2011-02-05 Thread dieterbsd
Why would doing a printf(9) in a device driver (usb, firewire, probably others) cause an obscenely long lockout on /usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_sockbuf.c:148 (sx:so_rcv_sx) ? Printf(9) alone isn't the problem, adding printfs to chown(2) does not cause the problem, but printfs from device drivers do.
