ZFS fails to receive valid snapshots (patch included)
Just a quick heads up about an issue we've been seeing
here recently where zfs receive fails on valid replication
streams.
Problem:-
When using zfs receive to restore data saved with zfs send
there is the possibility that the receive will fail due to
replication of snapshots information being processed in a
random order.
In addition to this when receiving snapshots where the parent
from snapshot is replaced by another needless failures occur
which can be seen clearly in verbose mode.
More info and a fix can be found in the PR

Any feedback welcome
Regards
Steve
