Michael Niewöhner 10b3c7f5e4 Add zstd support to zfs
This PR adds two new compression types, based on ZStandard:

- zstd: A basic ZStandard compression algorithm Available compression.
  Levels for zstd are zstd-1 through zstd-19, where the compression
  increases with every level, but speed decreases.

- zstd-fast: A faster version of the ZStandard compression algorithm
  zstd-fast is basically a "negative" level of zstd. The compression
  decreases with every level, but speed increases.

  Available compression levels for zstd-fast:
   - zstd-fast-1 through zstd-fast-10
   - zstd-fast-20 through zstd-fast-100 (in increments of 10)
   - zstd-fast-500 and zstd-fast-1000

For more information check the man page.

Implementation details:

Rather than treat each level of zstd as a different algorithm (as was
done historically with gzip), the block pointer `enum zio_compress`
value is simply zstd for all levels, including zstd-fast, since they all
use the same decompression function.

The compress= property (a 64bit unsigned integer) uses the lower 7 bits
to store the compression algorithm (matching the number of bits used in
a block pointer, as the 8th bit was borrowed for embedded block
pointers).  The upper bits are used to store the compression level.

It is necessary to be able to determine what compression level was used
when later reading a block back, so the concept used in LZ4, where the
first 32bits of the on-disk value are the size of the compressed data
(since the allocation is rounded up to the nearest ashift), was
extended, and we store the version of ZSTD and the level as well as the
compressed size. This value is returned when decompressing a block, so
that if the block needs to be recompressed (L2ARC, nop-write, etc), that
the same parameters will be used to result in the matching checksum.

All of the internal ZFS code ( `arc_buf_hdr_t`, `objset_t`,
`zio_prop_t`, etc.) uses the separated _compress and _complevel
variables.  Only the properties ZAP contains the combined/bit-shifted
value. The combined value is split when the compression_changed_cb()
callback is called, and sets both objset members (os_compress and
os_complevel).

The userspace tools all use the combined/bit-shifted value.

Additional notes:

zdb can now also decode the ZSTD compression header (flag -Z) and
inspect the size, version and compression level saved in that header.
For each record, if it is ZSTD compressed, the parameters of the decoded
compression header get printed.

ZSTD is included with all current tests and new tests are added
as-needed.

Per-dataset feature flags now get activated when the property is set.
If a compression algorithm requires a feature flag, zfs activates the
feature when the property is set, rather than waiting for the first
block to be born.  This is currently only used by zstd but can be
extended as needed.

ZFS Test Suite README

  1. Building and installing the ZFS Test Suite

The ZFS Test Suite runs under the test-runner framework. This framework is built along side the standard ZFS utilities and is included as part of zfs-test package. The zfs-test package can be built from source as follows:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg-utils

The resulting packages can be installed using the rpm or dpkg command as appropriate for your distributions. Alternately, if you have installed ZFS from a distributions repository (not from source) the zfs-test package may be provided for your distribution.

- Installed from source
$ rpm -ivh ./zfs-test*.rpm, or
$ dpkg -i ./zfs-test*.deb,

- Installed from package repository
$ yum install zfs-test
$ apt-get install zfs-test
  1. Running the ZFS Test Suite

The pre-requisites for running the ZFS Test Suite are:

  • Three scratch disks
    • Specify the disks you wish to use in the $DISKS variable, as a space delimited list like this: DISKS='vdb vdc vdd'. By default the zfs-tests.sh script will construct three loopback devices to be used for testing: DISKS='loop0 loop1 loop2'.
  • A non-root user with a full set of basic privileges and the ability to sudo(8) to root without a password to run the test.
  • Specify any pools you wish to preserve as a space delimited list in the $KEEP variable. All pools detected at the start of testing are added automatically.
  • The ZFS Test Suite will add users and groups to test machine to verify functionality. Therefore it is strongly advised that a dedicated test machine, which can be a VM, be used for testing.

Once the pre-requisites are satisfied simply run the zfs-tests.sh script:

$ /usr/share/zfs/zfs-tests.sh

Alternately, the zfs-tests.sh script can be run from the source tree to allow developers to rapidly validate their work. In this mode the ZFS utilities and modules from the source tree will be used (rather than those installed on the system). In order to avoid certain types of failures you will need to ensure the ZFS udev rules are installed. This can be done manually or by ensuring some version of ZFS is installed on the system.

$ ./scripts/zfs-tests.sh

The following zfs-tests.sh options are supported:

-v          Verbose zfs-tests.sh output When specified additional
            information describing the test environment will be logged
            prior to invoking test-runner.  This includes the runfile
            being used, the DISKS targeted, pools to keep, etc.

-q          Quiet test-runner output.  When specified it is passed to
            test-runner(1) which causes output to be written to the
            console only for tests that do not pass and the results
            summary.

-x          Remove all testpools, dm, lo, and files (unsafe).  When
            specified the script will attempt to remove any leftover
            configuration from a previous test run.  This includes
            destroying any pools named testpool, unused DM devices,
            and loopback devices backed by file-vdevs.  This operation
            can be DANGEROUS because it is possible that the script
            will mistakenly remove a resource not related to the testing.

-k          Disable cleanup after test failure.  When specified the
            zfs-tests.sh script will not perform any additional cleanup
            when test-runner exists.  This is useful when the results of
            a specific test need to be preserved for further analysis.

-f          Use sparse files directly instead of loopback devices for
            the testing.  When running in this mode certain tests will
            be skipped which depend on real block devices.

-c          Only create and populate constrained path

-I NUM      Number of iterations

-d DIR      Create sparse files for vdevs in the DIR directory.  By
            default these files are created under /var/tmp/.

-s SIZE     Use vdevs of SIZE (default: 4G)

-r RUNFILES Run tests in RUNFILES (default: common.run,linux.run)

-t PATH     Run single test at PATH relative to test suite

-T TAGS     Comma separated list of tags (default: 'functional')

-u USER     Run single test as USER (default: root)

The ZFS Test Suite allows the user to specify a subset of the tests via a runfile or list of tags.

The format of the runfile is explained in test-runner(1), and the files that zfs-tests.sh uses are available for reference under /usr/share/zfs/runfiles. To specify a custom runfile, use the -r option:

$ /usr/share/zfs/zfs-tests.sh -r my_tests.run

Otherwise user can set needed tags to run only specific tests.

  1. Test results

While the ZFS Test Suite is running, one informational line is printed at the end of each test, and a results summary is printed at the end of the run. The results summary includes the location of the complete logs, which is logged in the form /var/tmp/test_results/[ISO 8601 date]. A normal test run launched with the zfs-tests.sh wrapper script will look something like this:

$ /usr/share/zfs/zfs-tests.sh -v -d /tmp/test
