Hi Slawa,
I think WITNESS is seeing a false positive, since those two are always
different mutexes.
The actual deadlock you experience should be caused by something else. I
Are you sure? When deadlock occur I am see threads waiting on nm_kn_lock.
The deadlock I mentioned still involves nm_kn_locks, sorry if I was not
clear about that. I am just saying that we never try to take the same
lock that we already holding.
Nonetheless, there are indeed problems in the path that WITNESS has
seen. The problem is that pipes have to notify the other end while
called by kevent. kevent holds the nm_kn_lock on the TX src ring and the
notification takes the nm_kn_lock on the RX dst ring.
have not been able to reproduce it locally (I have not tried that hard,
to be honest). I am pretty sure that there is a lock inversion - one
that may cause real deadlocks - when you use netmap pipes+kqueue and you
don't pass NETMAP_NO_TX_POLL at NIOCREGIF time. The attached patch
should solve this particular problem, but there may be others. May you
please try it?
Try it with or w/o WITNESS?
I am trying to see if the actual deadlock disappears, so disable WITNESS
if it slows down the system and masks the real deadlock. Otherwise,
leave it on.
Cheers,
Giuseppe

Can you look also on second issue?
PS: What need from me? May be open PR?
May you provide some example code that triggers the issue?
This is about 700 lines of code (not very clear), may be I can describe it?
I just need some code to trigger the problem locally. Don't worry about
the clarity and the line count, unless you cannot share the code for
other reasons.
I am attach source.
run as "prog if1 if2"
Got `acquiring duplicate lock of same type: "nm_kn_lock"` immediatly
after start.
Dead locking may be occur immediatly after start or may be need
traffic flooding.
