Today the metaslab_debug logic performs two tasks:
- load all metaslabs on import/open
- don't unload metaslabs at the end of spa_sync
This change provides knobs for each of these independently.

Notes:
1) This is a small piece of the metaslab improvement patch from
Illumos. It was worth bringing over before the rest, since it's
low risk and it can be useful on fragmented pools (e.g. Lustre
MDTs). metaslab_debug_unload would give the performance benefit
of the old metaslab_debug option without causing unwanted delay
during pool import.

When the system attributes (SAs) for an object exceed what can
can be stored in the bonus area of a dnode a spill block is
allocated. These spill blocks are currently considered data
blocks. However, they should be accounted for as meta data
because they are effectively an extension of the dnode.
While this may seem like a minor accounting issue it has broader
implications. The key thing to be aware of is that each spill
block will hold a reference on its parent dnode. The dnode in
turn holds a reference on its dbuf in the dnode object. This
means that a single 512 byte data buffer for a spill block can
pin over 16k of meta data. This is analogous to the small file
situation described in 2b13331 where a relatively small number
of data buffer can cause the ARC to exceed the meta limit.
However, unlike the small file case a spill block can legitimately
be considered meta data. By changing the spill block to meta data
they will now be dropped from the cache when the meta limit is
reached. This then allows the dnodes and dbufs which the spill
block was pinning to be released.

As described in the comment above dmu_tx_assign() this function must
only fail if the pool is out of space. If for some other reason the

We add support for lsattr and chattr to resolve a regression caused

Only attributes common to both Solaris and Linux are supported. These

attributes exclusive to Solaris are present in the ZFS code, but cannot
be accessed or modified through this method. That was the case prior to
this patch. The resolution of issue zfsonlinux/zfs#229 should implement
some method to permit access and modification of Solaris-specific

Endianness detection in LZ4 is broken in user-space builds. This
bug corrupts compressed data and manifests itself in several ztest
failures. When LZ4 was originally ported to Illumos ZFS, the proper
checks for Linux were stripped out. The Linux port then inherited
the remaining detection code that works on Illumos but not on Linux.
The current LZ4 endianness check misuses the condition
defined(__BIG_ENDIAN) to indicate a big-endian system. On Linux
__BIG_ENDIAN is defined uncondtionally in the user-space header
/usr/include/endian.h, regardless of the endianness of the system.
The kernel does not use this header, so only user-space builds are
affected.
While we could fix this by restoring the upstream LZ4 endianness
detection code, reliable checks already exist in
libspl/include/sys/isa_defs.h. This change uses the libspl results
to replace the word-size and endianness checks in LZ4, simplifying
the code and reducing duplication.

Due to an asymmetry in the kmem accounting a memory leak was being
reported when it was only an accounting issue. All memory allocated
with kmem_alloc() must be released with kmem_free() or it will not
be properly accounted for.
In this case the code used strfree() to release the memory allocated
by kmem_alloc(). Presumably this was done because the size of the
memory region wasn't available when the memory needed to be freed.
To resolve this issue the code has been updated to use strdup() instead
of kmem_alloc() to allocate the memory. Like strfree(), strdup() is
not integrated with the memory accounting. This means we can use
strfree() to release it like Illumos.

This patch implements the original fix in a slightly different manner in
order to avoid both deadlocks. Instead of relying on a call to ilookup()
which can block in __wait_on_freeing_inode() the return value from igrab()
is used. This gives us the information that ilookup() provided without
the risk of a deadlock.
Alternately, this race could be closed by registering an sops->drop_inode()
callback. The callback would need to detect the active SA hold thereby
informing the VFS that this inode should not be evicted.

