+ * DSL Pool Configuration Lock
+ *
+ * The dp_config_rwlock protects against changes to DSL state (e.g. dataset
+ * creation / destruction / rename / property setting).  It must be held for
+ * read to hold a dataset or dsl_dir.  I.e. you must call
+ * dsl_pool_config_enter() or dsl_pool_hold() before calling
+ * dsl_{dataset,dir}_hold{_obj}.  In most circumstances, the dp_config_rwlock
+ * must be held continuously until all datasets and dsl_dirs are released.
+ *
+ * The only exception to this rule is that if a "long hold" is placed on
+ * a dataset, then the dp_config_rwlock may be dropped while the dataset
+ * is still held.  The long hold will prevent the dataset from being
+ * destroyed -- the destroy will fail with EBUSY.  A long hold can be
+ * obtained by calling dsl_dataset_long_hold(), or by "owning" a dataset
+ * (by calling dsl_{dataset,objset}_{try}own{_obj}).
+ *
+ * Legitimate long-holders (including owners) should be long-running, cancelable
+ * tasks that should cause "zfs destroy" to fail.  This includes DMU
+ * consumers (i.e. a ZPL filesystem being mounted or ZVOL being open),
+ * "zfs send", and "zfs diff".  There are several other long-holders whose
+ * uses are suboptimal (e.g. "zfs promote", and zil_suspend()).
+ *
+ * The usual formula for long-holding would be:
+ * dsl_pool_hold()
+ * dsl_dataset_hold()
+ * ... perform checks ...
+ * dsl_dataset_long_hold()
+ * dsl_pool_rele()
+ * ... perform long-running task ...
+ * dsl_dataset_long_rele()
+ * dsl_dataset_rele()
+ *
+ * Note that when the long hold is released, the dataset is still held but
+ * the pool is not held.  The dataset may change arbitrarily during this time
+ * (e.g. it could be destroyed).  Therefore you shouldn't do anything to the
+ * dataset except release it.
+ *
+ * User-initiated operations (e.g. ioctls, zfs_ioc_*()) are either read-only
+ * or modifying operations.
+ *
+ * Modifying operations should generally use dsl_sync_task().  The synctask
+ * infrastructure enforces proper locking strategy with respect to the
+ * dp_config_rwlock.  See the comment above dsl_sync_task() for details.
+ *
+ * Read-only operations will manually hold the pool, then the dataset, obtain
+ * information from the dataset, then release the pool and dataset.
+ * dmu_objset_{hold,rele}() are convenience routines that also do the pool
+ * hold/rele.
