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 9962 - zil_commit should omit cache thrash As a result of the changes made in 8585, it's possible for an excessive amount of vdev flush commands to be issued under some workloads. Specifically, when the workload consists of mostly async write activity, interspersed with some sync write and/or fsync activity, we can end up issuing more flush commands to the underlying storage than is actually necessary. As a result of these flush commands, the write latency and overall throughput of the pool can be poorly impacted (latency increases, throughput decreases). Currently, any time an lwb completes, the vdev(s) written to as a result of that lwb will be issued a flush command. The intenion is so the data written to that vdev is on stable storage, prior to communicating to any waiting threads that their data is safe on disk. The problem with this scheme, is that sometimes an lwb will not have any threads waiting for it to complete. This can occur when there's async activity that gets "converted" to sync requests, as a result of calling the zil_async_to_sync() function via zil_commit_impl(). When this occurs, the current code may issue many lwbs that don't have waiters associated with them, resulting in many flush commands, potentially to the same vdev(s). For example, given a pool with a single vdev, and a single fsync() call that results in 10 lwbs being written out (e.g. due to other async writes), that will result in 10 flush commands to that single vdev (a flush issued after each lwb write completes). Ideally, we'd only issue a single flush command to that vdev, after all 10 lwb writes completed. Further, and most important as it pertains to this change, since the flush commands are often very impactful to the performance of the pool's underlying storage, unnecessarily issuing these flush commands can poorly impact the performance of the lwb writes themselves. Thus, we need to avoid issuing flush commands when possible, in order to acheive the best possible performance out of the pool's underlying storage. This change attempts to address this problem by changing the ZIL's logic to only issue a vdev flush command when it detects an lwb that has a thread waiting for it to complete. When an lwb does not have threads waiting for it, the responsibility of issuing the flush command to the vdevs involved with that lwb's write is passed on to the "next" lwb. It's only once a write for an lwb with waiters completes, do we issue the vdev flush command(s). As a result, now when we issue the flush(s), we will issue them to the vdevs involved with that specific lwb's write, but potentially also to vdevs involved with "previous" lwb writes (i.e. if the previous lwbs did not have waiters associated with them). Thus, in our prior example with 10 lwbs, it's only once the last lwb completes (which will be the lwb containing the waiter for the thread that called fsync) will we issue the vdev flush command; all of the other lwbs will find they have no waiters, so they'll pass the responsibility of the flush to the "next" lwb (until reaching the last lwb that has the waiter).

OpenZFS 8585 - improve batching done in zil_commit() Authored by: Prakash Surya <prakash.surya@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Brad Lewis <brad.lewis@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matt Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@joyent.com> Ported-by: Prakash Surya <prakash.surya@delphix.com> Problem ======= The current implementation of zil_commit() can introduce significant latency, beyond what is inherent due to the latency of the underlying storage. The additional latency comes from two main problems: 1. When there's outstanding ZIL blocks being written (i.e. there's already a "writer thread" in progress), then any new calls to zil_commit() will block waiting for the currently oustanding ZIL blocks to complete. The blocks written for each "writer thread" is coined a "batch", and there can only ever be a single "batch" being written at a time. When a batch is being written, any new ZIL transactions will have to wait for the next batch to be written, which won't occur until the current batch finishes. As a result, the underlying storage may not be used as efficiently as possible. While "new" threads enter zil_commit() and are blocked waiting for the next batch, it's possible that the underlying storage isn't fully utilized by the current batch of ZIL blocks. In that case, it'd be better to allow these new threads to generate (and issue) a new ZIL block, such that it could be serviced by the underlying storage concurrently with the other ZIL blocks that are being serviced. 2. Any call to zil_commit() must wait for all ZIL blocks in its "batch" to complete, prior to zil_commit() returning. The size of any given batch is proportional to the number of ZIL transaction in the queue at the time that the batch starts processing the queue; which doesn't occur until the previous batch completes. Thus, if there's a lot of transactions in the queue, the batch could be composed of many ZIL blocks, and each call to zil_commit() will have to wait for all of these writes to complete (even if the thread calling zil_commit() only cared about one of the transactions in the batch). To further complicate the situation, these two issues result in the following side effect: 3. If a given batch takes longer to complete than normal, this results in larger batch sizes, which then take longer to complete and further drive up the latency of zil_commit(). This can occur for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to): transient changes in the workload, and storage latency irregularites. Solution ======== The solution attempted by this change has the following goals: 1. no on-disk changes; maintain current on-disk format. 