7cur: SMP kernels /w POLLING enabled - combination garbles (syncer?) console
line message(s) on reboot
SMP kernel with POLLING enabled garbles one or more of the last lines in
console after issuing the {reboot} command
options DEVICE_POLLING
options HZ=1000
with or without sysctl -w kern.polling.enable=1 or sysctl -w
kern.polling.enable=0
The garbled lines are between 'shutting down bufdaemon' and 'all buffs
synced' (after 'bufdaemon', I presume these are the syncer, 'Syncing
disks, vnodes synced' lines)
I found it only reproducable with SMP /apic enabled kernel. Console messages
after issuing reboot on UP kernels with polling_enabled are readable.
Note: polling wasn't manually set on any device (tested on UP and SMP
kernels) e.g.: no ifconfig em0 polling
