On FreeBSD vnode reclamation is single-threaded, protected by single
global lock.  Linux seems to be able to use a thread per mount point,
but at this time it creates more harm than good.

Reduce number of threads to 1, adding tunable in case somebody wants
to try more.

Issue openzfs#9966
A recent commit to FreeBSD changed the type of
vop_readdir_args.a_cookies to a uint64_t**.  There is no functional
impact to ZFS because ZFS only uses 32-bit cookies, which will be
zero-extended to 64-bits by the existing code.

When restructuring the zvol_open() logic for the Linux 5.13 kernel
a lock inversion was accidentally introduced.  In the updated code
the spa_namespace_lock is now taken before the zv_suspend_lock
allowing the following scenario to occur:

    down_read <=== waiting for zv_suspend_lock
    zvol_open <=== holds spa_namespace_lock
    __blkdev_get
    blkdev_get_by_dev
    blkdev_open
    ...

     mutex_lock <== waiting for spa_namespace_lock
     spa_open_common
     spa_open
     dsl_pool_hold
     dmu_objset_hold_flags
     dmu_objset_hold
     dsl_prop_get
     dsl_prop_get_integer
     zvol_create_minor
     dmu_recv_end
     zfs_ioc_recv_impl <=== holds zv_suspend_lock via zvol_suspend()
     zfs_ioc_recv
     ...

This commit resolves the issue by moving the acquisition of the
spa_namespace_lock back to after the zv_suspend_lock which restores
the original ordering.

Additionally, as part of this change the error exit paths were
simplified where possible.

Verify that all empty sectors are zero filled before using them to
calculate parity.  Failure to do so can result in incorrect parity
columns being generated and written to disk if the contents of an
empty sector are non-zero.  This was possible because the checksum
only protects the data portions of the buffer, not the empty sector
padding.

This issue has been addressed by updating raidz_parity_verify() to
check that all dRAID empty sectors are zero filled.  Any sectors
which are non-zero will be fixed, repair IO issued, and a checksum
error logged.  They can then be safely used to verify the parity.

This specific type of damage is unlikely to occur since it requires
a disk to have silently returned bad data, for an empty sector, while
performing a scrub.  However, if a pool were to have been damaged
in this way, scrubbing the pool with this change applied will repair
both the empty sector and parity columns as long as the data checksum
is valid.  Checksum errors will be reported in the `zpool status`
output for any repairs which are made.

The FreeBSD implementations of various libspl functions for getting
mounted device information were found to leak several strings which
were being allocated in statfs2mnttab but never freed.

The Solaris getmntany(3C) and related interfaces are expected to return
strings residing in static buffers that need to be copied rather than
freed by the caller.

Use static thread-local storage to stash the mnttab structure strings
from FreeBSD's statfs info rather than strings allocated on the heap by
strdup(3).

While here, remove some stray commented out lines.

When the eviction thread goes to shrink an ARC state, it allocates a set
of marker buffers used to hold its place in the state's sublists.

This can be problematic in low memory conditions, since
1) the allocation can be substantial, as we allocate NCPU markers;
2) on at least FreeBSD, page reclamation can block in
   arc_wait_for_eviction()

In particular, in stress tests it's possible to hit a deadlock on
FreeBSD when the number of free pages is very low, wherein the system is
waiting for the page daemon to reclaim memory, the page daemon is
waiting for the ARC eviction thread to finish, and the ARC eviction
thread is blocked waiting for more memory.

Try to reduce the likelihood of such deadlocks by pre-allocating markers
for the eviction thread at ARC initialization time.  When evicting
buffers from an ARC state, check to see if the current thread is the ARC
eviction thread, and use the pre-allocated markers for that purpose
rather than dynamically allocating them.

FreeBSD's implementation of zfs_uio_fault_move() returns EFAULT when a
page fault occurs while copying data in or out of user buffers.  The VFS
treats such errors specially and will retry the I/O operation (which may
have made some partial progress).

When the FreeBSD and Linux implementations of zfs_write() were merged,
the handling of errors from dmu_write_uio_dbuf() changed such that
EFAULT is not handled as a partial write.  For example, when appending
to a file, the z_size field of the znode is not updated after a partial
write resulting in EFAULT.

Restore the old handling of errors from dmu_write_uio_dbuf() to fix
this.  This should have no impact on Linux, which has special handling
for EFAULT already.

Raw receiving a snapshot back to the originating dataset is currently
impossible because of user accounting being present in the originating
dataset.

One solution would be resetting user accounting when raw receiving on
the receiving dataset. However, to recalculate it we would have to dirty
all dnodes, which may not be preferable on big datasets.

