Evict meta data from ghost lists + l2arc headers
When the meta limit is exceeded the ARC evicts some meta data
buffers from the mfu+mru lists. Unfortunately, for meta data
heavy workloads it's possible for these buffers to accumulate
on the ghost lists if arc_c doesn't exceed arc_size.
To handle this case arc_adjust_meta() has been entended to
explicitly evict meta data buffers from the ghost lists in
proportion to what was evicted from the mfu+mru lists.
If this is insufficient we request that the VFS release
some inodes and dentries. This will result in the release
of some dnodes which are counted as 'other' metadata.

Allow arc_evict_ghost() to only evict meta data
The default behavior of arc_evict_ghost() is to start by evicting
data buffers. Then only if the requested number of bytes to evict
cannot be satisfied by data buffers move on to meta data buffers.
This is ideal for honoring arc_c since it's preferable to keep the
meta data cached. However, if we're trying to free memory from the
arc to honor the meta limit it's a problem because we will need to
discard all the data to get to the meta data.
To avoid this issue the arc_evict_ghost() is now passed a fourth
argumented describing which buffer type to start with. The
arc_evict() function already behaves exactly like this for a
same reason so this is consistent with the existing code.
All existing callers have been updated to pass ARC_BUFC_DATA so
this patch introduces no functional change. New callers may
pass ARC_BUFC_METADATA to skip immediately to evicting meta
data leaving the normal data untouched.

Return correct type and offset from zfs_readdir
zfs_readdir() is used by getdents(), which provides a list of all files
in directory, their types and an offset that be used by llseek() to seek
to the next directory entry.
On Solaris, the first two directory entries "." and ".." respectively
have offsets 1 and 2 on ZFS while the other files have rather large
numbers. Currently, ZFSOnLinux is giving "." offset 0 and all other
entries large numbers. The first entry's next entry offset points to
itself, which causes software that uses llseek() in conjunction with
getdents() for filesystem navigation to enter an infinite loop. The
offsets used for each directory entry are filesystem specific on all
platforms, so we can fix this by adopting the Solaris behavior.
Also, we currently report each directory entry as having type 0 (???).
This is not wrong, but we can do better. getdents() on Solaris does not
appear to provide this information, but it does on Linux and Mac OS X
do. ZFS provides easy access to type information in zfs_readdir(), so

Write dirty inodes on close
When the property atime=on is set operations which only access
and inode do cause an atime update. However, it turns out that
dirty inodes with updated atimes are only written to disk when
the inodes get evicted from the cache. Somewhat surprisingly
the source suggests that this isn't a ZoL specific issue.
This behavior may in part explain why zfs's reclaim logic has
been observed to be slow. When reclaiming inodes its likely
that they have a dirty atime which will force a write to disk.
Obviously we don't want to force a write to disk for every
atime update, these needs to be batched. The right way to
do this is to fully implement the .dirty_inode and .write_inode
callbacks. However, to do that right requires proper unification
of some fields in the znode/inode. Then we could just mark the
inode dirty and leave it to the VFS to call .write_inode
periodically.
Until that work gets done we have to settle for some middle
ground. The simplest and safest thing we can do for now is
to write the dirty inode on last close. This should prevent
the majority of inodes in the cache from having dirty atimes
and not drastically increase the number of writes.
Some rudimentally testing to show how long it takes to drop
500,000 inodes from the cache shows promising results. This
is as expected because we're no longer do lots of IO as part
of the eviction, it was done earlier during the close.
w/out patch: ~30s to drop 500,000 inodes with drop_caches.

