Hi,
I'm trying to port Click modular router to FreeBSD 7.1, but with a
twist. Instead of letting Click run in netisr (as it used to run in
FreeBSD 4), I want to have it running in a kthread. I managed to get
it running this way, but when I turn on INVARIANTS and WITNESS (along
with WITNESS_SKIPSPIN), I get coredumps when I'm trying to install a
new configuration...
Here is the trace:

Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

This is the message buffer:
Unread portion of the kernel message buffer:
panic: blockable sleep lock (sleep mutex) 16 @ /usr/src/sys/vm/
uma_core.c:1834
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 24m35s
Physical memory: 114 MB
Dumping 42 MB: 27 11
Any hints where I should search for the cause?
I'm using MTX_DEF mutexes to protect data structures. Click exports
its own FS, where each element (part of the router) has its own files.
Each file has coresponding function which is responsible for input/
output of the data. So, when I want to create a new router, I write to
file named "config". Then, function named write_config takes over,
starts the Lexer, which in turns produces elements, which then export
their representations in the VFS. All of this happens in the
clickfs_close (creation starts when file is closed).
If I read the code correctly, vn_closefile locks the Giant, so that
may cause problems...
Cheers,
N.