Issue #180
When a vdev starts getting I/O or checksum errors it is now
possible to automatically rebuild to a hot spare device.
To cleanly support this functionality in a shell script some
additional information was added to all zevent ereports which
include a vdev. This covers both io and checksum zevents but
may be used but other scripts.
In the Illumos FMA solution the same information is required
but it is retrieved through the libzfs library interface.
Specifically the following members were added:
vdev_spare_paths - List of vdev paths for all hot spares.
vdev_spare_guids - List of vdev guids for all hot spares.
vdev_read_errors - Read errors for the problematic vdev
vdev_write_errors - Write errors for the problematic vdev
vdev_cksum_errors - Checksum errors for the problematic vdev.
By default the required hot spare scripts are installed but this
functionality is disabled. To enable hot sparing uncomment the
ZED_SPARE_ON_IO_ERRORS and ZED_SPARE_ON_CHECKSUM_ERRORS in the
/etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc configuration file.
These scripts do no add support for the autoexpand property. At
a minimum this requires adding a new udev rule to detect when
a new device is added to the system. It also requires that the
autoexpand policy be ported from Illumos, see:

Originally, users had to handle spa namespace collisions by either
exporting the already imported pool or by specifying a new name for the
pool with a conflicting name. In the case of root pools from virtual
guests, neither approach to collision resolution is reasonable. This is
addressed by extending the new name syntax with a -t option to specify
that the new name is temporary. When specified, this sets an internal
flag that is passed into the kernel to tell it that all label updates
should refer to the name used in the original label. Consequently, the
original pool name will be retained on export.

Some callers of dmu_tx_assign() use the TXG_NOWAIT flag and call
dmu_tx_wait() themselves before retrying if the assignment fails.
The wait times for such callers are not accounted for in the
dmu_tx_assign kstat histogram, because the histogram only records
time spent in dmu_tx_assign(). This change moves the histogram
update to dmu_tx_wait() to properly account for all time spent there.
One downside of this approach is that it is possible to call
dmu_tx_wait() multiple times before successfully assigning a
transaction, in which case the cumulative wait time would not be
recorded. However, this case should not often arise in practice,
because most callers currently use one of these forms:
dmu_tx_assign(tx, TXG_WAIT);
dmu_tx_assign(tx, waited ? TXG_WAITED : TXG_NOWAIT);
The first form should make just one call to dmu_tx_delay() inside of
dmu_tx_assign(). The second form retries with TXG_WAITED if the first
assignment fails and incurs a delay, in which case no further waiting
is performed. Therefore transaction delays normally occur in one
call to dmu_tx_wait() so the histogram should be fairly accurate.
Another possible downside of this approach is that the histogram will
no longer record overhead outside of dmu_tx_wait() such as in
dmu_tx_try_assign(). While I'm not aware of any reason for concern on
this point, it is conceivable that lock contention, long list
traversal, etc. could cause assignment delays that would not be
reflected in the histogram. Therefore the histogram should strictly
be used for visibility in to the normal delay mechanisms and not as a
profiling tool for code performance.

The nreserved column in the txgs kstat file always contains 0
following the write throttle restructuring of commit
e8b96c6007.
Prior to that commit, the nreserved column showed the number of bytes
temporarily reserved in the pool by a transaction group at sync time.
The new write throttle did away with temporary reservations and uses
the amount of dirty data instead. To approximate the old output of
the txgs kstat, the number of dirty bytes per-txg was passed in as
the nreserved value to spa_txg_history_set_io(). This approach did
not work as intended, because the per-txg dirty value is decremented
as data is written out to disk, so it is zero by the time we call
spa_txg_history_set_io(). To fix this, save the number of dirty
bytes before calling spa_sync(), and pass this value in to
spa_txg_history_set_io().
Also, since the name "nreserved" is now a misnomer, the column
heading is now labeled "ndirty".

