I stress tested gif(4) in the same manner for kicks and got a very similar panic in in_control(). I suppose that my change eliminated a concurrency problem in vlan(4) and we began to feel the lack of refcounting at ifnet level. Indeed, a thread can keep a pointer to an ifnet beyond its lifetime and panic the system on access to the dead ifnet. -- Yar _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
