* zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state should be common to all multilistsMatthew Ahrens2017-02-151-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Update deadman operation to better align with upstream OpenZFSTim Chase2017-01-311-8/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The deadman in ZoL didn't behave quite as it did in upstream OpenZFS. In addition to the 2 purposes for which OpenZFS used the zfs_deadman_synctime_ms parameter, ZoL also used it to determine how frequently the deadman would fire once it has been triggered. This patch adds the zfs_deadman_checktime_ms parameter to control how frequently the subsequent checks are performed. The deadman is now disabled for suspended pools. As had been the case, unlike upstream OpenZFS, ZoL will not panic when a hung IO is detected. The module parameter documentation has been upated to include the new parameter and to better describe the operation of the deadmen.

* OpenZFS 7303 - dynamic metaslab selectionDon Brady2017-01-121-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change introduces a new weighting algorithm to improve metaslab selection. The new weighting algorithm relies on the SPACEMAP_HISTOGRAM feature. As a result, the metaslab weight now encodes the type of weighting algorithm used (size-based vs segment-based). Porting Notes: The metaslab allocation tracing code is conditionally removed on linux (dependent on mdb debugger).

It would be nice to preserve as much of the logical order as possible. In addition, the allocations are equally scattered across all top-level VDEVs but not all top-level VDEVs are created equally. The pipeline should be able to detect devices that are more capable of handling allocations and should allocate more blocks to those devices. This allows for dynamic allocation distribution when devices are imbalanced as fuller devices will tend to be slower than empty devices. The change includes a new pool-wide allocation queue which would throttle and order allocations in the ZIO pipeline. The queue would be ordered by issued time and offset and would provide an initial amount of allocation of work to each top-level vdev. The allocation logic utilizes a reservation system to reserve allocations that will be performed by the allocator. Once an allocation is successfully completed it's scheduled on a given top-level vdev. Each top-level vdev maintains a maximum number of allocations that it can handle (mg_alloc_queue_depth). The pool-wide reserved allocations (top-levels * mg_alloc_queue_depth) are distributed across the top-level vdevs metaslab groups and round robin across all eligible metaslab groups to distribute the work. As top-levels complete their work, they receive additional work from the pool-wide allocation queue until the allocation queue is emptied.

* Add parity generation/rebuild using 128-bits NEON for Aarch64Romain Dolbeau2016-10-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This re-use the framework established for SSE2, SSSE3 and AVX2. However, GCC is using FP registers on Aarch64, so unlike SSE/AVX2 we can't rely on the registers being left alone between ASM statements. So instead, the NEON code uses C variables and GCC extended ASM syntax. Note that since the kernel explicitly disable vector registers, they have to be locally re-enabled explicitly. As we use the variable's number to define the symbolic name, and GCC won't allow duplicate symbolic names, numbers have to be unique. Even when the code is not going to be used (e.g. the case for 4 registers when using the macro with only 2). Only the actually used variables should be declared, otherwise the build will fails in debug mode. This requires the replacement of the XOR(X,X) syntax by a new ZERO(X) macro, which does the same thing but without repeating the argument. And perhaps someday there will be a machine where there is a more efficient way to zero a register than XOR with itself. This affects scalar, SSE2, SSSE3 and AVX2 as they need the new macro. It's possible to write faster implementations (different scheduling, different unrolling, interleaving NEON and scalar, ...) for various cores, but this one has the advantage of fitting in the current state of the code, and thus is likely easier to review/check/merge. The only difference between aarch64-neon and aarch64-neonx2 is that aarch64-neonx2 unroll some functions some more.

I've added a new member to l1 arc hdr called b_pdata. The b_pdata always hangs off the arc_buf_hdr_t (if an L1 hdr is in use) and points to the physical block for that DVA. The physical block may or may not be compressed. If compressed arc is enabled and the block on-disk is compressed, then the b_pdata will match the block on-disk and remain compressed in memory. If the block on disk is not compressed, then neither will the b_pdata. Lastly, if compressed arc is disabled, then b_pdata will always be an uncompressed version of the on-disk block. Typically the arc will cache only the arc_buf_hdr_t and will aggressively evict any arc_buf_t's that are no longer referenced. This means that the arc will primarily have compressed blocks as the arc_buf_t's are considered overhead and are always uncompressed. When a consumer reads a block we first look to see if the arc_buf_hdr_t is cached. If the hdr is cached then we allocate a new arc_buf_t and decompress the b_pdata contents into the arc_buf_t's b_data. If the hdr already has a arc_buf_t, then we will allocate an additional arc_buf_t and bcopy the uncompressed contents from the first arc_buf_t to the new one. Writing to the compressed arc requires that we first discard the b_pdata since the physical block is about to be rewritten. The new data contents will be passed in via an arc_buf_t (uncompressed) and during the I/O pipeline stages we will copy the physical block contents to a newly allocated b_pdata. When an l2arc is inuse it will also take advantage of the b_pdata. Now the l2arc will always write the contents of b_pdata to the l2arc. This means that when compressed arc is enabled that the l2arc blocks are identical to those stored in the main data pool. This provides a significant advantage since we can leverage the bp's checksum when reading from the l2arc to determine if the contents are valid. If the compressed arc is disabled, then we must first transform the read block to look like the physical block in the main data pool before comparing the checksum and determining it's valid.

