Description
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).
This also introduce a new allocation tracing facility and two new dcmds to help debug allocation problems. Each zio now contains a zio_alloc_list_t structure that is populated as the zio goes through the allocations stage. Here's an example of how to use the tracing facility:
> c5ec000::print zio_t io_alloc_list | ::walk list | ::metaslab_trace MSID DVA ASIZE WEIGHT RESULT VDEV - 0 400 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE ztest.0a - 0 400 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE ztest.0a - 0 400 0 ENOSPC ztest.0a - 0 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE ztest.0a - 0 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE ztest.0a - 0 200 0 ENOSPC ztest.0a 1 0 400 1 x 8M 17b1a00 ztest.0a > 1ff2400::print zio_t io_alloc_list | ::walk list | ::metaslab_trace MSID DVA ASIZE WEIGHT RESULT VDEV - 0 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE mirror-2 - 0 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE mirror-0 1 0 200 1 x 4M 112ae00 mirror-1 - 1 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE mirror-2 - 1 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE mirror-0 1 1 200 1 x 4M 112b000 mirror-1 - 2 200 0 NOT_ALLOCATABLE mirror-2
If the metaslab is using segment-based weighting then the WEIGHT column will display the number of segments available in the bucket where the allocation attempt was made.
