+ * Given a vdev to be replaced and its parent, check for a possible
+ * "double spare" condition if a vdev is to be replaced by a spare.  When this
+ * happens, you can get two spares assigned to one failed vdev.
+ *
+ * To trigger a double spare condition:
+ *
+ * 1. disk1 fails
+ * 2. 1st spare is kicked in for disk1 and it resilvers
+ * 3. Someone replaces disk1 with a new blank disk
+ * 4. New blank disk starts resilvering
+ * 5. While resilvering, new blank disk has IO errors and faults
+ * 6. 2nd spare is kicked in for new blank disk
+ * 7. At this point two spares are kicked in for the original disk1.
+ *
+ * It looks like this:

+# Try do induce a double spare condition and verify we're prevented from doing
+# it.
+#
+# STRATEGY:
+# 1. Fail a drive
+# 2. Kick in first spare
+# 3. Bring new drive back online and start resilvering to it
+# 4. Immediately after the resilver starts, fail the new drive.
+# 5. Try to kick in the second spare for the new drive (which is now failed)
+# 6. Verify that we can't kick in the second spare
+#
+# Repeat this test for both traditional spares and dRAID spares.
