I wonder why no one reported a problem that I am seeing after upgrading past this revision. Maybe because I do have net.fibs=2 in my loader.conf? The problem -- unfortunately I only have a screenshot -- but it's a page fault trap in this call chain: sysctl_register_all -> sysctl_load_tunable_by_oid_locked -> sysctl_fibs -> _sx_xlock. The crash is on the RTABLES_LOCK() line. And it's kind of obvious why. The tunables, including net.fibs which is declared as RWTUN, are set at SI_SUB_TUNABLES stage, but RTABLES_LOCK_INIT() is not called until SI_SUB_PROTO_DOMAIN much later. In other words, sysctal_fibs can be called earlier than vnet_rtables_init. I think that the best way to handle the problem would be to add CTLFLAG_NOFETCH to the sysctl declaration and then to add -- if necessary at all -- an explicit query of the kenv. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
