 I have been seeing a 'witness_get exhausted' message for quite a long
 time.  I have disabled SMP on my kernel as of now, but still have to
 figure out where and why this message is coming.

The witness_get thing was fixed a week or so ago with the lock descriptions
added to mtx_init().

Which reminds me!, HITEN, read the cvs-all lists regularly. :-) Thanks for
the info. :)

Dunno what version of -CURRENT you are using, but in theory John's recent
mutex class commits should help with that by reducing the number of locks
that WITNESS has to treat as unique.  If this is still happening on a
-CURRENT from the last two days, you may want to drop him an e-mail.  The
output of vmstat -m might also be useful, since locks are usually
associated with structures, and some indication of the quantity of
structures should help identify what locks are being over-used.  The
output from the ddb 'show witness' command may also be useful.
