshots that reference it are deleted, and the block pointers that reference it have been "remapped" in all filesystems/zvols (and clones). Whenever an indirect block is written, all the block pointers in it will be "remapped" to their new (concrete) locations if possible. This process can be accelerated by using the "zfs remap" command to proactively rewrite all indirect blocks that reference indirect (removed) vdevs. Note that when a device is removed, we do not verify the checksum of the data that is copied. This makes the process much faster, but if it were used on redundant vdevs (i.e. mirror or raidz vdevs), it would be possible to copy the wrong data, when we have the correct data on e.g. the other side of the mirror. At the moment, only mirrors and simple top-level vdevs can be removed and no removal is allowed if any of the top-level vdevs are raidz. Porting Notes: * Avoid zero-sized kmem_alloc() in vdev_compact_children(). The device evacuation code adds a dependency that vdev_compact_children() be able to properly empty the vdev_child array by setting it to NULL and zeroing vdev_children. Under Linux, kmem_alloc() and related functions return a sentinel pointer rather than NULL for zero-sized allocations. * Remove comment regarding "mpt" driver where zfs_remove_max_segment is initialized to SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE. Change zfs_condense_indirect_commit_entry_delay_ticks to zfs_condense_indirect_commit_entry_delay_ms for consistency with most other tunables in which delays are specified in ms. * ZTS changes: Use set_tunable rather than mdb Use zpool sync as appropriate Use sync_pool instead of sync Kill jobs during test_removal_with_operation to allow unmount/export Don't add non-disk names such as "mirror" or "raidz" to $DISKS Use $TEST_BASE_DIR instead of /tmp Increase HZ from 100 to 1000 which is more common on Linux removal_multiple_indirection.ksh Reduce iterations in order to not time out on the code coverage builders. removal_resume_export: Functionally, the test case is correct but there exists a race where the kernel thread hasn't been fully started yet and is not visible. Wait for up to 1 second for the removal thread to be started before giving up on it. Also, increase the amount of data copied in order that the removal not finish before the export has a chance to fail. * MMP compatibility, the concept of concrete versus non-concrete devices has slightly changed the semantics of vdev_writeable(). Update mmp_random_leaf_impl() accordingly. * Updated dbuf_remap() to handle the org.zfsonlinux:large_dnode pool feature which is not supported by OpenZFS. * Added support for new vdev removal tracepoints. * Test cases removal_with_zdb and removal_condense_export have been intentionally disabled. When run manually they pass as intended, but when running in the automated test environment they produce unreliable results on the latest Fedora release. They may work better once the upstream pool import refectoring is merged into ZoL at which point they will be re-enabled.

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.

Maximum asynchronous read I/Os active to each device.
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.

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.

Maximum asynchronous write I/Os active to each device.
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.

When it is rotational media the drive will often travel past the next sector to be written before receiving a write command from ZFS, significantly delaying the write of the next sector.

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.

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().

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maximum synchronous write I/Os active to each device.
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.

Add TRIM support UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other SAN-like storage back-ends. By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can often more efficiently manage itself. This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize` feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the pool. The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate() code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per- vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for a consistent user experience. The core difference is that instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands for those extents. The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq. This new type makes is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c. These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs. This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline, one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size limit since they contain no data. In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim' property. It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the manual TRIM. However, instead of relying on the extents in a metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept per metaslab. When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree. The ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs. Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`. This may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time was allowed to aggregate them. An automatic TRIM and a manual `zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

Add line info and SET_ERROR() to ZFS debug log Redefine the SET_ERROR macro in terms of __dprintf() so the error return codes get logged as both tracepoint events (if tracepoints are enabled) and as ZFS debug log entries. This also allows us to use the same definition of SET_ERROR() in kernel and user space. Define a new debug flag ZFS_DEBUG_SET_ERROR=512 that may be bitwise or'd into zfs_flags. Setting this flag enables both dprintf() and SET_ERROR() messages in the debug log. That is, setting ZFS_DEBUG_SET_ERROR and ZFS_DEBUG_DPRINTF|ZFS_DEBUG_SET_ERROR are equivalent (this was done for sake of simplicity). Leaving ZFS_DEBUG_SET_ERROR unset suppresses the SET_ERROR() messages which helps avoid cluttering up the logs. To enable SET_ERROR() logging, run: echo 1 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_dbgmsg_enable echo 512 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_flags Remove the zfs_set_error_class tracepoints event class since SET_ERROR() now uses __dprintf(). This sacrifices a bit of granularity when selecting individual tracepoint events to enable but it makes the code simpler. Include file, function, and line number information in debug log entries. The information is now added to the message buffer in __dprintf() and as a result the zfs_dprintf_class tracepoints event class was changed from a 4 parameter interface to a single parameter.

