Well - just a status update...
It's now been 5+ days since I installed the kernel with
the vrele() panic and Terry's other vfs_subr.c fix...
The machine has yet to panic, at all...:
ponds# uptime
8:31PM up 5 days, 7:34, 1 user, load averages: 0.33, 0.55, 0.60
At this point, my only explanation is that I must have
installed the wrong kernel when originally testing Terry's
change to vfs_subr.c; and, in fact, Terry's suggested change
to not walk around the end of the list is the reason for
the success I'm having. It seems to me it couldn't have
been the other change to vrele() which is simply to add
some consistency checks that weren't present before.
I'd like to ensure this improvement makes it into 2.1.6... (I believe
it's already in -current.) Who do I talk to for that?
