>Description:
While testing terminating a huge number of PPPoX clients the kernel panics
while doing in-kernel NAT.
#4 0xffffffff808e8775 at calltrap+0x8
#5 0xffffffff80fa0f01 at HouseKeeping+0xa1
#6 0xffffffff80f9e6ab at LibAliasOutLocked+0x3b
Please note, that the stack trace is incomplete. There are calls to
IncrementalCleanup() and DeleteLink(), which are not reported in the stack
trace.
The problem seems to come from incorrect locking, so the contents of the
libalias database get corrupted.
This patch might be not the full solution, but is an obvious fix for an obvious
bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
Setting up ipfw nat, add more then 9000 clients using mpd5.6, generate traffic
