* OpenZFS 7968 - multi-threaded spa_sync()Matthew Ahrens2017-03-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reviewed by: Pavel Zakharov <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Brad Lewis <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Saso Kiselkov <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Ported-by: Matthew Ahrens <[email protected]> spa_sync() iterates over all the dirty dnodes and processes each of them by calling dnode_sync(). If there are many dirty dnodes (e.g. because we created or removed a lot of files), the single thread of spa_sync() calling dnode_sync() can become a bottleneck. Additionally, if many dnodes are dirtied concurrently in open context (e.g. due to concurrent file creation), the os_lock will experience lock contention via dnode_setdirty(). The solution is to track dirty dnodes on a multilist_t, and for spa_sync() to use separate threads to process each of the sublists in the multilist.

* zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state should be common to all multilistsMatthew Ahrens2017-02-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The global tunable zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state is used by the ARC and the dbuf cache, and other users are planned. We should change this tunable to be common to all multilists. This tuning may be overridden on a per-multilist basis.

* Illumos 5497 - lock contention on arcs_mtxPrakash Surya2015-06-111-0/+105
Reviewed by: George Wilson <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Richard Elling <[email protected]> Approved by: Dan McDonald <[email protected]> Porting notes and other significant code changes: The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch. Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every time it runs. The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts() since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically. Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch: 302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux 39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c" 77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation 94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta Trace support for multilist_insert() and multilist_remove() has been added and produces the following output: fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448324: zfs_multilist__insert: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 63 } fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448347: zfs_multilist__remove: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 29 } The following arcstats have been removed: recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which have been updated appropriately. l2_writes_hdr_miss The following arcstats have been added: evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to evict enough buffers to reach its target amount. evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction because it was being written to the l2arc. l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss. Number of times l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries). arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module parameter (see below). The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme. Additional multilist- related stats could be added in the future but would likely require extensions to the mulilist API. The following module parameters have been added: zfs_arc_evict_batch_limit - Number of ARC headers to free per sub-list before moving on to the next sub-list. zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in the ARC. zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per ARC state. zfs_arc_overflow_shift - Controls amount by which the ARC must exceed the target size to be considered "overflowing".
