When write I/Os are issued, they are issued in block order but the ZIO
pipeline will drive them asynchronously through the allocation stage
which can result in blocks being allocated out-of-order. It would be
nice to preserve as much of the logical order as possible.
In addition, the allocations are equally scattered across all top-level
VDEVs but not all top-level VDEVs are created equally. The pipeline
should be able to detect devices that are more capable of handling
allocations and should allocate more blocks to those devices. This
allows for dynamic allocation distribution when devices are imbalanced
as fuller devices will tend to be slower than empty devices.
The change includes a new pool-wide allocation queue which would
throttle and order allocations in the ZIO pipeline. The queue would be
ordered by issued time and offset and would provide an initial amount of
allocation of work to each top-level vdev. The allocation logic utilizes
a reservation system to reserve allocations that will be performed by
the allocator. Once an allocation is successfully completed it's
scheduled on a given top-level vdev. Each top-level vdev maintains a
maximum number of allocations that it can handle (mg_alloc_queue_depth).
The pool-wide reserved allocations (top-levels * mg_alloc_queue_depth)
are distributed across the top-level vdevs metaslab groups and round
robin across all eligible metaslab groups to distribute the work. As
top-levels complete their work, they receive additional work from the
pool-wide allocation queue until the allocation queue is emptied.

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.

This review covers the reading and writing of compressed arc headers, sharing
data between the arc_hdr_t and the arc_buf_t, and the implementation of a new
dbuf cache to keep frequently access data uncompressed.
I've added a new member to l1 arc hdr called b_pdata. The b_pdata always hangs
off the arc_buf_hdr_t (if an L1 hdr is in use) and points to the physical block
for that DVA. The physical block may or may not be compressed. If compressed
arc is enabled and the block on-disk is compressed, then the b_pdata will match
the block on-disk and remain compressed in memory. If the block on disk is not
compressed, then neither will the b_pdata. Lastly, if compressed arc is
disabled, then b_pdata will always be an uncompressed version of the on-disk
block.
Typically the arc will cache only the arc_buf_hdr_t and will aggressively evict
any arc_buf_t's that are no longer referenced. This means that the arc will
primarily have compressed blocks as the arc_buf_t's are considered overhead and
are always uncompressed. When a consumer reads a block we first look to see if
the arc_buf_hdr_t is cached. If the hdr is cached then we allocate a new
arc_buf_t and decompress the b_pdata contents into the arc_buf_t's b_data. If
the hdr already has a arc_buf_t, then we will allocate an additional arc_buf_t
and bcopy the uncompressed contents from the first arc_buf_t to the new one.
Writing to the compressed arc requires that we first discard the b_pdata since
the physical block is about to be rewritten. The new data contents will be
passed in via an arc_buf_t (uncompressed) and during the I/O pipeline stages we
will copy the physical block contents to a newly allocated b_pdata.
When an l2arc is inuse it will also take advantage of the b_pdata. Now the
l2arc will always write the contents of b_pdata to the l2arc. This means that
when compressed arc is enabled that the l2arc blocks are identical to those
stored in the main data pool. This provides a significant advantage since we
can leverage the bp's checksum when reading from the l2arc to determine if the
contents are valid. If the compressed arc is disabled, then we must first
transform the read block to look like the physical block in the main data pool
before comparing the checksum and determining it's valid.

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.

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.
The following are results from a setup with 3 Way Mirror with 2 x HD's and
1 x SSD from a basic test running multiple parrallel dd's.

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.

Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This
is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices.
However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that
it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of
overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this.
This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit
performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%.
Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to
obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already
does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs
because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In
addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files
are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the
main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own
elevators to merge IOs.
Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our
->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request()
function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on
zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits:
1. No per zvol spinlocks.
2. No redundant IO elevator processing.
3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary.
4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy.
5. Linux's page out routines will properly block.
6. Many autotools checks become obsolete.
An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that
generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation
hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we
cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do
IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as
block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the
performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the
loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf
and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still
work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of
performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools
do.
Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on
a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with
sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production
ready, this is not a blocker.

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.

While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of
the VM it does provide us total free pages. This information should
be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather
than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim. Conceptually
this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos.
It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable
on a system. While the default values are expected to work well
for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed.
The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose.
zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave
as free memory on the system. This value can
checked in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats and
setting this module option will override the
default value.

Commit f521ce1 removed the minimum value for "arc_p" allowing it to
drop to zero or grow to "arc_c". This was done to improve specific
workload which constantly dirties new "metadata" but also frequently
touches a "small" amount of mfu data (e.g. mkdir's).
This change may still be desirable but it needs to be re-investigated.
in the context of the recent ARC changes from upstream. Therefore
this code is being restored to facilitate benchmarking. By setting
"zfs_arc_p_min_shift=64" we easily compare the performance.

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.
The following module parameters have been added:
zfs_arc_evict_batch_limit - Number of ARC headers to free per sub-list
before moving on to the next sub-list.
zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in
the ARC.
zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per
ARC state.
zfs_arc_overflow_shift - Controls amount by which the ARC must exceed
the target size to be considered "overflowing".

Porting Notes:
* Included in this patch is a tiny ISP2() cleanup in zio_init() from
Illumos 5255.
* Unlike the upstream Illumos commit this patch does not impose an
arbitrary 128K block size limit on volumes. 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.

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. This will make dnode meta data buffers
available for reclaim. The number of total restarts in limited by
zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts to prevent spinning in the rare case
where all meta data is pinned.

Issue #3160
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.

Porting notes:
Because support for exposing a uint64_t parameter wasn't added
until v3.17-rc1 the zfs_free_max_blocks variable has been declared
as a unsigned long. This is already far larger than required and
it allows us to avoid additional autoconf compatibility code.
The default value has been set to 100,000 on Linux instead of
ULONG_MAX which is used on Illumos. This was done to limit the
number of outstanding IOs in the system when snapshots are destroyed.
This helps ensure individual TXG sync times are kept reasonable and
memory isn't wasted managing a huge backlog of outstanding IOs.
