New Revision: 183955
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/183955

Log:
  - Fix a race in witness_checkorder() where, between the PCPU_GET() and
    PCPU_PTR() curthread can migrate on another CPU and get incorrect
    results.
  - Fix a similar race into witness_warn().
  - Fix the interlock's checks bypassing by correctly using the appropriate
    children even when the lock_list chunk to be explored is not the first
    one.
  - Allow witness_warn() to work with spinlocks too.
