Ned Bass 184c687387 Emulate illumos interface cv_timedwait_hires()
Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity.  This
implementation rounds up to microsecond resolution, as nanosecond-
precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting.  usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.

Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires().  Specifically,

CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
    Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
    an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
    interpreted as the expiration time itself.

CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
    Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
    flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

Cyril Plisko ffbf0e57c2 Kstat to use private lock by default
While porting Illumos #3537 I found that ks_lock member of kstat_t
structure is different between Illumos and SPL. It is a pointer to
the kmutex_t in Illumos, but the mutex lock itself in SPL.
Apparently Illumos kstat API allows consumer to override the lock
if required. With SPL implementation it is not possible anymore.

Things were alright until the first attempt to actually override
the lock. Porting of Illumos #3537 introduced such code for the
first time.

In order to provide the Solaris/Illumos like functionality we:
  1. convert ks_lock to "kmutex_t *ks_lock"
  2. create a new field "kmutex_t ks_private_lock"
  3. On kstat_create() ks_lock = &ks_private_lock

Thus if consumer doesn't care we still have our internal lock in use.
If, however, consumer does care she has a chance to set ks_lock to
anything else before calling kstat_install().

The rest of the code will use ks_lock regardless of its origin.

Prakash Surya 56d40a686b Add callbacks for displaying KSTAT_TYPE_RAW kstats
The current implementation for displaying kstats of type KSTAT_TYPE_RAW
is rather crude. This patch attempts to enhance this handling by
allowing a kstat user to register formatting callbacks which can
optionally be used.

The callbacks allow the user to implement functions for interpreting
their data and transposing it into a character buffer. This buffer,
containing a string representation of the raw data, is then be displayed
through the current /proc textual interface.

Additionally the kstats are made writable because it's now possible
to provide a useful handler via the existing ks_update() interface.

Richard Yao f7fd6ddd96 Linux 3.8 compat: Use kuid_t/kgid_t when required
When CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is enabled uid_t/git_t are
replaced by kuid_t/kgid_t, which are structures instead of integral
types. This causes any code that uses an integral type to fail to build.
The User Namespace functionality introduced in Linux 3.8 requires
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS, so we could not build against any
kernel that supported it.

We resolve this by converting between the new kuid_t/kgid_t structures
and the original uid_t/gid_t types.

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 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 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.

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().

The buffer allocated in the ks_update() callback is guaranteed
to remain allocated and valid while the proc sequence handler
iterates over the buffer.  The lock will not be dropped until
kstat_seq_stop() function is run making it safe for concurrent
access.  To allow the ks_update() callback to perform memory
allocations the lock was changed to a mutex.

Etienne Dechamps bbdc6ae495 Add interface for file hole punching.
This adds an interface to "punch holes" (deallocate space) in VFS
files. The interface is identical to the Solaris VOP_SPACE interface.
This interface is necessary for TRIM support on file vdevs.

This is implemented using Linux fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), which
was introduced in 2.6.38. For a brief time before 2.6.38 this was done
using the truncate_range inode operation, which was quickly deprecated.
This patch only supports FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.

This adds support for the truncate_range() inode operation to
VOP_SPACE() for file hole punching. This API is deprecated and removed
in 3.5, so it's only useful for old kernels.

On tmpfs, the truncate_range() inode operation translates to
shmem_truncate_range(). Unfortunately, this function expects the end
offset to be inclusive and aligned to the end of a page. If it is not,
the kernel will stop with a BUG_ON().

This patch fixes the issue by adapting to the constraints set forth by
shmem_truncate_range().

Brian Behlendorf cd5ca4b2f8 Switch KM_SLEEP to KM_PUSHPAGE
Under certain circumstances the following functions may be called
in a context where KM_SLEEP is unsafe and can result in a deadlocked
system.  To avoid this problem the unconditional KM_SLEEPs are
converted to KM_PUSHPAGEs.  This will prevent them from attempting
to initiate any I/O during direct reclaim.

Brian Behlendorf 3e904f40b4 Mutex ASSERT on self deadlock
Generate an assertion if we're going to deadlock the system by
attempting to acquire a mutex the process is already holding.

There are currently no known instances of this under normal
operation, but it _might_ be possible when using a ZVOL as a
swap device.  I want to ensure we catch this immediately if it
were to occur.

