New Revision: 198724
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/198724

Log:
  Fix a race in casuword() exposed by csup. casuword() non-atomically read
  the current value of its argument before atomically replacing it, which
  could occasionally return the wrong value on an SMP system. This resulted
  in user mutex operations hanging when using threaded applications.
