9079 race condition in starting and ending condesing thread for indirect vdevs illumos/illumos-gate@667ec66f1b The timeline of the race condition is the following: [1] Thread A is about to finish condesing the first vdev in spa_condense_indirect_thread(), so it calls the spa_condense_indirect_complete_sync() sync task which sets the spa_condensing_indirect field to NULL. Waiting for the sync task to finish, thread A sleeps until the txg is done. When this happens, thread A will acquire spa_async_lock and set spa_condense_thread to NULL. [2] While thread A waits for the txg to finish, thread B which is running spa_sync() checks whether it should condense the second vdev in vdev_indirect_should_condense() by checking the spa_condensing_indirect field which was set to NULL by spa_condense_indirect_thread() from thread A. So it goes on and tries to spawn a new condensing thread in spa_condense_indirect_start_sync() and the aforementioned assertions fails because thread A has not set spa_condense_thread to NULL (which is basically the last thing it does before returning). The main issue here is that we rely on both spa_condensing_indirect and spa_condense_thread to signify whether a condensing thread is running. Ideally we would only use one throughout the codebase. In addition, for managing spa_condense_thread we currently use spa_async_lock which basically tights condensing to scrubing when it comes to pausing and resuming those actions during spa export.
