1. L2ARC的内容是l2arc_feed_thread函数主动间歇性的从ARC读取的. 所以ARC里没有的内容, L2ARC也不可能有.
2. L2ARC不存储脏数据, 所以也不需要回写到DISK. 鉴于这个因素, L2ARC不适合频繁变更的场景(如oltp中的频繁更新场景)
3. 如果L2ARC中缓存的数据块在ARC变成脏数据了, 这部分数据会直接从L2ARC丢弃.
4. L2ARC的优化参数(配置到/etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf或动态变更/sys/module/zfs/parameters/$PARM_NAME)

/*
* DVA-based Adjustable Replacement Cache
*
* While much of the theory of operation used here is
* based on the self-tuning, low overhead replacement cache
* presented by Megiddo and Modha at FAST 2003, there are some
* significant differences:
*
* 1. The Megiddo and Modha model assumes any page is evictable.
* Pages in its cache cannot be "locked" into memory. This makes
* the eviction algorithm simple: evict the last page in the list.
* This also make the performance characteristics easy to reason
* about. Our cache is not so simple. At any given moment, some
* subset of the blocks in the cache are un-evictable because we
* have handed out a reference to them. Blocks are only evictable
* when there are no external references active. This makes
* eviction far more problematic: we choose to evict the evictable
* blocks that are the "lowest" in the list.
*
* There are times when it is not possible to evict the requested
* space. In these circumstances we are unable to adjust the cache
* size. To prevent the cache growing unbounded at these times we
* implement a "cache throttle" that slows the flow of new data
* into the cache until we can make space available.
*
* 2. The Megiddo and Modha model assumes a fixed cache size.
* Pages are evicted when the cache is full and there is a cache
* miss. Our model has a variable sized cache. It grows with
* high use, but also tries to react to memory pressure from the
* operating system: decreasing its size when system memory is
* tight.
*
* 3. The Megiddo and Modha model assumes a fixed page size. All
* elements of the cache are therefor exactly the same size. So
* when adjusting the cache size following a cache miss, its simply
* a matter of choosing a single page to evict. In our model, we
* have variable sized cache blocks (rangeing from 512 bytes to
* 128K bytes). We therefor choose a set of blocks to evict to make
* space for a cache miss that approximates as closely as possible
* the space used by the new block.
*

/*
* The locking model:
*
* A new reference to a cache buffer can be obtained in two
* ways: 1) via a hash table lookup using the DVA as a key,
* or 2) via one of the ARC lists. The arc_read() interface
* uses method 1, while the internal arc algorithms for
* adjusting the cache use method 2. We therefor provide two
* types of locks: 1) the hash table lock array, and 2) the
* arc list locks.
*
* Buffers do not have their own mutexes, rather they rely on the
* hash table mutexes for the bulk of their protection (i.e. most
* fields in the arc_buf_hdr_t are protected by these mutexes).
*
* buf_hash_find() returns the appropriate mutex (held) when it
* locates the requested buffer in the hash table. It returns
* NULL for the mutex if the buffer was not in the table.
*
* buf_hash_remove() expects the appropriate hash mutex to be
* already held before it is invoked.
*
* Each arc state also has a mutex which is used to protect the
* buffer list associated with the state. When attempting to
* obtain a hash table lock while holding an arc list lock you
* must use: mutex_tryenter() to avoid deadlock. Also note that
* the active state mutex must be held before the ghost state mutex.
*
* Arc buffers may have an associated eviction callback function.
* This function will be invoked prior to removing the buffer (e.g.
* in arc_do_user_evicts()). Note however that the data associated
* with the buffer may be evicted prior to the callback. The callback
* must be made with *no locks held* (to prevent deadlock). Additionally,
* the users of callbacks must ensure that their private data is
* protected from simultaneous callbacks from arc_buf_evict()
* and arc_do_user_evicts().
*
* It as also possible to register a callback which is run when the
* arc_meta_limit is reached and no buffers can be safely evicted. In
* this case the arc user should drop a reference on some arc buffers so
* they can be reclaimed and the arc_meta_limit honored. For example,
* when using the ZPL each dentry holds a references on a znode. These
* dentries must be pruned before the arc buffer holding the znode can
* be safely evicted.
*
* Note that the majority of the performance stats are manipulated
* with atomic operations.
*
* The L2ARC uses the l2arc_buflist_mtx global mutex for the following:
*
* - L2ARC buflist creation
* - L2ARC buflist eviction
* - L2ARC write completion, which walks L2ARC buflists
* - ARC header destruction, as it removes from L2ARC buflists
* - ARC header release, as it removes from L2ARC buflists

/*
* Level 2 ARC
*
* The level 2 ARC (L2ARC) is a cache layer in-between main memory and disk.
* It uses dedicated storage devices to hold cached data, which are populated
* using large infrequent writes. The main role of this cache is to boost
* the performance of random read workloads. The intended L2ARC devices
* include short-stroked disks, solid state disks, and other media with
* substantially faster read latency than disk.
*
* +-----------------------+
* | ARC |
* +-----------------------+
* | ^ ^

