Brian Behlendorf ceb3872825 Fix KMC_OFFSLAB type caches
Because spl_slab_size() was always returning -ENOSPC for caches of
type KMC_OFFSLAB the cache could never be created.  Additionally
the slab size is rounded up to a page which is what kv_alloc()
expects.  The kv_alloc() code will minimally allocate a page,
in the KMC_OFFSLAB case this could be reduced.

The basic regression tests kmem:slab_small, kmem:slab_large,
and kmem:slab_align regression were updated to test KMC_OFFSLAB.

Brian Behlendorf b9b3715346 Return -1 for generic kmem cache shrinker
It has been observed that it's possible to get in a state where
shrink_slabs() will spin repeated invoking the generic kmem cache
shrinker.  It fails to detect it's not making forward progress
reclaiming from the cache and doesn't give up.  To ensure this
never occurs we unconditionally return -1 after reclaiming what
we can.

Brian Behlendorf ab4e74cc38 Fix bogus kmem leak warning
Commit 5c7a036 correctly relocated the creation of a taskq
and the registraction of the kmem_cache_shrinker after the
initialization of the kmem tracking code.  However, the
cleanup of these structures was not done before the leak
checks in spl_kmem_fini().  This resulted in an incorrect
'kmem leaked' warning even though there was no actual leak.

Brian Behlendorf b1424adda5 Fix --enable-debug-kmem-tracking option
This code has gotten something stale and no longer builds cleanly
against modern kernels.  The two issues addressed here are as
follows:

* The hlist_*_rcu interfaces in the kernel have been relatively
  unstable.  Since this isn't performance critical code just use
  the long standing hlist_* variants.

* In older kernels the hash_ptr() function takes a 'void *' but
  in newer kernels it expects a 'const void *'.  To silence the
  compiler warnings about this explicitly cast it to a 'void *'.
  The memset function is a similar case but it always expects
  a 'void *'.

Richard Yao f2a745c41d Linux 3.10 compat: Do not rely on struct proc_dir_entry definition
Linux kernel commit torvalds/linux#59d8053f moved the definition of
struct proc_dir_entry from include/linux/proc_fs.h to the private
header fs/proc/internal.h. The SPL relied on that to map Solaris'
kstat to entries in /proc/spl/kstat.

Since the proc_dir_entry structure is now private the only safe
thing to do is wrap the opaque proc handle with our own structure.
This actually ends up simplify the code and is good because it
moves us away from depending on implementation details of /proc.

Tim Chase 5c7a0369e2 Fix --enable-debug-kmem-tracking option
Re-order initialization in spl_kmem_init to allow for kmem tracing
to work.  The spl_kmem_init function calls taskq_create prior to
initializing the tracking (calling spl_kmem_init_tracking).  Since
taskq_create uses kmem_alloc, NULL dereferences occur because the
global kmem_list hasn't had its next & prev pointers initialized yet.

This commit moves the calls to spl_kmem_init_tracking earlier in the
spl_kmem_init function in order that the subsequent kmem_alloc calls
(by taskq_create) work properly.

Brian Behlendorf 4bf3909e51 Disable automatic log dumping
Long ago infrastructure was added to the SPL to keep an internal
debug log of the last few seconds of activity.  This was helpful
during the early development, but these days it is no longer
needed.  I haven't had to resort to this debug buffer to resolve
an issue for several years now.

Today better more generic tools like systemtap and ftrace have
evolved to the point where they can be used for this purpose.
Along with the stack trace dumped to the system console, and in
rare cases a crash dump we almost always have the debug we need.

Therefore, I'm disabling the code which automatically dumps
this log to disk during an assertion except for the case where
spl_debug_panic_on_bug is set (disabled by default).

This should be viewed as a first step towards either.

  a) Retiring this infrastructure and complexity entirely, or
  b) Integrating this logging more properly with ftrace.

As part of this change I'm also removing from the packages the
undocumented spl utility which is used to decode the binary logs.

Brian Behlendorf 6ef94aa67a Fix tsd_get/set() race with tsd_exit/destroy()

hash bins without taking the hash bin lock.  They do take the
table lock, but tsd_get() and tsd_set() only take the hash bin

The result is that while tsd_get() and tsd_set() are traversing

happens to hash to the same value.  To avoid this add the needed

Brian Behlendorf 0936c3449f Add spl_kmem_cache_expire module option
Cache aging was implemented because it was part of the default Solaris
kmem_cache behavior.  The idea is that per-cpu objects which haven't been
accessed in several seconds should be returned to the cache.  On the other
hand Linux slabs never move objects back to the slabs unless there is
memory pressure on the system.

This behavior is now configurable through the 'spl_kmem_cache_expire'
module option.  The value is a bit mask with the following meaning.

  0x1 - Solaris style cache aging eviction is enabled.
  0x2 - Linux style low memory eviction is enabled.

Both methods may be safely enabled simultaneously, but by default
both are disabled.  It has never been clear if the kmem cache aging
(which has been around from day one) actually does any good.  It has
however been the source of numerous bugs so I wouldn't mind retiring
it entirely.

