Investigating influence of scrub (especially sequential) on random read
latency I've noticed that on some HDDs single 4KB read may take up to 4
seconds! Deeper investigation shown that many HDDs heavily prioritize
sequential reads even when those are submitted with queue depth of 1.
This patch addresses the latency from two sides:
- by using _min_active queue depths for non-interactive requests while
the interactive request(s) are active and few requests after;
- by throttling it further if no interactive requests has completed
while configured amount of non-interactive did.
While there, I've also modified vdev_queue_class_to_issue() to give
more chances to schedule at least _min_active requests to the lowest
priorities. It should reduce starvation if several non-interactive
processes are running same time with some interactive and I think should
make possible setting of zfs_vdev_max_active to as low as 1.
I've benchmarked this change with 4KB random reads from ZVOL with 16KB
block size on newly written non-fragmented pool. On fragmented pool I
also saw improvements, but not so dramatic. Below are log2 histograms
of the random read latency in milliseconds for different devices:

A common usage pattern for zgenhostid, including in the ZFS dracut
module, is running it as:
zgenhostid $(hostid)
However, zgenhostid only accepted hostid arguments greater than 0, which
meant that, when the output of hostid(1) was "00000000", zgenhostid
would error out, even though 0 is a possible return value for the
gethostid(3) function used by hostid(1):
- On current musl libc, gethostid(3) is a stub that always returns 0.
- On glibc, gethostid(3) will return 0 if /etc/hostid exists but is
smaller than 4 bytes.
In these cases, it makes more sense for zgenhostid to treat a value of 0
as other parts of the zfs codebase do, meaning that a hostid value
couldn't be determined; therefore, it should attempt to generate a
random value to write into /etc/hostid.
The manpage and usage output have been updated to reflect this.
Whitespace has also been fixed in the usage output.

The output of ZFS channel programs is logged on-disk in the zpool
history, and printed by `zpool history -i`. Channel programs can use
10MB of memory by default, and up to 100MB by using the `zfs program -m`
flag. Therefore their output can be up to some fraction of 100MB.
In addition to being somewhat wasteful of the limited space reserved for
the pool history (which for large pools is 1GB), in extreme cases this
can result in a failure of `ASSERT(length <= DMU_MAX_ACCESS);` in
`dmu_buf_hold_array_by_dnode()`.
This commit limits the output size that will be logged to 1MB. Larger
outputs will not be logged, instead a entry will be logged indicating

== Motivation and Context
The new vdev ashift optimization prevents the removal of devices when
a zfs configuration is comprised of disks which have different logical
and physical block sizes. This is caused because we set 'spa_min_ashift'
in vdev_open and then later call 'vdev_ashift_optimize'. This would
result in an inconsistency between spa's ashift calculations and that
of the top-level vdev.
In addition, the optimization logical ignores the overridden ashift
value that would be provided by '-o ashift=<val>'.
== Description
This change reworks the vdev ashift optimization so that it's only
set the first time the device is configured. It still allows the
physical and logical ahsift values to be set every time the device
is opened but those values are only consulted on first open.

Duplicate io and checksum ereport events can misrepresent that
things are worse than they seem. Ideally the zpool events and the
corresponding vdev stat error counts in a zpool status should be
for unique errors -- not the same error being counted over and over.
This can be demonstrated in a simple example. With a single bad
block in a datafile and just 5 reads of the file we end up with a
degraded vdev, even though there is only one unique error in the pool.
The proposed solution to the above issue, is to eliminate duplicates
when posting events and when updating vdev error stats. We now save
recent error events of interest when posting events so that we can
easily check for duplicates when posting an error.

Allow to rename file systems without remounting if it is possible.
It is possible for file systems with 'mountpoint' property set to
'legacy' or 'none' - we don't have to change mount directory for them.
Currently such file systems are unmounted on rename and not even
mounted back.
This introduces layering violation, as we need to update
'f_mntfromname' field in statfs structure related to mountpoint (for
the dataset we are renaming and all its children).
In my opinion it is worth it, as it allow to update FreeBSD in even
cleaner way - in ZFS-only configuration root file system is ZFS file
system with 'mountpoint' property set to 'legacy'. If root dataset is
named system/rootfs, we can snapshot it (system/rootfs@upgrade), clone
it (system/oldrootfs), update FreeBSD and if it doesn't boot we can
boot back from system/oldrootfs and rename it back to system/rootfs
while it is mounted as /. Before it was not possible, because
unmounting / was not possible.

Many modern devices use physical allocation units that are much
larger than the minimum logical allocation size accessible by
external commands. Two prevalent examples of this are 512e disk
drives (512b logical sector, 4K physical sector) and flash devices
(512b logical sector, 4K or larger allocation block size, and 128k
or larger erase block size). Operations that modify less than the
physical sector size result in a costly read-modify-write or garbage
collection sequence on these devices.
Simply exporting the true physical sector of the device to ZFS would
yield optimal performance, but has two serious drawbacks:
1. Existing pools created with devices that have different logical
and physical block sizes, but were configured to use the logical
block size (e.g. because the OS version used for pool construction
reported the logical block size instead of the physical block
size) will suddenly find that the vdev allocation size has
increased. This can be easily tolerated for active members of
the array, but ZFS would prevent replacement of a vdev with
another identical device because it now appears that the smaller
allocation size required by the pool is not supported by the new
device.
2. The device's physical block size may be too large to be supported
by ZFS. The optimal allocation size for the vdev may be quite
large. For example, a RAID controller may export a vdev that
requires read-modify-write cycles unless accessed using 64k
aligned/sized requests. ZFS currently has an 8k minimum block
size limit.
Reporting both the logical and physical allocation sizes for vdevs
solves these problems. A device may be used so long as the logical
block size is compatible with the configuration. By comparing the
logical and physical block sizes, new configurations can be optimized
and administrators can be notified of any existing pools that are
sub-optimal.