* Limit the amount of dnode metadata in the ARCTim Chase2016-07-251-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Metadata-intensive workloads can cause the ARC to become permanently filled with dnode_t objects as they're pinned by the VFS layer. Subsequent data-intensive workloads may only benefit from about 25% of the potential ARC (arc_c_max - arc_meta_limit). In order to help track metadata usage more precisely, the other_size metadata arcstat has replaced with dbuf_size, dnode_size and bonus_size. The new zfs_arc_dnode_limit tunable, which defaults to 10% of zfs_arc_meta_limit, defines the minimum number of bytes which is desirable to be consumed by dnodes. Attempts to evict non-metadata will trigger async prune tasks if the space used by dnodes exceeds this limit. The new zfs_arc_dnode_reduce_percent tunable specifies the amount by which the excess dnode space is attempted to be pruned as a percentage of the amount by which zfs_arc_dnode_limit is being exceeded. By default, it tries to unpin 10% of the dnodes. The problem of dnode metadata pinning was observed with the following testing procedure (in this example, zfs_arc_max is set to 4GiB): - Create a large number of small files until arc_meta_used exceeds arc_meta_limit (3GiB with default tuning) and arc_prune starts increasing. - Create a 3GiB file with dd. Observe arc_mata_used. It will still be around 3GiB. - Repeatedly read the 3GiB file and observe arc_meta_limit as before. It will continue to stay around 3GiB. With this modification, space for the 3GiB file is gradually made available as subsequent demands on the ARC are made. The previous behavior can be restored by setting zfs_arc_dnode_limit to the same value as the zfs_arc_meta_limit.