Brian Behlendorf d4899f4747 kmem-cache: Fix slab ageing soft lockup
Commit a10287e00d slightly reworked
the slab ageing code such that it is no longer dependent on the
Linux delayed work queue interfaces.

This was good for portability and performance, but it requires us
to use the on_each_cpu() function to execute the spl_magazine_age()
function.  That means that the function is now executing in interrupt
context whereas before it was scheduled in normal process context.
And that means we need to be slightly more careful about the locking
in the interrupt handler.

With the reworked code it's possible that we'll be holding the
skc->skc_lock and be interrupted to handle the spl_magazine_age()
IRQ.  This will result in a deadlock and soft lockup errors unless
we're careful to detect the contention and avoid taking the lock in
the interupt handler.  So that's what this patch does.

Alternately, (and slightly more conventionally) we could have used
spin_lock_irqsave() to prevent this race entirely but I'd perfer to
avoid disabling interrupts as much as possible due to performance
concerns.  There is absolutely no penalty for us not aging objects
out of the magazine due to contention.

Brian Behlendorf 1c7b3eaf87 RHEL 6.4 compat, fallocate()
In the upstream kernel the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE #define was
introduced after the fallocate() function was moved from the
inode_operations to the file_operations structure.  Therefore,
the SPL code assumed that if FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE was defined
it was safe to use f_ops->fallocate().

Unfortunately, the RHEL6.4 kernel has only backported the
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE #define and not the fallocate() change.

This code never actually used the delay functionality it was just

Brian Behlendorf a10287e00d kmem-cache: Use taskqs for ageing
Shift the cache and magazine ageing functionality over to the new
delayed taskq interfaces.  This allows us to abandon the kernels
delayed work queue interface and all the compatibility code it
requires.

However, the delayed taskq interface does not allow us to schedule
a task for a specfic cpu so the ageing code was slightly reworked.
The magazine ageing delay has been directly linked to the cache
ageing function.  The spl_cache_age() function invokes on_each_cpu()
in order to run spl_magazine_age() on each cpu.  It then blocks
waiting for them to complete and promptly reclaims any free slabs.

When restructing the code wasn't the primary goal I think the
new code is far more understable and maintainable.  It also should
help minimize magazine thrashing because free slabs are immediately
released after the magazine is aged.

Brian Behlendorf 3238e71763 splat taskq:cancel: Add test case
Add a test case for taskq_cancel_id() to verify it is working
properly.  Just like taskq:delay we start by dispatching 100
tasks.  However this time 1/3 of the tasks use taskq_dispatch()
and will be run immediately, and 2/3 use taskq_dispatch_delay().
The idea is to create a busy taskq with both active, pending,
and delayed tasks.

After all the items have been successfully dispatched the test
begins randomly canceling known task ids.  It will do this for
5 seconds randomly canceling a task id and then sleeping for a
few milliseconds.   The task being canceled may have already run,
still be on the pending list, or may be currently being executed
by a worker thread.  The idea is to ensure we catch any subtle
race conditions.

Once all the non-canceled tasks have completed we cross check
the number of tasks which ran with the number of tasks which
were successfully canceled.  Additionally, we verify that the
taskq_cancel_id() function never blocks longer than needed.
This time is bounded by the longest run time of the task which
was dispatched.

Brian Behlendorf d9acd930b5 taskq delay/cancel functionality
Add the ability to dispatch a delayed task to a taskq.  The desired
behavior is for the task to be queued but not executed by a worker
thread until the expiration time is reached.  To achieve this two
new functions were added.

* taskq_dispatch_delay() -

  This function behaves exactly like taskq_dispatch() however it
takes a third 'expire_time' argument.  The caller should pass the
desired time the task should be executed as an absolute value in
jiffies.  The task is guarenteed not to run before this time, it
may run slightly latter if all the worker threads are busy.

* taskq_cancel_id() -

  Given a task id attempt to cancel the task before it gets executed.
This is primarily useful for canceling delay tasks but can be used for
canceling any previously dispatched task.  There are three possible
return values.

  0      - The task was found and canceled before it was executed.
  ENOENT - The task was not found, either it was already run or an
           invalid task id was supplied by the caller.
  EBUSY  - The task is currently executing any may not be canceled.
           This function will block until the task has been completed.

* taskq_wait_all() -

  The taskq_wait_id() function was renamed taskq_wait_all() to more
clearly reflect its actual behavior.  It is only curreny used by
the splat taskq regression tests.

* taskq_wait_id() -

  Historically, the only difference between this function and
taskq_wait() was that you passed the task id.  In both functions you
would block until ALL lower task ids which executed.  This was
semantically correct but could be very slow particularly if there
were delay tasks submitted.

  To better accomidate the delay tasks this function was reimplemnted.
It will now only block until the passed task id has been completed.

This is actually a fairly low risk change for a few reasons.

* Only new ZFS callers will make use of the new interfaces and
  very little common code was changed to support the new functions.

* The existing taskq_wait() implementation was not changed just
  slightly refactored.

* The newly optimized taskq_wait_id() implementation was never
  used by ZFS we can't accidentally introduce a new bug there.

NOTE: This functionality does not exist in the Illumos taskqs.