2. modify the "batch size" to be equal to the "ZIL block size". 3. allow new batches to be generated and issued to disk, while there's already batches being serviced by the disk. 4. allow zil_commit() to wait for as few ZIL blocks as possible. 5. use as few ZIL blocks as possible, for the same amount of ZIL transactions, without introducing significant latency to any individual ZIL transaction. i.e. use fewer, but larger, ZIL blocks. In theory, with these goals met, the new allgorithm will allow the following improvements: 1. new ZIL blocks can be generated and issued, while there's already oustanding ZIL blocks being serviced by the storage. 2. the latency of zil_commit() should be proportional to the underlying storage latency, rather than the incoming synchronous workload. Porting Notes ============= Due to the changes made in commit 119a394ab0, the lifetime of an itx structure differs than in OpenZFS. Specifically, the itx structure is kept around until the data associated with the itx is considered to be safe on disk; this is so that the itx's callback can be called after the data is committed to stable storage. Since OpenZFS doesn't have this itx callback mechanism, it's able to destroy the itx structure immediately after the itx is committed to an lwb (before the lwb is written to disk). To support this difference, and to ensure the itx's callbacks can still be called after the itx's data is on disk, a few changes had to be made: * A list of itxs was added to the lwb structure. This list contains all of the itxs that have been committed to the lwb, such that the callbacks for these itxs can be called from zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(), after the data for the itxs is committed to disk. * A list of itxs was added on the stack of the zil_process_commit_list() function; the "nolwb_itxs" list. In some circumstances, an itx may not be committed to an lwb (e.g. if allocating the "next" ZIL block on disk fails), so this list is used to keep track of which itxs fall into this state, such that their callbacks can be called after the ZIL's writer pipeline is "stalled". * The logic to actually call the itx's callback was moved into the zil_itx_destroy() function.

OpenZFS 9962 - zil_commit should omit cache thrash As a result of the changes made in 8585, it's possible for an excessive amount of vdev flush commands to be issued under some workloads. Specifically, when the workload consists of mostly async write activity, interspersed with some sync write and/or fsync activity, we can end up issuing more flush commands to the underlying storage than is actually necessary. As a result of these flush commands, the write latency and overall throughput of the pool can be poorly impacted (latency increases, throughput decreases). Currently, any time an lwb completes, the vdev(s) written to as a result of that lwb will be issued a flush command. The intenion is so the data written to that vdev is on stable storage, prior to communicating to any waiting threads that their data is safe on disk. The problem with this scheme, is that sometimes an lwb will not have any threads waiting for it to complete. This can occur when there's async activity that gets "converted" to sync requests, as a result of calling the zil_async_to_sync() function via zil_commit_impl(). When this occurs, the current code may issue many lwbs that don't have waiters associated with them, resulting in many flush commands, potentially to the same vdev(s). For example, given a pool with a single vdev, and a single fsync() call that results in 10 lwbs being written out (e.g. due to other async writes), that will result in 10 flush commands to that single vdev (a flush issued after each lwb write completes). Ideally, we'd only issue a single flush command to that vdev, after all 10 lwb writes completed. Further, and most important as it pertains to this change, since the flush commands are often very impactful to the performance of the pool's underlying storage, unnecessarily issuing these flush commands can poorly impact the performance of the lwb writes themselves. Thus, we need to avoid issuing flush commands when possible, in order to acheive the best possible performance out of the pool's underlying storage. This change attempts to address this problem by changing the ZIL's logic to only issue a vdev flush command when it detects an lwb that has a thread waiting for it to complete. When an lwb does not have threads waiting for it, the responsibility of issuing the flush command to the vdevs involved with that lwb's write is passed on to the "next" lwb. It's only once a write for an lwb with waiters completes, do we issue the vdev flush command(s). As a result, now when we issue the flush(s), we will issue them to the vdevs involved with that specific lwb's write, but potentially also to vdevs involved with "previous" lwb writes (i.e. if the previous lwbs did not have waiters associated with them). Thus, in our prior example with 10 lwbs, it's only once the last lwb completes (which will be the lwb containing the waiter for the thread that called fsync) will we issue the vdev flush command; all of the other lwbs will find they have no waiters, so they'll pass the responsibility of the flush to the "next" lwb (until reaching the last lwb that has the waiter).

