Issue #2374 has been updated by Venkatesh Srinivas.
Commit 8224c9ea7d94389a63b07be4401f0b05912f8f4a likely fixes this bug; getdirtybuf could return success incorrectly earlier. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2374: softupdates locking bug http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2374 Author: Venkatesh Srinivas Status: New Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: softupdates may still have some locking issues: In -master: * http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~marino/core/core.20120523.txt Panic where softdep_update_inodeblock() called bwrite() with a NULL buffer getdirtybuf returned 'gotit', yet it either returned a NULL bp or the buffer was nulled after it was saved in the inodedep structure. getdirtybuf can block and does release the softdep lock while locking dirty buffers, but it is not clear if anyone can race in and result in the failure mode seen. * (from 3.0.3 catchall bug (2336)): Deadlock in -master with softdep.
