This commit tackles a number of issues in the way BIOs (`struct bio`)
are constructed for submission to the Linux block layer.
The kernel has a hard upper limit on the number of pages/segments that
can be added to a BIO, as well as a separate limit for each device
(related to its queue depth and other scheduling characteristics).
ZFS counts the number of memory pages in the request ABD
(`abd_nr_pages_off()`, and then uses that as the number of segments to
put into the BIO, up to the hard upper limit. If it requires more than
the limit, it will create multiple BIOs.
Leaving aside the fact that page count method is wrong (see below), not
limiting to the device segment max means that the device driver will
need to split the BIO in half. This is alone is not necessarily a
problem, but it interacts with another issue to cause a much larger
problem.
The kernel function to add a segment to a BIO (`bio_add_page()`) takes a
`struct page` pointer, and offset+len within it. `struct page` can
represent a run of contiguous memory pages (known as a "compound page").
In can be of arbitrary length.
The ZFS functions that count ABD pages and load them into the BIO
(`abd_nr_pages_off()`, `bio_map()` and `abd_bio_map_off()`) will never
consider a page to be more than `PAGE_SIZE` (4K), even if the `struct
page` is for multiple pages. In this case, it will load the same `struct
page` into the BIO multiple times, with the offset adjusted each time.
With a sufficiently large ABD, this can easily lead to the BIO being
entirely filled much earlier than it could have been. This is also
further contributes to the problem caused by the incorrect segment limit
calculation, as its much easier to go past the device limit, and so
require a split.
Again, this is not a problem on its own.
The logic for "never submit more than `PAGE_SIZE`" is actually a little
more subtle. It will actually never submit a buffer that crosses a 4K
page boundary.
In practice, this is fine, as most ABDs are scattered, that is a list of
complete 4K pages, and so are loaded in as such.
Linear ABDs are typically allocated from slabs, and for small sizes they
are frequently not aligned to page boundaries. For example, a 12K
allocation can span four pages, eg:
-- 4K -- -- 4K -- -- 4K -- -- 4K --
| | | | |
:## ######## ######## ######: [1K, 4K, 4K, 3K]
Such an allocation would be loaded into a BIO as you see:
[1K, 4K, 4K, 3K]
This tends not to be a problem in practice, because even if the BIO were
filled and needed to be split, each half would still have either a start
or end aligned to the logical block size of the device (assuming 4K at
least).
---
In ideal circumstances, these shortcomings don't cause any particular
problems. Its when they start to interact with other ZFS features that
things get interesting.
Aggregation will create a "gang" ABD, which is simply a list of other
ABDs. Iterating over a gang ABD is just iterating over each ABD within
it in turn.
Because the segments are simply loaded in order, we can end up with
uneven segments either side of the "gap" between the two ABDs. For
example, two 12K ABDs might be aggregated and then loaded as:
[1K, 4K, 4K, 3K, 2K, 4K, 4K, 2K]
Should a split occur, each individual BIO can end up either having an
start or end offset that is not aligned to the logical block size, which
some drivers (eg SCSI) will reject. However, this tends not to happen
because the default aggregation limit usually keeps the BIO small enough
to not require more than one split, and most pages are actually full 4K
pages, so hitting an uneven gap is very rare anyway.
If the pool is under particular memory pressure, then an IO can be
broken down into a "gang block", a 512-byte block composed of a header
and up to three block pointers. Each points to a fragment of the
original write, or in turn, another gang block, breaking the original
data up over and over until space can be found in the pool for each of
them.
Each gang header is a separate 512-byte memory allocation from a slab,
that needs to be written down to disk. When the gang header is added to
the BIO, its a single 512-byte segment.
Pulling all this together, consider a large aggregated write of gang
blocks. This results a BIO containing lots of 512-byte segments. Given
our tendency to overfill the BIO, a split is likely, and most possible
split points will yield a pair of BIOs that are misaligned. Drivers that
care, like the SCSI driver, will reject them.
---
This commit is a substantial refactor and rewrite of much of `vdev_disk`
to sort all this out.
`vdev_bio_max_segs()` now returns the ideal maximum size for the device,
if available. There's also a tuneable `zfs_vdev_disk_max_segs` to
override this, to assist with testing.
We scan the ABD up front to count the number of pages within it, and to
confirm that if we submitted all those pages to one or more BIOs, it
could be split at any point with creating a misaligned BIO. If the
pages in the BIO are not usable (as in any of the above situations), the
ABD is linearised, and then checked again. This is the same technique
used in `vdev_geom` on FreeBSD, adjusted for Linux's variable page size
and allocator quirks.
`vbio_t` is a cleanup and enhancement of the old `dio_request_t`. The
idea is simply that it can hold all the state needed to create, submit
and return multiple BIOs, including all the refcounts, the ABD copy if
it was needed, and so on. Apart from what I hope is a clearer interface,
the major difference is that because we know how many BIOs we'll need up
front, we don't need the old overflow logic that would grow the BIO
array, throw away all the old work and restart. We can get it right from
the start.