Userland tools such as blkid, grub2-probe and zdb will go through the
buffer cache. However, ZFS uses on submit_bio() to bypass the buffer
cache when performing IO operations on vdevs for efficiency purposes.
This permits the on-disk state and buffer cache to fall out of
synchronization. That causes seemingly random failures when tools
reading stale metadata from the buffer cache try to access references to
data that is no longer there.
A particularly bad failure this causes involves grub2-probe, which is
used by grub2-mkconfig. Ordinarily, a rootfs might be called
rpool/ROOT/gentoo. However, when a failure occurs in grub2-probe,
grub2-mkconfig will generate a configuration file containing
/ROOT/gentoo, which omits the pool name and causes a boot failure.
This is avoidable by calling invalidate_bdev() on each flush, which is a
simple way to ensure that all non-dirty pages are wiped. Since userland
tools rarely access vdevs directly, this should be a fancy noop >99.999%
of the time and have little impact on IO. We could have tried a finer
grained approach for the rare instances in which the vdevs are accessed
frequently by userland. However, that would require consideration of
corner cases and it is not worth the effort.
Memory-wise, it would have been better to use a Linux kernel API hook to
disable the buffer cache on such devices, but it provides us no way of
doing that, so we opt for this approach instead. We should revisit that
idea in the future when higher priority issues have been tackled.

Unfortunately, this change is an cheap attempt to work around a
pathological workload for the ARC. A "real" solution still needs to be
fleshed out, so this patch is intended to alleviate the situation in the
meantime. Let me try and describe the problem..
Data buffers residing in the dbuf hash table (dbuf cache) will keep a
hold on their respective dnode, this dnode will in turn keep a hold on
its backing dbuf (the physical block of the dnode object backing it).
Since the dnode has a hold on its backing dbuf, the arc buffer for this
dbuf is unevictable. What this essentially boils down to, "data" buffers
have the potential to pin "metadata" in the arc (as a result of these
dnode object buffers being unevictable).
This scenario becomes a real problem when the workload consists of many
small files (e.g. creating millions of 4K files). With this workload,
the arc's "arc_meta_used" space get filled up with buffers for any
resident directories as well as buffers for the objset's dnode object.
Once the "arc_meta_limit" is reached, the directory buffers will be
evicted and only the unevictable dnode object buffers will reside. If
the workload is simply creating new small files, these dnode object
buffers will never even be needed again, whereas the directory buffers
will be used constantly until the creates move to a new directory.
If "arc_c" and "arc_meta_limit" are sized appropriately, this
situation wont occur. This is because as the data buffers accumulate,
"arc_size" will eventually approach "arc_c" (before "arc_meta_used"
reaches "arc_meta_limit"); at that point the data buffers will be
evicted, which releases the hold on the dnode, which releases the hold
on the dnode object's dbuf, which allows that buffer to be evicted from
the arc in preference to more "useful" metadata.
So, to side step the issue, we simply need to ensure "arc_size" reaches
"arc_c" before "arc_meta_used" reaches "arc_meta_limit". In order to
pick a proper limit, we have to do some math.
To make things a little easier to follow, it is assumed that there will
only be a single data buffer per file (which is probably always the case
for "small" files anyways).
Based on the current internals of the arc, if N files residing in the
dbuf cache all pin a single dnode buffer (i.e. their dnodes all share
the same physical dnode object block), then the following amount of
"arc_meta_used" space will be consumed:
- 16K for the dnode object's block - [ 16384 bytes]
- N * sizeof(dnode_t) -------------- [ N * 928 bytes]
- (N + 1) * sizeof(arc_buf_t) ------ [(N + 1) * 72 bytes]
- (N + 1) * sizeof(arc_buf_hdr_t) -- [(N + 1) * 264 bytes]
- (N + 1) * sizeof(dmu_buf_impl_t) - [(N + 1) * 280 bytes]
To simplify, these N files will pin the following amount of
"arc_meta_used" space as unevictable:
Pinned "arc_meta_used" bytes = 16384 + N * 928 + (N + 1) * (72 + 264 + 280)
Pinned "arc_meta_used" bytes = 17000 + N * 1544
This pinned space is regardless of the size of the files, and is only
dependent on the number of pinned dnodes sharing a physical block
(i.e. N). For example, 32 512b files sharing a single dnode object
block would consume the same "arc_meta_used" space as 32 4K files
sharing a single dnode object block.
Now, given a files size of S, we can determine the total amount of
space that will be consumed in the arc:
Total = 17000 + N * 1544 + S * N
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
metadata data
So, given these formulas, we can generate a table which states the ratio

