Creating a fragmented pool in a DCenter VM and continuously writing to it with
multiple instances of randwritecomp, we get the following output from txg.d:

The TXGs that are getting synced and don't have lots of changes are pushed by
txg_kick() which basically forces the current open txg to get to the quiesced
state:
if (tx->tx_syncing_txg == 0 &&
tx->tx_quiesce_txg_waiting <= tx->tx_open_txg &&
tx->tx_sync_txg_waiting <= tx->tx_synced_txg &&
tx->tx_quiesced_txg <= tx->tx_synced_txg) {
tx->tx_quiesce_txg_waiting = tx->tx_open_txg + 1;
cv_broadcast(&tx->tx_quiesce_more_cv);
}
The problem is that the above code doesn't check if we are currently quiescing
anything (only if a quiesce or a sync has been requested, ..etc) so the
following scenario can happen:
1] We have an open txg A that had enough dirty data (more than
zfs_dirty_data_sync) and it was pushed to the quiesced state, and opened
a new txg B. No txg is currently being synced.
2] Immediately after the opening of B, txg_kick() was run by some other write
(and because of A's dirty data) and saw that we are not currently syncing
any txg and no one has requested quiescing so it requests one by bumping
tx_quiesce_txg_waiting and broadcasts the quiesce thread.
3] The quiesce thread just passed txg A to be synced and sees that a quiescing
request has been sent to it so it immediately grabs B without letting it
gather enough data, putting it in a quiesced state and opening a new txg C.
In this scenario txg B, is an example of how the entries of interest show up in
the txg.d output.
Ideally we would like txg_kick() to get triggered only when we are sure that
we are not syncing AND not quiescing any txg. This way we can kick an open TXG
to the quiescing state when we are sure that there is nothing going on and we
would benefit from the different states running concurrently.
