I just had my -CURRENT* machine crash under moderate load. No

re0: diagnostic failed to receive packet in loopback mode
re0: attach aborted due to hardware diagnostic failure
panic: mtx_lock() of spin mutex (null) @ /usr/src/sys/netinet/in_pcb,c:862
"re0" is a Linksys EG-1032, less than two months old. It was
connected, but had zero traffic at the time of the crash.
Before I take this to current@ - has anyone seen anything like
this before? A quick check of the archives and the web in general
didn't show anything.
You need to at least get a traceback from the panic, and preferably a
crashdump.

Probably should pass this onto some devs. It seems like a null value was
passed for locking a mutex in the OS, which is important. Having a
traceback would be good though... but at least mentioning that the issue
laid with the re (?) kernel driver would be a start.
Unfortunately without a traceback the panic string is useless since it
gives you no clue about how the system got into that state. This kind
of panic is often a secondary effect of some other problem.
Kris
True, but at least you'd be able to find a way to the affected code...
After that it's just tests and debugging =\...
