Use spl_fstrans_mark instead of memalloc_noio_save
For earlier versions of the kernel with memalloc_noio_save, it only turns
off __GFP_IO but leaves __GFP_FS untouched during direct reclaim. This

Instead, we should stick to using spl_fstrans_mark. Since we would

will work on every version of the kernel.

Subclass tq_lock to eliminate a lockdep warning
When taskq_dispatch() calls taskq_thread_spawn() to create a new thread

One such call chain is as follows, when a taskq needs more threads:
taskq_dispatch->taskq_thread_spawn->taskq_dispatch
The initial taskq_dispatch() holds tq_lock on the taskq that needed more
worker threads. The later call into taskq_dispatch() takes
dynamic_taskq->tq_lock. Without subclassing, lockdep believes these

of its frame and restore it at the end of its frame. This allows us to

Use __get_free_pages() for emergency objects
The __get_free_pages() function must be used in place of kmalloc()
to ensure the __GFP_COMP is strictly honored. This is due to
kmalloc() being layered on the generic Linux slab caches. It
wasn't until recently that all caches were created using __GFP_COMP.
This means that it is possible for a kmalloc() which passed the
__GFP_COMP flag to be returned a non-compound allocation.
Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
The kmem cache implementation always adds new slabs by dispatching a
task to the spl_kmem_cache taskq to perform the allocation. This is
done because large slabs must be allocated using vmalloc(). It is
possible these allocations will block on IO because the GFP_NOIO flag
is not honored. This can result in a deadlock.
Therefore, a deadlock detection strategy was implemented to deal with
this case. When it is determined, by timeout, that the spl_kmem_cache
thread has deadlocked attempting to add a new slab. Then all callers
attempting to allocate from the cache fall back to using kmalloc()
which does honor all passed flags.
This logic was correct but an optimization in the code allowed for a
deadlock. Because only slabs backed by vmalloc() can deadlock in the
way described above. An optimization was made to only invoke this
deadlock detection code for vmalloc() backed caches. This had the
advantage of making it easy to distinguish these objects when they
were freed.
But this isn't strictly safe. If all the spl_kmem_cache threads end
up deadlocked than we can't grow any of the other caches either. This
can once again result in a deadlock if memory needs to be allocated
from one of these other caches to ensure forward progress.
The fix here is to remove the optimization which limits this fall back
allocation stratagy to vmalloc() backed caches. Doing this means we
may need to take the cache lock in spl_kmem_cache_free() call path.
But this small cost can be mitigated by ignoring objects with virtual
addresses.
For good measure the default number of spl_kmem_cache threads has been
increased from 1 to 4, and made tunable. This alone wouldn't resolve
the original issue since it's still possible for all the threads to be
deadlocked. However, it does help responsiveness by ensuring that a
single deadlocked spl_kmem_cache thread doesn't block allocations from
other caches until the timeout is reached.

Refine slab cache sizing
This change is designed to improve the memory utilization of
slabs by more carefully setting their size. The way the code
currently works is problematic for slabs which contain large
objects (>1MB). This is due to slabs being unconditionally
rounded up to a power of two which may result in unused space
at the end of the slab.
The reason the existing code rounds up every slab is because it
assumes it will backed by the buddy allocator. Since the buddy
allocator can only performs power of two allocations this is
desirable because it avoids wasting any space. However, this
logic breaks down if slab is backed by vmalloc() which operates
at a page level granularity. In this case, the optimal thing to
do is calculate the minimum required slab size given certain
constraints (object size, alignment, objects/slab, etc).
Therefore, this patch reworks the spl_slab_size() function so
that it sizes KMC_KMEM slabs differently than KMC_VMEM slabs.
KMC_KMEM slabs are rounded up to the nearest power of two, and
KMC_VMEM slabs are allowed to be the minimum required size.
This change also reduces the default number of objects per slab.
This reduces how much memory a single cache object can pin, which
can result in significant memory saving for highly fragmented
caches. But depending on the workload it may result in slabs
being allocated and freed more frequently. In practice, this
has been shown to be a better default for most workloads.
Also the maximum slab size has been reduced to 4MB on 32-bit
systems. Due to the limited virtual address space it's critical
the we be as frugal as possible. A limit of 4M still lets us
reasonably comfortably allocate a limited number of 1MB objects.
Finally, the kmem:slab_small and kmem:slab_large SPLAT tests
were extended to provide better test coverage of various object
sizes and alignments. Caches are created with random parameters
and their basic functionality is verified by allocating several
slabs worth of objects.

