+ * Bug Issue Id: #7512
+ * The bug time sequence:
+ * 1. context #1, zfs_write assign a txg "n".
+ * 2. In the same process, context #2, mmap page fault (which means the mm_sem
+ *    is hold) occurred, zfs_dirty_inode open a txg failed, and wait previous
+ *    txg "n" completed.
+ * 3. context #1 call uiomove to write, however page fault is occurred in
+ *    uiomove, which means it need mm_sem, but mm_sem is hold by
+ *    context #2, so it stuck and can't complete, then txg "n" will not
+ *    complete.
  *
- * Simply writing to a file and mmaping that file at the same time can
- * result in deadlock.  Nothing perverse like writing from the file's
- * own mapping is required.
+ * So context #1 and context #2 trap into the "dead lock".
