Work has continued on the candidate patch I posted back in March, and I=20 recently put forward an updated version incorporating changes made by=20 Steve as well that, at least in my testing and (thus far) on one=20 production system here, have completely eliminated the problem. More eyes looking at it and running it down are obvious better so if you = have an interest in this issue or have had problems in this area=20 (/*especially*/ if you have had system "stalls") please check it out. Those who are using my previous patch from back in March definitely want = to look at this; while the March changes did largely fix the issue they=20 did so by moving the "danger zone" further out but did not prevent the=20 ZFS code from invading system RAM to the point that it could produce=20 stalls -- it just made it much less likely. The most-recent patch, as=20 far as I've been able to determine, completely prevent it even when the=20 system is severely overstressed in terms of demanded I/O rate or when=20 the target pool is compromised (e.g. during a resilver operation.)
