[pve-devel] [PATCH zfsonlinux v2 0/2] Update to ZFS 2.2.4

[Stoiko Ivanov <s.ivanov@proxmox.com>]

v1->v2:
Patch 2/2 (adaptation of arc_summary/arcstat patch) modified:
* right after sending the v1 I saw a report where pinning kernel 6.2 (thus
  ZFS 2.1) leads to a similar traceback - which I seem to have overlooked
  when packaging 2.2.0 ...
  adapted the patch by booting a VM with kernel 6.2 and the current
  userspace and running arc_summary /arcstat -a until no traceback was
  displayed with a single-disk pool.

original cover-letter for v1:
This patchset updates ZFS to the recently released 2.2.4

We had about half of the patches already in 2.2.3-2, due to the needed
support for kernel 6.8.

Compared to the last 2.2 point releases this one compares quite a few
potential performance improvments:
* for ZVOL workloads (relevant for qemu guests) multiple taskq were
  introduced [1] - this change is active by default (can be put back to
  the old behavior with explicitly setting `zvol_num_taskqs=1`
* the interface for ZFS submitting operations to the kernel's block layer
  was augmented to better deal with split-pages [2] - which should also
  improve performance, and prevent unaligned writes which are rejected by
  e.g. the SCSI subsystem. - The default remains with the current code
  (`zfs_vdev_disk_classic=0` turns on the 'new' behavior...)
* Speculative prefetching was improved [3], which introduced not kstats,
  which are reported by`arc_summary` and `arcstat`, as before with the
  MRU/MFU additions there was not guard for running the new user-space
  with an old kernel resulting in Python exceptions of both tools.
  I adapted the patch where Thomas fixed that back in the 2.1 release
  times. - sending as separate patch for easier review - and I hope it's
  ok that I dropped the S-o-b tag (as it's changed code) - glad to resend
  it, if this should be adapted.

Minimally tested on 2 VMs (the arcstat/arc_summary changes by running with
an old kernel and new user-space)
