Just to confirm, this is commit r220264, 220265, 220266 to -CURRENT?

Looking through the commit logs, I don't see any of these MFC'd to
-STABLE yet, so I can't test them directly.  The storage box that was
having the issues is running 8-STABLE r219754 at the moment (with
ZFSv28 and Mikolag's ggate patches).

I see there have been a lot of hast/ggate-related MFCs in the past
week, but they don't include the deadlock patches.

Once the deadlock patches above are MFC'd to -STABLE, I can do an
upgrade cycle and test them.

I do have the previous 9-CURRENT install saved, just nothing to run it on a=
tm.
