My son's computer deadlocked last night. "show lockedvnods" in DDB showed:
Locked vnodes
0xc1669840: tag ufs, type VDIR, usecount 8, writecount 0, refcount 2, flags (VV_ROOT|VV_OBJBUF), lock type ufs: EXCL (count 1) by thread 0xc18ed000 (pid 9666) with 7 pending

After poking around in the crashdump for a while, I've worked out that
the process holding each of the above exclusive locks is waiting on
the next lock in the list. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be
any way to work out which process is holding the shared lock unless
DEBUG_LOCKS is set (and even this doesn't work if the lock was implicitly
downgraded by a process calling lockmgr(LK_SHARED) when it holds an
exclusive lock).
FWIW, the affected inodes are:
2 /usr
23552 /usr/local
122986 /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4
142022 /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program
142169 /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/program/libpsp645fi.so
Does anyone have any ideas on how to track this further (or so I just
write it off as a glitch).