* Implement large_dnode pool featureNed Bass2016-06-241-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Justification ------------- This feature adds support for variable length dnodes. Our motivation is to eliminate the overhead associated with using spill blocks. Spill blocks are used to store system attribute data (i.e. file metadata) that does not fit in the dnode's bonus buffer. By allowing a larger bonus buffer area the use of a spill block can be avoided. Spill blocks potentially incur an additional read I/O for every dnode in a dnode block. As a worst case example, reading 32 dnodes from a 16k dnode block and all of the spill blocks could issue 33 separate reads. Now suppose those dnodes have size 1024 and therefore don't need spill blocks. Then the worst case number of blocks read is reduced to from 33 to two--one per dnode block. In practice spill blocks may tend to be co-located on disk with the dnode blocks so the reduction in I/O would not be this drastic. In a badly fragmented pool, however, the improvement could be significant. ZFS-on-Linux systems that make heavy use of extended attributes would benefit from this feature. In particular, ZFS-on-Linux supports the xattr=sa dataset property which allows file extended attribute data to be stored in the dnode bonus buffer as an alternative to the traditional directory-based format. Workloads such as SELinux and the Lustre distributed filesystem often store enough xattr data to force spill bocks when xattr=sa is in effect. Large dnodes may therefore provide a performance benefit to such systems. Other use cases that may benefit from this feature include files with large ACLs and symbolic links with long target names. Furthermore, this feature may be desirable on other platforms in case future applications or features are developed that could make use of a larger bonus buffer area. Implementation -------------- The size of a dnode may be a multiple of 512 bytes up to the size of a dnode block (currently 16384 bytes). A dn_extra_slots field was added to the current on-disk dnode_phys_t structure to describe the size of the physical dnode on disk. The 8 bits for this field were taken from the zero filled dn_pad2 field. The field represents how many "extra" dnode_phys_t slots a dnode consumes in its dnode block. This convention results in a value of 0 for 512 byte dnodes which preserves on-disk format compatibility with older software. Similarly, the in-memory dnode_t structure has a new dn_num_slots field to represent the total number of dnode_phys_t slots consumed on disk. Thus dn->dn_num_slots is 1 greater than the corresponding dnp->dn_extra_slots. This difference in convention was adopted because, unlike on-disk structures, backward compatibility is not a concern for in-memory objects, so we used a more natural way to represent size for a dnode_t. The default size for newly created dnodes is determined by the value of a new "dnodesize" dataset property. By default the property is set to "legacy" which is compatible with older software. Setting the property to "auto" will allow the filesystem to choose the most suitable dnode size. Currently this just sets the default dnode size to 1k, but future code improvements could dynamically choose a size based on observed workload patterns. Dnodes of varying sizes can coexist within the same dataset and even within the same dnode block. For example, to enable automatically-sized dnodes, run # zfs set dnodesize=auto tank/fish The user can also specify literal values for the dnodesize property. These are currently limited to powers of two from 1k to 16k. The power-of-2 limitation is only for simplicity of the user interface. Internally the implementation can handle any multiple of 512 up to 16k, and consumers of the DMU API can specify any legal dnode value. The size of a new dnode is determined at object allocation time and stored as a new field in the znode in-memory structure. New DMU interfaces are added to allow the consumer to specify the dnode size that a newly allocated object should use. Existing interfaces are unchanged to avoid having to update every call site and to preserve compatibility with external consumers such as Lustre. The new interfaces names are given below. The versions of these functions that don't take a dnodesize parameter now just call the _dnsize() versions with a dnodesize of 0, which means use the legacy dnode size. New DMU interfaces: dmu_object_alloc_dnsize() dmu_object_claim_dnsize() dmu_object_reclaim_dnsize() New ZAP interfaces: zap_create_dnsize() zap_create_norm_dnsize() zap_create_flags_dnsize() zap_create_claim_norm_dnsize() zap_create_link_dnsize() The constant DN_MAX_BONUSLEN is renamed to DN_OLD_MAX_BONUSLEN. The spa_maxdnodesize() function should be used to determine the maximum bonus length for a pool. These are a few noteworthy changes to key functions: * The prototype for dnode_hold_impl() now takes a "slots" parameter. When the DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE flag is set, this parameter is used to ensure the hole at the specified object offset is large enough to hold the dnode being created. The slots parameter is also used to ensure a dnode does not span multiple dnode blocks. In both of these cases, if a failure occurs, ENOSPC is returned. Keep in mind, these failure cases are only possible when using DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE. If the DNODE_MUST_BE_ALLOCATED flag is set, "slots" must be 0. dnode_hold_impl() will check if the requested dnode is already consumed as an extra dnode slot by an large dnode, in which case it returns ENOENT. * The function dmu_object_alloc() advances to the next dnode block if dnode_hold_impl() returns an error for a requested object. This is because the beginning of the next dnode block is the only location it can safely assume to either be a hole or a valid starting point for a dnode. * dnode_next_offset_level() and other functions that iterate through dnode blocks may no longer use a simple array indexing scheme. These now use the current dnode's dn_num_slots field to advance to the next dnode in the block. This is to ensure we properly skip the current dnode's bonus area and don't interpret it as a valid dnode. zdb --- The zdb command was updated to display a dnode's size under the "dnsize" column when the object is dumped. For ZIL create log records, zdb will now display the slot count for the object. ztest ----- Ztest chooses a random dnodesize for every newly created object. The random distribution is more heavily weighted toward small dnodes to better simulate real-world datasets. Unused bonus buffer space is filled with non-zero values computed from the object number, dataset id, offset, and generation number. This helps ensure that the dnode traversal code properly skips the interior regions of large dnodes, and that these interior regions are not overwritten by data belonging to other dnodes. A new test visits each object in a dataset. It verifies that the actual dnode size matches what was stored in the ztest block tag when it was created. It also verifies that the unused bonus buffer space is filled with the expected data patterns. ZFS Test Suite -------------- Added six new large dnode-specific tests, and integrated the dnodesize property into existing tests for zfs allow and send/recv. Send/Receive ------------ ZFS send streams for datasets containing large dnodes cannot be received on pools that don't support the large_dnode feature. A send stream with large dnodes sets a DMU_BACKUP_FEATURE_LARGE_DNODE flag which will be unrecognized by an incompatible receiving pool so that the zfs receive will fail gracefully. While not implemented here, it may be possible to generate a backward-compatible send stream from a dataset containing large dnodes. The implementation may be tricky, however, because the send object record for a large dnode would need to be resized to a 512 byte dnode, possibly kicking in a spill block in the process. This means we would need to construct a new SA layout and possibly register it in the SA layout object. The SA layout is normally just sent as an ordinary object record. But if we are constructing new layouts while generating the send stream we'd have to build the SA layout object dynamically and send it at the end of the stream. For sending and receiving between pools that do support large dnodes, the drr_object send record type is extended with a new field to store the dnode slot count. This field was repurposed from unused padding in the structure. ZIL Replay ---------- The dnode slot count is stored in the uppermost 8 bits of the lr_foid field. The bits were unused as the object id is currently capped at 48 bits. Resizing Dnodes --------------- It should be possible to resize a dnode when it is dirtied if the current dnodesize dataset property differs from the dnode's size, but this functionality is not currently implemented. Clearly a dnode can only grow if there are sufficient contiguous unused slots in the dnode block, but it should always be possible to shrink a dnode. Growing dnodes may be useful to reduce fragmentation in a pool with many spill blocks in use. Shrinking dnodes may be useful to allow sending a dataset to a pool that doesn't support the large_dnode feature. Feature Reference Counting -------------------------- The reference count for the large_dnode pool feature tracks the number of datasets that have ever contained a dnode of size larger than 512 bytes. The first time a large dnode is created in a dataset the dataset is converted to an extensible dataset. This is a one-way operation and the only way to decrement the feature count is to destroy the dataset, even if the dataset no longer contains any large dnodes. The complexity of reference counting on a per-dnode basis was too high, so we chose to track it on a per-dataset basis similarly to the large_block feature.