Fix inaccurate arcstat_l2_hdr_size calculations
Based on the comments in arc.c we know that buffers can exist both
in arc and l2arc, under this circumstance both arc_buf_hdr_t and
l2arc_buf_hdr_t will be allocated. However the current logic only
cares for memory that l2arc_buf_hdr takes up when the buffer's
state transfers from or to arc_l2c_only. This will cause obvious
deviations for illumos's zfs version since the sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr)
is larger than ZOL's. We can implement the calcuation in the
following simple way:
1. When allocate a l2arc_buf_hdr_t we add its memory consumption
instantly and subtract it when we free or evict the l2arc buf.
2. According to l2arc_hdr_stat_add and l2arc_hdr_stat_remove, if
the buffer only stays in l2arc we should also add the memory
its arc_buf_hdr_t consumes, so we only need to add HDR_SIZE to
arcstat_l2_hdr_size since we already concerned with L2HDR_SIZE
in step 1 and the same for transfering arc bufs from l2arc only
state.
The testbox has 2 4-core Intel Xeon CPUs(2.13GHz), with 16GB memory
and tests were set upped in the following way:
1. Fdisked a SATA disk into two partitions, one partition for zpool
storage and the other one was used as the cache device.
2. Generated some files occupying 14GB altogether in the zpool
prepared in step 1 using iozone.
3. Read them all using md5sum and watched the l2arc related statistics
in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats. After the reading ended the
l2_hdr_size and l2_size were shown like this:
these numbers made sense, on 64-bit systems the
sizeof(l2arc_buf_hdr_t) is 16 bytes. Assue all blocks cached by
l2arc are 128KB, so 535600/16*128*1024=4387635200, since not all
blocks are equal-sized, the theoretical result will be a little
bigger, as we can see.
Since I'm familiar with systemtap instrumentation tool I used it to
examine what had happened. The script looked like this:
probe module("zfs").function("arc_chage_state")
{
if ($new_state == $arc_l2_only)
printf("change arc buf to arc_l2_only\n")
}
It will print out some information each time we call funciton
arc_chage_state if the argument new_state is arc_l2_only. I
gathered the trace logs and found that none of the arc bufs ran
into arc state arc_l2_only when the tests was running, this was
the reason why l2_hdr_size in step 3 was 0. The arc bufs fell into
arc_l2_only when the pool or the filesystem was offlined.

Fix arc_adapt() spinning in iterate_supers_type()
The iterate_supers_type() function which was introduced in the

because a list_head was used a bug was introduced which made it
possible for iterate_supers_type() to get stuck spinning on a
super block which was just deactivated.
This can occur because when the list head is removed from the
fs_supers list it is reinitialized to point to itself. If the

removed list_head it will get stuck spinning on that list_head.
The bug was fixed in the 3.3 kernel by converting the list_head

Improve N-way mirror performance
The read bandwidth of an N-way mirror can by increased by 50%,
and the IOPs by 10%, by more carefully selecting the preferred
leaf vdev.
The existing algorthm selects a perferred leaf vdev based on
offset of the zio request modulo the number of members in the
mirror. It assumes the drives are of equal performance and
that spreading the requests randomly over both drives will be
sufficient to saturate them. In practice this results in the
leaf vdevs being under utilized.
Utilization can be improved by preferentially selecting the leaf
vdev with the least pending IO. This prevents leaf vdevs from
being starved and compensates for performance differences between
disks in the mirror. Faster vdevs will be sent more work and
the mirror performance will not be limitted by the slowest drive.
In the common case where all the pending queues are full and there
is no single least busy leaf vdev a batching stratagy is employed.
Of the N least busy vdevs one is selected with equal probability
to be the preferred vdev for T microseconds. Compared to randomly
selecting a vdev to break the tie batching the requests greatly
improves the odds of merging the requests in the Linux elevator.
The testing results show a significant performance improvement
for all four workloads tested. The workloads were generated
using the fio benchmark and are as follows.
1) 1MB sequential reads from 16 threads to 16 files (MB/s).
2) 4KB sequential reads from 16 threads to 16 files (MB/s).
3) 1MB random reads from 16 threads to 16 files (IOP/s).

