- * Assume the on-disk data is X, the current syncing data is Y,
- * and the current in-memory data is Z (currently in dmu_sync).
- * X and Z are identical but Y is has been modified. Normally,
- * when X and Z are the same we will perform a nopwrite but if Y
- * is different we must disable nopwrite since the resulting write
- * of Y to disk can free the block containing X. If we allowed a
- * nopwrite to occur the block pointing to Z would reference a freed
- * block. Since this is a rare case we simplify this by disabling
- * nopwrite if the current dmu_sync-ing dbuf has been modified in
- * a previous transaction.
+ * Assume the on-disk data is X, the current syncing data (in
+ * txg - 1) is Y, and the current in-memory data is Z (currently
+ * in dmu_sync).
+ *
+ * We usually want to perform a nopwrite if X and Z are the
+ * same. However, if Y is different (i.e. the BP is going to
+ * change before this write takes effect), then a nopwrite will
+ * be incorrect - we would override with X, which could have
+ * been freed when Y was written.
+ *
+ * (Note that this is not a concern when we are nop-writing from
+ * syncing context, because X and Y must be identical, because
+ * all previous txgs have been synced.)
+ *
+ * Therefore, we disable nopwrite if the current BP could change
+ * before this TXG. There are two ways it could change: by
+ * being dirty (dr_next is non-NULL), or by being freed
+ * (dnode_block_freed()). This behavior is verified by
+ * zio_done(), which VERIFYs that the override BP is identical
+ * to the on-disk BP.
