We limit the size of nvlists passed to the kernel so a user cannot make
the kernel do an unreasonably large allocation. On FreeBSD this limit
was 128 kiB, which turns out to be a bit too small when doing some
operations involving a large number of datasets or snapshots, for
example replication.
Make this limit tunable, with a platform-specific auto default.
Linux keeps its limit at KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. FreeBSD uses 1/4 of the
system limit on user wired memory, which allows it to scale depending
on system configuration.

The GRUB restrictions are based around the pool's bootfs property.
Given the current situation where GRUB is not staying current with
OpenZFS pool features, having either a non-ZFS /boot or a separate
pool with limited features are pretty much the only long-term answers
for GRUB support. Only the second case matters in this context. For
the restrictions to be useful, the bootfs property would have to be set
on the boot pool, because that is where we need the restrictions, as
that is the pool that GRUB reads from. The documentation for bootfs
describes it as pointing to the root pool. That's also how it's used in
the initramfs. ZFS does not allow setting bootfs to point to a dataset
in another pool. (If it did, it'd be difficult-to-impossible to enforce
these restrictions cross-pool). Accordingly, bootfs is pretty much
useless for GRUB scenarios moving forward.
Even for users who have only one pool, the existing restrictions for
GRUB are incomplete. They don't prevent you from enabling the
unsupported checksums, for example. For that reason, I have ripped out
all the GRUB restrictions.
A little longer-term, I think extending the proposed features=portable
system to define a features=grub is a much more useful approach. The
user could set that on the boot pool at creation, and things would
Just Work.

The ARC caches data in scatter ABD's, which are collections of pages,
which are typically 4K. Therefore, the space used to cache each block
is rounded up to a multiple of 4K. The ABD subsystem tracks this wasted
memory in the `scatter_chunk_waste` kstat. However, the ARC's `size` is
not aware of the memory used by this round-up, it only accounts for the
size that it requested from the ABD subsystem.
Therefore, the ARC is effectively using more memory than it is aware of,
due to the `scatter_chunk_waste`. This impacts observability, e.g.
`arcstat` will show that the ARC is using less memory than it
effectively is. It also impacts how the ARC responds to memory
pressure. As the amount of `scatter_chunk_waste` changes, it appears to
the ARC as memory pressure, so it needs to resize `arc_c`.
If the sector size (`1<<ashift`) is the same as the page size (or
larger), there won't be any waste. If the (compressed) block size is
relatively large compared to the page size, the amount of
`scatter_chunk_waste` will be small, so the problematic effects are
minimal.
However, if using 512B sectors (`ashift=9`), and the (compressed) block
size is small (e.g. `compression=on` with the default `volblocksize=8k`
or a decreased `recordsize`), the amount of `scatter_chunk_waste` can be
very large. On a production system, with `arc_size` at a constant 50%
of memory, `scatter_chunk_waste` has been been observed to be 10-30% of
memory.
This commit adds `scatter_chunk_waste` to `arc_size`, and adds a new
`waste` field to `arcstat`. As a result, the ARC's memory usage is more
observable, and `arc_c` does not need to be adjusted as frequently.

When reading compressed blocks from the L2ARC, with
compressed ARC disabled, arc_hdr_size() returns
LSIZE rather than PSIZE, but the actual read is PSIZE.
This causes l2arc_read_done() to compare the checksum
against the wrong size, resulting in checksum failure.
This manifests as an increase in the kstat l2_cksum_bad
and the read being retried from the main pool, making the
L2ARC ineffective.
Add new L2ARC tests with Compressed ARC enabled/disabled
Blocks are handled differently depending on the state of the
zfs_compressed_arc_enabled tunable.
If a block is compressed on-disk, and compressed_arc is enabled:
- the block is read from disk
- It is NOT decompressed
- It is added to the ARC in its compressed form
- l2arc_write_buffers() may write it to the L2ARC (as is)
- l2arc_read_done() compares the checksum to the BP (compressed)
However, if compressed_arc is disabled:
- the block is read from disk
- It is decompressed
- It is added to the ARC (uncompressed)
- l2arc_write_buffers() will use l2arc_apply_transforms() to
recompress the block, before writing it to the L2ARC
- l2arc_read_done() compares the checksum to the BP (compressed)
- l2arc_read_done() will use l2arc_untransform() to uncompress it
This test writes out a test file to a pool consisting of one disk
and one cache device, then randomly reads from it. Since the arc_max
in the tests is low, this will feed the L2ARC, and result in reads
from the L2ARC.
We compare the value of the kstat l2_cksum_bad before and after
to determine if any blocks failed to survive the trip through the
L2ARC.

