Fix MMP write frequency for large pools
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When a single pool contains more vdevs than the CONFIG_HZ for
for the kernel the mmp thread will not delay properly.  Switch
to using cv_timedwait_sig_hires() to handle higher resolution
delays.

This issue was reported on Arch Linux where HZ defaults to only
100 and this could be fairly easily reproduced with a reasonably
large pool.  Most distribution kernels set CONFIG_HZ=250 or
CONFIG_HZ=1000 and thus are unlikely to be impacted.
