one more. This falls into the very improbable category. Ordinarily, I
don't think this is possible because FreeBSD doesn't support hotplug PCI,
so sk attachment can't be raced.
However, assuming I had some hot plug sk card, it seems like running
ifconfig sk0 at just the wrong point during sk1 attach will deadlock. If
it absolutely can not happen (for a reason other than sk is attached
before init runs) please explain.
sk.c:
sk_attach_xmac()
SK_LOCK(sc); /* grabs */
ether_ifattach()
ifattach()
IFNET_WLOCK() /* waits for 2 */
in6_ifattach.c:
in6_nigroup_attach()
IFNET_RLOCK() /* grabs */
in6_addmulti()
if_addmulti()
sk_ioctl()
SK_IF_LOCK(); /* waits for 1 */
