Just like in your case the process reported as hung is a random victim
and whatever the real culprit is deeper.
We already know the real culprit, see upthread.
Dag, I looked through the thread once more, and, while thank you for
tracing it, but you never went beyond txg_wait_synced() in `zfs revert`
thread. If you are saying that thread is holding the lock, then the
question is why transaction commit is stuck. I need to see stacks for
ZFS sync threads, or better all kernel stacks, just in case. Without
that information I can only speculate.
Trying to run your test (so far without reproduction) I see it producing
a substantial amount of ZIL writes. The range of commits you reduced
the scope to so far includes my ZIL locking refactoring, where I know
for sure are some deadlocks. I am already waiting for 3 weeks now for
reviews and tests for PR that should fix it:
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/15122 . It would be good if you
could test it, though it seems to depend on few more earlier patches not
merged to FreeBSD yet.
