18  * ZTHR Infrastructure
19  * ===================
20  *
21  * ZTHR threads are used for isolated operations that span multiple txgs
22  * within a SPA. They generally exist from SPA creation/loading and until
23  * the SPA is exported/destroyed. The ideal requirements for an operation
24  * to be modeled with a zthr are the following:
25  *
26  * 1] The operation needs to run over multiple txgs.
27  * 2] There is be a single point of reference in memory or on disk that
28  *    indicates whether the operation should run/is running or has
29  *    stopped.
30  *
31  * If the operation satisfies the above then the following rules guarantee
32  * a certain level of correctness:
33  *
34  * 1] Any thread EXCEPT the zthr changes the work indicator from stopped
35  *    to running but not the opposite.
36  * 2] Only the zthr can change the work indicator from running to stopped
37  *    (e.g. when it is done) but not the opposite.
38  *
39  * This way a normal zthr cycle should go like this:
40  *
41  * 1] An external thread changes the work indicator from stopped to
42  *    running and wakes up the zthr.
43  * 2] The zthr wakes up, checks the indicator and starts working.
44  * 3] When the zthr is done, it changes the indicator to stopped, allowing
45  *    a new cycle to start.
46  *
47  * Besides being awakened by other threads, a zthr can be configured
48  * during creation to wakeup on its own after a specified interval
49  * [see zthr_create_timer()].
50  *
51  * Note: ZTHR threads are NOT a replacement for generic threads! Please
52  * ensure that they fit your use-case well before using them.
53  *
54  * == ZTHR creation
55  *
56  * Every zthr needs four inputs to start running:
57  *
58  * 1] A user-defined checker function (checkfunc) that decides whether
59  *    the zthr should start working or go to sleep. The function should
60  *    return TRUE when the zthr needs to work or FALSE to let it sleep,
61  *    and should adhere to the following signature:
62  *    boolean_t checkfunc_name(void *args, zthr_t *t);
63  *
64  * 2] A user-defined ZTHR function (func) which the zthr executes when
65  *    it is not sleeping. The function should adhere to the following
66  *    signature type:
67  *    void func_name(void *args, zthr_t *t);
68  *
69  * 3] A void args pointer that will be passed to checkfunc and func
70  *    implicitly by the infrastructure.
71  *
72  * 4] A name for the thread. This string must be valid for the lifetime
73  *    of the zthr.
74  *
75  * The reason why the above API needs two different functions,
76  * instead of one that both checks and does the work, has to do with
77  * the zthr's internal state lock (zthr_state_lock) and the allowed
78  * cancellation windows. We want to hold the zthr_state_lock while
79  * running checkfunc but not while running func. This way the zthr
80  * can be cancelled while doing work and not while checking for work.
81  *
82  * To start a zthr:
83  *     zthr_t *zthr_pointer = zthr_create(checkfunc, func, args,
84  *         pri);
85  * or
86  *     zthr_t *zthr_pointer = zthr_create_timer(checkfunc, func,
87  *         args, max_sleep, pri);
88  *
89  * After that you should be able to wakeup, cancel, and resume the
90  * zthr from another thread using the zthr_pointer.
91  *
92  * NOTE: ZTHR threads could potentially wake up spuriously and the
93  * user should take this into account when writing a checkfunc.
94  * [see ZTHR state transitions]
95  *
96  * == ZTHR wakeup
97  *
98  * ZTHR wakeup should be used when new work is added for the zthr. The
99  * sleeping zthr will wakeup, see that it has more work to complete
100  * and proceed. This can be invoked from open or syncing context.
101  *
102  * To wakeup a zthr:
103  *     zthr_wakeup(zthr_t *t)
104  *
105  * == ZTHR cancellation and resumption
106  *
107  * ZTHR threads must be cancelled when their SPA is being exported
108  * or when they need to be paused so they don't interfere with other
109  * operations.
110  *
111  * To cancel a zthr:
112  *     zthr_cancel(zthr_pointer);
113  *
114  * To resume it:
115  *     zthr_resume(zthr_pointer);
116  *
117  * ZTHR cancel and resume should be invoked in open context during the
118  * lifecycle of the pool as it is imported, exported or destroyed.
119  *
120  * A zthr will implicitly check if it has received a cancellation
121  * signal every time func returns and every time it wakes up [see
122  * ZTHR state transitions below].
123  *
124  * At times, waiting for the zthr's func to finish its job may take
125  * time. This may be very time-consuming for some operations that
126  * need to cancel the SPA's zthrs (e.g spa_export). For this scenario
127  * the user can explicitly make their ZTHR function aware of incoming
128  * cancellation signals using zthr_iscancelled(). A common pattern for
129  * that looks like this:
130  *
131  * int
132  * func_name(void *args, zthr_t *t)
133  * {
134  *     ... <unpack args> ...
135  *     while (!work_done && !zthr_iscancelled(t)) {
136  *         ... <do more work> ...
137  *     }
138  * }
139  *
140  * == ZTHR cleanup
141  *
142  * Cancelling a zthr doesn't clean up its metadata (internal locks,
143  * function pointers to func and checkfunc, etc..). This is because
144  * we want to keep them around in case we want to resume the execution
145  * of the zthr later. Similarly for zthrs that exit themselves.
146  *
147  * To completely cleanup a zthr, cancel it first to ensure that it
148  * is not running and then use zthr_destroy().
149  *
150  * == ZTHR state transitions

170  *      | TRUE
171  *      |
172  *      v
173  *   zthr stopped running
174  *
175  * == Implementation of ZTHR requests
176  *
177  * ZTHR cancel and resume are requests on a zthr to change its
178  * internal state. These requests are serialized using the
179  * zthr_request_lock, while changes in its internal state are
180  * protected by the zthr_state_lock. A request will first acquire
181  * the zthr_request_lock and then immediately acquire the
182  * zthr_state_lock. We do this so that incoming requests are
183  * serialized using the request lock, while still allowing us
184  * to use the state lock for thread communication via zthr_cv.
185  *
186  * ZTHR wakeup broadcasts to zthr_cv, causing sleeping threads
187  * to wakeup. It acquires the zthr_state_lock but not the
188  * zthr_request_lock, so that a wakeup on a zthr in the middle
189  * of being cancelled will not block.