As you can see, if we wanted to support the absolute worst case of 1
dnode per physical dnode block and 512b files, we would have to set the
"arc_meta_limit" to something greater than 97.3132% of "arc_c_max". At
that point, it essentially defeats the purpose of having an
"arc_meta_limit" at all.
This patch changes the default value of "arc_meta_limit" to be 75% of
"arc_c_max", which should be good enough for "most" workloads (I think).

Issue #2110
Previously, the "data_size" field in the arcstats kstat contained the
amount of cached "metadata" and "data" in the ARC. The problem is this
then made it difficult to extract out just the "metadata" size, or just
the "data" size.
To make it easier to distinguish the two values, "data_size" has been
modified to count only buffers of type ARC_BUFC_DATA, and "meta_size"
was added to count only buffers of type ARC_BUFC_METADATA. If one wants
the old "data_size" value, simply sum the new "data_size" and
"meta_size" values.

Issue #2110
When the arc is at it's size limit and a new buffer is added, data will
be evicted (or recycled) from the arc to make room for this new buffer.
As far as I can tell, this is to try and keep the arc from over stepping
it's bounds (i.e. keep it below the size limitation placed on it).
This makes sense conceptually, but there appears to be a subtle flaw in
its current implementation, resulting in metadata buffers being
throttled. When it evicts from the arc's lists, it also passes in a
"type" so as to remove a buffer of the same type that it is adding. The
problem with this is that once the size limit is hit, the ratio of
"metadata" to "data" contained in the arc essentially becomes fixed.
For example, consider the following scenario:
* the size of the arc is capped at 10G
* the meta_limit is capped at 4G
* 9G of the arc contains "data"
* 1G of the arc contains "metadata"
Now, every time a new "metadata" buffer is created and added to the arc,
an older "metadata" buffer(s) will be removed from the arc; preserving
the 9G "data" to 1G "metadata" ratio that was in-place when the size
limit was reached. This occurs even though the amount of "metadata" is
far below the "metadata" limit. This can result in the arc behaving
pathologically for certain workloads.
To fix this, the arc_get_data_buf function was modified to evict "data"
from the arc even when adding a "metadata" buffer; unless it's at the
"metadata" limit. In addition, arc_evict now more closely resembles
arc_evict_ghost; such that when evicting "data" from the arc, it may
make a second pass over the arc lists and evict "metadata" if it cannot
meet the eviction size the first time around.

Using "arc_meta_used" to determine if the arc's mru list is over it's
target value of "arc_p" doesn't seem correct. The size of the mru list
and the value of "arc_meta_used", although related, are completely
independent. Buffers contained in "arc_meta_used" may not even be
contained in the arc's mru list. As such, this patch removes
"arc_meta_used" from the calculation in arc_adjust.

Issue #2110
To maintain a strict limit on the metadata contained in the arc, while
preventing the arc buffer headers from completely consuming the
"arc_meta_used" space, we need to evict metadata buffers from the arc's
ghost lists along with the regular lists.
This change modifies arc_adjust_meta such that it more closely models
the adjustments made in arc_adjust. "arc_meta_used" is used similarly to
"arc_size", and "arc_meta_limit" is used similarly to "arc_c".
Testing metadata intensive workloads (e.g. creating, copying, and
removing millions of small files and/or directories) has shown this
change to make a dramatic improvement to the hit rate maintained in the
arc. While I think there is still room for improvement, this is a big
step in the right direction.
In addition, zpl_free_cached_objects was made into a no-op as I'm not
yet sure how to properly implement that function.

