If this is not done, and the pool has an ashift other than the default
(at the moment 9) then the following happens:
1) vdev_alloc() assigns the ashift of the pool to L2ARC device, but
upon export it is not stored anywhere
2) at the first import, vdev_open() sees an vdev_ashift() of 0 and
assigns the logical_ashift, which is 9
3) reading the contents of L2ARC, including the header fails
4) L2ARC buffers are not restored in ARC.

ARC code was many times significantly modified over the years, that
created significant amount of tangled and potentially broken code.
This should make arc_access()/arc_read() code some more readable.
- Decouple prefetch status tracking from b_refcnt. It made sense
originally, but became highly cryptic over the years. Move all the
logic into arc_access(). While there, clean up and comment state
transitions in arc_access(). Some transitions were weird IMO.
- Unify arc_access() calls to arc_read() instead of sometimes calling
it from arc_read_done(). To avoid extra state changes and checks add
one more b_refcnt for ARC_FLAG_IO_IN_PROGRESS.
- Reimplement ARC_FLAG_WAIT in case of ARC_FLAG_IO_IN_PROGRESS with
the same callback mechanism to not falsely account them as hits. Count
those as "iohits", an intermediate between "hits" and "misses". While
there, call read callbacks in original request order, that should be
good for fairness and random speculations/allocations/aggregations.
- Introduce additional statistic counters for prefetch, accounting
predictive vs prescient and hits vs iohits vs misses.
- Remove hash_lock argument from functions not needing it.
- Remove ARC_FLAG_PREDICTIVE_PREFETCH, since it should be opposite
to ARC_FLAG_PRESCIENT_PREFETCH if ARC_FLAG_PREFETCH is set. We may
wish to add ARC_FLAG_PRESCIENT_PREFETCH to few more places.
- Fix few false positive tests found in the process.

In l2arc_add_vdev() first decide whether the device is eligible for
L2ARC rebuild or whole device trim and then add it to the list of cache
devices. Otherwise l2arc_feed_thread() might already start writing on
the device invalidating previous content as l2ad_hand = l2ad_start.
However l2arc_rebuild_vdev() needs the device present in the cache
device list to figure out its l2arc_dev_t. Fix this by moving most of
l2arc_rebuild_vdev() in a new function l2arc_rebuild_dev() which does
not need to search in the cache device list.
In contrast to l2arc_add_vdev() we do not have to worry about
l2arc_feed_thread() invalidating previous content when onlining a
cache device. The device parameters (l2ad*) are not cleared when
offlining the device and writing new buffers will not invalidate
all previous content. In worst case only buffers that have not had
their log block written to the device will be lost.
Retire persist_l2arc_00{4,5,8} tests since they cover code already
covered by the remaining ones. Test persist_l2arc_006 is renamed to
persist_l2arc_004 and persist_l2arc_007 is renamed to persist_l2arc_005.
Fix a typo in persist_l2arc_004, and remove an assertion that is not
always true from l2arc_arcstats_pos. Also update an assertion in
persist_l2arc_005 and explain why in a comment.

The current l2_misses accounting behavior treats all reads to pools
without a configured l2arc as an l2arc miss, IFF there is at least
one other pool on the system which does have an l2arc configured.
This makes it extremely hard to tune for an improved l2arc hit/miss
ratio because this ratio will be modulated by reads from pools which
do not (and should not) have l2arc devices; its upper limit will
depend on the ratio of reads from l2arc'd pools and non-l2arc'd pools.
This PR prevents ARC reads affecting l2arc stats (n.b. l2_misses is
the only relevant one) where the target spa doesn't have an l2arc.
Includes new test - l2arc_l2miss_pos.ksh

Instead of relying on arbitrary timers after pool export/import or cache
device off/online rely on arcstats. This makes the L2ARC tests more

Currently the ARC state (MFU/MRU) of cached L2ARC buffer and their
content type is unknown. Knowing this information may prove beneficial
in adjusting the L2ARC caching policy.
This commit adds L2ARC arcstats that display the aligned size
(in bytes) of L2ARC buffers according to their content type
(data/metadata) and according to their ARC state (MRU/MFU or
prefetch). It also expands the existing evict_l2_eligible arcstat to
differentiate between MFU and MRU buffers.
L2ARC caches buffers from the MRU and MFU lists of ARC. Upon caching a
buffer, its ARC state (MRU/MFU) is stored in the L2 header
(b_arcs_state). The l2_m{f,r}u_asize arcstats reflect the aligned size
(in bytes) of L2ARC buffers according to their ARC state (based on
b_arcs_state). We also account for the case where an L2ARC and ARC
cached MRU or MRU_ghost buffer transitions to MFU. The l2_prefetch_asize
reflects the alinged size (in bytes) of L2ARC buffers that were cached
while they had the prefetch flag set in ARC. This is dynamically updated
as the prefetch flag of L2ARC buffers changes.
When buffers are evicted from ARC, if they are determined to be L2ARC
eligible then their logical size is recorded in
evict_l2_eligible_m{r,f}u arcstats according to their ARC state upon
eviction.
Persistent L2ARC:
When committing an L2ARC buffer to a log block (L2ARC metadata) its
b_arcs_state and prefetch flag is also stored. If the buffer changes
its arcstate or prefetch flag this is reflected in the above arcstats.
However, the L2ARC metadata cannot currently be updated to reflect this
change.
Example: L2ARC caches an MRU buffer. L2ARC metadata and arcstats count
this as an MRU buffer. The buffer transitions to MFU. The arcstats are
updated to reflect this. Upon pool re-import or on/offlining the L2ARC
device the arcstats are cleared and the buffer will now be counted as an
MRU buffer, as the L2ARC metadata were not updated.
Bug fix:
- If l2arc_noprefetch is set, arc_read_done clears the L2CACHE flag of
an ARC buffer. However, prefetches may be issued in a way that
arc_read_done() is bypassed. Instead, move the related code in
l2arc_write_eligible() to account for those cases too.
Also add a test and update manpages for l2arc_mfuonly module parameter,
and update the manpages and code comments for l2arc_noprefetch.
Move persist_l2arc tests to l2arc.
