Hi List,
I can confirm that it is the bug you mentioned steven.
Here is how I found it.
I recorded hourly zfskern and nfsd stats. like this.
echo "PROCSTAT" >> $reportname
pgrep -S "(zfskern|nfsd)" | xargs procstat -kk >> $reportname
luckily it crashed this night and logged this.
1910 101508 nfsd nfsd: service mi_switch+0x186
sleepq_wait+0x42 _sleep+0x376 arc_lowmem+0x77 kmem_malloc+0xc1
uma_large_malloc+0x4a malloc+0xd9 arc_get_data_buf+0xb5
arc_read_nolock+0x1ec arc_read+0x93 dbuf_prefetch+0x12c
dmu_zfetch_dofetch+0x10b dmu_zfetch+0xaf8 dbuf_read+0x4a7
dmu_buf_hold_array_by_dnode+0x16b dmu_buf_hold_array+0x67
dmu_read_uio+0x3f zfs_freebsd_read+0x3e3
Maybe it would be good to merge this fix into RELENG_9_1 and distribute
a fix via freebsd-update what do you think?
best,