Brian Behlendorf eb0f407a2b Add PF_NOFS debugging flag
PF_NOFS is a per-process debug flag which is set in current->flags to
detect when a process is performing an unsafe allocation.  All tasks
with PF_NOFS set must strictly use KM_PUSHPAGE for allocations because
if they enter direct reclaim and initiate I/O they may deadlock.

When debugging is disabled, any incorrect usage will be detected and
a call stack with a warning will be printed to the console.  The flags
will then be automatically corrected to allow for safe execution.  If
debugging is enabled this will be treated as a fatal condition.

To avoid any risk of conflicting with the existing PF_ flags.  The
PF_NOFS bit shadows the rarely used PF_MUTEX_TESTER bit.  Only when
CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER is not set, and we know this bit is unused,
will the PF_NOFS bit be valid.  Happily, most existing distributions
ship a kernel with CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER disabled.

Brian Behlendorf d47e664ad4 Revert "Add TASKQ_NORECLAIM flag"
This reverts commit 372c257233.  The
use of the PF_MEMALLOC flag was always a hack to work around memory
reclaim deadlocks.  Those issues are believed to be resolved so this
workaround can be safely reverted.

Brian Behlendorf e2dcc6e2b8 Emergency slab objects
This patch is designed to resolve a deadlock which can occur with
__vmalloc() based slabs.  The issue is that the Linux kernel does
not honor the flags passed to __vmalloc().  This makes it unsafe
to use in a writeback context.  Unfortunately, this is a use case
ZFS depends on for correct operation.

Fixing this issue in the upstream kernel was pursued and patches
are available which resolve the issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

However, these changes were rejected because upstream felt that
using __vmalloc() in the context of writeback should never be done.
Their solution was for us to rewrite parts of ZFS to accomidate
the Linux VM.

While that is probably the right long term solution, and it is
something we want to pursue, it is not a trivial task and will
likely destabilize the existing code.  This work has been planned
for the 0.7.0 release but in the meanwhile we want to improve the
SPL slab implementation to accomidate this expected ZFS usage.

This is accomplished by performing the __vmalloc() asynchronously
in the context of a work queue.  This doesn't prevent the posibility
of the worker thread from deadlocking.  However, the caller can now
safely block on a wait queue for the slab allocation to complete.

Normally this will occur in a reasonable amount of time and the
caller will be woken up when the new slab is available,.  The objects
will then get cached in the per-cpu magazines and everything will
proceed as usual.

However, if the __vmalloc() deadlocks for the reasons described
above, or is just very slow, then the callers on the wait queues
will timeout out.  When this rare situation occurs they will attempt
to kmalloc() a single minimally sized object using the GFP_NOIO flags.
This allocation will not deadlock because kmalloc() will honor the
passed flags and the caller will be able to make forward progress.

As long as forward progress can be maintained then even if the
worker thread is deadlocked the critical thread will make progress.
This will eventually allow the deadlocked worker thread to complete
and normal operation will resume.

These emergency allocations will likely be slow since they require
contiguous pages.  However, their use should be rare so the impact
is expected to be minimal.  If that turns out not to be the case in
practice further optimizations are possible.

One additional concern is if these emergency objects are long lived.
Right now they are simply tracked on a list which must be walked when
an object is freed.  Is they accumulate on a system and the list
grows freeing objects will become more expensive.  This could be
handled relatively easily by using a hash instead of a list, but that
optimization (if needed) is left for a follow up patch.

Additionally, these emeregency objects could be repacked in to existing
slabs as objects are freed if the kmem_cache_set_move() functionality
was implemented.  See issue https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/26
for full details.  This work would also help reduce ZFS's memory
fragmentation problems.

The /proc/spl/kmem/slab file has had two new columns added at the
end.  The 'emerg' column reports the current number of these emergency
objects in use for the cache, and the following 'max' column shows
the historical worst case.  These value should give us a good idea
of how often these objects are needed.  Based on these values under
real use cases we can tune the default behavior.

Lastly, as a side benefit using a single work queue for the slab
allocations should reduce cpu contention on the global virtual address
space lock.   This should manifest itself as reduced cpu usage for
the system.

Prakash Surya 08850eddcb Avoid calling smp_processor_id in spl_magazine_age
The spl_magazine_age function had the implied assumption that it will
remain on its current cpu through its execution. In order to support
preempt enabled kernels, this assumption had to be removed.

The spl_kmem_magazine structure now holds the cpu id of the cpu it is
local to. This allows spl_magazine_age to use this field when scheduling
work to be done by the magazine's local cpu.