The existing algorithm selects a preferred leaf vdev based on offset of the zio request modulo the number of members in the mirror. It assumes the devices 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. The new algorithm takes into the following additional factors: * Load of the vdevs (number outstanding I/O requests) * The locality of last queued I/O vs the new I/O request. Within the locality calculation additional knowledge about the underlying vdev is considered such as; is the device backing the vdev a rotating media device. This results in performance increases across the board as well as significant increases for predominantly streaming loads and for configurations which don't have evenly performing devices.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reintroduce a slightly adapted version of the Illumos logic for synchronous unlinks. The basic idea here is that only files smaller than zfs_delete_blocks (20480) blocks should be deleted synchronously. Unlinking larger files should be handled asynchronously to minimize impact to the caller. To accomplish this iput() which is responsible for calling zfs_znode_delete() on Linux is only called in the delete_now path. Otherwise zfs_async_iput() is used which allows the last reference to be dropped by a taskq thread effectively making the removal asynchronous. Porting notes: - Add zfs_delete_blocks module option for performance analysis. The default value is DMU_MAX_DELETEBLKCNT which is the same as upstream. Reducing this value means that smaller files will be unlinked asynchronously like large files. - All occurrences of zfsvfs changes to zsb.

* zvol processing should use struct bioRichard Yao2015-09-041-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices. However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this. This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%. Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own elevators to merge IOs. Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our ->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request() function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits: 1. No per zvol spinlocks. 2. No redundant IO elevator processing. 3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary. 4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy. 5. Linux's page out routines will properly block. 6. Many autotools checks become obsolete. An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools do. Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production ready, this is not a blocker. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <[email protected]>
* Add spa_slop_shift module optionBrian Behlendorf2015-09-021-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | Allow for easy turning of a pools reserved free space. Previous versions of ZFS (v0.6.4 and earlier) held 1/64 of the pools capacity in reserve. Commits 3d45fdd and 0c60cc3 increased this to 1/32. Setting spa_slop_shift=6 will restore the previous default setting. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #3724

* Update arc_memory_throttle() to check pageoutBrian Behlendorf2015-07-301-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This brings the behavior of arc_memory_throttle() back in sync with illumos. The updated memory throttling policy roughly goes like this: * Never throttle if more than 10% of memory is free. This threshold is configurable with the zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent module option. * Minimize any throttling of kswapd even when free memory is below the set threshold. Allow it to write out pages as quickly as possible to help alleviate the memory pressure. * Delay all other threads when free memory is below the set threshold in order to avoid compounding the memory pressure. Buffers will be evicted from the ARC to reduce the issue. The Linux specific zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable module option has been removed in favor of the existing zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent tuning. Setting zfs_arc_lotsfree_percent=0 will have the same effect as zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable and it was therefore redundant. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #3637
* Update arc_available_memory() to check freememBrian Behlendorf2015-07-301-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of the VM it does provide us total free pages. This information should be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim. Conceptually this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos. It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable on a system. While the default values are expected to work well for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed. The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose. zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave as free memory on the system. This value can checked in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats and setting this module option will override the default value. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #3637
* Bound zvol_threads module optionBrian Behlendorf2015-07-291-1/+1

* Reinstate zfs_arc_p_min_shiftBrian Behlendorf2015-07-231-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f521ce1 removed the minimum value for "arc_p" allowing it to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c". This was done to improve specific workload which constantly dirties new "metadata" but also frequently touches a "small" amount of mfu data (e.g. mkdir's). This change may still be desirable but it needs to be re-investigated. in the context of the recent ARC changes from upstream. Therefore this code is being restored to facilitate benchmarking. By setting "zfs_arc_p_min_shift=64" we easily compare the performance. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #3533

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".
