High priority threads are handling ZIL writes. While there is no
ZIL compression, there is encryption, checksuming and RAIDZ math.
We've found that on large systems 1 taskq with 5 threads can be
a bottleneck for throughput, IOPS or both. Instead of just bumping
number of threads with a risk of overloading CPUs and increasing
latency, switch to using TQ_FRONT mechanism to increase sync write
requests priority within standard write threads. Do not do it on
Illumos, since its TQ_FRONT implementation is inherently unfair.
FreeBSD and Linux don't have this problem, so we can do it there.

- Reduce number of allocators on small system down to one per 4
CPU cores, keeping maximum at 4 on 16+ core systems. Small systems
should not have the lock contention multiple allocators supposed
to solve, while having several metaslabs open and modified each
TXG is not free.
- Reduce number of write issue taskqs down to one per 16 CPU
cores and an integer fraction of number of allocators. On mid-
sized systems, where multiple allocators already make sense, too
many write issue taskqs may reduce write speed on single-file
workloads, since single file is handled by only one taskq to
reduce fragmentation. On large systems, that can actually benefit
from many taskq's better IOPS, the bottleneck is less important,
since in worst case there will be at least 16 cores to handle it.
- Distribute dnodes between allocators (and taskqs) in a round-
robin fashion instead of relying on sync taskqs to be balanced.
The last is not guarantied and may depend on scheduling.

This commit allow spa_load() to drop the spa_namespace_lock so
that imports can happen concurrently. Prior to dropping the
spa_namespace_lock, the import logic will set the spa_load_thread
value to track the thread which is doing the import.
Consumers of spa_lookup() retain the same behavior by blocking
when either a thread is holding the spa_namespace_lock or the
spa_load_thread value is set. This will ensure that critical
concurrent operations cannot take place while a pool is being
imported.
The zpool command is also enhanced to provide multi-threaded support
when invoking zpool import -a.
Lastly, zinject provides a mechanism to insert artificial delays
when importing a pool and new zfs tests are added to verify parallel
import functionality.

Before this change speculative prefetcher was able to detect a stream
only if all of its accesses are perfectly sequential. It was easy to
implement and is perfectly fine for single-threaded applications.
Unfortunately multi-threaded network servers, such as iSCSI, SMB or
NFS usually have plenty of threads and may often reorder requests,
preventing successful speculation and prefetch.
This change allows speculative prefetcher to detect streams even if
requests are reordered by introducing a list of 9 non-contiguous
ranges up to 16MB ahead of current stream position and filling the
gaps as more requests arrive. It also allows stream to proceed
even with holes up to a certain configurable threshold (25%).

Adds 'ioctl' as a valid IO type for device error injection, so we can

To support this, adding ZIO_STAGE_VDEV_IO_DONE to ZIO_IOCTL_PIPELINE,
since that's where device error injection happens. This needs a small
exclusion to avoid the vdev_queue, since flushes are not queued, and I'm
assuming that the various failure responses are still reasonable for
flush failures (probes, media change, etc). This seems reasonable to me,
as a flush failure is not unlike a write failure in this regard, however
this may be too aggressive or subtle to assume in just this change.

