We recently had nodes with some of the latest zfs bits panic on us in a
rollback-heavy environment. The following is from my preliminary analysis:
Let's look at where we died:
> $C
ffffff01ea6b9a10 taskq_dispatch+0x3a(0, fffffffff7d20450, ffffff5551dea920, 1)
ffffff01ea6b9a60 zil_clean+0xce(ffffff4b7106c080, 7e0f1)
ffffff01ea6b9aa0 dsl_pool_sync_done+0x47(ffffff4313065680, 7e0f1)
ffffff01ea6b9b70 spa_sync+0x55f(ffffff4310c1d040, 7e0f1)
ffffff01ea6b9c20 txg_sync_thread+0x20f(ffffff4313065680)
ffffff01ea6b9c30 thread_start+8()
If we dig in we can find that this dataset corresponds to a zone:
> ffffff4b7106c080::print zilog_t zl_os->os_dsl_dataset->ds_dir->dd_myname
zl_os->os_dsl_dataset->ds_dir->dd_myname = [ "8ffce16a-13c2-4efa-a233-
9e378e89877b" ]
Okay so we have a null taskq pointer. That only happens during the calls to
zil_open and zil_close. If we poke around we can see that we're actually in
midst of a rollback:
