--- Comment #15 from Andriy Gapon <avg@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Alexandre Kovalenko from comment #11)
So, it's:

I think I know what's going on in your case (not sure if it's the same a as
previous reports in this bug).  It's probably a consequence of base r330977=
, a
fix to bug 225960.
I didn't fully realize at that time, but that commit introduced a "g_access
lock" in disguise.
So, we went from a LOR between geom topology lock and spa_namespace_lock to=
 a
race caused by dropping the topology lock to a LOR between spa_namespace_lo=
ck
and "g_access lock".

The toughest part now is to decide how to solve the LOR without re-introduc=
ing
the race.  Or alternatively, how to solve the race without introducing a
deadlock.