Add TRIM support UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other SAN-like storage back-ends. By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can often more efficiently manage itself. This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize` feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the pool. The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate() code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per- vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for a consistent user experience. The core difference is that instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands for those extents. The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq. This new type makes is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c. These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs. This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline, one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size limit since they contain no data. In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim' property. It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the manual TRIM. However, instead of relying on the extents in a metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept per metaslab. When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree. The ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs. Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`. This may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time was allowed to aggregate them. An automatic TRIM and a manual `zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

If destroy encounters an EIO while reading metadata (e.g. indirect
blocks), space referenced by the missing metadata can not be freed.
Normally this causes the background destroy to become "stalled", as
it is unable to make forward progress. While in this stalled state,
all remaining space to free from the error-encountering filesystem is
"temporarily leaked". Set this flag to cause it to ignore the EIO,
permanently leak the space from indirect blocks that can not be read,
and continue to free everything else that it can.
The default, "stalling" behavior is useful if the storage partially
fails (i.e. some but not all i/os fail), and then later recovers. In
this case, we will be able to continue pool operations while it is
partially failed, and when it recovers, we can continue to free the
space, with no leaks. However, note that this case is actually
fairly rare.
Typically pools either (a) fail completely (but perhaps temporarily,
e.g. a top-level vdev going offline), or (b) have localized,
permanent errors (e.g. disk returns the wrong data due to bit flip or
firmware bug). In case (a), this setting does not matter because the
pool will be suspended and the sync thread will not be able to make
forward progress regardless. In case (b), because the error is
permanent, the best we can do is leak the minimum amount of space,
which is what setting this flag will do. Therefore, it is reasonable
for this flag to normally be set, but we chose the more conservative
approach of not setting it, so that there is no possibility of
leaking space in the "partial temporary" failure case.

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.

Volumes, like filesystems, are limited by the zfs_max_recordsize=1M module option. * By default the maximum record size is limited to 1M by the module option zfs_max_recordsize. This value may be safely increased up to 16M which is the largest block size supported by the on-disk format. At the moment, 1M blocks clearly offer a significant performance improvement but the benefits of going beyond this for the majority of workloads are less clear. * The illumos version of this patch increased DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 32M. This was determined not to be large enough when using 16M blocks because the zfs_make_xattrdir() function will fail (EFBIG) when assigning a TX. This was immediately observed under Linux because all newly created files must have a security xattr created and that was failing. Therefore, we've set DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 64M. * On 32-bit platforms a hard limit of 1M is set for blocks due to the limited virtual address space. We should be able to relax this one the ABD patches are merged. Ported-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #354

COWing a giant block to modify one byte. Additionally, very large blocks
can have an impact on i/o latency, and also potentially on the memory
allocator. Therefore, we do not allow the recordsize to be set larger than
zfs_max_recordsize (default 1MB). Larger blocks can be created by changing
this tunable, and pools with larger blocks can always be imported and used,
regardless of this setting.

Reduced IOPS when all vdevs are in the zfs_mg_fragmentation_threshold Historically while doing performance testing we've noticed that IOPS can be significantly reduced when all vdevs in the pool are hitting the zfs_mg_fragmentation_threshold percentage. Specifically in a hypothetical pool with two vdevs, what can happen is the following: Vdev A would go above that threshold and only vdev B would be used. Then vdev B would pass that threshold but vdev A would go below it (we've been freeing from A to allocate to B). The allocations would go back and forth utilizing one vdev at a time with IOPS taking a hit. Empirically, we've seen that our vdev selection for allocations is good enough that fragmentation increases uniformly across all vdevs the majority of the time. Thus we set the threshold percentage high enough to avoid hitting the speed bump on pools that are being pushed to the edge. We effectively disable its effect in the majority of the cases but we don't remove (at least for now) just in case we hit any weird behavior in the future.

MMP interval and fail_intervals in uberblock When Multihost is enabled, and a pool is imported, uberblock writes include ub_mmp_delay to allow an importing node to calculate the duration of an activity test. This value, is not enough information. If zfs_multihost_fail_intervals > 0 on the node with the pool imported, the safe minimum duration of the activity test is well defined, but does not depend on ub_mmp_delay: zfs_multihost_fail_intervals * zfs_multihost_interval and if zfs_multihost_fail_intervals == 0 on that node, there is no such well defined safe duration, but the importing host cannot tell whether mmp_delay is high due to I/O delays, or due to a very large zfs_multihost_interval setting on the host which last imported the pool. As a result, it may use a far longer period for the activity test than is necessary. This patch renames ub_mmp_sequence to ub_mmp_config and uses it to record the zfs_multihost_interval and zfs_multihost_fail_intervals values, as well as the mmp sequence. This allows a shorter activity test duration to be calculated by the importing host in most situations. These values are also added to the multihost_history kstat records. It calculates the activity test duration differently depending on whether the new fields are present or not; for importing pools with only ub_mmp_delay, it uses (zfs_multihost_interval + ub_mmp_delay) * zfs_multihost_import_intervals Which results in an activity test duration less sensitive to the leaf count. In addition, it makes a few other improvements: * It updates the "sequence" part of ub_mmp_config when MMP writes in between syncs occur. This allows an importing host to detect MMP on the remote host sooner, when the pool is idle, as it is not limited to the granularity of ub_timestamp (1 second). * It issues writes immediately when zfs_multihost_interval is changed so remote hosts see the updated value as soon as possible. * It fixes a bug where setting zfs_multihost_fail_intervals = 1 results in immediate pool suspension. * Update tests to verify activity check duration is based on recorded tunable values, not tunable values on importing host. * Update tests to verify the expected number of uberblocks have valid MMP fields - fail_intervals, mmp_interval, mmp_seq (sequence number), that sequence number is incrementing, and that uberblock values match tunable settings.

milliseconds. On average a multihost write will be issued for each leaf vdev
every \fBzfs_multihost_interval\fR milliseconds. In practice, the observed