The additional latency comes from two main problems: 1. When there's outstanding ZIL blocks being written (i.e. there's already a "writer thread" in progress), then any new calls to zil_commit() will block waiting for the currently oustanding ZIL blocks to complete. The blocks written for each "writer thread" is coined a "batch", and there can only ever be a single "batch" being written at a time. When a batch is being written, any new ZIL transactions will have to wait for the next batch to be written, which won't occur until the current batch finishes. As a result, the underlying storage may not be used as efficiently as possible. While "new" threads enter zil_commit() and are blocked waiting for the next batch, it's possible that the underlying storage isn't fully utilized by the current batch of ZIL blocks. In that case, it'd be better to allow these new threads to generate (and issue) a new ZIL block, such that it could be serviced by the underlying storage concurrently with the other ZIL blocks that are being serviced. 2. Any call to zil_commit() must wait for all ZIL blocks in its "batch" to complete, prior to zil_commit() returning. The size of any given batch is proportional to the number of ZIL transaction in the queue at the time that the batch starts processing the queue; which doesn't occur until the previous batch completes. Thus, if there's a lot of transactions in the queue, the batch could be composed of many ZIL blocks, and each call to zil_commit() will have to wait for all of these writes to complete (even if the thread calling zil_commit() only cared about one of the transactions in the batch). To further complicate the situation, these two issues result in the following side effect: 3. If a given batch takes longer to complete than normal, this results in larger batch sizes, which then take longer to complete and further drive up the latency of zil_commit(). This can occur for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to): transient changes in the workload, and storage latency irregularites. Solution ======== The solution attempted by this change has the following goals: 1. no on-disk changes; maintain current on-disk format. 2. modify the "batch size" to be equal to the "ZIL block size". 3. allow new batches to be generated and issued to disk, while there's already batches being serviced by the disk. 4. allow zil_commit() to wait for as few ZIL blocks as possible. 5. use as few ZIL blocks as possible, for the same amount of ZIL transactions, without introducing significant latency to any individual ZIL transaction. i.e. use fewer, but larger, ZIL blocks. In theory, with these goals met, the new allgorithm will allow the following improvements: 1. new ZIL blocks can be generated and issued, while there's already oustanding ZIL blocks being serviced by the storage. 2. the latency of zil_commit() should be proportional to the underlying storage latency, rather than the incoming synchronous workload. Porting Notes ============= Due to the changes made in commit 119a394ab0, the lifetime of an itx structure differs than in OpenZFS. Specifically, the itx structure is kept around until the data associated with the itx is considered to be safe on disk; this is so that the itx's callback can be called after the data is committed to stable storage. Since OpenZFS doesn't have this itx callback mechanism, it's able to destroy the itx structure immediately after the itx is committed to an lwb (before the lwb is written to disk). To support this difference, and to ensure the itx's callbacks can still be called after the itx's data is on disk, a few changes had to be made: * A list of itxs was added to the lwb structure. This list contains all of the itxs that have been committed to the lwb, such that the callbacks for these itxs can be called from zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(), after the data for the itxs is committed to disk. * A list of itxs was added on the stack of the zil_process_commit_list() function; the "nolwb_itxs" list. In some circumstances, an itx may not be committed to an lwb (e.g. if allocating the "next" ZIL block on disk fails), so this list is used to keep track of which itxs fall into this state, such that their callbacks can be called after the ZIL's writer pipeline is "stalled". * The logic to actually call the itx's callback was moved into the zil_itx_destroy() function. Since all consumers of zil_itx_destroy() were effectively performing the same logic (i.e. if callback is non-null, call the callback), it seemed like useful code cleanup to consolidate this logic into a single function.

