After about 2 weeks with "zfs_abd_scatter_enabled" set to 0 (in form of
r338365 merged back to 11.2-RELEASE and vfs.zfs.abd_scatter_enabled set
to 0) I can confirm that switching of scattered allocations helps, my
performance problems are gone. The system is running fine and zfs-stats
looks good.

To be clear: Switching off scattered allocations has a very positive
effect in this and only this workload. On our other ~100 hosts - some of
them MySQL installations with other workload patterns - the scattered
allocations are a benefit or at least don't hurt.

Regards,
Yamagi