Used to control the duration of the activity test on import. Smaller values of
\fBzfs_multihost_import_intervals\fR will reduce the import time but increase
the risk of failing to detect an active pool. The total activity check time is
MMP interval and fail_intervals in uberblock When Multihost is enabled, and a pool is imported, uberblock writes include ub_mmp_delay to allow an importing node to calculate the duration of an activity test. This value, is not enough information. If zfs_multihost_fail_intervals > 0 on the node with the pool imported, the safe minimum duration of the activity test is well defined, but does not depend on ub_mmp_delay: zfs_multihost_fail_intervals * zfs_multihost_interval and if zfs_multihost_fail_intervals == 0 on that node, there is no such well defined safe duration, but the importing host cannot tell whether mmp_delay is high due to I/O delays, or due to a very large zfs_multihost_interval setting on the host which last imported the pool. As a result, it may use a far longer period for the activity test than is necessary. This patch renames ub_mmp_sequence to ub_mmp_config and uses it to record the zfs_multihost_interval and zfs_multihost_fail_intervals values, as well as the mmp sequence. This allows a shorter activity test duration to be calculated by the importing host in most situations. These values are also added to the multihost_history kstat records.

Increase default zfs_multihost_fail_intervals and import_intervals By default, when multihost is enabled for a pool, the pool is suspended if (zfs_multihost_fail_intervals*zfs_multihost_interval) ms pass without a successful MMP write. This is the recommended configuration. The default value for zfs_multihost_fail_intervals has been 5, and the default value for zfs_multihost_interval has been 1000, so pool suspension occurred at 5 seconds. There have been multiple cases where a single misbehaving device in a pool triggered a SCSI reset, and all I/O paused for 5-6 seconds. This in turn caused MMP to suspend the pool. In the cases observed, the rest of the devices were healthy and the pool was otherwise correctly performing I/O. The reset was handled correctly by ZFS, and by suspending the pool MMP made replacing the device more difficult as well as forcing the host to be rebooted. Increase the default value of zfs_multihost_fail_intervals to 10, so that MMP tolerates up to 10 seconds of failed MMP writes before suspending the pool. Increase the default value of zfs_multihost_import_intervals to 20, to maintain the 2:1 safety factor. This results in a force import taking approximately 20 seconds when MMP is enabled, with default values.

MMP interval and fail_intervals in uberblock When Multihost is enabled, and a pool is imported, uberblock writes include ub_mmp_delay to allow an importing node to calculate the duration of an activity test. This value, is not enough information. If zfs_multihost_fail_intervals > 0 on the node with the pool imported, the safe minimum duration of the activity test is well defined, but does not depend on ub_mmp_delay: zfs_multihost_fail_intervals * zfs_multihost_interval and if zfs_multihost_fail_intervals == 0 on that node, there is no such well defined safe duration, but the importing host cannot tell whether mmp_delay is high due to I/O delays, or due to a very large zfs_multihost_interval setting on the host which last imported the pool. As a result, it may use a far longer period for the activity test than is necessary. This patch renames ub_mmp_sequence to ub_mmp_config and uses it to record the zfs_multihost_interval and zfs_multihost_fail_intervals values, as well as the mmp sequence. This allows a shorter activity test duration to be calculated by the importing host in most situations. These values are also added to the multihost_history kstat records. It calculates the activity test duration differently depending on whether the new fields are present or not; for importing pools with only ub_mmp_delay, it uses (zfs_multihost_interval + ub_mmp_delay) * zfs_multihost_import_intervals Which results in an activity test duration less sensitive to the leaf count. In addition, it makes a few other improvements: * It updates the "sequence" part of ub_mmp_config when MMP writes in between syncs occur. This allows an importing host to detect MMP on the remote host sooner, when the pool is idle, as it is not limited to the granularity of ub_timestamp (1 second). * It issues writes immediately when zfs_multihost_interval is changed so remote hosts see the updated value as soon as possible. * It fixes a bug where setting zfs_multihost_fail_intervals = 1 results in immediate pool suspension. * Update tests to verify activity check duration is based on recorded tunable values, not tunable values on importing host. * Update tests to verify the expected number of uberblocks have valid MMP fields - fail_intervals, mmp_interval, mmp_seq (sequence number), that sequence number is incrementing, and that uberblock values match tunable settings.

When \fBzfs_multihost_fail_intervals > 0\fR, the pool will be suspended if
\fBzfs_multihost_fail_intervals * zfs_multihost_interval\fR milliseconds pass
without a successful mmp write. This guarantees the activity test will see
mmp writes if the pool is imported. A value of 1 is ignored and treated as
if it was set to 2. This is necessary to prevent the pool from being suspended
due to normal, small I/O latency variations.
Multi-modifier protection (MMP) Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP. When enabled a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported.

