Message-ID: <20010205184310.14DD1199F4@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

For a long time we've had trouble rebooting our fileserver when the network is
busy; 'busy' seems to mean lots of machines try to attach at once. There is a
panic, sometimes it's the mbfree panic, but mostly just a page fault due to a
nil pointer somewhere.

When it happened again last week I looked at some of the faults and through a
tortuous path including a number of leaps of faith started looking at the
locking in getchan and il.c in general, it just looks bogus but I haven't gotten
back to it to convince myself or not.
