MFV r284763: 5981 Deadlock in dmu_objset_find_dp
illumos/illumos-gate@1d3f896f5469c69c1339890ec3d68e9feddb0343
https://www.illumos.org/issues/5981
When dmu_objset_find_dp gets called with a read lock held, it fans out
the work to the task queue. Each task in turn acquires its own read
lock before calling the callback. If during this process anyone tries
to a acquire a write lock, it will stall all read lock requests.Thus
the tasks will never finish, the read lock of the caller will never
get freed and the write lock never acquired. deadlock.

Merge libzfs_core branch:
includes MFV 238590, 238592, 247580
MFV 238590, 238592:
In the first zfs ioctl restructuring phase, the libzfs_core library was
introduced. It is a new thin library that wraps around kernel ioctl's.
The idea is to provide a forward-compatible way of dealing with new
features. Arguments are passed in nvlists and not random zfs_cmd fields,
new-style ioctls are logged to pool history using a new method of
history logging.

MFV 247580 [1]:
To address issues of several deadlocks and race conditions the locking
code around dsl_dataset was rewritten and the interface to synctasks
was changed.
User-Visible Changes:
"zfs snapshot" can create more arbitrary snapshots at once (atomically)
"zfs destroy" destroys multiple snapshots at once
"zfs recv" has improved performance
Backward Compatibility:
I have extended the compatibility layer to support full backward
compatibility by remapping or rewriting the responsible ioctl arguments.
Old utilities are fully supported by the new kernel module.
Forward Compatibility:
New utilities work with old kernels with the following restrictions:
- creating, destroying, holding and releasing of multiple snapshots
at once is not supported, this includes recursive (-r) commands
Illumos ZFS issues:
2882 implement libzfs_core
2900 "zfs snapshot" should be able to create multiple,
arbitrary snapshots at once
3464 zfs synctask code needs restructuring

Update ZFS from version 6 to 13 and bring some FreeBSD-specific changes.
This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:
- Delegated Administration
Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.
- L2ARC
Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.
- slog
Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).
- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot
Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties
- New failure modes
Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests
- Refquota, refreservation properties
Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.
- Sparse volumes
ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.
- External attributes
Compatible with extattr(2).
- NFSv4-ACLs
Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.

- Creation-time properties
- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.