Increase default zfs_multihost_fail_intervals and import_intervals By default, when multihost is enabled for a pool, the pool is suspended if (zfs_multihost_fail_intervals*zfs_multihost_interval) ms pass without a successful MMP write. This is the recommended configuration. The default value for zfs_multihost_fail_intervals has been 5, and the default value for zfs_multihost_interval has been 1000, so pool suspension occurred at 5 seconds. There have been multiple cases where a single misbehaving device in a pool triggered a SCSI reset, and all I/O paused for 5-6 seconds. This in turn caused MMP to suspend the pool. In the cases observed, the rest of the devices were healthy and the pool was otherwise correctly performing I/O. The reset was handled correctly by ZFS, and by suspending the pool MMP made replacing the device more difficult as well as forcing the host to be rebooted. Increase the default value of zfs_multihost_fail_intervals to 10, so that MMP tolerates up to 10 seconds of failed MMP writes before suspending the pool. Increase the default value of zfs_multihost_import_intervals to 20, to maintain the 2:1 safety factor. This results in a force import taking approximately 20 seconds when MMP is enabled, with default values.

prescient prefetch never issues i/os that end up not being needed, so it

Multi-modifier protection (MMP) Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP. When enabled a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported. These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated timestamp. Property defaults to off. During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp) repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock. Include the results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport. These results are reported to user in "zpool import". Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter zfs_multihost_interval. The period is specified in milliseconds. The activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially. Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier Protection (MMP) updates. Include the last synced txg number, the timestamp, the delay since the last MMP update, the VDEV GUID, the VDEV label that received the last MMP update, and the VDEV path.

OpenZFS 9290 - device removal reduces redundancy of mirrors Mirrors are supposed to provide redundancy in the face of whole-disk failure and silent damage (e.g. some data on disk is not right, but ZFS hasn't detected the whole device as being broken). However, the current device removal implementation bypasses some of the mirror's redundancy. Note that in no case is incorrect data returned, but we might get a checksum error when we should have been able to find the right data. There are two underlying problems: 1. When we remove a mirror device, we only read one side of the mirror. Since we can't verify the checksum, this side may be silently bad, but the good data is on the other side of the mirror (which we didn't read). This can cause the removal to "bake in" the busted data – all copies of the data in the new location are the same, busted version, while we left the good version behind. The fix for this is to read and copy both sides of the mirror. If the old and new vdevs are mirrors, we will read both sides of the old mirror, and write each copy to the corresponding side of the new mirror. (If the old and new vdevs have a different number of children, we will do this as best as possible.) Even though we aren't verifying checksums, this ensures that as long as there's a good copy of the data, we'll have a good copy after the removal, even if there's silent damage to one side of the mirror. If we're removing a mirror that has some silent damage, we'll have exactly the same damage in the new location (assuming that the new location is also a mirror). 2. When we read from an indirect vdev that points to a mirror vdev, we only consider one copy of the data. This can lead to reduced effective redundancy, because we might read a bad copy of the data from one side of the mirror, and not retry the other, good side of the mirror. Note that the problem is not with the removal process, but rather after the removal has completed (having copied correct data to both sides of the mirror), if one side of the new mirror is silently damaged, we encounter the problem when reading the relocated data via the indirect vdev. Also note that the problem doesn't occur when ZFS knows that one side of the mirror is bad, e.g. when a disk entirely fails or is offlined. The impact is that reads (from indirect vdevs that point to mirrors) may return a checksum error even though the good data exists on one side of the mirror, and scrub doesn't repair all data on the mirror (if some of it is pointed to via an indirect vdev). The fix for this is complicated by "split blocks" - one logical block may be split into two (or more) pieces with each piece moved to a different new location. In this case we need to read all versions of each split (one from each side of the mirror), and figure out which combination of versions results in the correct checksum, and then repair the incorrect versions. This ensures that we supply the same redundancy whether you use device removal or not. For example, if a mirror has small silent errors on all of its children, we can still reconstruct the correct data, as long as those errors are at sufficiently-separated offsets (specifically, separated by the largest block size - default of 128KB, but up to 16MB). Porting notes: * A new indirect vdev check was moved from dsl_scan_needs_resilver_cb() to dsl_scan_needs_resilver(), which was added to ZoL as part of the sequential scrub work. * Passed NULL for zfs_ereport_post_checksum()'s zbookmark_phys_t parameter. The extra parameter is unique to ZoL. * When posting indirect checksum errors the ABD can be passed directly, zfs_ereport_post_checksum() is not yet ABD-aware in OpenZFS.

ztest: split block reconstruction Increase the default allowed number of reconstruction attempts. There's not an exact right number for this setting. It needs to be set large enough to cover any realistic failure scenarios and small enough to avoid stalling the IO pipeline and invoking the dead man detection. The current value of 256 was empirically determined to be too low based on multi-day runs of ztest. The fault injection code would inject more damage than could be reconstructed given the relatively small number of attempts. However, in all observed cases the block could be reconstructed using a slightly higher limit. Based on local testing increasing the default value to 4096 was determined to strike the best balance. Checking all combinations takes less than 10s in the worst case, and has so far eliminated the vast majority of false positives detected by ztest. This delay is roughly on par with how long retries may be performed to a misbehaving HDD and was deemed to be reasonable. Better to err on the side of a brief delay rather than fail to reconstruct the data. Lastly, the -Y flag has been added to zdb to make it easy to try all possible combinations when performing split block reconstruction. For badly damaged blocks with 18 splits, they can be fully enumerated within a few minutes. This has been done to ensure permanent errors are never incorrectly reported when ztest verifies the pool with zdb.

