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.

Current L2ARC write rate and headroom parameters are very conservative:
l2arc_write_max=8M and l2arc_headroom=2 (ie: a full L2ARC writes at
8 MB/s, scanning 16/32 MB of ARC tail each time; a warming L2ARC runs
at 2x these rates).
These values were selected 15+ years ago based on then-current SSDs
size, performance and endurance. Today we have multi-TB, fast and
cheap SSDs which can sustain much higher read/write rates.
For this reason, this patch increases l2arc_write_max to 32M and
l2arc_headroom to 8 (4x increase for both).

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.

Closes#15022
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.

The reason is the `zil_slog_bulk` variable. In `zil_lwb_write_open`,

Switch FIFO queues (SYNC/TRIM) and active queue of vdev queue from

for such a simple task. To change I/O priority without searching

To not check number of queued I/Os for each priority add vq_cqueued
bitmap to struct vdev_queue. Update it when adding/removing I/Os.
Make vq_cactive a separate array instead of struct vdev_queue_class
member. Together those allow to avoid lots of cache misses when
looking for work in vdev_queue_class_to_issue().
Introduce deadline of ~0.5s for LBA-sorted queues. Before this I
saw some I/Os waiting in a queue for up to 8 seconds and possibly
more due to starvation. With this change I no longer see it. I
had to slightly more complicate the comparison function, but since
it uses all the same cache lines the difference is minimal. For a
sequential I/Os the new code in vdev_queue_io_to_issue() actually
often uses more simple avl_first(), falling back to avl_find() and
avl_nearest() only when needed.
Arrange members in struct zio to access only one cache line when
searching through vdev queues. While there, remove io_alloc_node,
reusing the io_queue_node instead. Those two are never used same

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
which were actually not functioning correctly, since not all metadata
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.

pass starts when a scan was started, or restarted, if the pool

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

recent performance. Additionally, the zfs_scan_report_txgs

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

Linux defaults to setting "failfast" on BIOs, so that the OS will not
retry IOs that fail, and instead report the error to ZFS.
In some cases, such as errors reported by the HBA driver, not
the device itself, we would wish to retry rather than generating
vdev errors in ZFS. This new property allows that.
This introduces a per vdev option to disable the failfast option.
This also introduces a global module parameter to define the failfast
mask value.

The quota for ZVOLs is set to the size of the volume. When the quota
reaches the maximum, there isn't an excellent way to check if the new
writers are overwriting the data or if they are inserting a new one.
Because of that, when we reach the maximum quota, we wait till txg is
flushed. This is causing a significant fluctuation in bandwidth.
In the case of ZVOL, the quota is enforced by the volsize, so we
can omit it.
This commit adds a sysctl thats allow to control if the quota mechanism
should be enforced or not.

Some of our customers have been occasionally hitting zfs import failures
in Linux because udevd doesn't create the by-id symbolic links in time
for zpool import to use them. The main issue is that the
systemd-udev-settle.service that zfs-import-cache.service and other
services depend on is racy. There is also an openzfs issue filed (see
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10891) outlining the problem and
potential solutions.
With the proper solutions being significant in terms of complexity and
the priority of the issue being low for the time being, this patch
exposes `zfs_vdev_open_timeout_ms` as a tunable so people that are
experiencing this issue often can increase it as a workaround.

Closes#14133
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.

Incorrectly sizing the array of hash locks used to protect the
dbuf hash table can lead to contention and reduce performance.
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
is no difference between the kmem and vmem interfaces.

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.

Add support for the kernel's block multiqueue (blk-mq) interface in
the zvol block driver. blk-mq creates multiple request queues on
different CPUs rather than having a single request queue. This can
improve zvol performance with multithreaded reads/writes.
This implementation uses the blk-mq interfaces on 4.13 or newer
kernels. Building against older kernels will fall back to the
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
into their individual BIOs. This reduces dbuf lock contention
and overhead versus the legacy zvol submit_bio() codepath.
sequential dd to one zvol, 8k volblocksize, no O_DIRECT:

It also introduces a new `zvol_blk_mq_chunks_per_thread` module
parameter. This parameter represents how many volblocksize'd chunks
to process per each zvol thread. It can be used to tune your zvols
for better read vs write performance (higher values favor write,
lower favor read).

- Make prefetch distance adaptive: up to 4MB prefetch doubles for
every, hit same as before, but after that it grows by 1/8 every time
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.