Closes#15533Closes#15588
This commit tackles a number of issues in the way BIOs (`struct bio`)
are constructed for submission to the Linux block layer.
The kernel has a hard upper limit on the number of pages/segments that
can be added to a BIO, as well as a separate limit for each device
(related to its queue depth and other scheduling characteristics).
ZFS counts the number of memory pages in the request ABD
(`abd_nr_pages_off()`, and then uses that as the number of segments to
put into the BIO, up to the hard upper limit. If it requires more than
the limit, it will create multiple BIOs.
Leaving aside the fact that page count method is wrong (see below), not
limiting to the device segment max means that the device driver will
need to split the BIO in half. This is alone is not necessarily a
problem, but it interacts with another issue to cause a much larger
problem.
The kernel function to add a segment to a BIO (`bio_add_page()`) takes a
`struct page` pointer, and offset+len within it. `struct page` can
represent a run of contiguous memory pages (known as a "compound page").
In can be of arbitrary length.
The ZFS functions that count ABD pages and load them into the BIO
(`abd_nr_pages_off()`, `bio_map()` and `abd_bio_map_off()`) will never
consider a page to be more than `PAGE_SIZE` (4K), even if the `struct
page` is for multiple pages. In this case, it will load the same `struct
page` into the BIO multiple times, with the offset adjusted each time.
With a sufficiently large ABD, this can easily lead to the BIO being
entirely filled much earlier than it could have been. This is also
further contributes to the problem caused by the incorrect segment limit
calculation, as its much easier to go past the device limit, and so
require a split.
Again, this is not a problem on its own.
The logic for "never submit more than `PAGE_SIZE`" is actually a little
more subtle. It will actually never submit a buffer that crosses a 4K
page boundary.
In practice, this is fine, as most ABDs are scattered, that is a list of
complete 4K pages, and so are loaded in as such.
Linear ABDs are typically allocated from slabs, and for small sizes they
are frequently not aligned to page boundaries. For example, a 12K
allocation can span four pages, eg:
-- 4K -- -- 4K -- -- 4K -- -- 4K --
| | | | |
:## ######## ######## ######: [1K, 4K, 4K, 3K]
Such an allocation would be loaded into a BIO as you see:
[1K, 4K, 4K, 3K]
This tends not to be a problem in practice, because even if the BIO were
filled and needed to be split, each half would still have either a start
or end aligned to the logical block size of the device (assuming 4K at
least).
---
In ideal circumstances, these shortcomings don't cause any particular
problems. Its when they start to interact with other ZFS features that
things get interesting.
Aggregation will create a "gang" ABD, which is simply a list of other
ABDs. Iterating over a gang ABD is just iterating over each ABD within
it in turn.
Because the segments are simply loaded in order, we can end up with
uneven segments either side of the "gap" between the two ABDs. For
example, two 12K ABDs might be aggregated and then loaded as:
[1K, 4K, 4K, 3K, 2K, 4K, 4K, 2K]
Should a split occur, each individual BIO can end up either having an
start or end offset that is not aligned to the logical block size, which
some drivers (eg SCSI) will reject. However, this tends not to happen
because the default aggregation limit usually keeps the BIO small enough
to not require more than one split, and most pages are actually full 4K
pages, so hitting an uneven gap is very rare anyway.
If the pool is under particular memory pressure, then an IO can be
broken down into a "gang block", a 512-byte block composed of a header
and up to three block pointers. Each points to a fragment of the
original write, or in turn, another gang block, breaking the original
data up over and over until space can be found in the pool for each of
them.
Each gang header is a separate 512-byte memory allocation from a slab,
that needs to be written down to disk. When the gang header is added to
the BIO, its a single 512-byte segment.
Pulling all this together, consider a large aggregated write of gang
blocks. This results a BIO containing lots of 512-byte segments. Given
our tendency to overfill the BIO, a split is likely, and most possible
split points will yield a pair of BIOs that are misaligned. Drivers that
care, like the SCSI driver, will reject them.
---
This commit is a substantial refactor and rewrite of much of `vdev_disk`
to sort all this out.
`vdev_bio_max_segs()` now returns the ideal maximum size for the device,
if available. There's also a tuneable `zfs_vdev_disk_max_segs` to
override this, to assist with testing.
We scan the ABD up front to count the number of pages within it, and to
confirm that if we submitted all those pages to one or more BIOs, it
could be split at any point with creating a misaligned BIO. If the
pages in the BIO are not usable (as in any of the above situations), the
ABD is linearised, and then checked again. This is the same technique
used in `vdev_geom` on FreeBSD, adjusted for Linux's variable page size
and allocator quirks.
`vbio_t` is a cleanup and enhancement of the old `dio_request_t`. The
idea is simply that it can hold all the state needed to create, submit
and return multiple BIOs, including all the refcounts, the ABD copy if
it was needed, and so on. Apart from what I hope is a clearer interface,
the major difference is that because we know how many BIOs we'll need up
front, we don't need the old overflow logic that would grow the BIO
array, throw away all the old work and restart. We can get it right from
the start.

