This deadlock may manifest itself in slightly different ways but
at the core it is caused by a memory allocation blocking on file-
system reclaim in the zio pipeline. This is normally impossible
because zio_execute() disables filesystem reclaim by setting
PF_FSTRANS on the thread. However, kmem cache allocations may
still indirectly block on file system reclaim while holding the
critical vq->vq_lock as shown below.
To resolve this issue zio_buf_alloc_flags() is introduced which
allocation flags to be passed. This can then be used in
vdev_queue_aggregate() with KM_NOSLEEP when allocating the
aggregate IO buffer. Since aggregating the IO is purely a
performance optimization we want this to either succeed or fail
quickly. Trying too hard to allocate this memory under the
vq->vq_lock can negatively impact performance and result in
this deadlock.