Detect IO errors during device removal * Detect IO errors during device removal While device removal cannot verify the checksums of individual blocks during device removal, it can reasonably detect hard IO errors from the leaf vdevs. Failure to perform this error checking can result in device removal completing successfully, but moving no data which will permanently corrupt the pool. Situation 1: faulted/degraded vdevs In the configuration shown below, the removal of mirror-0 will permanently corrupt the pool. Device removal will preferentially copy data from 'vdev1 -> vdev3' and from 'vdev2 -> vdev4'. Which in this case will result in nothing being copied since one vdev in each of those groups in unavailable. However, device removal will complete successfully since all IO errors are ignored. tank DEGRADED 0 0 0 mirror-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0 /var/tmp/vdev1 FAULTED 0 0 0 external fault /var/tmp/vdev2 ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 /var/tmp/vdev3 ONLINE 0 0 0 /var/tmp/vdev4 FAULTED 0 0 0 external fault This issue is resolved by updating the source child selection logic to exclude unreadable leaf vdevs. Additionally, unwritable destination child vdevs which can never succeed are skipped to prevent generating a large number of write IO errors. Situation 2: individual hard IO errors During removal if an unexpected hard IO error is encountered when either reading or writing the child vdev the entire removal operation is cancelled. While it may be possible to reconstruct the data after removal that cannot be guaranteed. The only strictly safe thing to do is to cancel the removal. As a future improvement we may want to instead suspend the removal process and allow the damaged region to be retried. But that work is left for another time, hard IO errors during the removal process are expected to be exceptionally rare.

We hit it during this test because removal_remap.ksh changes zfs_remove_max_segment to 1KB. When testing on 4KB-sector disks, we hit the bug. This change makes the zfs_remove_max_segment tunable more robust, automatically rounding it up to a multiple of the sector size.

Sequential scrub and resilvers Currently, scrubs and resilvers can take an extremely long time to complete. This is largely due to the fact that zfs scans process pools in logical order, as determined by each block's bookmark. This makes sense from a simplicity perspective, but blocks in zfs are often scattered randomly across disks, particularly due to zfs's copy-on-write mechanisms. This patch improves performance by splitting scrubs and resilvers into a metadata scanning phase and an IO issuing phase. The metadata scan reads through the structure of the pool and gathers an in-memory queue of I/Os, sorted by size and offset on disk.

Fix send/recv lost spill block When receiving a DRR_OBJECT record the receive_object() function needs to determine how to handle a spill block associated with the object. It may need to be removed or kept depending on how the object was modified at the source. This determination is currently accomplished using a heuristic which takes in to account the DRR_OBJECT record and the existing object properties. This is a problem because there isn't quite enough information available to do the right thing under all circumstances. For example, when only the block size changes the spill block is removed when it should be kept. What's needed to resolve this is an additional flag in the DRR_OBJECT which indicates if the object being received references a spill block. The DRR_OBJECT_SPILL flag was added for this purpose. When set then the object references a spill block and it must be kept. Either it is update to date, or it will be replaced by a subsequent DRR_SPILL record. Conversely, if the object being received doesn't reference a spill block then any existing spill block should always be removed. Since previous versions of ZFS do not understand this new flag additional DRR_SPILL records will be inserted in to the stream. This has the advantage of being fully backward compatible. Existing ZFS systems receiving this stream will recreate the spill block if it was incorrectly removed. Updated ZFS versions will correctly ignore the additional spill blocks which can be identified by checking for the DRR_SPILL_UNMODIFIED flag. The small downside to this approach is that is may increase the size of the stream and of the received snapshot on previous versions of ZFS. Additionally, when receiving streams generated by previous unpatched versions of ZFS spill blocks may still be lost.

OpenZFS 9166 - zfs storage pool checkpoint Details about the motivation of this feature and its usage can be found in this blogpost: https://sdimitro.github.io/post/zpool-checkpoint/ A lightning talk of this feature can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPQA8K40jAM Implementation details can be found in big block comment of spa_checkpoint.c Side-changes that are relevant to this commit but not explained elsewhere: * renames members of "struct metaslab trees to be shorter without losing meaning * space_map_{alloc,truncate}() accept a block size as a parameter. The reason is that in the current state all space maps that we allocate through the DMU use a global tunable (space_map_blksz) which defauls to 4KB. This is ok for metaslab space maps in terms of bandwirdth since they are scattered all over the disk. But for other space maps this default is probably not what we want. Examples are device removal's vdev_obsolete_sm or vdev_chedkpoint_sm from this review. Both of these have a 1:1 relationship with each vdev and could benefit from a bigger block size. Porting notes: * The part of dsl_scan_sync() which handles async destroys has been moved into the new dsl_process_async_destroys() function. * Remove "VERIFY(!(flags & FWRITE))" in "kernel.c" so zhack can write to block device backed pools. * ZTS: * Fix get_txg() in zpool_sync_001_pos due to "checkpoint_txg". * Don't use large dd block sizes on /dev/urandom under Linux in checkpoint_capacity. * Adopt Delphix-OS's setting of 4 (spa_asize_inflation = SPA_DVAS_PER_BP + 1) for the checkpoint_capacity test to speed its attempts to fill the pool * Create the base and nested pools with sync=disabled to speed up the "setup" phase. * Clear labels in test pool between checkpoint tests to avoid duplicate pool issues. * The import_rewind_device_replaced test has been marked as "known to fail" for the reasons listed in its DISCLAIMER. * New module parameters: zfs_spa_discard_memory_limit, zfs_remove_max_bytes_pause (not documented - debugging only) vdev_max_ms_count (formerly metaslabs_per_vdev) vdev_min_ms_count Authored by: Serapheim Dimitropoulos <serapheim.dimitro@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: John Kennedy <john.kennedy@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Dan Kimmel <dan.kimmel@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Approved by: Richard Lowe <richlowe@richlowe.net> Ported-by: Tim Chase <tim@chase2k.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Chase <tim@chase2k.com> OpenZFS-issue: https://illumos.org/issues/9166 OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/7159fdb8 Closes #7570