Issue #2110
Setting a limit on the minimum value of "arc_p" has been shown to have
detrimental effects on the arc hit rate for certain "metadata" intensive
workloads. Specifically, this has been exhibited with a workload that
constantly dirties new "metadata" but also frequently touches a "small"
amount of mfu data (e.g. mkdir's).
What is seen is that the new anon data throttles the mfu list to a
negligible size (because arc_p > anon + mru in arc_get_data_buf), even
though the mfu ghost list receives a constant stream of hits. To remedy
this, arc_p is now allowed to drop to zero if the algorithm deems it
necessary.

Issue #2110
For specific workloads consisting mainly of mfu data and new anon data
buffers, the aggressive growth of arc_p found in the arc_get_data_buf()
function can have detrimental effects on the mfu list size and ghost
list hit rate.
Running a workload consisting of two processes:
* Process 1 is creating many small files
* Process 2 is tar'ing a directory consisting of many small files
I've seen arc_p and the mru grow to their maximum size, while the mru
ghost list receives 100K times fewer hits than the mfu ghost list.
Ideally, as the mfu ghost list receives hits, arc_p should be driven
down and the size of the mfu should increase. Given the specific
workload I was testing with, the mfu list size should grow to a point
where almost no mfu ghost list hits would occur. Unfortunately, this
does not happen because the newly dirtied anon buffers constancy drive
arc_p to its maximum value and keep it there (effectively prioritizing
the mru list and starving the mfu list down to a negligible size).
The logic to increment arc_p from within the arc_get_data_buf() function
was introduced many years ago in this upstream commit:
commit 641fbdae3a027d12b3c3dcd18927ccafae6d58bc
Author: maybee <none@none>
Date: Wed Dec 20 15:46:12 2006 -0800
6505658 target MRU size (arc.p) needs to be adjusted more aggressively
and since I don't fully understand the motivation for the change, I am
reluctant to completely remove it.
As a way to test out how it's removal might affect performance, I've
disabled that code by default, but left it tunable via a module option.
Thus, if its removal is found to be grossly detrimental for certain
workloads, it can be re-enabled on the fly, without a code change.

In an attempt to prevent arc_c from collapsing "too fast", the

Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux
Unfortunately, that change failed to make a similar change to the way
that arc_p was updated. So, there still exists the possibility for arc_p
to collapse to near 0 when the kernel start calling the arc's shrinkers.
This change attempts to fix this, by decrementing arc_p by the "bytes"
parameter in the same way that arc_c is updated.
In addition, a minimum value of arc_p is attempted to be maintained,
similar to the way a minimum arc_p value is maintained in arc_adapt().

Decrease the mimimum ARC size from 1/32 of total system memory
(or 64MB) to a much smaller 4MB.
1) Large systems with over a 1TB of memory are being deployed
and reserving 1/32 of this memory (32GB) as the mimimum
requirement is overkill.
2) Tiny systems like the raspberry pi may only have 256MB of
memory in which case 64MB is far too large.
The ARC should be reclaimable if the VFS determines it needs
the memory for some other purpose. If you want to ensure the
ARC is never completely reclaimed due to memory pressure you
may still set a larger value with zfs_arc_min.

Issue #2110
ZoL commit 1421c89 unintentionally changed the disk format in a forward-
compatible, but not backward compatible way. This was accomplished by
adding an entry to zbookmark_t, which is included in a couple of
on-disk structures. That lead to the creation of pools with incorrect
dsl_scan_phys_t objects that could only be imported by versions of ZoL
containing that commit. Such pools cannot be imported by other versions
of ZFS or past versions of ZoL.
The additional field has been removed by the previous commit. However,
affected pools must be imported and scrubbed using a version of ZoL with
this commit applied. This will return the pools to a state in which they
may be imported by other implementations.
The 'zpool import' or 'zpool status' command can be used to determine if
a pool is impacted. A message similar to one of the following means your
pool must be scrubbed to restore compatibility.
$ zpool import
pool: zol-0.6.2-173
id: 1165955789558693437
state: ONLINE
status: Errata #1 detected.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier,
however there is a compatibility issue which should be corrected
by running 'zpool scrub'
see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER
config:
...
$ zpool status
pool: zol-0.6.2-173
state: ONLINE
scan: pool compatibility issue detected.
see: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/2094
action: To correct the issue run 'zpool scrub'.
config:
...
If there was an async destroy in progress 'zpool import' will prevent
the pool from being imported. Further advice on how to proceed will be
provided by the error message as follows.
$ zpool import
pool: zol-0.6.2-173
id: 1165955789558693437
state: ONLINE
status: Errata #2 detected.
action: The pool can not be imported with this version of ZFS due to an
active asynchronous destroy. Revert to an earlier version and
allow the destroy to complete before updating.

