+# DESCRIPTION:
+# Testing resilver restart logic both with and without the deferred resilver
+# feature enabled, verifying that resilver is not restarted when it is
+# unecessary.
+#
+# STRATEGY:
+# 1. Create a pool
+# 2. Create four filesystems with the primary cache disable to force reads
+# 3. Write four files simultaneously, one to each filesystem
+# 4. Do with and without deferred resilvers enabled
+#    a. Replace a vdev with a spare & suspend resilver immediately
+#    b. Verify resilver starts properly
+#    c. Offline / online another vdev to introduce a new DTL range
+#    d. Verify resilver restart restart or defer
+#    e. Inject read errors on vdev that was offlined / onlned
+#    f. Verify that resilver did not restart
+#    g. Unsuspend resilver and wait for it to finish
+#    h. Verify that there are two resilvers and nothing is deferred
+#
