Re: git: kernel - Add MONITOR/MWAIT support to the LWKT scheduler

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:This commit removes the RQF_IDLECHECK_WK_MASK check *before*
:the CLI instruction when MONITOR/MWAIT is unavailable, because
:of how C evaluates expressions.  Some strange panic in vm_map_lookup()
:started annoying me after upgrading the kernel recently, and
:bisecting showed that this is the first commit with the problem.

:I'm running the kernel with the following change to see if it
:fixes the panic, which usually takes several hours to be triggered.

    Theoretically it shouldn't matter.  All that happens is that the
    splz() gets run while in CLI and then the WK_MASK check after that
    prevents the idle thread from halting.

    What's the strange panic in vm_map_lookup()?  The changes might be
    revealing other bugs which have been present for a longer period
    of time rather than being bugs themselves.

    In anycase, this week I will try to work through all the reported
    bugs.  I was able to reproduce the 'lockmgr: locking against myself'
    bug using your grep --mmap test.  I'll try to track that down in
    what little time I have today.  I will have a lot more time to
    work on things this coming week.
