As part of transaction group commit, dsl_pool_sync() sequentially calls
dsl_dataset_sync() for each dirty dataset, which subsequently calls
dmu_objset_sync(). dmu_objset_sync() in turn uses up to 75% of CPU
cores to run sync_dnodes_task() in taskq threads to sync the dirty
dnodes (files).
There are two problems:
1. Each ZVOL in a pool is a separate dataset/objset having a single
dnode. This means the objsets are synchronized serially, which
leads to a bottleneck of ~330K blocks written per second per pool.
2. In the case of multiple dirty dnodes/files on a dataset/objset on a
big system they will be sync'd in parallel taskq threads. However,
it is inefficient to to use 75% of CPU cores of a big system to do
that, because of (a) bottlenecks on a single write issue taskq, and
(b) allocation throttling. In addition, if not for the allocation
throttling sorting write requests by bookmarks (logical address),
writes for different files may reach space allocators interleaved,
leading to unwanted fragmentation.
The solution to both problems is to always sync no more and (if
possible) no fewer dnodes at the same time than there are allocators
the pool.

It's been observed that in certain workloads (zvol-related being a
big one), ZFS will end up spending a large amount of time spinning
up taskqs only to tear them down again almost immediately, then
spin them up again...
I noticed this when I looked at what my mostly-idle system was doing
and wondered how on earth taskq creation/destroy was a bunch of time...
So I added a configurable delay to avoid it tearing down tasks the
first time it notices them idle, and the total number of threads at
steady state went up, but the amount of time being burned just
tearing down/turning up new ones almost vanished.

In #13871, zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit_non_rotating and
zfs_vdev_aggregation_limit being signed was pointed out as a possible
reason not to eliminate an unnecessary MAX(unsigned, 0) since the
unsigned value was assigned from them.
There is no reason for these module parameters to be signed and upon
inspection, it was found that there are a number of other module
parameters that are signed, but should not be, so we make them unsigned.
Making them unsigned made it clear that some other variables in the code
should also be unsigned, so we also make those unsigned. This prevents
users from setting negative values that could potentially cause bad
behaviors. It also makes the code slightly easier to understand.
Mostly module parameters that deal with timeouts, limits, bitshifts and
percentages are made unsigned by this. Any that are boolean are left
signed, since whether booleans should be considered signed or unsigned
does not matter.
Making zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent unsigned caused a
`zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent >= 0` check to become redundant, so it was
removed. Removing the check was also necessary to prevent a compiler
error from -Werror=type-limits.
Several end of line comments had to be moved to their own lines because
replacing int with uint_t caused us to exceed the 80 character limit
enforced by cstyle.pl.
The following were kept signed because they are passed to
taskq_create(), which expects signed values and modifying the
OpenSolaris/Illumos DDI is out of scope of this patch:
* metaslab_load_pct
* zfs_sync_taskq_batch_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_nthr_pct
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_minalloc
* zfs_zil_clean_taskq_maxalloc
* zfs_arc_prune_task_threads
Also, negative values in those parameters was found to be harmless.
The following were left signed because either negative values make
sense, or more analysis was needed to determine whether negative values
should be disallowed:
* zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold
* zfs_pd_bytes_max
* zfs_livelist_min_percent_shared
zfs_multihost_history was made static to be consistent with other
parameters.
A number of module parameters were marked as signed, but in reality
referenced unsigned variables. upgrade_errlog_limit is one of the
numerous examples. In the case of zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active, it was
already uint32_t, but zdb had an extern int declaration for it.
Interestingly, the documentation in zfs.4 was right for
upgrade_errlog_limit despite the module parameter being wrongly marked,
while the documentation for zfs_vdev_async_read_max_active (and friends)
was wrong. It was also wrong for zstd_abort_size, which was unsigned,
but was documented as signed.
Also, the documentation in zfs.4 incorrectly described the following
parameters as ulong when they were int:
* zfs_arc_meta_adjust_restarts
* zfs_override_estimate_recordsize
They are now uint_t as of this patch and thus the man page has been
updated to describe them as uint.
dbuf_state_index was left alone since it does nothing and perhaps should
be removed in another patch.
If any module parameters were missed, they were not found by `grep -r
'ZFS_MODULE_PARAM' | grep ', INT'`. I did find a few that grep missed,
but only because they were in files that had hits.
This patch intentionally did not attempt to address whether some of
these module parameters should be elevated to 64-bit parameters, because
the length of a long on 32-bit is 32-bit.
Lastly, it was pointed out during review that uint_t is a better match
for these variables than uint32_t because FreeBSD kernel parameter
definitions are designed for uint_t, whose bit width can change in
future memory models. As a result, we change the existing parameters
that are uint32_t to use uint_t.

Upon inspection of our code, I noticed that we assume that
__alloc_percpu() cannot fail, and while it probably never has failed in
practice, technically, it can fail, so we should handle that.
Additionally, we incorrectly assume that `taskq_create()` in
spl_kmem_cache_init() cannot fail. The same remark applies to it.
Lastly, `spl-init()` failures should always return negative error
values, but in some places, we are returning positive 1, which is
incorrect. We change those values to their correct error codes.

__zio_execute() calls zio_taskq_member() to determine if we are running
in a zio interrupt taskq, in which case we may need to switch to
processing this zio in a zio issue taskq. The call to
zio_taskq_member() can become a performance bottleneck when we are
processing a high rate of zio's.
zio_taskq_member() calls taskq_member() on each of the zio interrupt
taskqs, of which there are 21. This is slow because each call to
taskq_member() does tsd_get(taskq_tsd), which on Linux is relatively
slow.
This commit improves the performance of zio_taskq_member() by having it
cache the value of tsd_get(taskq_tsd), reducing the number of those
calls to 1/21th of the current behavior.
In a test case running `zfs send -c >/dev/null` of a filesystem with
small blocks (average 2.5KB/block), zio_taskq_member() was using 6.7% of
one CPU, and with this change it is reduced to 1.3%. Overall time to
perform the `zfs send` reduced by 10% (~150,000 block/sec to ~165,000
blocks/sec).

Contrary to initial testing we cannot rely on these kernels to
invalidate the per-cpu FPU state and restore the FPU registers.
Nor can we guarantee that the kernel won't modify the FPU state
which we saved in the task struck.
Therefore, the kfpu_begin() and kfpu_end() functions have been
updated to save and restore the FPU state using our own dedicated
per-cpu FPU state variables.
This has the additional advantage of allowing us to use the FPU
again in user threads. So we remove the code which was added to
use task queues to ensure some functions ran in kernel threads.