from loading and can serialize an otherwise parallel boot

reduces the chances of accidentally introducing a race

ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache.
On dcenter, we saw that we were caching ~256GB of metadata, while the
pool only had <4GB of metadata on disk. We were wasting about half the
system's RAM (252GB) on blocks that have been freed.
Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus will
eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory inefficiently for 2
reasons:
1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but will
be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed before it
(and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has at least some
chance of being accessed again.
2. We partition the ARC into several buckets:
user data that has been accessed only once (MRU)
metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU)
user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the primary
control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata is to
simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the past
(each bucket "evicts against" itself). The secondary control is to
evict data before evicting metadata.
Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly
containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has more
recently accessed, still-allocated blocks. Data in the useful bucket
(with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to data in
the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks).
On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the MFU
data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB. However,
the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB) was freed
blocks, and thus useless. Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket (230MB)
was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed.
The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more
investigation. However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should
reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.

Improve OpenRC init script
The current zfs OpenRC script's dependencies cause OpenRC to attempt to
unmount ZFS filesystems at shutdown while things were still using them,
which would fail. This is a cosmetic issue, but it should still be
addressed. It probably does not affect systems where the rootfs is a
legacy filesystem, but any system with the rootfs on ZFS needs to run
the ZFS init script after the system is ready to shutdown filesystems.
OpenRC's shutdown process occurs in the reverse order of the startup
process. Therefore running the ZFS shutdown procedure after filesystems
are ready to be unmounted requires running the startup procedure before
fstab. This patch changes the dependencies of the script to expliclty
run before fstab at boot when the rootfs is ZFS and to run after fstab
at boot whenever the rootfs is not ZFS. This should cover most use
cases.
The only cases not covered well by this are systems with legacy
root filesystems where people want to configure fstab to mount a non-ZFS
filesystem off a zvol and possibly also systems whose pools are stored
on network block devices. The former requires that the ZFS script run
before fstab, which could cause ZFS datasets to mount too early and
appear under the fstab mount points. The latter requires that the ZFS
script run after networking starts, which precludes the ability to store
any system information on ZFS. An additional OpenRC script could be
written to handle non-root pools on network block devices, but that will
depend on user demand and developer time.

The vdev_file.c implementation in this patch diverges significantly
from the upstream version. For consistenty with the vdev_disk.c
code the upstream version leverages the Illumos bio interfaces.
This makes sense for Illumos but not for ZoL for two reasons.
1) The vdev_disk.c code in ZoL has been rewritten to use the
Linux block device interfaces which differ significantly
from those in Illumos. Therefore, updating the vdev_file.c
to use the Illumos interfaces doesn't get you consistency
with vdev_disk.c.
2) Using the upstream patch as is would requiring implementing
compatibility code for those Solaris block device interfaces
in user and kernel space. That additional complexity could
lead to confusion and doesn't buy us anything.
For these reasons I've opted to simply move the existing vn_rdwr()
as is in to the taskq function. This has the advantage of being
low risk and easy to understand. Moving the vn_rdwr() function
in to its own taskq thread also neatly avoids the possibility of
a stack overflow.
Finally, because of the additional work which is being handled by
the free taskq the number of threads has been increased. The
thread count under Illumos defaults to 100 but was decreased to 2
in commit 08d08e due to contention. We increase it to 8 until
the contention can be address by porting Illumos #3581.

reclaim it then issues synchronous I/O to a ZVOL swap device.
Because the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks

sector size (ashift=12). However, for some usage models this

Issue #1380
Commit f6fb7651a0d05b357dc179cc4853263ce15da6ed introduced the idea
of working builds which work correctly. However, because the zfs-kmod
depends on a specific 'spl-devel-kmod = {version}-%{release}' package
and the release component is unique the dependency is never satisfied.
This requires line was introduced to ensure the correct version of the
spl is always used. In this context only the version number is required
so the release component has been dropped to satisfy the dependency.