Add hooks for disabling direct reclaim
The port of XFS to Linux introduced a thread-specific PF_FSTRANS bit
that is used to mark contexts which are processing transactions. When
set, allocations in this context can dip into kernel memory reserves
to avoid deadlocks during writeback. Linux 3.9 provided the additional
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for disabling __GFP_IO in page allocations, which XFS
began using in 3.15.
This patch implements hooks for marking transactions via PF_FSTRANS.
When an allocation is performed in the context of PF_FSTRANS, any
KM_SLEEP allocation is transparently converted to a GFP_NOIO allocation.
Additionally, when using a Linux 3.9 or newer kernel, it will set
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO to prevent direct reclaim from entering pageout() on
on any KM_PUSHPAGE or KM_NOSLEEP allocation. This effectively allows
the spl_vmalloc() helper function to be used safely in a thread which

1. It replaces the preprocessor kmem flag to gfp flag mapping with
proper translation logic. This eliminates the potential for
surprises that were previously possible where kmem flags were
mapped to gfp flags.
2. It maps vmem_alloc() allocations to kmem_alloc() for allocations
sized less than or equal to the newly-added spl_kmem_alloc_max
parameter. This ensures that small allocations will not contend
on a single global lock, large allocations can still be handled,
and potentially limited virtual address space will not be squandered.
This behavior is entirely different than under Illumos due to
different memory management strategies employed by the respective
kernels. However, this functionally provides the semantics required.
3. The --disable-debug-kmem, --enable-debug-kmem (default), and
--enable-debug-kmem-tracking allocators have been unified in to
a single spl_kmem_alloc_impl() allocation function. This was
done to simplify the code and make it more maintainable.
4. Improve portability by exposing an implementation of the memory
allocations functions that can be safely used in the same way
they are used on Illumos. Specifically, callers may safely
use KM_SLEEP in contexts which perform filesystem IO. This
allows us to eliminate an entire class of Linux specific changes
which were previously required to avoid deadlocking the system.
This change will be largely transparent to existing callers but there
are a few caveats:
1. Because the headers were refactored and extraneous includes removed
callers may find they need to explicitly add additional #includes.
In particular, kmem_cache.h must now be explicitly includes to
access the SPL's kmem cache implementation. This behavior is
different from Illumos but it was done to avoid always masking
the Linux slab functions when kmem.h is included.
2. Callers, like Lustre, which made assumptions about the definitions
of KM_SLEEP, KM_NOSLEEP, and KM_PUSHPAGE will need to be updated.
Other callers such as ZFS which did not will not require changes.
3. KM_PUSHPAGE is no longer overloaded to imply GFP_NOIO. It retains
its original meaning of allowing allocations to access reserved
memory. KM_PUSHPAGE callers can be converted back to KM_SLEEP.
4. The KM_NODEBUG flags has been retired and the default warning
threshold increased to 32k.
5. The kmem_virt() functions has been removed. For callers which
need to distinguish between a physical and virtual address use
is_vmalloc_addr().

Linux 3.12 compat: shrinker semantics
The new shrinker API as of Linux 3.12 modifies "struct shrinker" by
replacing the @shrink callback with the pair of @count_objects and
@scan_objects. It also requires the return value of @count_objects to
return the number of objects actually freed whereas the previous @shrink
callback returned the number of remaining freeable objects.
This patch adds support for the new @scan_objects return value semantics
and updates the splat shrinker test case appropriately.

Merge branch 'cleanup'
Over the years the SPL code bases has accumulated compatibly code
to allow it to build against a wide range of Linux kernels. In
general this is desirable because it makes the code flexible.
However, once support for these old kernels is no longer needed
and is no longer being actively tested it should be removed. This
helps keep the code simple and understandable.
The spl-0.6.x releases have supported kernels all the way back to
2.6.26. This patch stack moves that cut off up to 2.6.32 and newer
kernels. This ensures we still support all the major enterprise
distributions which are largely locked in to 2.6.32 based kernels.
And at the same time we can shed a large amount of compatibility
code which simplifies maintenance and new development.
