With zl_suspend read in zil_commit() not protected by any locks it is possible for new ZIL writes to be in progress while zil_destroy() called by zil_suspend() freeing them. This patch closes the race by taking zl_issuer_lock in zil_suspend() and adding the second zl_suspend check to zil_get_commit_list(), protected by the lock. It allows all already queued transactions to be logged normally, while blocks any new ones, calling txg_wait_synced() for the TXGs.

Comparing to #14514 this does not introduce any new locks in the hot path, so if nothing else it should be faster.

How Has This Been Tested?

Not really. I have no reproduction to the original issue, so just looked on the code on @grwilson request.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Performance enhancement (non-breaking change which improves efficiency)
  • Code cleanup (non-breaking change which makes code smaller or more readable)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Library ABI change (libzfs, libzfs_core, libnvpair, libuutil and libzfsbootenv)
  • Documentation (a change to man pages or other documentation)

@amotin could this potentially explain #14872? If so we could revert e085e98 to test the fix.

@behlendorf As I can see, it should fix only snapshot creation on old pre-SPA_VERSION_FAST_SNAP pools and some very few specific vdev manipulations: mirror splitting, log vdev offlining/removal, vdev passivating. So I can only speculate that it can be a delayed effect from some other tests, but that is probably a stretch.

This locking was recently added as part of openzfs#14979. But appears it
is illegal to take zl_issuer_lock while holding dp_config_rwlock,
taken by dsl_pool_hold().  It causes deadlock with sync thread in
spa_sync_upgrades().  On a second throught though, we should not
need this locking, since zil_commit_impl() we call below takes
zl_issuer_lock, that should sufficiently protect zl_suspend reads,
combined with other logic from openzfs#14979.