OpenZFS 7578 - Fix/improve some aspects of ZIL writing - After some ZIL changes 6 years ago zil_slog_limit got partially broken due to zl_itx_list_sz not updated when async itx'es upgraded to sync. Actually because of other changes about that time zl_itx_list_sz is not really required to implement the functionality, so this patch removes some unneeded broken code and variables. - Original idea of zil_slog_limit was to reduce chance of SLOG abuse by single heavy logger, that increased latency for other (more latency critical) loggers, by pushing heavy log out into the main pool instead of SLOG. Beside huge latency increase for heavy writers, this implementation caused double write of all data, since the log records were explicitly prepared for SLOG. Since we now have I/O scheduler, I've found it can be much more efficient to reduce priority of heavy logger SLOG writes from ZIO_PRIORITY_SYNC_WRITE to ZIO_PRIORITY_ASYNC_WRITE, while still leave them on SLOG. - Existing ZIL implementation had problem with space efficiency when it has to write large chunks of data into log blocks of limited size. In some cases efficiency stopped to almost as low as 50%. In case of ZIL stored on spinning rust, that also reduced log write speed in half, since head had to uselessly fly over allocated but not written areas. This change improves the situation by offloading problematic operations from z*_log_write() to zil_lwb_commit(), which knows real situation of log blocks allocation and can split large requests into pieces much more efficiently. Also as side effect it removes one of two data copy operations done by ZIL code WR_COPIED case. - While there, untangle and unify code of z*_log_write() functions. Also zfs_log_write() alike to zvol_log_write() can now handle writes crossing block boundary, that may also improve efficiency if ZPL is made to do that. Sponsored by: iXsystems, Inc.

OpenZFS 8585 - improve batching done in zil_commit() Authored by: Prakash Surya <prakash.surya@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Brad Lewis <brad.lewis@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matt Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@joyent.com> Ported-by: Prakash Surya <prakash.surya@delphix.com> Problem ======= The current implementation of zil_commit() can introduce significant latency, beyond what is inherent due to the latency of the underlying storage. The additional latency comes from two main problems: 1. When there's outstanding ZIL blocks being written (i.e. there's already a "writer thread" in progress), then any new calls to zil_commit() will block waiting for the currently oustanding ZIL blocks to complete. The blocks written for each "writer thread" is coined a "batch", and there can only ever be a single "batch" being written at a time. When a batch is being written, any new ZIL transactions will have to wait for the next batch to be written, which won't occur until the current batch finishes. As a result, the underlying storage may not be used as efficiently as possible. While "new" threads enter zil_commit() and are blocked waiting for the next batch, it's possible that the underlying storage isn't fully utilized by the current batch of ZIL blocks. In that case, it'd be better to allow these new threads to generate (and issue) a new ZIL block, such that it could be serviced by the underlying storage concurrently with the other ZIL blocks that are being serviced. 2. Any call to zil_commit() must wait for all ZIL blocks in its "batch" to complete, prior to zil_commit() returning. The size of any given batch is proportional to the number of ZIL transaction in the queue at the time that the batch starts processing the queue; which doesn't occur until the previous batch completes. Thus, if there's a lot of transactions in the queue, the batch could be composed of many ZIL blocks, and each call to zil_commit() will have to wait for all of these writes to complete (even if the thread calling zil_commit() only cared about one of the transactions in the batch). To further complicate the situation, these two issues result in the following side effect: 3. If a given batch takes longer to complete than normal, this results in larger batch sizes, which then take longer to complete and further drive up the latency of zil_commit(). This can occur for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to): transient changes in the workload, and storage latency irregularites. Solution ======== The solution attempted by this change has the following goals: 1. no on-disk changes; maintain current on-disk format. 2. modify the "batch size" to be equal to the "ZIL block size". 