Fixes a small inaccuracy in the description of snapshot

zfs-snapshot(8) appears to contain a small error. The existing

zfs_main.c, which in do_snapshot() simply loops over argv, this

adds a small amount of general explanatory information that may
be helpful.
The change also adds an introductory sentence that summarizes
what 'zfs snapshot' does in the first place. In that sentence,

On Linux the ioctl_ficlonerange() and ioctl_ficlone() system calls
are expected to either fully clone the specified range or return an
error. The range may be for an entire file. While internally ZFS
supports cloning partial ranges there's no way to return the length
cloned to the caller so we need to make this all or nothing.
As part of this change support for the REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN flag
has been added. When REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN is set zfs_clone_range()
will return a shortened range when encountering pending dirty records.
When it's clear zfs_clone_range() will block and wait for the records
to be written out allowing the blocks to be cloned.
Furthermore, the file range lock is held over the region being cloned
to prevent it from being modified while cloning. This doesn't quite
provide an atomic semantics since if an error is encountered only a
portion of the range may be cloned. This will be converted to an
error if REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN was not provided and returned to the
caller. However, the destination file range is left in an undefined
state.
A test case has been added which exercises this functionality by
verifying that `cp --reflink=never|auto|always` works correctly.

We are finding that as customers get larger and faster machines
(hundreds of cores, large NVMe-backed pools) they keep hitting
relatively low performance ceilings. Our profiling work almost always
finds that they're running into bottlenecks on the SPA IO taskqs.
Unfortunately there's often little we can advise at that point, because
there's very few ways to change behaviour without patching.
This commit adds two load-time parameters `zio_taskq_read` and
`zio_taskq_write` that can configure the READ and WRITE IO taskqs
directly.
This achieves two goals: it gives operators (and those that support
them) a way to tune things without requiring a custom build of OpenZFS,
which is often not possible, and it lets us easily try different config
variations in a variety of environments to inform the development of
better defaults for these kind of systems.
Because tuning the IO taskqs really requires a fairly deep understanding
of how IO in ZFS works, and generally isn't needed without a pretty
serious workload and an ability to identify bottlenecks, only minimal
documentation is provided. Its expected that anyone using this is going
to have the source code there as well.

Current L2ARC write rate and headroom parameters are very conservative:
l2arc_write_max=8M and l2arc_headroom=2 (ie: a full L2ARC writes at
8 MB/s, scanning 16/32 MB of ARC tail each time; a warming L2ARC runs
at 2x these rates).
These values were selected 15+ years ago based on then-current SSDs
size, performance and endurance. Today we have multi-TB, fast and
cheap SSDs which can sustain much higher read/write rates.
For this reason, this patch increases l2arc_write_max to 32M and
l2arc_headroom to 8 (4x increase for both).

This feature allows disks to be added one at a time to a RAID-Z group,
expanding its capacity incrementally. This feature is especially useful
for small pools (typically with only one RAID-Z group), where there
isn't sufficient hardware to add capacity by adding a whole new RAID-Z
group (typically doubling the number of disks).
== Initiating expansion ==
A new device (disk) can be attached to an existing RAIDZ vdev, by
running `zpool attach POOL raidzP-N NEW_DEVICE`, e.g. `zpool attach tank
raidz2-0 sda`. The new device will become part of the RAIDZ group. A
"raidz expansion" will be initiated, and the new device will contribute
additional space to the RAIDZ group once the expansion completes.
The `feature@raidz_expansion` on-disk feature flag must be `enabled` to
initiate an expansion, and it remains `active` for the life of the pool.
In other words, pools with expanded RAIDZ vdevs can not be imported by
older releases of the ZFS software.
== During expansion ==
The expansion entails reading all allocated space from existing disks in
the RAIDZ group, and rewriting it to the new disks in the RAIDZ group
(including the newly added device).
The expansion progress can be monitored with `zpool status`.
Data redundancy is maintained during (and after) the expansion. If a
disk fails while the expansion is in progress, the expansion pauses
until the health of the RAIDZ vdev is restored (e.g. by replacing the
failed disk and waiting for reconstruction to complete).
The pool remains accessible during expansion. Following a reboot or
export/import, the expansion resumes where it left off.
== After expansion ==
When the expansion completes, the additional space is available for use,
and is reflected in the `available` zfs property (as seen in `zfs list`,
`df`, etc).
Expansion does not change the number of failures that can be tolerated
without data loss (e.g. a RAIDZ2 is still a RAIDZ2 even after
expansion).
A RAIDZ vdev can be expanded multiple times.
After the expansion completes, old blocks remain with their old
data-to-parity ratio (e.g. 5-wide RAIDZ2, has 3 data to 2 parity), but
distributed among the larger set of disks. New blocks will be written
with the new data-to-parity ratio (e.g. a 5-wide RAIDZ2 which has been
expanded once to 6-wide, has 4 data to 2 parity). However, the RAIDZ
vdev's "assumed parity ratio" does not change, so slightly less space
than is expected may be reported for newly-written blocks, according to
`zfs list`, `df`, `ls -s`, and similar tools.