On Linux the ioctl_ficlonerange() and ioctl_ficlone() system calls
are expected to either fully clone the specified range or return an
error. The range may be for an entire file. While internally ZFS
supports cloning partial ranges there's no way to return the length
cloned to the caller so we need to make this all or nothing.
As part of this change support for the REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN flag
has been added. When REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN is set zfs_clone_range()
will return a shortened range when encountering pending dirty records.
When it's clear zfs_clone_range() will block and wait for the records
to be written out allowing the blocks to be cloned.
Furthermore, the file range lock is held over the region being cloned
to prevent it from being modified while cloning. This doesn't quite
provide an atomic semantics since if an error is encountered only a
portion of the range may be cloned. This will be converted to an
error if REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN was not provided and returned to the
caller. However, the destination file range is left in an undefined
state.
A test case has been added which exercises this functionality by
verifying that `cp --reflink=never|auto|always` works correctly.

We are finding that as customers get larger and faster machines
(hundreds of cores, large NVMe-backed pools) they keep hitting
relatively low performance ceilings. Our profiling work almost always
finds that they're running into bottlenecks on the SPA IO taskqs.
Unfortunately there's often little we can advise at that point, because
there's very few ways to change behaviour without patching.
This commit adds two load-time parameters `zio_taskq_read` and
`zio_taskq_write` that can configure the READ and WRITE IO taskqs
directly.
This achieves two goals: it gives operators (and those that support
them) a way to tune things without requiring a custom build of OpenZFS,
which is often not possible, and it lets us easily try different config
variations in a variety of environments to inform the development of
better defaults for these kind of systems.
Because tuning the IO taskqs really requires a fairly deep understanding
of how IO in ZFS works, and generally isn't needed without a pretty
serious workload and an ability to identify bottlenecks, only minimal
documentation is provided. Its expected that anyone using this is going
to have the source code there as well.

This feature allows disks to be added one at a time to a RAID-Z group,
expanding its capacity incrementally. This feature is especially useful
for small pools (typically with only one RAID-Z group), where there
isn't sufficient hardware to add capacity by adding a whole new RAID-Z
group (typically doubling the number of disks).
== Initiating expansion ==
A new device (disk) can be attached to an existing RAIDZ vdev, by
running `zpool attach POOL raidzP-N NEW_DEVICE`, e.g. `zpool attach tank
raidz2-0 sda`. The new device will become part of the RAIDZ group. A
"raidz expansion" will be initiated, and the new device will contribute
additional space to the RAIDZ group once the expansion completes.
The `feature@raidz_expansion` on-disk feature flag must be `enabled` to
initiate an expansion, and it remains `active` for the life of the pool.
In other words, pools with expanded RAIDZ vdevs can not be imported by
older releases of the ZFS software.
== During expansion ==
The expansion entails reading all allocated space from existing disks in
the RAIDZ group, and rewriting it to the new disks in the RAIDZ group
(including the newly added device).
The expansion progress can be monitored with `zpool status`.
Data redundancy is maintained during (and after) the expansion. If a
disk fails while the expansion is in progress, the expansion pauses
until the health of the RAIDZ vdev is restored (e.g. by replacing the
failed disk and waiting for reconstruction to complete).
The pool remains accessible during expansion. Following a reboot or
export/import, the expansion resumes where it left off.
== After expansion ==
When the expansion completes, the additional space is available for use,
and is reflected in the `available` zfs property (as seen in `zfs list`,
`df`, etc).
Expansion does not change the number of failures that can be tolerated
without data loss (e.g. a RAIDZ2 is still a RAIDZ2 even after
expansion).
A RAIDZ vdev can be expanded multiple times.
After the expansion completes, old blocks remain with their old
data-to-parity ratio (e.g. 5-wide RAIDZ2, has 3 data to 2 parity), but
distributed among the larger set of disks. New blocks will be written
with the new data-to-parity ratio (e.g. a 5-wide RAIDZ2 which has been
expanded once to 6-wide, has 4 data to 2 parity). However, the RAIDZ
vdev's "assumed parity ratio" does not change, so slightly less space
than is expected may be reported for newly-written blocks, according to
`zfs list`, `df`, `ls -s`, and similar tools.