* l2arc_feed_thread() arc_read()

* +=========+ `-_____-'
*
* Read requests are satisfied from the following sources, in order:
*
* 1) ARC
* 2) vdev cache of L2ARC devices
* 3) L2ARC devices
* 4) vdev cache of disks
* 5) disks
*
* Some L2ARC device types exhibit extremely slow write performance.
* To accommodate for this there are some significant differences between
* the L2ARC and traditional cache design:
*
* 1. There is no eviction path from the ARC to the L2ARC. Evictions from
* the ARC behave as usual, freeing buffers and placing headers on ghost
* lists. The ARC does not send buffers to the L2ARC during eviction as
* this would add inflated write latencies for all ARC memory pressure.
*
* 2. The L2ARC attempts to cache data from the ARC before it is evicted.
* It does this by periodically scanning buffers from the eviction-end of
* the MFU and MRU ARC lists, copying them to the L2ARC devices if they are
* not already there. It scans until a headroom of buffers is satisfied,
* which itself is a buffer for ARC eviction. If a compressible buffer is
* found during scanning and selected for writing to an L2ARC device, we
* temporarily boost scanning headroom during the next scan cycle to make
* sure we adapt to compression effects (which might significantly reduce
* the data volume we write to L2ARC). The thread that does this is
* l2arc_feed_thread(), illustrated below; example sizes are included to
* provide a better sense of ratio than this diagram:
*
* head --> tail
* +---------------------+----------+
* ARC_mfu |:::::#:::::::::::::::|o#o###o###|-->. # already on L2ARC
* +---------------------+----------+ | o L2ARC eligible
* ARC_mru |:#:::::::::::::::::::|#o#ooo####|-->| : ARC buffer
* +---------------------+----------+ |
* 15.9 Gbytes ^ 32 Mbytes |
* headroom |
* l2arc_feed_thread()
* |
* l2arc write hand <--[oooo]--'
* | 8 Mbyte
* | write max
* V
* +==============================+
* L2ARC dev |####|#|###|###| |####| ... |
* +==============================+
* 32 Gbytes
*
* 3. If an ARC buffer is copied to the L2ARC but then hit instead of
* evicted, then the L2ARC has cached a buffer much sooner than it probably
* needed to, potentially wasting L2ARC device bandwidth and storage. It is
* safe to say that this is an uncommon case, since buffers at the end of
* the ARC lists have moved there due to inactivity.
*
* 4. If the ARC evicts faster than the L2ARC can maintain a headroom,
* then the L2ARC simply misses copying some buffers. This serves as a
* pressure valve to prevent heavy read workloads from both stalling the ARC
* with waits and clogging the L2ARC with writes. This also helps prevent
* the potential for the L2ARC to churn if it attempts to cache content too
* quickly, such as during backups of the entire pool.
*
* 5. After system boot and before the ARC has filled main memory, there are
* no evictions from the ARC and so the tails of the ARC_mfu and ARC_mru
* lists can remain mostly static. Instead of searching from tail of these
* lists as pictured, the l2arc_feed_thread() will search from the list heads
* for eligible buffers, greatly increasing its chance of finding them.
*
* The L2ARC device write speed is also boosted during this time so that
* the L2ARC warms up faster. Since there have been no ARC evictions yet,
* there are no L2ARC reads, and no fear of degrading read performance
* through increased writes.
*
* 6. Writes to the L2ARC devices are grouped and sent in-sequence, so that
* the vdev queue can aggregate them into larger and fewer writes. Each
* device is written to in a rotor fashion, sweeping writes through
* available space then repeating.
*
* 7. The L2ARC does not store dirty content. It never needs to flush
* write buffers back to disk based storage.
*
* 8. If an ARC buffer is written (and dirtied) which also exists in the
* L2ARC, the now stale L2ARC buffer is immediately dropped.
*
* The performance of the L2ARC can be tweaked by a number of tunables, which
* may be necessary for different workloads:
*
* l2arc_write_max max write bytes per interval
* l2arc_write_boost extra write bytes during device warmup
* l2arc_noprefetch skip caching prefetched buffers
* l2arc_nocompress skip compressing buffers
* l2arc_headroom number of max device writes to precache
* l2arc_headroom_boost when we find compressed buffers during ARC
* scanning, we multiply headroom by this
* percentage factor for the next scan cycle,
* since more compressed buffers are likely to
* be present
* l2arc_feed_secs seconds between L2ARC writing
*
* Tunables may be removed or added as future performance improvements are
* integrated, and also may become zpool properties.
*
* There are three key functions that control how the L2ARC warms up:
*
* l2arc_write_eligible() check if a buffer is eligible to cache
* l2arc_write_size() calculate how much to write
* l2arc_write_interval() calculate sleep delay between writes
*
* These three functions determine what to write, how much, and how quickly
* to send writes.