Steven Johnson 9b88fa165f splat taskq:front: Fix race
The taskq:front test has a race condition where task 4 and 8
race to complete, due to an incorrectly calculated set of delay
"factors" (T). If task 4 wins and actually finishes first, the
verification of the order of completion will fail.

The delays calculated to order task completion do not take into
account the terminal line in the table, and so are all off by
a factor of 1. This causes all the tasks in all queues to finish
sooner than expected and the accumulated error is the root cause
of tasks 4 and 8 racing to complete first. Before the change the
"actual" table looks like I commented in #130.

I changed:

* the table in the comment to correctly reflect the test and the
  factor timings needed.
* the individual task delay factors of T so that ONLY 1 task will
  every 2T. (on average)
* 1T was reduced from 100ms to 50ms. This halves the duration of
  the test and makes any remaining raciness more likely to cause
  failures, but it did not cause the test to fail.
* simplified the delay factor logic by using a table look-up
  instead of a switch.
* Added a "task started" message so that with -v it is possible
  to see the order tasks are started.
* Moved the "task completed" message inside the spinlock so that
  with -v the message truly reflects the absolute order of
  completion as guaranteed by the spinlock.

Brian Behlendorf 053678f3b0 Handle errors from spl_kern_path_locked()
When the Linux 3.6 KERN_PATH_LOCKED compatibility code was added
by commit bcb1589 an entirely new vn_remove() implementation was
added.  That function did not properly handle an error from
spl_kern_path_locked() which would result in an panic.  This
patch addresses the issue by returning the error to the caller.

Brian Behlendorf b84412a6e8 Linux compat 3.7, kernel_thread()
The preferred kernel interface for creating threads has been
kthread_create() for a long time now.  However, several of the
SPLAT tests still use the legacy kernel_thread() function which
has finally been dropped (mostly).

Update the condvar and rwlock SPLAT tests to use the modern
interface.  Frankly this is something we should have done a
long time ago.

Brian Behlendorf 043f9b5724 Disable FS reclaim when allocating new slabs
Allowing the spl_cache_grow_work() function to reclaim inodes
allows for two unlikely deadlocks.  Therefore, we clear __GFP_FS
for these allocations.  The two deadlocks are:

* While holding the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj1) lock a function
  calls kmem_cache_alloc() which happens to need to allocate a
  new slab.  To allocate the new slab we enter FS level reclaim
  and attempt to evict several inodes.  To evict these inodes we
  need to take the ZFS_OBJ_HOLD_ENTER(zsb, obj2) lock and it
  just happens that obj1 and obj2 use the same hashed lock.

* Similar to the first case however instead of getting blocked
  on the hash lock we block in txg_wait_open() which is waiting
  for the next txg which isn't coming because the txg_sync
  thread is blocked in kmem_cache_alloc().

Note this isn't a 100% fix because vmalloc() won't strictly
honor __GFP_FS.  However, it practice this is sufficient because
several very unlikely things must all occur concurrently.

Brian Behlendorf dc1b30224f Never spin in kmem_cache_alloc()
If we are reaping from the cache and a concurrent allocation
occurs then the caller must block until the reaping is complete.
This is signaled by the clearing of the KMC_BIT_REAPING bit.

Otherwise the caller will be in a tight loop which takes and
releases the skc->skc_cache lock.  When there are multiple
concurrent callers the system will thrash on the lock and
appear to lock up.

Brian Behlendorf a1af8fb1ea Optimize spl_kmem_cache_free()
Because only virtual slabs may have emergency objects and these
objects are guaranteed to have physical addresses.  It can be
easily determined if the passed object is a virtual slab object
or an emergency object.  This allows us to completely optimize
the emergency object free case out of the common free path.

Brian Behlendorf ed3163484d Track emergency object in rbtree
In the initial implementation emergency objects were tracked on a
per-cache list.  The assumption was that under normal operation we
would never allocate more than a handful of these objects.  So the
cost of walking the list during free was expected to be negligible.

However real world usage has shown that emergency objects tend to
be allocated in batches.  A deadlock will be detected and several
thousand emergency objects will be allocated before the original
blocked slab allocation can complete.

Therefore the original list has been replaced by a red black tree
which is sorted by the memory address of each allocated object.
This bounds the worst case insertion and removal time to O(log n)
which minimize contention on the assoicated spin lock.

Brian Behlendorf 165f13c33a Improved vmem cached deadlock detection
The entire goal of performing the slab allocations asynchronously
is to be able to detect when a vmalloc() deadlocks.  In this case,
and only this case, do we want to start allocating emergency objects.
The trick here is to minimize false positives because the overhead
of tracking emergency objects is far higher than normal slab objects.

With that goal in mind the code was reworked to be less sensitive
to slow allocations by increasing the wait time.  Once a cache is
is marked deadlocked all subsequent allocations which can not be
satisfied with existing cache objects will immediately allocate new
emergency objects.  This behavior persists until the asynchronous
allocation completes and clears the deadlocked flag.

The result of these tweaks is that far fewer emergency objects
get created which is important because this minimizes the cost of
releasing them latter in kmem_cache_free().
