Also, as a side note, I believe that this race is the cause of the recently reported panics in propagate_priority() with td_blocked == NULL in the pre-turnstile mutex code. The race is only just now being triggered because we have enough code out from under Giant to trigger it. This is why debug.mpsafenet seemed to "fix" that panic. This is also why I did not see this race when I tested turnstiles earlier on my SMP machines. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