.RE
Add TRIM support UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other SAN-like storage back-ends. By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can often more efficiently manage itself. This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize` feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the pool. The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate() code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per- vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for a consistent user experience. The core difference is that instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands for those extents. The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq. This new type makes is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c. These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs. This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline, one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size limit since they contain no data. In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim' property. It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the manual TRIM. However, instead of relying on the extents in a metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept per metaslab. When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree. The ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs. Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`. This may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time was allowed to aggregate them. An automatic TRIM and a manual `zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

Increasing this value will allow frees to be aggregated for a longer time.
This will result is larger TRIM operations and potentially increased memory

Multi-modifier protection (MMP) Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP. When enabled a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported. These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated timestamp. Property defaults to off. During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp) repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock. Include the results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport. These results are reported to user in "zpool import". Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter zfs_multihost_interval. The period is specified in milliseconds. The activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially. Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier Protection (MMP) updates. Include the last synced txg number, the timestamp, the delay since the last MMP update, the VDEV GUID, the VDEV label that received the last MMP update, and the VDEV path.

Add TRIM support UNMAP/TRIM support is a frequently-requested feature to help prevent performance from degrading on SSDs and on various other SAN-like storage back-ends. By issuing UNMAP/TRIM commands for sectors which are no longer allocated the underlying device can often more efficiently manage itself. This TRIM implementation is modeled on the `zpool initialize` feature which writes a pattern to all unallocated space in the pool. The new `zpool trim` command uses the same vdev_xlate() code to calculate what sectors are unallocated, the same per- vdev TRIM thread model and locking, and the same basic CLI for a consistent user experience. The core difference is that instead of writing a pattern it will issue UNMAP/TRIM commands for those extents. The zio pipeline was updated to accommodate this by adding a new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM type and associated spa taskq. This new type makes is straight forward to add the platform specific TRIM/UNMAP calls to vdev_disk.c and vdev_file.c. These new ZIO_TYPE_TRIM zios are handled largely the same way as ZIO_TYPE_READs or ZIO_TYPE_WRITEs. This makes it possible to largely avoid changing the pipieline, one exception is that TRIM zio's may exceed the 16M block size limit since they contain no data. In addition to the manual `zpool trim` command, a background automatic TRIM was added and is controlled by the 'autotrim' property. It relies on the exact same infrastructure as the manual TRIM. However, instead of relying on the extents in a metaslab's ms_allocatable range tree, a ms_trim tree is kept per metaslab. When 'autotrim=on', ranges added back to the ms_allocatable tree are also added to the ms_free tree. The ms_free tree is then periodically consumed by an autotrim thread which systematically walks a top level vdev's metaslabs. Since the automatic TRIM will skip ranges it considers too small there is value in occasionally running a full `zpool trim`. This may occur when the freed blocks are small and not enough time was allowed to aggregate them. An automatic TRIM and a manual `zpool trim` may be run concurrently, in which case the automatic TRIM will yield to the manual TRIM.

Add separate aggregation limit for non-rotating media Before sequential scrub patches ZFS never aggregated I/Os above 128KB. Sequential scrub bumped that to 1MB, supposedly to reduce number of head seeks for spinning disks. But for SSDs it makes little to no sense, especially on FreeBSD, where due to MAXPHYS limitation device will likely still see bunch of 128KB I/Os instead of one large. Having more strict aggregation limit for SSDs allows to avoid allocation of large memory buffer and copy to/from it, that is a serious problem when throughput reaches gigabytes per second.

FreeBSD r256956: Improve ZFS N-way mirror read performance by using load and locality information. The existing algorithm selects a preferred leaf vdev based on offset of the zio request modulo the number of members in the mirror. It assumes the devices are of equal performance and that spreading the requests randomly over both drives will be sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the leaf vdevs being under utilized. The new algorithm takes into the following additional factors: * Load of the vdevs (number outstanding I/O requests) * The locality of last queued I/O vs the new I/O request. Within the locality calculation additional knowledge about the underlying vdev is considered such as; is the device backing the vdev a rotating media device. This results in performance increases across the board as well as significant increases for predominantly streaming loads and for configurations which don't have evenly performing devices.

avx512f - implementation using AVX512F instruction set (64bit x86 only)
avx512bw - implementation using AVX512F & AVX512BW instruction sets (64bit x86 only)
Add parity generation/rebuild using 128-bits NEON for Aarch64 This re-use the framework established for SSE2, SSSE3 and AVX2. However, GCC is using FP registers on Aarch64, so unlike SSE/AVX2 we can't rely on the registers being left alone between ASM statements. So instead, the NEON code uses C variables and GCC extended ASM syntax. Note that since the kernel explicitly disable vector registers, they have to be locally re-enabled explicitly. As we use the variable's number to define the symbolic name, and GCC won't allow duplicate symbolic names, numbers have to be unique. Even when the code is not going to be used (e.g. the case for 4 registers when using the macro with only 2). Only the actually used variables should be declared, otherwise the build will fails in debug mode. This requires the replacement of the XOR(X,X) syntax by a new ZERO(X) macro, which does the same thing but without repeating the argument. And perhaps someday there will be a machine where there is a more efficient way to zero a register than XOR with itself. This affects scalar, SSE2, SSSE3 and AVX2 as they need the new macro. It's possible to write faster implementations (different scheduling, different unrolling, interleaving NEON and scalar, ...) for various cores, but this one has the advantage of fitting in the current state of the code, and thus is likely easier to review/check/merge. The only difference between aarch64-neon and aarch64-neonx2 is that aarch64-neonx2 unroll some functions some more.