3. allow new batches to be generated and issued to disk, while there's already batches being serviced by the disk. 4. allow zil_commit() to wait for as few ZIL blocks as possible. 5. use as few ZIL blocks as possible, for the same amount of ZIL transactions, without introducing significant latency to any individual ZIL transaction. i.e. use fewer, but larger, ZIL blocks. In theory, with these goals met, the new allgorithm will allow the following improvements: 1. new ZIL blocks can be generated and issued, while there's already oustanding ZIL blocks being serviced by the storage. 2. the latency of zil_commit() should be proportional to the underlying storage latency, rather than the incoming synchronous workload. Porting Notes ============= Due to the changes made in commit 119a394ab0, the lifetime of an itx structure differs than in OpenZFS. Specifically, the itx structure is kept around until the data associated with the itx is considered to be safe on disk; this is so that the itx's callback can be called after the data is committed to stable storage. Since OpenZFS doesn't have this itx callback mechanism, it's able to destroy the itx structure immediately after the itx is committed to an lwb (before the lwb is written to disk). To support this difference, and to ensure the itx's callbacks can still be called after the itx's data is on disk, a few changes had to be made: * A list of itxs was added to the lwb structure. This list contains all of the itxs that have been committed to the lwb, such that the callbacks for these itxs can be called from zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(), after the data for the itxs is committed to disk. * A list of itxs was added on the stack of the zil_process_commit_list() function; the "nolwb_itxs" list. In some circumstances, an itx may not be committed to an lwb (e.g. if allocating the "next" ZIL block on disk fails), so this list is used to keep track of which itxs fall into this state, such that their callbacks can be called after the ZIL's writer pipeline is "stalled". * The logic to actually call the itx's callback was moved into the zil_itx_destroy() function. Since all consumers of zil_itx_destroy() were effectively performing the same logic (i.e. if callback is non-null, call the callback), it seemed like useful code cleanup to consolidate this logic into a single function. Additionally, the existing Linux tracepoint infrastructure dealing with the ZIL's probes and structures had to be updated to reflect these code changes. Specifically: * The "zil__cw1" and "zil__cw2" probes were removed, so they had to be removed from "trace_zil.h" as well. * Some of the zilog structure's fields were removed, which affected the tracepoint definitions of the structure. * New tracepoints had to be added for the following 3 new probes: * zil__process__commit__itx * zil__process__normal__itx * zil__commit__io__error OpenZFS-issue: https://www.illumos.org/issues/8585 OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/5d95a3a Closes #6566

Specifically: * The "zil__cw1" and "zil__cw2" probes were removed, so they had to be removed from "trace_zil.h" as well. * Some of the zilog structure's fields were removed, which affected the tracepoint definitions of the structure. * New tracepoints had to be added for the following 3 new probes: * zil__process__commit__itx * zil__process__normal__itx * zil__commit__io__error OpenZFS-issue: https://www.illumos.org/issues/8585 OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/5d95a3a Closes #6566

OpenZFS 8585 - improve batching done in zil_commit() Authored by: Prakash Surya <prakash.surya@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Brad Lewis <brad.lewis@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matt Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@joyent.com> Ported-by: Prakash Surya <prakash.surya@delphix.com> Problem ======= The current implementation of zil_commit() can introduce significant latency, beyond what is inherent due to the latency of the underlying storage. The additional latency comes from two main problems: 1. When there's outstanding ZIL blocks being written (i.e. there's already a "writer thread" in progress), then any new calls to zil_commit() will block waiting for the currently oustanding ZIL blocks to complete. The blocks written for each "writer thread" is coined a "batch", and there can only ever be a single "batch" being written at a time. When a batch is being written, any new ZIL transactions will have to wait for the next batch to be written, which won't occur until the current batch finishes. As a result, the underlying storage may not be used as efficiently as possible. While "new" threads enter zil_commit() and are blocked waiting for the next batch, it's possible that the underlying storage isn't fully utilized by the current batch of ZIL blocks. In that case, it'd be better to allow these new threads to generate (and issue) a new ZIL block, such that it could be serviced by the underlying storage concurrently with the other ZIL blocks that are being serviced. 