> The procstat output suggests that you might be using geli for the swap device.
Yes, you're right. I'm using GELI (AES-256-XTS/SHA256/onetime) over gmirror of
2 gpt partitions.

Disabled GELI swap & stopped relevant gmirror -- still got ARC eviction after
running tar...

> You could reduce vfs.zfs.deadman_synctime_ms to more quickly get a panic when the system becomes unresponsive.
Unfortunately, I cannot see any panics (and thus, stack traces). System just
hangs w/o any output to logs or console, and all that I can do - reset or power
cycle through IPMI interface. I'm thinking about compiling kernel with KDB/DDB
and collecting coredump with NMI.

Attached relevant sysctl output & similar diagnostics as before, but w/o swap.
