#180 occurred because of a race between inode eviction and zfs_zget(). 36df284 tried to address it by making a call to the VFS to learn whether an inode is being evicted. If it was being evicted the operation was retried after dropping and reacquiring the relevant resources. Unfortunately, this introduced another deadlock.

Instead of relying on a call to ilookup() which can block in __wait_on_freeing_inode() the return value from igrab() is used. This gives us the information that ilookup() provided without the risk of a deadlock. Alternately, this race could be closed by registering an sops->drop_inode() callback. The callback would need to detect the active SA hold thereby informing the VFS that this inode should not be evicted.