2. Any call to zil_commit() must wait for all ZIL blocks in its "batch" to complete, prior to zil_commit() returning. The size of any given batch is proportional to the number of ZIL transaction in the queue at the time that the batch starts processing the queue; which doesn't occur until the previous batch completes. Thus, if there's a lot of transactions in the queue, the batch could be composed of many ZIL blocks, and each call to zil_commit() will have to wait for all of these writes to complete (even if the thread calling zil_commit() only cared about one of the transactions in the batch). To further complicate the situation, these two issues result in the following side effect: 3. If a given batch takes longer to complete than normal, this results in larger batch sizes, which then take longer to complete and further drive up the latency of zil_commit(). This can occur for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to): transient changes in the workload, and storage latency irregularites. Solution ======== The solution attempted by this change has the following goals: 1. no on-disk changes; maintain current on-disk format. 2. modify the "batch size" to be equal to the "ZIL block size". 3. allow new batches to be generated and issued to disk, while there's already batches being serviced by the disk. 4. allow zil_commit() to wait for as few ZIL blocks as possible. 5. use as few ZIL blocks as possible, for the same amount of ZIL transactions, without introducing significant latency to any individual ZIL transaction. i.e. use fewer, but larger, ZIL blocks. In theory, with these goals met, the new allgorithm will allow the following improvements: 1. new ZIL blocks can be generated and issued, while there's already oustanding ZIL blocks being serviced by the storage. 2. the latency of zil_commit() should be proportional to the underlying storage latency, rather than the incoming synchronous workload. Porting Notes ============= Due to the changes made in commit 119a394ab0, the lifetime of an itx structure differs than in OpenZFS. Specifically, the itx structure is kept around until the data associated with the itx is considered to be safe on disk; this is so that the itx's callback can be called after the data is committed to stable storage. Since OpenZFS doesn't have this itx callback mechanism, it's able to destroy the itx structure immediately after the itx is committed to an lwb (before the lwb is written to disk). To support this difference, and to ensure the itx's callbacks can still be called after the itx's data is on disk, a few changes had to be made: * A list of itxs was added to the lwb structure. This list contains all of the itxs that have been committed to the lwb, such that the callbacks for these itxs can be called from zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(), after the data for the itxs is committed to disk. * A list of itxs was added on the stack of the zil_process_commit_list() function; the "nolwb_itxs" list. In some circumstances, an itx may not be committed to an lwb (e.g. if allocating the "next" ZIL block on disk fails), so this list is used to keep track of which itxs fall into this state, such that their callbacks can be called after the ZIL's writer pipeline is "stalled". * The logic to actually call the itx's callback was moved into the zil_itx_destroy() function. Since all consumers of zil_itx_destroy() were effectively performing the same logic (i.e. if callback is non-null, call the callback), it seemed like useful code cleanup to consolidate this logic into a single function. Additionally, the existing Linux tracepoint infrastructure dealing with the ZIL's probes and structures had to be updated to reflect these code changes. Specifically: * The "zil__cw1" and "zil__cw2" probes were removed, so they had to be removed from "trace_zil.h" as well. * Some of the zilog structure's fields were removed, which affected the tracepoint definitions of the structure. * New tracepoints had to be added for the following 3 new probes: * zil__process__commit__itx * zil__process__normal__itx * zil__commit__io__error OpenZFS-issue: https://www.illumos.org/issues/8585 OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/5d95a3a Closes #6566
