 * ZTHR Infrastructure
 * ===================
 *
 * ZTHR threads are used for isolated operations that span multiple txgs
 * within a SPA. They generally exist from SPA creation/loading and until
 * the SPA is exported/destroyed. The ideal requirements for an operation
 * to be modeled with a zthr are the following:
 *
 * 1] The operation needs to run over multiple txgs.
 * 2] There is be a single point of reference in memory or on disk that
 *    indicates whether the operation should run/is running or has
 *    stopped.
 *
 * If the operation satisfies the above then the following rules guarantee
 * a certain level of correctness:
 *
 * 1] Any thread EXCEPT the zthr changes the work indicator from stopped
 *    to running but not the opposite.
 * 2] Only the zthr can change the work indicator from running to stopped
 *    (e.g. when it is done) but not the opposite.
 *
 * This way a normal zthr cycle should go like this:
 *
 * 1] An external thread changes the work indicator from stopped to
 *    running and wakes up the zthr.
 * 2] The zthr wakes up, checks the indicator and starts working.
 * 3] When the zthr is done, it changes the indicator to stopped, allowing
 *    a new cycle to start.
 *
 * Besides being awakened by other threads, a zthr can be configured
 * during creation to wakeup on its own after a specified interval
 * [see zthr_create_timer()].
 *
 * Note: ZTHR threads are NOT a replacement for generic threads! Please
 * ensure that they fit your use-case well before using them.
 *
 * == ZTHR creation
 *
 * Every zthr needs four inputs to start running:
 *
 * 1] A user-defined checker function (checkfunc) that decides whether
 *    the zthr should start working or go to sleep. The function should
 *    return TRUE when the zthr needs to work or FALSE to let it sleep,
 *    and should adhere to the following signature:
 *    boolean_t checkfunc_name(void *args, zthr_t *t);
 *
 * 2] A user-defined ZTHR function (func) which the zthr executes when
 *    it is not sleeping. The function should adhere to the following
 *    signature type:
 *    void func_name(void *args, zthr_t *t);
 *
 * 3] A void args pointer that will be passed to checkfunc and func
 *    implicitly by the infrastructure.
 *
 * 4] A name for the thread. This string must be valid for the lifetime
 *    of the zthr.
 *
 * The reason why the above API needs two different functions,
 * instead of one that both checks and does the work, has to do with
 * the zthr's internal state lock (zthr_state_lock) and the allowed
 * cancellation windows. We want to hold the zthr_state_lock while
 * running checkfunc but not while running func. This way the zthr
 * can be cancelled while doing work and not while checking for work.
 *
 * To start a zthr:
 *     zthr_t *zthr_pointer = zthr_create(checkfunc, func, args);
 * or
 *     zthr_t *zthr_pointer = zthr_create_timer(checkfunc, func,
 *         args, max_sleep);
 *
 * After that you should be able to wakeup, cancel, and resume the
 * zthr from another thread using the zthr_pointer.
 *
 * NOTE: ZTHR threads could potentially wake up spuriously and the
 * user should take this into account when writing a checkfunc.
 * [see ZTHR state transitions]
 *
 * == ZTHR wakeup
 *
 * ZTHR wakeup should be used when new work is added for the zthr. The
 * sleeping zthr will wakeup, see that it has more work to complete
 * and proceed. This can be invoked from open or syncing context.
 *
 * To wakeup a zthr:
 *     zthr_wakeup(zthr_t *t)
 *
 * == ZTHR cancellation and resumption
 *
 * ZTHR threads must be cancelled when their SPA is being exported
 * or when they need to be paused so they don't interfere with other
 * operations.
 *
 * To cancel a zthr:
 *     zthr_cancel(zthr_pointer);
 *
 * To resume it:
 *     zthr_resume(zthr_pointer);
 *
 * ZTHR cancel and resume should be invoked in open context during the
 * lifecycle of the pool as it is imported, exported or destroyed.
 *
 * A zthr will implicitly check if it has received a cancellation
 * signal every time func returns and every time it wakes up [see
 * ZTHR state transitions below].
 *
 * At times, waiting for the zthr's func to finish its job may take
 * time. This may be very time-consuming for some operations that
 * need to cancel the SPA's zthrs (e.g spa_export). For this scenario
 * the user can explicitly make their ZTHR function aware of incoming
 * cancellation signals using zthr_iscancelled(). A common pattern for
 * that looks like this:
 *
 * int
 * func_name(void *args, zthr_t *t)
 * {
 *     ... <unpack args> ...
 *     while (!work_done && !zthr_iscancelled(t)) {
 *         ... <do more work> ...
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * == ZTHR cleanup
 *
 * Cancelling a zthr doesn't clean up its metadata (internal locks,
 * function pointers to func and checkfunc, etc..). This is because
 * we want to keep them around in case we want to resume the execution
 * of the zthr later. Similarly for zthrs that exit themselves.
 *
 * To completely cleanup a zthr, cancel it first to ensure that it
 * is not running and then use zthr_destroy().
 *
 * == ZTHR state transitions

 *      |   +---------------+ func
 *      |
 *      | TRUE
 *      |
 *      v
 *   zthr stopped running
 *
 * == Implementation of ZTHR requests
 *
 * ZTHR cancel and resume are requests on a zthr to change its
 * internal state. These requests are serialized using the
 * zthr_request_lock, while changes in its internal state are
 * protected by the zthr_state_lock. A request will first acquire
 * the zthr_request_lock and then immediately acquire the
 * zthr_state_lock. We do this so that incoming requests are
 * serialized using the request lock, while still allowing us
 * to use the state lock for thread communication via zthr_cv.
 *
 * ZTHR wakeup broadcasts to zthr_cv, causing sleeping threads
 * to wakeup. It acquires the zthr_state_lock but not the
 * zthr_request_lock, so that a wakeup on a zthr in the middle
 * of being cancelled will not block.
