See bin/132452 for the initial reports of this. I added extended attribute support to tar recently and several people reported that making an extattr_list_link syscall on a ZFS volume hangs the CPU (100% system time) and results in an unkillable process. This has been reported on both amd64 and i386 architectures with recent -CURRENT. I don't have a machine with ZFS handy to try to reproduce this myself; I don't know if this affects 7-STABLE; I don't know if it also occurs for extattr_list_file or other extattr system calls. I'm eager to get this fixed so I can turn tar's extended attribute support back on. How-To-Repeat: touch foo lsextattr -h user foo
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-fs Over to maintainer(s).
State Changed From-To: open->closed Already fixed, see bin/132452.
