Most of the zfs_arc_* module parameters do not have their values used by
the ARC code directly. Instead, there is a function, arc_tuning_update,
which is called during module initialization and periodically
thereafter, whose job is to fetch the module parameter values, clamp/
limit them appropriately, and then assign those values to a separate set
of internal variables that are actually referenced by the ARC code.
Commit 3ec34e55 featured an overhaul of arc_reclaim_thread, which is the
former location where the post-init-time calls to arc_tuning_update
would occur. The rework split the work previously done by the
arc_reclaim_thread into a pair of replacement threads; and
unfortunately, the call to arc_tuning_update fell through the cracks and
was lost in the reorganization.
This meant that changing almost any ARC-related zfs module parameter via
/sys/module/zfs/parameters/ would result in the module parameter value
itself appearing to change; however the modification would not actually
propagate to the ARC code and have any real effect.
This commit reinstates the post-init-time call to arc_tuning_update. It
is now called during arc_adjust_cb_check; this should be equivalent to
its former call location in arc_reclaim_thread.
