If you have something like a kqread state for a hang-up consistently in the same place, then Mikael Urankar 's fix (or any other way of getting the right sizes and field offsets for kevent) has a chance of fixing what you have observed. But if you have a form of hang-up that shows no sign of being tied to kevent or hangs-up only sometimes, I'd be surprised if the __packed change(s) would fix the issue. I've seen such racy hang-ups from lld's creation of (#cpu)+2 threads, as FreeBSD counts cpus. I've selectively forced -Wl,--no-threads at times in specific contexts to avoid that. binutils ld does not tolerate the option. ports does not appear to have an equivalent of: LDFLAGS.lld+= -Wl,--no-threads that would be lld specific. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
