Description

From Matt Ahrens's original bug report at Delphix:

add a new dtrace STD probe, set-error, whose arg0 is an errno.  This probe will
fire when an error is generated (e.g. "return (EINVAL)" or "zio->io_error =
EXDEV;" will use a new SET_ERROR(err) macro which will trigger the probe.

libzpool should support this same functionality via USDT.

This bug uses the new probe throughout all of ZFS which helps when you're seeing an error in ZFS and wondering where it originated.

For example:

dtrace -n 'zfs::set-error { printf("%u %s\\n", arg0, probefunc); stack(); }'

Would show you when errors are generated, you could include a predicate that filters based on a specific errno you are looking for.