Instead, we rely on the os_phys flag
OBJSET_FLAG_USERACCOUNTING_COMPLETE to indicate that user accounting is
incomplete when raw receiving. Thus, on the next mount of the receiving
dataset the local mac protecting user accounting is zeroed out.
The flag is then cleared when user accounting of the raw received
snapshot is calculated.

On FreeBSD pools are not allowed to be created using vdevs which are
backed by ZFS volumes.  This configuration is not recommended for any
supported platform, nevertheless the largest_pool_001_pos.ksh test
case makes use of it as a convenience.  This causes the test case to
fail reliably on FreeBSD.  The layout is still tolerated on Linux
so only perform this test on Linux.

There seems to be some unexpected checksum errors that are causing a number of the FreeBSD tests to fail:

    FAIL redundancy/redundancy_draid (expected PASS)
    FAIL redundancy/redundancy_draid_damaged (expected PASS)
    FAIL redundancy/redundancy_draid_spare1 (expected PASS)
    FAIL redundancy/redundancy_draid_spare2 (expected PASS)
    FAIL redundancy/redundancy_draid_spare3 (expected PASS)
    FAIL replacement/replace_rebuild (expected PASS)
    FAIL replacement/replace_resilver (expected PASS)

I'm going to look into those..

As explained by the disclaimer in the test case,

    "This test can fail since nothing guarantees that old
    MOS blocks aren't overwritten."

This behavior is expected and correct, but results in a
flaky test case which is problematic for the CI.  The best
we can do to resolve this is to retry the sub-test which
failed when the MOS blocks have clearly been overwritten.

When testing failures were rare enough that a single retry
should normally be sufficient.  However, we allow up to
five for good measure.

When rolling back a dataset, ZFS has to purge file data resident in the
system page cache.  To do this, it loops over all vnodes for the
mountpoint and calls vn_pages_remove() to purge pages associated with
the vnode's VM object.  Each page is thus exclusively busied while the
dataset's teardown write lock is held.

When handling a page fault on a mapped ZFS file, FreeBSD's page fault
handler busies newly allocated pages and then uses VOP_GETPAGES to fill
them.  The ZFS getpages VOP acquires the teardown read lock with vnode
pages already busied.  This represents a lock order reversal which can
lead to deadlock.

To break the deadlock, observe that zfs_rezget() need only purge those
pages marked valid, and that pages busied by the page fault handler are,
by definition, invalid.  Furthermore, ZFS pages always transition from
invalid to valid with the teardown lock held, and ZFS never creates
partially valid pages.  Thus, zfs_rezget() can use the new
vn_pages_remove_valid() to skip over pages busied by the fault handler.

It's odd that inheritance/inherit_001_pos failing on FreeBSD was considered unexpected. It's on the maybe list to fail for FreeBSD.
In fact, the zts-report.py output for that stable/13 run looks pretty messed up overall. The run on FreeBSD main looks fine though.

When unlinking multiple files from a pool at 100% capacity, it was
possible for ENOSPC to be returned after the first unlink.  e.g.

    rm -f /mnt/fs/test1.0.0 /mnt/fs/test1.1.0 /mnt/fs/test1.2.0
    rm: cannot remove '/mnt/fs/test1.1.0': No space left on device
    rm: cannot remove '/mnt/fs/test1.2.0': No space left on device

After waiting for the pending deferred frees from the first unlink to
be processed the remaining files can then be unlinked.  This is caused
by the quota limit in dsl_dir_tempreserve_impl() being temporarily
decreased to the allocatable pool capacity less any deferred free
space.

This is resolved using the existing mechanism of returning ERESTART
when over quota as long as we know enough space will shortly be
available after processing the pending deferred frees.

@freqlabs I'm not sure I follow. I don't have the test run link handy anymore, but what I recall from the log was the inheritance/inherit_001_pos test failed, was then retried because it was in the "maybe" list, but the retry also failed. Aside from the test failing twice in a row, it seems to me the test suite itself handled this right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this release supposed to still not be compatible with kernels newer than 5.15, despite all the fixes cherry-picked into this branch? At least I don't see anything that bumps the relevant field in the metadata file. Does this mean that we'll have to wait another couple months before being able to use ZFS with 5.16 or 5.17?

@tonyhutter in that case, would you be willing to make a release with just the meta bump faster if it turns out that ZFS is already compatible on 5.17 release? Sorry if that's unreasonable, I'm not too familiar with OpenZFS release process.

It might also be a good idea to have a rolling point release for every kernel release, even if just to bump the supported kernel version. If zfs is being tested against all the RC kernels, (ideally there would be some level of CI for this—ubuntu'd mainline kernel builds might make this relatively easy), then a point release just after final kernel release would help people who test the mainline kernels and people who test zfs, helping both projects.
