The reason is that in the current state all space maps that we allocate through the DMU use a global tunable (space_map_blksz) which defauls to 4KB. This is ok for metaslab space maps in terms of bandwirdth since they are scattered all over the disk. But for other space maps this default is probably not what we want. Examples are device removal's vdev_obsolete_sm or vdev_chedkpoint_sm from this review. Both of these have a 1:1 relationship with each vdev and could benefit from a bigger block size. Porting notes: * The part of dsl_scan_sync() which handles async destroys has been moved into the new dsl_process_async_destroys() function. * Remove "VERIFY(!(flags & FWRITE))" in "kernel.c" so zhack can write to block device backed pools. * ZTS: * Fix get_txg() in zpool_sync_001_pos due to "checkpoint_txg". * Don't use large dd block sizes on /dev/urandom under Linux in checkpoint_capacity. * Adopt Delphix-OS's setting of 4 (spa_asize_inflation = SPA_DVAS_PER_BP + 1) for the checkpoint_capacity test to speed its attempts to fill the pool * Create the base and nested pools with sync=disabled to speed up the "setup" phase. * Clear labels in test pool between checkpoint tests to avoid duplicate pool issues. * The import_rewind_device_replaced test has been marked as "known to fail" for the reasons listed in its DISCLAIMER. * New module parameters: zfs_spa_discard_memory_limit, zfs_remove_max_bytes_pause (not documented - debugging only) vdev_max_ms_count (formerly metaslabs_per_vdev) vdev_min_ms_count Authored by: Serapheim Dimitropoulos <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <[email protected]> Reviewed by: John Kennedy <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Dan Kimmel <[email protected]> Reviewed by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Approved by: Richard Lowe <[email protected]> Ported-by: Tim Chase <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tim Chase <[email protected]> OpenZFS-issue: https://illumos.org/issues/9166 OpenZFS-commit: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/commit/7159fdb8 Closes #7570

* OpenZFS 9079 - race condition in starting and ending condensing thread for ↵Serapheim Dimitropoulos2018-04-141-0/+319
indirect vdevs The timeline of the race condition is the following: [1] Thread A is about to finish condesing the first vdev in spa_condense_indirect_thread(), so it calls the spa_condense_indirect_complete_sync() sync task which sets the spa_condensing_indirect field to NULL. Waiting for the sync task to finish, thread A sleeps until the txg is done. When this happens, thread A will acquire spa_async_lock and set spa_condense_thread to NULL. [2] While thread A waits for the txg to finish, thread B which is running spa_sync() checks whether it should condense the second vdev in vdev_indirect_should_condense() by checking the spa_condensing_indirect field which was set to NULL by spa_condense_indirect_thread() from thread A. So it goes on and tries to spawn a new condensing thread in spa_condense_indirect_start_sync() and the aforementioned assertions fails because thread A has not set spa_condense_thread to NULL (which is basically the last thing it does before returning). The main issue here is that we rely on both spa_condensing_indirect and spa_condense_thread to signify whether a condensing thread is running. Ideally we would only use one throughout the codebase. In addition, for managing spa_condense_thread we currently use spa_async_lock which basically tights condensing to scrubing when it comes to pausing and resuming those actions during spa export. This commit introduces the ZTHR infrastructure, which is basically threads created during spa_load()/spa_create() and exist until we export or destroy the pool. ZTHRs sleep the majority of the time, until they are notified to wake up and do some predefined type of work. In the context of the current bug, a zthr to does the condensing of indirect mappings replacing the older code that used bare kthreads. When a pool is created, the condensing zthr is spawned but sleeps right away, until it is awaken by a signal from spa_sync(). If an existing pool is loaded, the condensing zthr looks if there is anything to condense before going to sleep, in case we were condensing mappings in the pool before it got exported. The benefits of this solution are the following: - The current bug is fixed - spa_condensing_indirect is the sole indicator of whether we are currently condensing or not - condensing is more decoupled from the spa_async_thread related functionality. As a final note, this commit also sets up the path on upstreaming other features that use the ZTHR code like zpool checkpoint and fast clone deletion.
