(I'm not good at this stuff, but from your description, it looks like it did the kern_yield() with the mutex held and "maybe" got into trouble trying to acquire Giant?) Anyhow, I'm going to test a kernel with r244095 in it and see if I can still reproduce the hang. (There wasn't much else in the "show alllocks", except a process that held the exclusive vnode interlock mutex plus a ufs vnode lock, but it's just doing a witness_unlock.) I'll email if/when I know more, rick ps: Fingers/toes crossed that you've already fixed it. > > > > > As I said, I can leave it in "db" for to-day, if anyone wants > > me to do anything in the debugger and I can probably reproduce > > it, if someone wants stuff tried later. > > > > rick > > > > > > > > > > > > > adrian > > > > > > > > > On 9 December 2012 22:08, Tim Kientzle > > > wrote: > > > > I haven't found any useful clues yet, but thought I'd ask if > > > > anyone > > > > else > > > > was seeing hangs in a recent kernel. > > > > > > > > I just upgraded to r244036 using a straight GENERIC i386 kernel. > > > > (Straight buildworld/buildkernel, no local changes, > > > > /etc/src.conf > > > > doesn't > > > > exist, /etc/make.conf just has PERL_VERSION defined.) > > > > > > > > When I try to cross build an ARM world on the resulting system, > > > > the entire system hangs hard after about 30 minutes: No network, > > > > no keyboard response, no nothing. > > > > > > > > Don't know if it's relevant, but the system is using NFS pretty > > > > heavily (Parallels VM mounting NFS from Mac OS 10.7 host.) > > > > > > > > I'll try to get some more details ... > > > > > > > > Tim > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > > > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > > > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > > > > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > _______________________________________________ > > > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > > > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > _______________________________________________ > > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
