A deadlock was accidentally introduced by commit e95853a which can occur when the system is under memory pressure. What happens is that while the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks it enters memory reclaim. In the context of this memory reclaim it then issues synchronous I/O to a ZVOL swap device. Because the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks a new txg cannot be opened to handle the I/O. Deadlock. The fix is straight forward. Move the memory allocation outside the critical region where the tx->tx_cpu locks are held. And for good measure change the offending allocation to KM_PUSHPAGE to ensure it never attempts to issue I/O during reclaim. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Issue #1274
