zpool remove .eli partiion

hello,
when performing a partition removal using
# zpool remove /dev/<device>.eli
i found that the action results in a call to spa_reset_logs(spa); in file
sys/contrib/openzfs/module/zfs/vdev_removal.c

This command seems to take too much time. Does this routine do some error
checking and is it required when using a solid state drive? Could it be
that this routine gets stuck for lack of disk space or shortage of virtual
memory?

thanks
