MFV r307314:
6988 spa_sync() spends half its time in dmu_objset_do_userquota_updates
Using a benchmark which creates 2 million files in one TXG, I observe
that the thread running spa_sync() is on CPU almost the entire time we
are syncing, and therefore can be a performance bottleneck. About 50% of
the time in spa_sync() is in dmu_objset_do_userquota_updates().
The problem is that dmu_objset_do_userquota_updates() calls
zap_increment_int(DMU_USERUSED_OBJECT) once for every file that was
modified (or created). In this benchmark, all the files are owned by the
same user/group, so all 2 million calls to zap_increment_int() are
modifying the same entry in the zap. The same issue exists for the
DMU_GROUPUSED_OBJECT.
We should keep an in-memory map from user to space delta while we are
syncing, and when we finish, iterate over the in-memory map and modify
the ZAP once per entry. This reduces the number of calls to
zap_increment_int() from "number of objects modified" to "number of
owners/groups of modified files".
This reduced the time spent in spa_sync() in the file create benchmark
by ~33%, from 11 seconds to 7 seconds.
Closes #107
