The problem is that the pcm code attempts to hold a mutex across a call to uiomove(), which can sleep if the userland buffer that it is trying to access is paged out. Either the buffer has to be pre-wired before calling getchns(), or the mutex has to be dropped around the call to uiomove(). The amount of memory to be wired should be limited to 'sz' as calculated by chn_read() and chn_write(), which complicates the logic. Dropping the mutex probably has other issues. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
