23bdb07d4e updated the ARC memory limits
to be 1/2 of memory or all but 4GB. Unfortunately, these values assume
zero internal fragmentation in the SLUB allocator, when in reality, the
internal fragmentation could be as high as 50%, effectively doubling
memory usage. This poses clear safety issues, because it permits the
size of ARC to exceed system memory.
This patch changes this so that the default value of arc_c_max is always
1/2 of system memory. This effectively limits the ARC to the memory that
the system has physically installed.

Under Solaris the ARC was designed to stay one step ahead of the
VM subsystem. It would attempt to recognize low memory situtions
before they occured and evict data from the cache. It would also
make assessments about if there was enough free memory to perform
a specific operation.
This was all possible because Solaris exposes a fairly decent
view of the memory state of the system to other kernel threads.
Linux on the other hand does not make this information easily
available. To avoid extensive modifications to the ARC the SPL
attempts to provide these same interfaces. While this works it
is not ideal and problems can arise when the ARC and Linux have
different ideas about when your out of memory. This has manifested
itself in the past as a spinning arc_reclaim_thread.
This patch abandons the emulated Solaris interfaces in favor of
the prefered Linux interface. That means moving the bulk of the
memory reclaim logic out of the arc_reclaim_thread and in to the
evict driven shrinker callback. The Linux VM will call this
function when it needs memory. The ARC is then responsible for
attempting to free the requested amount of memory if possible.
Several interfaces have been modified to accomidate this approach,
however the basic user space implementation remains the same.
The following changes almost exclusively just apply to the kernel
implementation.
* Removed the hdr_recl() reclaim callback which is redundant
with the broader arc_shrinker_func().
* Reduced arc_grow_retry to 5 seconds from 60. This is now used
internally in the ARC with arc_no_grow to indicate that direct
reclaim was recently performed. This typically indicates a
rapid change in memory demands which the kswapd threads were
unable to keep ahead of. As long as direct reclaim is happening
once every 5 seconds arc growth will be paused to avoid further
contributing to the existing memory pressure. The more common
indirect reclaim paths will not set arc_no_grow.
* arc_shrink() has been extended to take the number of bytes by
which arc_c should be reduced. This allows for a more granual
reduction of the arc target. Since the kernel provides a
reclaim value to the arc_shrinker_func() this value is used
instead of 1<<arc_shrink_shift.
* arc_reclaim_needed() has been removed. It was used to determine
if the system was under memory pressure and relied extensively
on Solaris specific VM interfaces. In most case the new code
just checks arc_no_grow which indicates that within the last
arc_grow_retry seconds direct memory reclaim occurred.
* arc_memory_throttle() has been updated to always include the
amount of evictable memory (arc and page cache) in its free
space calculations. This space is largely available in most
call paths due to direct memory reclaim.
* The Solaris pageout code was also removed to avoid confusion.
It has always been disabled due to proc_pageout being defined
as NULL in the Linux port.

the d_automount patches.
*) Creating/destroying/renaming snapshots with mkdir/rmdir/mv
in the .zfs/snapshot directory works as expected. However,
this functionality is only available to root until zfs
delegations are finished.
* mkdir - create a snapshot
* rmdir - destroy a snapshot
* mv - rename a snapshot
The following issues are known defeciences, but we expect them to
be addressed by future commits.
*) Add automount support for kernels older the 2.6.37. This should
be possible using follow_link() which is what Linux did before.
*) Accessing the .zfs/snapshot directory via NFS is not yet possible.
The majority of the ground work for this is complete. However,
finishing this work will require resolving some lingering

Some devices have exhibited sensitivity to the ending alignment of
partitions. In particular, even if the first partition begins at 1
MiB, we have seen many sd driver task abort errors with certain SSDs
if the first partition doesn't end on a 1 MiB boundary. This occurs
when the vdev label is read during pool creation or importation and
causes a delay of about 30 seconds per device. It can also be
simulated with dd when the pool isn't imported:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=262144 count=1
For the record, this problem was observed with SMARTMOD
SG9XCA2E200GE01 200GB SSDs. Unfortunately I don't have a good
explanation for this behavior. It seems to have something to do with
highly fragmented single-sector requests being issued to the device,
which it may not support. With end-aligned partitions at least
page-sized requests were queued and issued to the driver according
to blktrace. In any case, aligning the partition end is a fairly
innocuous work-around, wasting at most 1 MiB of space.

A private SA handle must be used to ensure we can drop the dbuf
hold on the spill block prior to calling dmu_tx_commit(). If we
call dmu_tx_commit() before sa_handle_destroy(), then our hold
will trigger a copy of the dbuf to be made. This is done to
prevent data from leaking in to the syncing txg. As a result
the original dirty spill block will remain cached.
Additionally, relying on the shared zp->z_sa_hdl is unsafe in
the xattr context because the znode may be asynchronously dropped
from the cache. It's far safer and simpler just to use a private
handle for xattrs. Plus any additional overhead is offset by
the avoidance of the previously mentioned memory copy.
These forever dirty buffers can be noticed in the arcstats under
the anon_size. On a quiescent system the value should be zero.
Without this fix and a SA xattr write workload you will see
anon_size increase. Eventually, if enough dirty data builds up
your system it will appear to hang. This occurs because the dmu
won't allow new txs to be assigned until that dirty data is
flushed, and it won't be because it's not part of an assigned tx.
As an aside, I typically see anon_size lurk around 16k so I think
there is another place in the code which needs a similar fix.
However, this value doesn't grow over time so it isn't critical.

When creating a new pool, make_root_vdev() calls check_in_use() to
ensure that none of the consituent disks are in use. If the disk
contains a valid vdev label it is read to retrieve the list of its
child vdevs and these are checked recursively. However, the
partitions stored in the vdev label my no longer exist, for example
if the partition table has since been altered. In any such case we
would want the pool creation to proceed, so this change removes the
check from check_slice() that returns an error if the device doesn't
exist. As an added assurance, the Solaris implementation also
returns sucess on ENOENT.

DISCARD (REQ_DISCARD, BLKDISCARD) is useful for thin provisioning.
It allows ZVOL clients to discard (unmap, trim) block ranges from
a ZVOL, thus optimizing disk space usage by allowing a ZVOL to
shrink instead of just grow.
We can't use zfs_space() or zfs_freesp() here, since these functions
only work on regular files, not volumes. Fortunately we can use the
low-level function dmu_free_long_range() which does exactly what we
want.
Currently the discard operation is not added to the log. That's not
a big deal since losing discard requests cannot result in data
corruption. It would however result in disk space usage higher than
it should be. Thus adding log support to zvol_discard() is probably
a good idea for a future improvement.
