Sigh.

Slight correction, the output below should have said uma_zdestroy() and =
not uma_zfree_arg() (wrong printf text, but the right times).

After an uptime of 7 hours, a reboot have these times (I removed the =
=E2=80=9Cuma=E2=80=9D printf in this run):

kmem_cache_destroy(zio_data_buf_cache[8]) took 2 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_buf_cache[10]) took 6 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_buf_cache[14]) took 2 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_buf_cache[16]) took 136 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_buf_cache[20]) took 31 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_buf_cache[28]) took 303 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_buf_cache[224]) took 89 seconds
kmem_cache_destroy(zio_data_buf_cache[224]) took 31 seconds

This is on a mostly idle server (well, apart from compiling the kernel =
code :-) and some snapshots being taken of all filesystems (once per =
hour).


So now on to finding out why uma_destroy() is taking so long=E2=80=A6 =
:-).

Seems like uma_zfree_arg() is taking really long to execute. Now that =
code isn=E2=80=99t exactly easy to read (for me atleast)=E2=80=A6 =
Lot=E2=80=99s of barrier/locks and stuff.

might be some way to get rid of it quicker? Any UMA experts online? :-)

ZFS mount stuff being done at boot time that part is much quicker :-).
