The following reply was made to PR kern/6258; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Justin T. Gibbs" <gibbs@plutotech.com> To: dillon@best.net Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/6258: FreeBSD-2.2.6 VM lockup on kernel map due to brelse calling bfreekva(), dump lockup in getnewbuf() due to fragmented buffer_map Date: Thu, 09 Apr 1998 22:26:18 -0600 > Problem #1: Kernel locks up in kernel map due to brelse() calling > bfreekva() from a SCSI interrupt while kernel map is already locked > (there was another bugtrack on this problem). The fix for this was > to defer calling bfreekva(). Perhaps this can be addressed by simply delaying the call only until the vm SWI can run. I added a vm SWI for the bus dma stuff, but it could easily be expanded to perform this task as well. I would expect us to hit the SWI rapidly in most cases, thereby preventing fragmentation. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
