We've observed that on some highly fragmented pools, most metaslab allocations are small (~2-8KB), but there are some large, 128K allocations. The large allocations are for ZIL blocks. If there is a lot of fragmentation, the large allocations can be hard to satisfy. The most common impact of this is that we need to check (and thus load) lots of metaslabs from the ZIL allocation code path, causing sync writes to wait for metaslabs to load, which can take a second or more. In the worst case, we may not be able to satisfy the allocation, in which case the ZIL will resort to txg_wait_synced() to ensure the change is on disk. To provide a workaround for this, this change adds a tunable that can reduce the size of ZIL blocks.