Pools affected by the damaged dsl_scan_phys_t can be detected prior to
an upgrade by running the following command as root:
zdb -dddd poolname 1 | grep -P '^\t\tscan = ' | sed -e 's;scan = ;;' | wc -w
Note that `poolname` must be replaced with the name of the pool you wish
to check. A value of 25 indicates the dsl_scan_phys_t has been damaged.
A value of 24 indicates that the dsl_scan_phys_t is normal. A value of 0
indicates that there has never been a scrub run on the pool.
The regression caused by the change to zbookmark_t never made it into a
tagged release, Gentoo backports, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or EPEL
stable respositorys. Only those using the HEAD version directly from
Github after the 0.6.2 but before the 0.6.3 tag are affected.
This patch does have one limitation that should be mentioned. It will not
detect errata #2 on a pool unless errata #1 is also present. It expected
this will not be a significant problem because pools impacted by errata #2
have a high probably of being impacted by errata #1.
End users can ensure they do no hit this unlikely case by waiting for all
asynchronous destroy operations to complete before updating ZoL. The
presence of any background destroys on any imported pools can be checked
by running `zpool get freeing` as root. This will display a non-zero
value for any pool with an active asynchronous destroy.
Lastly, it is expected that no user data has been lost as a result of
this erratum.

Issue #2094
From time to time it may be necessary to inform the pool administrator
about an errata which impacts their pool. These errata will by shown
to the administrator through the 'zpool status' and 'zpool import'
output as appropriate. The errata must clearly describe the issue
detected, how the pool is impacted, and what action should be taken
to resolve the situation. Additional information for each errata will
be provided at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER.
To accomplish the above this patch adds the required infrastructure to
allow the kernel modules to notify the utilities that an errata has
been detected. This is done through the ZPOOL_CONFIG_ERRATA uint64_t
which has been added to the pool configuration nvlist.
To add a new errata the following changes must be made:
* A new errata identifier must be assigned by adding a new enum value
to the zpool_errata_t type. New enums must be added to the end to
preserve the existing ordering.
* Code must be added to detect the issue. This does not strictly
need to be done at pool import time but doing so will make the
errata visible in 'zpool import' as well as 'zpool status'. Once
detected the spa->spa_errata member should be set to the new enum.
* If possible code should be added to clear the spa->spa_errata member
once the errata has been resolved.
* The show_import() and status_callback() functions must be updated
to include an informational message describing the errata. This
should include an action message describing what an administrator
should do to address the errata.
* The documentation at http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-ER must be
updated to describe the errata. This space can be used to provide
as much additional information as needed to fully describe the errata.
A link to this documentation will be automatically generated in the
output of 'zpool import' and 'zpool status'.

Commit e0b0ca9 accidentally corrupted the l2_asize displayed in
arcstats. This was caused by changing the l2arc_buf_hdr.b_asize
member from an int to uint32_t type. There are places in the
code where this field is cast to a uint64_t resulting in the
b_hits member being treated as part of b_asize.
To resolve the issue the type has been changed to a uint64_t,
and the b_hits member is placed after the enum to prevent the
size of the structure from increasing.
This is a good example of exactly why it's a bad idea to use
ambiguous types (int) in these structures.
