The main complication from the RT patch set is that the RW semaphore
locks change such that read locks on an rwsem can be taken only by
a single thread. All other threads are locked out. This single
thread can take a read lock multiple times though. The underlying
implementation changes to a mutex with an additional read_depth
count.
The implementation can be best understood by inspecting the RT
patch. rwsem_rt.h and rt.c give the best insight into how RT
rwsem works. My implementation for rwsem_tryupgrade is basically
an inversion of rt_downgrade_write found in rt.c. Please see the
comments in the code.
Unfortunately, I have to drop SPLAT rwlock test4 completely as this
test tries to take multiple locks from different threads, which RT
rwsems do not support. Otherwise SPLAT, zconfig.sh, zpios-sanity.sh
and zfs-tests.sh pass on my Debian-testing VM with the kernel
linux-image-4.8.0-1-rt-amd64.

This implementation of rw_tryupgrade() behaves slightly differently
from its counterparts on other platforms. It drops the RW_READER lock
and then acquires the RW_WRITER lock leaving a small window where no
lock is held. On other platforms the lock is never released during
the upgrade process. This is necessary under Linux because the kernel
does not provide an upgrade function.
There are currently no callers in the ZFS code where this change in
behavior is a problem. In fact, in most cases the code is already
written such that if the upgrade fails the RW_READER lock is dropped
and the caller blocks waiting to acquire the lock as RW_WRITER.

Perf profiling of dd on a zvol revealed that my system spent 3.16% of
its time in random_get_pseudo_bytes(). No SPL consumers need
cryptographic strength entropy, so we can reduce our overhead by
changing the implementation to utilize a fast PRNG.
The Linux kernel did not export a suitable PRNG function until it
exported get_random_int() in Linux 3.10. While we could implement an
autotools check so that we use it when it is available or even try to
access the symbol on older kernels where it is not exported using the
fact that it is exported on newer ones as justification, we can instead
implement our own pseudo-random data generator. For this purpose, I have
written one based on a 128-bit pseudo-random number generator proposed
in a paper by Sebastiano Vigna that itself was based on work by the late
George Marsaglia.
http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/xorshiftplus.pdf
Profiling the same benchmark with an earlier variant of this patch that
used a slightly different generator (roughly same number of
instructions) by the same author showed that time spent in
random_get_pseudo_bytes() dropped to 0.06%. That is a factor of 50
improvement. This particular generator algorithm is also well known to
be fast:
http://xorshift.di.unimi.it/#speed
The benchmark numbers there state that it runs at 1.12ns/64-bits or 7.14
GBps of throughput on an Intel Core i7-4770 in what is presumably a
single-threaded context. Using it in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()` in the
manner I have will probably not reach that level of performance, but it
should be fairly high and many times higher than the Linux
`get_random_bytes()` function that we use now, which runs at 16.3 MB/s
on my Intel Xeon E3-1276v3 processor when measured by using dd on
/dev/urandom.
Also, putting this generator's seed into per-CPU variables allows us to
eliminate overhead from both spin locks and CPU memory barriers, which
is NUMA friendly.
We could have alternatively modified consumers to use something like
`gethrtime() % 3` as suggested by both Matthew Ahrens and Tim Chase, but
that has a few potential problems that this approach avoids:
1. Switching to `gethrtime() % 3` in hot code paths today requires
diverging from illumos-gate and does nothing about potential future
patches from illumos-gate that call our slow `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
in different hot code paths. Reimplementing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
with a per-CPU PRNG avoids both of those things entirely, which means
less work for us in the future.
2. Looking at the code that implements `gethrtime()`, I think it is
unlikely to be faster than this per-CPU PRNG implementation of
`random_get_pseudo_bytes()`. It would be best to go with something fast
now so that there is no point in revisiting this from a performance
perspective.
3. `gethrtime() % 3` can vary in behavior from system to system based on
kernel version, architecture and clock source. In comparison, this
per-CPU PRNG is about ~40 lines of code in `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
that should behave consistently across all systems regardless of kernel
version, system architecture or machine clock source. It is unlikely
that we would ever need to revisit this per-CPU PRNG while the same
cannot be said for `gethrtime() % 3`.
4. `gethrtime()` uses CPU memory barriers and maybe atomic instructions
depending on the clock source, so replacing `random_get_pseudo_bytes()`
with `gethrtime()` in hot code paths could still require a future person
working on NUMA scalability to reimplement it anyway while this per-CPU
PRNG would not by virtue of using neither CPU memory barriers nor atomic
instructions. Note that I did not check various clock sources for the
presence of atomic instructions. There is simply too much code to read
and given the drawbacks versus this per-cpu PRNG, there is no point in
being certain.
5. I have heard of instances where poor quality pseudo-random numbers
caused problems for HPC code in ways that took more than a year to
identify and were remedied by switching to a higher quality source of
pseudo-random numbers. While filesystems are different than HPC code, I
do not think it is impossible for us to have instances where poor
quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems. Opting for a well
studied PRNG algorithm that passes tests for statistical randomness over
changing callers to use `gethrtime() % 3` bypasses the need to think
about both whether poor quality pseudo-random numbers can cause problems
and the statistical quality of numbers from `gethrtime() % 3`.
6. `gethrtime()` calls `getrawmonotonic()`, which uses seqlocks. This is
probably not a huge issue, but anyone using kgdb would never be able to
step through a seqlock critical section, which is not a problem either
now or with the per-CPU PRNG:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seqlock
The only downside that I can see is that this code's memory requirement
is O(N) where N is NR_CPUS, versus the current code and `gethrtime() %
3`, which are O(1), but that should not be a problem. The seeds will use
64KB of memory at the high end (i.e `NR_CPU == 4096`) and 16 bytes of
memory at the low end (i.e. `NR_CPU == 1`). In either case, we should
only use a few hundred bytes of code for text, especially since
`spl_rand_jump()` should be inlined into `spl_random_init()`, which
should be removed during early boot as part of "Freeing unused kernel
memory". In either case, the memory requirements are minuscule.