As part of transaction group commit, dsl_pool_sync() sequentially calls
dsl_dataset_sync() for each dirty dataset, which subsequently calls
dmu_objset_sync(). dmu_objset_sync() in turn uses up to 75% of CPU
cores to run sync_dnodes_task() in taskq threads to sync the dirty
dnodes (files).
There are two problems:
1. Each ZVOL in a pool is a separate dataset/objset having a single
dnode. This means the objsets are synchronized serially, which
leads to a bottleneck of ~330K blocks written per second per pool.
2. In the case of multiple dirty dnodes/files on a dataset/objset on a
big system they will be sync'd in parallel taskq threads. However,
it is inefficient to to use 75% of CPU cores of a big system to do
that, because of (a) bottlenecks on a single write issue taskq, and
(b) allocation throttling. In addition, if not for the allocation
throttling sorting write requests by bookmarks (logical address),
writes for different files may reach space allocators interleaved,
leading to unwanted fragmentation.
The solution to both problems is to always sync no more and (if
possible) no fewer dnodes at the same time than there are allocators
the pool.

Traditionally ARC adaptation was limited to MRU/MFU distribution. But
for years people with metadata-centric workload demanded mechanisms to
also manage data/metadata distribution, that in original ZFS was just
a FIFO. As result ZFS effectively got separate states for data and
metadata, minimum and maximum metadata limits etc, but it all required
manual tuning, was not adaptive and in its heart remained a bad FIFO.
This change removes most of existing eviction logic, rewriting it from
scratch. This makes MRU/MFU adaptation individual for data and meta-
data, same as the distribution between data and metadata themselves.
Since most of required states separation was already done, it only
required to make arcs_size state field specific per data/metadata.
The adaptation logic is still based on previous concept of ghost hits,
just now it balances ARC capacity between 4 states: MRU data, MRU
metadata, MFU data and MFU metadata. To simplify arc_c changes instead
of arc_p measured in bytes, this code uses 3 variable arc_meta, arc_pd
and arc_pm, representing ARC balance between metadata and data, MRU and
MFU for data, and MRU and MFU for metadata respectively as 32-bit fixed
point fractions. Since we care about the math result only when need to
evict, this moves all the logic from arc_adapt() to arc_evict(), that
reduces per-block overhead, since per-block operations are limited to
stats collection, now moved from arc_adapt() to arc_access() and using
cheaper wmsums. This also allows to remove ugly ARC_HDR_DO_ADAPT flag
from many places.
This change also removes number of metadata specific tunables, part of

are equal and some (like L2ARC headers) are not really evictable.
Instead it introduced single opaque knob zfs_arc_meta_balance, tuning
ARC's reaction on ghost hits, allowing administrator give more or less
preference to metadata without setting strict limits.
Some of old code parts like arc_evict_meta() are just removed, because
since introduction of ABD ARC they really make no sense: only headers
referenced by small number of buffers are not evictable, and they are
really not evictable no matter what this code do. Instead just call
arc_prune_async() if too much metadata appear not evictable.

