Description
From George Wilson's analysis of a ZFS hang we were seeing at Delphix:
The deadlock looks like this: - the ZIL interrupt I/O threads are blocked in txg_rele_to_sync() trying to get the tc_lock - the tc_lock is held by a thread in txg_delay that is trying to get the tx_sync_lock - the tx_sync_lock is held by the tag_sync_thread that has called spa_feature_is_active() - the call to spa_feature_is_active() is having to issue a read to read the zap - the read is queued but will never complete because the ZFS I/O pipeline is waiting for another I/O to complete before issuing the next I/O There are actually two issues here: 1). txg_delay should not hold the tc_lock 2). we should cache the async destroying feature and avoid any I/O while holding the tx_sync_lock This bug will focus on issue #2