We solve this by move the mutex_enter to the bottom of cv_wait, so that
the waiter will release the cv first, allowing cv_destroy to succeed and have
a chance to free the mutex.
This would create race condition on the cv_mutex. We use xchg to set and check
it to ensure we won't be harmed by the race. This would result in the cv_mutex
debugging becomes best-effort.

One such call chain is as follows, when a taskq needs more threads:

The initial taskq_dispatch() holds tq_lock on the taskq that needed more

dynamic_taskq->tq_lock. Without subclassing, lockdep believes these
could potentially be the same lock and complains. A similar case occurs

Issue #500
The ->journal_info pointer in the task_struct is reserved for use by
filesystems and because the kernel can have multiple file systems on the
same stack due to direct reclaim, each filesystem that touches
->journal_info in a callback function will save the value at the start
of its frame and restore it at the end of its frame. This allows us to
safely use ->journal_info to store a pointer to the taskq's struct in
taskq threads so that ZFS code paths can detect the presence of a taskq.
This could break if the ZFS code were to use taskq_member from the
context of direct reclaim. However, there are no such uses of it in that
manner, so this is safe.
This eliminates an O(N) list traversal under a spinlock with an O(1)
unlocked pointer comparison.

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:506 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/4.2.0-18-generic/modules.builtin.bin'

Limit the maximum object size to 1/128 of total system memory for
the kmem cache tests. Large values can result in out of memory errors
for systems with less the 512M of memory. Additionally, use the
known number of objects per-slab for calculating the number of
objects to use for a test.

Currently taskq_dispatch() will spawn new task with a condition that the caller
is also a member of the taskq. However, under this condition, it will still
cause deadlock where a task on tq1 is waiting another thread, who is trying to
dispatch a task on tq1. So this patch removes the check.
For example when you do:
zfs send pp/fs0@001 | zfs recv pp/fs0_copy
This will easily deadlock before this patch.
Also, move the seq_task check from taskq_thread_spawn() to taskq_thread()
because it's not used by the caller from taskq_dispatch().

Linux slab will automatically free empty slab when number of partial slab is
over min_partial, so we don't need to explicitly shrink it. In fact, calling
kmem_cache_shrink from shrinker will cause heavy contention on
kmem_cache_node->list_lock, to the point that it might cause __slab_free to
livelock (see zfsonlinux/zfs#3936)

Allocate a kmem cache magazine for every possible CPU which might
be added to the system. This ensures that when one of these CPUs
is enabled it can be safely used immediately.
For many systems the number of online CPUs is identical to the
number of present CPUs so this does imply an increased memory
footprint. In fact, dynamically allocating the array of magazine
pointers instead of using the worst case NR_CPUS can end up
decreasing our memory footprint.

Support grsecurity/PaX kernel configurations where
CONFIG_PAX_USERCOPY_SLABS are enabled. When this kernel option
is enabled slabs which are used to copy between user and kernel
space must be created with SLAB_USERCOPY.
Stock Linux kernels do not have a SLAB_USERCOPY definition so
this causes no change in behavior for non-PAX-enabled kernels.
