dnode_next_offset is used in a variety of places to iterate over the
holes or allocated blocks in a dnode. It operates under the premise that
it can iterate over the blockpointers of a dnode in open context while
holding only the dn_struct_rwlock as reader. Unfortunately, this premise
does not hold.

When we create the zio for a dbuf, we pass in the actual block pointer
in the indirect block above that dbuf. When we later zero the bp in
zio_write_compress, we are directly modifying the bp. The state of the
bp is now inconsistent from the perspective of dnode_next_offset: the bp
will appear to be a hole until zio_dva_allocate finally finishes filling
it in. In the meantime, dnode_next_offset can detect a hole in the dnode
when none exists.

I was able to experimentally demonstrate this behavior with the
following setup:
1. Create a file with 1 million dbufs.
2. Create a thread that randomly dirties L2 blocks by writing to the
first L0 block under them.
3. Observe dnode_next_offset, waiting for it to skip over a hole in the
middle of a file.
4. Do dnode_next_offset in a loop until we skip over such a non-existent
hole.

The fix is to ensure that it is valid to iterate over the indirect
blocks in a dnode while holding the dn_struct_rwlock by passing the zio
a copy of the BP and updating the actual BP in dbuf_write_ready while
holding the lock.

Native ZFS for Linux!

ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.

ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete. It includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.
