When Multihost is enabled, and a pool is imported, uberblock writes
include ub_mmp_delay to allow an importing node to calculate the
duration of an activity test. This value, is not enough information.
If zfs_multihost_fail_intervals > 0 on the node with the pool imported,
the safe minimum duration of the activity test is well defined, but does
not depend on ub_mmp_delay:
zfs_multihost_fail_intervals * zfs_multihost_interval
and if zfs_multihost_fail_intervals == 0 on that node, there is no such
well defined safe duration, but the importing host cannot tell whether
mmp_delay is high due to I/O delays, or due to a very large
zfs_multihost_interval setting on the host which last imported the pool.
As a result, it may use a far longer period for the activity test than
is necessary.
This patch renames ub_mmp_sequence to ub_mmp_config and uses it to
record the zfs_multihost_interval and zfs_multihost_fail_intervals
values, as well as the mmp sequence. This allows a shorter activity
test duration to be calculated by the importing host in most situations.
These values are also added to the multihost_history kstat records.
It calculates the activity test duration differently depending on
whether the new fields are present or not; for importing pools with
only ub_mmp_delay, it uses
(zfs_multihost_interval + ub_mmp_delay) * zfs_multihost_import_intervals
Which results in an activity test duration less sensitive to the leaf
count.
In addition, it makes a few other improvements:
* It updates the "sequence" part of ub_mmp_config when MMP writes
in between syncs occur. This allows an importing host to detect MMP
on the remote host sooner, when the pool is idle, as it is not limited
to the granularity of ub_timestamp (1 second).
* It issues writes immediately when zfs_multihost_interval is changed
so remote hosts see the updated value as soon as possible.
* It fixes a bug where setting zfs_multihost_fail_intervals = 1 results
in immediate pool suspension.
* Update tests to verify activity check duration is based on recorded
tunable values, not tunable values on importing host.
* Update tests to verify the expected number of uberblocks have valid
MMP fields - fail_intervals, mmp_interval, mmp_seq (sequence number),
that sequence number is incrementing, and that uberblock values match
tunable settings.

When an MMP write is skipped, or fails, and time since
mts->mmp_last_write is already greater than mts->mmp_delay, increase
mts->mmp_delay. The original code only updated mts->mmp_delay when a
write succeeded, but this results in the write(s) after delays and
failed write(s) reporting an ub_mmp_delay which is too low.
Update mmp_last_write and mmp_delay if a txg sync was successful. At
least one uberblock was written, thus extending the time we can be sure
the pool will not be imported by another host.
Do not allow mmp_delay to go below (MSEC2NSEC(zfs_multihost_interval) /
vdev_count_leaves()) so that a period of frequent successful MMP writes,
e.g. due to frequent txg syncs, does not result in an import activity
check so short it is not reliable based on mmp thread writes alone.
Remove unnecessary local variable, start. We do not use the start time
of the loop iteration.
Add a debug message in spa_activity_check() to allow verification of the
import_delay value and to prove the activity check occurred.
Alter the tests that import pools and attempt to detect an activity
check. Calculate the expected duration of spa_activity_check() based on
module parameters at the time the import is performed, rather than a
fixed time set in mmp.cfg. The fixed time may be wrong. Also, use the
default zfs_multihost_interval value so the activity check is longer and
easier to recognize.

When the multihost property is enabled it should be impossible to
import an active pool even using the force (-f) option. This patch
prevents a forced import from succeeding when importing with a
stale cache file.
The root cause of the problem is that the kernel modules trusted
the hostid provided in configuration. This is always correct when
the configuration is generated by scanning for the pool. However,
when using an existing cache file the hostid could be stale which
would result in the activity check being skipped.
Resolve the issue by always using the hostid read from the label
configuration where the best uberblock was found.

Quote "$MMP_IMPORT_MSG" when it is passed as an argument, as it is a
multi-word string. Some tests were passing when they should not have,
because the grep was only testing for the first word.
Correct the message expected when no hostid is set and the test attempts
to enable multihost. It did not match the actual output in that
situation.
Disable ztest_reguid() when ztest is invoked with the -M option. If
ztest performs a reguid, a concurrent import attempt may fail with the
error "one or more devices is currently unavailable" if the guid sum is
calculated on the original device guids but compared against the guid
sum ztest wrote based on the new device guids.

Turning the multihost property on requires that a hostid be set to allow
ZFS to determine when a foreign system is attemping to import a pool.
The error message instructing the user to set a hostid refers to
genhostid(1).
Genhostid(1) is not available on SUSE Linux. This commit adds a script
modeled after genhostid(1) for those users.
Zgenhostid checks for an /etc/hostid file; if it does not exist, it
creates one and stores a value. If the user has provided a hostid as an
argument, that value is used. Otherwise, a random hostid is generated
and stored.
This differs from the CENTOS 6/7 versions of genhostid, which overwrite
the /etc/hostid file even though their manpages state otherwise.
A man page for zgenhostid is added. The one for genhostid is in (1), but
I put zgenhostid in (8) because I believe it's more appropriate.
The mmp tests are modified to use zgenhostid to set the hostid instead
of using the spl_hostid module parameter. zgenhostid will not replace
an existing /etc/hostid file, so new mmp_clear_hostid calls are
required.

Add multihost=on|off pool property to control MMP. When enabled
a new thread writes uberblocks to the last slot in each label, at a
set frequency, to indicate to other hosts the pool is actively imported.
These uberblocks are the last synced uberblock with an updated
timestamp. Property defaults to off.
During tryimport, find the "best" uberblock (newest txg and timestamp)
repeatedly, checking for change in the found uberblock. Include the
results of the activity test in the config returned by tryimport.
These results are reported to user in "zpool import".
Allow the user to control the period between MMP writes, and the
duration of the activity test on import, via a new module parameter
zfs_multihost_interval. The period is specified in milliseconds. The
activity test duration is calculated from this value, and from the
mmp_delay in the "best" uberblock found initially.
Add a kstat interface to export statistics about Multiple Modifier
Protection (MMP) updates. Include the last synced txg number, the
timestamp, the delay since the last MMP update, the VDEV GUID, the VDEV
label that received the last MMP update, and the VDEV path. Abbreviated
output below.

Add a new tunable zfs_multihost_history to specify the number of MMP
updates to store history for. By default it is set to zero meaning that
no MMP statistics are stored.
When using ztest to generate activity, for automated tests of the MMP
function, some test functions interfere with the test. For example, the
pool is exported to run zdb and then imported again. Add a new ztest
function, "-M", to alter ztest behavior to prevent this.
Add new tests to verify the new functionality. Tests provided by
