Motivation and Context

Original PR #15237 thanks to @shodanshok . Moved to its own branch and rebased on master to get another test run.

Description

ZFS prefetch is currently governed by the zfs_prefetch_disable tunable. However, this is a module-wide settings - if a specific dataset benefits from prefetch, while others have issue with it, an optimal solution does not exists.

This commit introduce the "prefetch" tri-state property, which enable granular control (at dataset/volume level) for prefetching.

This patch does not remove the zfs_prefetch_disable, which reimains a system-wide switch for enable/disable prefetch. However, to avoid duplication, it would be preferable to deprecate and then remove the module tunable.

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)