For HDD based pools the default zfs_scan_vdev_limit of 4M
per-vdev can significantly limit the maximum scrub performance.
Increasing the default to 16M can double the scrub speed from
80 MB/s per disk to 160 MB/s per disk.
This does increase the memory footprint during scrub/resilver
but given the performance win this is a reasonable trade off.
Memory usage is capped at 1/4 of arc_c_max. Note that number
of outstanding I/Os has not changed and is still limited by
zfs_vdev_scrub_max_active.

When resilvering the estimated time remaining is calculated using
the average issue rate over the current pass. Where the current
pass starts when a scan was started, or restarted, if the pool
was exported/imported.
For dRAID pools in particular this can result in wildly optimistic
estimates since the issue rate will be very high while scanning
when non-degraded regions of the pool are scanned. Once repair
I/O starts being issued performance drops to a realistic number
but the estimated performance is still significantly skewed.
To address this we redefine a pass such that it starts after a
scanning phase completes so the issue rate is more reflective of
recent performance. Additionally, the zfs_scan_report_txgs
module option can be set to reset the pass statistics more often.

Despite all optimizations, tests on actual hardware show that FreeBSD
kernel can't sleep for less then ~2us. Similar tests on Linux show
~50us delay at least from nanosleep() (haven't tested inside kernel).
It means that on very fast log device ZIL may not be able to satisfy
zfs_commit_timeout_pct block commit timeout, increasing log latency
more than desired.
Handle that by introduction of zil_min_commit_timeout parameter,
specifying minimal timeout value where additional delays to aggregate
writes may be skipped. Also skip delays if the LWB is more than 7/8
full, that often happens if I/O sizes are constant and match one of
LWB sizes. Both things are applied only if there were no already
outstanding log blocks, that may indicate single-threaded workload,
that by definition can not benefit from the commit delays.
While there, add short time moving average to zl_last_lwb_latency to
make it more stable.
Tests of single-threaded 4KB writes to NVDIMM SLOG on FreeBSD show IOPS
increase by 9% instead of expected 5%. For zfs_commit_timeout_pct of
1 there IOPS increase by 5.5% instead of expected 1%.