After this commit, the order of calls was reverted and arc_adapt() is
now called only with «real» hits even if hit was in one of two ghost

Pool-wide metadata is stored in the MOS (Meta Object Set). This
metadata is stored in triplicate, in addition to any pool-level
reduncancy (e.g. RAIDZ). However, if all 3+ copies of this metadata are
not available, we can still get EIO/ECKSUM when reading from the MOS.
If we encounter such an error in syncing context, we have typically
already committed to making a change that we now can't do because of the
corrupt/missing metadata. We typically "handle" this with a `VERIFY()`
or `zfs_panic_recover()`. This prevents the system from continuing on
in an undefined state, while minimizing the amount of error-handling
code.
However, there are some code paths that ignore these i/o errors, or
`ASSERT()` that they don't happen. Since assertions are disabled on
non-debug builds, they effectively ignore them as well. This can lead
to ZFS continuing on in an incorrect state, potentially leading to
on-disk inconsistencies.
This commit adds handling for these i/o errors on MOS metadata,
typically with a `VERIFY()`:
* Handle error return from `zap_cursor_retrieve()` in 4 places in
`dsl_deadlist.c`.
* Handle error return from `zap_contains()` in `dsl_dir_hold_obj()`.
Turns out this call isn't necessary because we can always call
`zap_lookup()`.
* Handle error return from `zap_lookup()` in `dsl_fs_ss_limit_check()`.
* Handle error return from `zap_remove()` in `dsl_dir_rename_sync()`.
* Handle error return from `zap_lookup()` in
`dsl_dir_remove_livelist()`.
* Handle error return from `dsl_process_sub_livelist()` in
`spa_livelist_delete_cb()`.
Additionally:
* Augment the internal history log message for `zfs destroy` to note

Closes#10647
The ARC shrinker callback `arc_shrinker_count/_scan()` is invoked by the
kernel's shrinker mechanism when the system is running low on free
pages. This happens via 2 code paths:
1. "direct reclaim": The system is attempting to allocate a page, but we
are low on memory. The ARC shrinker callback is invoked from the
page-allocation code path.
2. "indirect reclaim": kswapd notices that there aren't many free pages,
so it invokes the ARC shrinker callback.
In both cases, the kernel's shrinker code requests that the ARC shrinker
callback release some of its cache, and then it measures how many pages
were released. However, it's measurement of released pages does not
include pages that are freed via `__free_pages()`, which is how the ARC
releases memory (via `abd_free_chunks()`). Rather, the kernel shrinker
code is looking for pages to be placed on the lists of reclaimable pages
(which is separate from actually-free pages).
Because the kernel shrinker code doesn't detect that the ARC has
released pages, it may call the ARC shrinker callback many times,
resulting in the ARC "collapsing" down to `arc_c_min`. This has several
negative impacts:
1. ZFS doesn't use RAM to cache data effectively.
2. In the direct reclaim case, a single page allocation may wait a long
time (e.g. more than a minute) while we evict the entire ARC.
3. Even with the improvements made in 67c0f0dedc ("ARC shrinking blocks
reads/writes"), occasionally `arc_size` may stay above `arc_c` for the
entire time of the ARC collapse, thus blocking ZFS read/write operations
in `arc_get_data_impl()`.
To address these issues, this commit limits the ways that the ARC
shrinker callback can be used by the kernel shrinker code, and mitigates
the impact of arc_is_overflowing() on ZFS read/write operations.
With this commit:
1. We limit the amount of data that can be reclaimed from the ARC via
the "direct reclaim" shrinker. This limits the amount of time it takes
to allocate a single page.
2. We do not allow the ARC to shrink via kswapd (indirect reclaim).
Instead we rely on `arc_evict_zthr` to monitor free memory and reduce
the ARC target size to keep sufficient free memory in the system. Note
that we can't simply rely on limiting the amount that we reclaim at once
(as for the direct reclaim case), because kswapd's "boosted" logic can
invoke the callback an unlimited number of times (see
`balance_pgdat()`).
3. When `arc_is_overflowing()` and we want to allocate memory,
`arc_get_data_impl()` will wait only for a multiple of the requested
amount of data to be evicted, rather than waiting for the ARC to no
longer be overflowing. This allows ZFS reads/writes to make progress
even while the ARC is overflowing, while also ensuring that the eviction
thread makes progress towards reducing the total amount of memory used
by the ARC.
4. The amount of memory that the ARC always tries to keep free for the
rest of the system, `arc_sys_free` is increased.
5. Now that the shrinker callback is able to provide feedback to the
kernel's shrinker code about our progress, we can safely enable
the kswapd hook. This will allow the arc to receive notifications
when memory pressure is first detected by the kernel. We also
