   19: ### amd64
   20: * amd64 zio_root crash
   21: Investigation 
   22: vdev_label_read_config -> zio_root calls zio_wait on a zio_root zio_t. Later zio_execute tries to generate 			
   23: checksum on zio->zio_data which is NULL for a zio_root. Is this ressurrection of andys zio_null problem ? 
   24: because zio_root is basicaly zio_null.
   25: 		
   26:  Solution
   27:  What is difference between i386 and amd64 version why it is working on i386 and not on a amd64 that can be
   28:  solution.
   29: ### i386 
   30: 
   31: ### Both 
   32: * vnode reclaiming deadlocks 
   33:  
   34:  This can be fixed by deferring call to zfs_zinactive in zfs_reclaim to another system thread if lock is held.
   35:  But it causes deadlock and we need to investigate if it is caused by this change or by another problem.
   36: 			
   37:  Deadlock backtrace is this
   38: 			
   39:  VOP_WRITE->zfs_netbsd_write->zfs_write->dmu_tx_wait->txg_wait_open->cv_wait
   40:  txq_quisce_thread->txg_thread_wait->cv_wait
   41:  txg_sync_thread->spa_sync->dsl_pool_sync->zio_wait->cv_wait
   42: 			
   43:  FreeBSD approach should be investigated why they are doing this differently and why it works for them. They 
   44:  call zfs_zinactive from zfs_freebsd_inactive which is null op for NetBSD.
   45: 			
   46:  zfs umount panic is caused by using FreeBSD approach in zfs_reclaim.

   49: ## Functional bugs 
   50: * Snapshots
   51: * Permissions
   52: * Old code, we should update NetBSD zfs port to new code