Various module parameters such as `zfs_arc_max` were originally
`uint64_t` on OpenSolaris/Illumos, but were changed to `unsigned long`
for Linux compatibility because Linux's kernel default module parameter
implementation did not support 64-bit types on 32-bit platforms. This
caused problems when porting OpenZFS to Windows because its LLP64 memory
model made `unsigned long` a 32-bit type on 64-bit, which created the
undesireable situation that parameters that should accept 64-bit values
could not on 64-bit Windows.
Upon inspection, it turns out that the Linux kernel module parameter
interface is extensible, such that we are allowed to define our own
types. Rather than maintaining the original type change via hacks to to
continue shrinking module parameters on 32-bit Linux, we implement
support for 64-bit module parameters on Linux.
After doing a review of all 64-bit kernel parameters (found via the man
page and also proposed changes by Andrew Innes), the kernel module
parameters fell into a few groups:
Parameters that were originally 64-bit on Illumos:
* dbuf_cache_max_bytes
* dbuf_metadata_cache_max_bytes
* l2arc_feed_min_ms
* l2arc_feed_secs
* l2arc_headroom
* l2arc_headroom_boost
* l2arc_write_boost
* l2arc_write_max
* metaslab_aliquot
* metaslab_force_ganging
* zfetch_array_rd_sz
* zfs_arc_max
* zfs_arc_meta_limit
* zfs_arc_meta_min
* zfs_arc_min
* zfs_async_block_max_blocks
* zfs_condense_max_obsolete_bytes
* zfs_condense_min_mapping_bytes
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms
* zfs_deadman_synctime_ms
* zfs_initialize_chunk_size
* zfs_initialize_value
* zfs_lua_max_instrlimit
* zfs_lua_max_memlimit
* zil_slog_bulk
Parameters that were originally 32-bit on Illumos:
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
Parameters that were originally `ssize_t` on Illumos:
* zfs_immediate_write_sz
Note that `ssize_t` is `int32_t` on 32-bit and `int64_t` on 64-bit. It
has been upgraded to 64-bit.
Parameters that were `long`/`unsigned long` because of Linux/FreeBSD
influence:
* l2arc_rebuild_blocks_min_l2size
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zfs_max_log_walking
* zfs_max_logsm_summary_length
* zfs_metaslab_max_size_cache_sec
* zfs_min_metaslabs_to_flush
* zfs_multihost_interval
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_max
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_min
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_amt
* zfs_unflushed_max_mem_ppm
New parameters that do not exist in Illumos:
* l2arc_trim_ahead
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_sys_free
* zfs_deadman_ziotime_ms
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_history_output_max
* zfs_livelist_max_entries
* zfs_max_async_dedup_frees
* zfs_max_nvlist_src_size
* zfs_rebuild_max_segment
* zfs_rebuild_vdev_limit
* zfs_unflushed_log_txg_max
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
Rather than clutter the lists with commentary, the module parameters
that need comments are repeated below.
A few parameters were defined in Linux/FreeBSD specific code, where the
use of ulong/long is not an issue for portability, so we leave them
alone:
* zfs_delete_blocks
* zfs_key_max_salt_uses
* zvol_max_discard_blocks
The documentation for a few parameters was found to be incorrect:
* zfs_deadman_checktime_ms - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_delete_blocks - not documented as Linux only
* zfs_history_output_max - incorrectly documented as int
* zfs_vnops_read_chunk_size - incorrectly documented as long
* zvol_max_discard_blocks - incorrectly documented as ulong
The documentation for these has been fixed, alongside the changes to
document the switch to fixed width types.
In addition, several kernel module parameters were percentages or held
ashift values, so being 64-bit never made sense for them. They have been
downgraded to 32-bit:
* vdev_file_logical_ashift
* vdev_file_physical_ashift
* zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent
* zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent
* zfs_arc_meta_limit_percent
* zfs_per_txg_dirty_frees_percent
* zfs_unflushed_log_block_pct
* zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift
* zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift
Of special note are `zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift` and
`zfs_vdev_min_auto_ashift`, which were already defined as `uint64_t`,
and passed to the kernel as `ulong`. This is inherently buggy on big
endian 32-bit Linux, since the values would not be written to the
correct locations. 32-bit FreeBSD was unaffected because its sysctl code
correctly treated this as a `uint64_t`.
Lastly, a code comment suggests that `zfs_arc_sys_free` is
Linux-specific, but there is nothing to indicate to me that it is
Linux-specific. Nothing was done about that.

In #13871, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit_non_rotating and
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit being signed was pointed out as a possible
reason not to eliminate an unnecessary MAX(unsigned, 0) since the
unsigned value was assigned from them.
There is no reason for these module parameters to be signed and upon
inspection, it was found that there are a number of other module
parameters that are signed, but should not be, so we make them unsigned.
Making them unsigned made it clear that some other variables in the code
should also be unsigned, so we also make those unsigned. This prevents
users from setting negative values that could potentially cause bad
behaviors. It also makes the code slightly easier to understand.
Mostly module parameters that deal with timeouts, limits, bitshifts and
percentages are made unsigned by this. Any that are boolean are left
signed, since whether booleans should be considered signed or unsigned
does not matter.
Making zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent unsigned caused a
`zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent >= 0` check to become redundant, so it was
removed. Removing the check was also necessary to prevent a compiler
error from -Werror=type-limits.
Several end of line comments had to be moved to their own lines because
replacing int with uint_t caused us to exceed the 80 character limit
enforced by cstyle.pl.
The following were kept signed because they are passed to
taskq_create(), which expects signed values and modifying the
OpenSolaris/Illumos DDI is out of scope of this patch:
* metaslab_load_pct
* zfs_sync_taskq_batch_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_nthr_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_minalloc
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_maxalloc
* zfs_arc_prune_task_threads
Also, negative values in those parameters was found to be harmless.
The following were left signed because either negative values make
sense, or more analysis was needed to determine whether negative values
should be disallowed:
* zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold
* zfs_pd_bytes_max
* zfs_livelist_min_percent_shared
zfs_multihost_history was made static to be consistent with other
parameters.
A number of module parameters were marked as signed, but in reality
referenced unsigned variables. upgrade_errlog_limit is one of the
numerous examples. In the case of zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active, it was
already uint32_t, but zdb had an extern int declaration for it.
Interestingly, the documentation in zfs.4 was right for
upgrade_errlog_limit despite the module parameter being wrongly marked,
while the documentation for zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active (and friends)
was wrong. It was also wrong for zstd_abort_size, which was unsigned,
but was documented as signed.
Also, the documentation in zfs.4 incorrectly described the following
parameters as ulong when they were int:
* zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts
* zfs_override_estimate_recordsize
They are now uint_t as of this patch and thus the man page has been
updated to describe them as uint.
dbuf_state_index was left alone since it does nothing and perhaps should
be removed in another patch.
If any module parameters were missed, they were not found by `grep -r
'ZFS_MODULE_PARAM' | grep ', INT'`. I did find a few that grep missed,
but only because they were in files that had hits.
This patch intentionally did not attempt to address whether some of
these module parameters should be elevated to 64-bit parameters, because
the length of a long on 32-bit is 32-bit.
Lastly, it was pointed out during review that uint_t is a better match
for these variables than uint32_t because FreeBSD kernel parameter
definitions are designed for uint_t, whose bit width can change in
future memory models. As a result, we change the existing parameters
that are uint32_t to use uint_t.

