Yeah, right now, it's actually not known whether roots of this bug dates back to even the Sun days. And because Oracle ZFS is not open source we can't know if this or other bugs are lurking.

It seems to require certain extremely specific situations to trigger it. Like using copy_file_range, which is the new feature which exposed it, or writing a file and then writing a larger than recordsize hole in that file in the same transaction group.