Here's an example panic due to this bug: > ::status debugging crash dump vmcore.0 (64-bit) from ip-10-110-205-40 operating system: 5.11 dlpx-5.2.2.0_2017-12-04-17-28-32b6ba51fb (i86pc) image uuid: 4af0edfb-e58e-6ed8-cafc-d3e9167c7513 panic message: BAD TRAP: type=e (#pf Page fault) rp=ffffff0010555970 addr=60 occurred in module "zfs" due to a NULL pointer dereference dump content: kernel pages only > $c zio_shrink+0x12() zil_lwb_write_issue+0x30d(ffffff03dcd15cc0, ffffff03e0730e20) zil_commit_waiter_timeout+0xa2(ffffff03dcd15cc0, ffffff03d97ffcf8) zil_commit_waiter+0xf3(ffffff03dcd15cc0, ffffff03d97ffcf8) zil_commit+0x80(ffffff03dcd15cc0, 9a9) zfs_write+0xc34(ffffff03dc38b140, ffffff0010555e60, 40, ffffff03e00fb758, 0) fop_write+0x5b(ffffff03dc38b140, ffffff0010555e60, 40, ffffff03e00fb758, 0) write+0x250(42, fffffd7ff4832000, 2000) sys_syscall+0x177() If there's an outstanding lwb that's in `zil_commit_waiter_timeout` waiting to timeout, waiting on it's waiter's CV, we must be sure not to call `zil_free_lwb`. If we end up calling `zil_free_lwb`, then that LWB may be freed and can result in a use-after-free situation where the stale lwb pointer stored in the `zil_commit_waiter_t` structure of the thread waiting on the waiter's CV is used. A similar situation can occur if an lwb is issued to disk, and thus in the `LWB_STATE_ISSUED` state, and `zil_free_lwb` is called while the disk is servicing that lwb. In this situation, the lwb will be freed by `zil_free_lwb`, which will result in a use-after-free situation when the lwb's zio completes, and `zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done` is called. This race condition is prevented in `zil_close` by calling `zil_commit` before `zil_free_lwb` is called, which will ensure all outstanding (i.e. all lwb's in the `LWB_STATE_OPEN` and/or `LWB_STATE_ISSUED` states) reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state before the lwb's are freed (`zil_commit` will not return untill all the lwb's are `LWB_STATE_DONE`). Further, this race condition is prevented in `zil_sync` by only calling `zil_free_lwb` for lwb's that do not have their `lwb_buf` pointer set. All lwb's not in the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state will have a non-null value for this pointer; the pointer is only cleared in `zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done`, at which point the lwb's state will be changed to `LWB_STATE_DONE`. This race *is* present in `zil_suspend`, leading to this bug. At first glance, it would appear as though this would not be true because `zil_suspend` will call `zil_commit`, just like `zil_close`, but the problem is that `zil_suspend` will set the zilog's `zl_suspend` field prior to calling `zil_commit`. Further, in `zil_commit`, if `zl_suspend` is set, `zil_commit` will take a special branch of logic and use `txg_wait_synced` instead of performing the normal `zil_commit` logic. This call to `txg_wait_synced` might be good enough for the data to reach disk safely before it returns, but it does not ensure that all outstanding lwb's reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state before it returns. This is because, if there's an lwb "stuck" in `zil_commit_waiter_timeout`, waiting for it's lwb to timeout, it will maintain a non-null value for it's `lwb_buf` field and thus `zil_sync` will not free that lwb. Thus, even though the lwb's data is already on disk, the lwb will be left lingering, waiting on the CV, and will eventually timeout and be issued to disk even though the write is unnecessary. So, after `zil_commit` is called from `zil_suspend`, we incorrectly assume that there are not outstanding lwb's, and proceed to free all lwb's found on the zilog's lwb list. As a result, we free the lwb that will later be used `zil_commit_waiter_timeout`. SOLUTION ======== The solution to this, is to ensure all outstanding lwb's complete before calling `zil_free_lwb` via `zil_destroy` in `zil_suspend`. This patch accomplishes this goal by forcing the normal `zil_commit` logic when called from `zil_sync`. Now, `zil_suspend` will call `zil_commit_impl` which will always use the normal logic of waiting/issuing lwb's to disk before it returns. As a result, any lwb's outstanding when `zil_commit_impl` is called will be guaranteed to reach the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state by the time it returns. Further, no new lwb's will be created via `zil_commit` since the zilog's `zl_suspend` flag will be set. This will force all new callers of `zil_commit` to use `txg_wait_synced` instead of creating and issuing new lwb's. Thus, all lwb's left on the zilog's lwb list when `zil_destroy` is called will be in the `LWB_STATE_DONE` state, and we'll avoid this race condition.

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.