Closes#15022
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 allows to skip commit delays since we can give up on aggregation
in that case. This removes zil_min_commit_timeout parameter, since
for single-threaded workloads it is not needed at all, while on very
fast devices even some multi-threaded workloads may get detected as
single-threaded and still bypass the wait. To give multi-threaded
workloads more aggregation chances increase zfs_commit_timeout_pct
from 5 to 10%, as they should suffer less from additional latency.
Also single-threaded workloads detection allows in perspective better

ZFS prefetch is currently governed by the zfs_prefetch_disable
tunable. However, this is a module-wide settings - if a specific
dataset benefits from prefetch, while others have issue with it,
an optimal solution does not exists.
This commit introduce the "prefetch" tri-state property, which enable
granular control (at dataset/volume level) for prefetching.
This patch does not remove the zfs_prefetch_disable, which remains
a system-wide switch for enable/disable prefetch. However, to avoid
duplication, it would be preferable to deprecate and then remove
the module tunable.

For synchronous write workloads with large IO sizes, a pool configured
with a slog performs worse than one with an embedded zil:
sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 16 threads
Write IOPS: 1292 438 -66.10%
Write Bandwidth: 1323570 448910 -66.08%
Write Latency: 12128400 36330970 3.0x
sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 32 threads
Write IOPS: 1293 430 -66.74%
Write Bandwidth: 1324184 441188 -66.68%
Write Latency: 24486278 74028536 3.0x
The reason is the `zil_slog_bulk` variable. In `zil_lwb_write_open`,
if a zil block is greater than 768K, the priority of the write is
downgraded from sync to async. Increasing the value allows greater
throughput. To select a value for this PR, I ran an fio workload with
the following values for `zil_slog_bulk`:
zil_slog_bulk KiB/s
1048576 422132
2097152 478935
4194304 533645

100663296 1306821
134217728 1304998
At 64M, the results with a slog are now improved to parity with an
embedded zil:
sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 16 threads
Write IOPS: 438 1288 2.9x
Write Bandwidth: 448910 1319062 2.9x
Write Latency: 36330970 12163408 -66.52%
sequential_writes 1m sync ios, 32 threads
Write IOPS: 430 1290 3.0x
Write Bandwidth: 441188 1321693 3.0x
Write Latency: 74028536 24519698 -66.88%
None of the other tests in the performance suite (run with a zil or
slog) had a significant change, including the random_write_zil tests,
which use multiple datasets.

Before this change ZFS created threads for 50% of CPUs for each top-
level vdev. Plus it created the same number of threads for embedded
log groups (that have only one metaslab and don't need any preload).
As result, on system with 80 CPUs and pool of 60 vdevs this resulted
in 4800 metaslab preload threads, that is absolutely insane.
This patch changes the preload threads to 50% of CPUs in one taskq
per pool, so on the mentioned system it will be only 40 threads.
Among other things this fixes zdb on the mentioned system and pool
on FreeBSD, that failed to create so many threads in one process.

This commit adds '-u' flag for zfs set operation. With this flag,
mountpoint, sharenfs and sharesmb properties can be updated
without actually mounting or sharing the dataset.
Previously, if dataset was unmounted, and mountpoint property was
updated, dataset was not mounted after the update. This behavior
is changed in #15240. We mount the dataset whenever mountpoint
property is updated, regardless if it's mounted or not.
To provide the user with option to keep the dataset unmounted and
still update the mountpoint without mounting the dataset, '-u'
flag can be used.
If any of mountpoint, sharenfs or sharesmb properties are updated
with '-u' flag, the property is set to desired value but the
operation to (re/un)mount and/or (re/un)share the dataset is not
performed and dataset remains as it was before.
