I'm cross-posting to zfs-discuss, as this is now more of a ZFS
query than a dtrace query at this point, and I'm  not sure if all the ZFS
experts are listening on dtrace-discuss (although they probably
are... :^).

The only thing that jumps out at me is the ARC size - 53.4GB, or
most of your 64GB of RAM. This in-and-of-itself is not necessarily
a bad thing - if there are no other memory consumers, let ZFS cache
data in the ARC. But if something is coming along to flush dirty
ARC pages periodically....

I found what looked to be an applicable bug;
CR 6699438 zfs induces crosscall storm under heavy mapped sequential read workload
but the stack signature for the above bug is different than yours, and
it doesn't sound like your workload is doing mmap'd sequential reads.
That said, I would be curious to know if your workload used mmap(),
versus read/write?

For the ZFS folks just seeing this, here's the stack frame;

             unix`xc_do_call+0x8f
             unix`xc_wait_sync+0x36
             unix`x86pte_invalidate_pfn+0x135
             unix`hat_pte_unmap+0xa9
             unix`hat_unload_callback+0x109
             unix`hat_unload+0x2a
             unix`segkmem_free_vn+0x82
             unix`segkmem_zio_free+0x10
             genunix`vmem_xfree+0xee
             genunix`vmem_free+0x28
             genunix`kmem_slab_destroy+0x80
             genunix`kmem_slab_free+0x1be
             genunix`kmem_magazine_destroy+0x54
             genunix`kmem_depot_ws_reap+0x4d
             genunix`taskq_thread+0xbc
             unix`thread_start+0x8

Let's see what the fsstat and zpool iostat data looks like when this
starts happening..

It would also be interesting to see some snapshots

kstat -n arcstats

Here you go, although I didn't see anything jump out (massive amounts of cache 
misses or something).  Any immediate trouble spot?