.SH ZFS I/O SCHEDULER
ZFS issues I/O operations to leaf vdevs to satisfy and complete I/Os.
The I/O scheduler determines when and in what order those operations are
issued. The I/O scheduler divides operations into five I/O classes
prioritized in the following order: sync read, sync write, async read,
async write, and scrub/resilver. Each queue defines the minimum and
maximum number of concurrent operations that may be issued to the
device. In addition, the device has an aggregate maximum,
\fBzfs_vdev_max_active\fR. Note that the sum of the per-queue minimums
must not exceed the aggregate maximum. If the sum of the per-queue
maximums exceeds the aggregate maximum, then the number of active I/Os
may reach \fBzfs_vdev_max_active\fR, in which case no further I/Os will
be issued regardless of whether all per-queue minimums have been met.
.sp
For many physical devices, throughput increases with the number of
concurrent operations, but latency typically suffers. Further, physical
devices typically have a limit at which more concurrent operations have no
effect on throughput or can actually cause it to decrease.
.sp
The scheduler selects the next operation to issue by first looking for an
I/O class whose minimum has not been satisfied. Once all are satisfied and
the aggregate maximum has not been hit, the scheduler looks for classes
whose maximum has not been satisfied. Iteration through the I/O classes is
done in the order specified above. No further operations are issued if the
aggregate maximum number of concurrent operations has been hit or if there
are no operations queued for an I/O class that has not hit its maximum.
Every time an I/O is queued or an operation completes, the I/O scheduler
looks for new operations to issue.
.sp
In general, smaller max_active's will lead to lower latency of synchronous
operations. Larger max_active's may lead to higher overall throughput,
depending on underlying storage.
.sp
The ratio of the queues' max_actives determines the balance of performance
between reads, writes, and scrubs. E.g., increasing
\fBzfs_vdev_scrub_max_active\fR will cause the scrub or resilver to complete
more quickly, but reads and writes to have higher latency and lower throughput.
.sp
All I/O classes have a fixed maximum number of outstanding operations
except for the async write class. Asynchronous writes represent the data
that is committed to stable storage during the syncing stage for
transaction groups. Transaction groups enter the syncing state
periodically so the number of queued async writes will quickly burst up
and then bleed down to zero. Rather than servicing them as quickly as
possible, the I/O scheduler changes the maximum number of active async
write I/Os according to the amount of dirty data in the pool. Since
both throughput and latency typically increase with the number of
concurrent operations issued to physical devices, reducing the
burstiness in the number of concurrent operations also stabilizes the
response time of operations from other -- and in particular synchronous
-- queues. In broad strokes, the I/O scheduler will issue more
concurrent operations from the async write queue as there's more dirty
data in the pool.
.sp
Async Writes
.sp
The number of concurrent operations issued for the async write I/O class
follows a piece-wise linear function defined by a few adjustable points.
.nf
| o---------| <-- zfs_vdev_async_write_max_active
^ | /^ |
| | / | |
active | / | |
I/O | / | |
count | / | |
| / | |

| |
| `-- zfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent
`--------- zfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent
.fi
Until the amount of dirty data exceeds a minimum percentage of the dirty
data allowed in the pool, the I/O scheduler will limit the number of
concurrent operations to the minimum. As that threshold is crossed, the
number of concurrent operations issued increases linearly to the maximum at
the specified maximum percentage of the dirty data allowed in the pool.
.sp
Ideally, the amount of dirty data on a busy pool will stay in the sloped
part of the function between \fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_min_dirty_percent\fR
and \fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent\fR. If it exceeds the
maximum percentage, this indicates that the rate of incoming data is
greater than the rate that the backend storage can handle. In this case, we
must further throttle incoming writes, as described in the next section.
.SH ZFS TRANSACTION DELAY
We delay transactions when we've determined that the backend storage
isn't able to accommodate the rate of incoming writes.
.sp
If there is already a transaction waiting, we delay relative to when
that transaction will finish waiting. This way the calculated delay time
is independent of the number of threads concurrently executing
transactions.
.sp
If we are the only waiter, wait relative to when the transaction
started, rather than the current time. This credits the transaction for
"time already served", e.g. reading indirect blocks.
.sp
The minimum time for a transaction to take is calculated as:
.nf
min_time = zfs_delay_scale * (dirty - min) / (max - dirty)
min_time is then capped at 100 milliseconds.
.fi
.sp
The delay has two degrees of freedom that can be adjusted via tunables. The
percentage of dirty data at which we start to delay is defined by
\fBzfs_delay_min_dirty_percent\fR. This should typically be at or above
\fBzfs_vdev_async_write_active_max_dirty_percent\fR so that we only start to
delay after writing at full speed has failed to keep up with the incoming write
rate. The scale of the curve is defined by \fBzfs_delay_scale\fR. Roughly speaking,
this variable determines the amount of delay at the midpoint of the curve.
.sp

.fi
.sp
Note that since the delay is added to the outstanding time remaining on the
most recent transaction, the delay is effectively the inverse of IOPS.
Here the midpoint of 500us translates to 2000 IOPS. The shape of the curve
was chosen such that small changes in the amount of accumulated dirty data
in the first 3/4 of the curve yield relatively small differences in the
amount of delay.
.sp
The effects can be easier to understand when the amount of delay is
represented on a log scale:
.sp
.nf

0% <- zfs_dirty_data_max -> 100%
.fi
.sp
Note here that only as the amount of dirty data approaches its limit does
the delay start to increase rapidly. The goal of a properly tuned system
should be to keep the amount of dirty data out of that range by first
ensuring that the appropriate limits are set for the I/O scheduler to reach
optimal throughput on the backend storage, and then by changing the value
of \fBzfs_delay_scale\fR to increase the steepness of the curve.
