There is a hard to duplicate race condition in freebsd's
kernel malloc. Bassically it is possiables for the kernel
to tsleep way down in vm_page_sleep_busy even when M_NOWAIT
is spefcied. Under some conditions this can block the kernel
completly.
Attatched is a kernel module that demonstrates this rare condition,
The module has been tested on 4.2-RELEASE generic kernel configurations
as well as -STABLE. The module only seems to work about one out of every
10 or 15 tries which makes me think there is a race condition happening.