We could unconditionally allocate a larger array for the locks
but it's wasteful, particularly for a low-memory system.
Instead, dynamically allocate the array of locks and scale
it based on total system memory.
Additionally, add a new `dbuf_mutex_cache_shift` module option
which can be used to override the hash lock array size. This is
disabled by default (dbuf_mutex_hash_shift=0) and can only be
set at module load time. The minimum target array size is set
to 8192, this matches the current constant value.
Note that the count of the dbuf hash table and count of the
mutex array were added to the /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbufstats
kstat.
Finally, this change removes the _KERNEL conditional checks.
These were not required since for the user space build there

When iterating through children physical ashifts for vdev, prefer
ones above the maximum logical ashift, that we can actually use,
but within the administrator defined maximum.
When selecting top-level vdev ashift, do not set it to the defined
maximum in case physical ashift is even higher, but just ignore one.
Using the maximum does not prevent misaligned writes, but reduces
space efficiency. Since ZFS tries to write data sequentially and
aggregates the writes, in many cases large misanigned writes may be
not as bad as the space penalty otherwise.
Allow internal physical ashifts for vdevs higher than SHIFT_MAX.
May be one day allocator or aggregation could benefit from that.
Reduce zfs_vdev_max_auto_ashift default from 16 (64KB) to 14 (16KB),
so that ZFS may still use bigger ashifts up to SHIFT_MAX (64KB),
but only if it really has to or explicitly told to, but not as an
"optimization".
There are some read-intensive NVMe SSDs that report Preferred Write
Alignment of 64KB, and attempt to build RAIDZ2 of those leads to a
space inefficiency that can't be justified. Instead these changes
make ZFS fall back to logical ashift of 12 (4KB) by default and
only warn user that it may be suboptimal for performance.

This implementation uses the blk-mq interfaces on 4.13 or newer

older BIO interfaces.
Note that you must set the `zvol_use_blk_mq` module param to
enable the blk-mq API. It is disabled by default.
In addition, this commit lets the zvol blk-mq layer process whole
`struct request` IOs at a time, rather than breaking them down

- Make prefetch distance adaptive: up to 4MB prefetch doubles for

the prefetch read does not complete in time to satisfy the demand.
My tests show that 4MB is sufficient for wide NVMe pool to saturate
single reader thread at 2.5GB/s, while new 64MB maximum allows the
same thread to reach 1.5GB/s on wide HDD pool. Further distance
increase may increase speed even more, but less dramatic and with
higher latency.
- Allow early reuse of inactive prefetch streams: streams that never
saw hits can be reused immediately if there is a demand, while others
can be reused after 1s of inactivity, starting with the oldest. After
2s of inactivity streams are deleted to free resources same as before.
This allows by several times increase strided read performance on HDD
pool in presence of simultaneous random reads, previously filling the
zfetch_max_streams limit for seconds and so blocking most of prefetch.
- Always issue intermediate indirect block reads with SYNC priority.
Each of those reads if delayed for longer may delay up to 1024 other
block prefetches, that may be not good for wide pools.
