Description

The exact message is:

panic: Bad link elm 0xfffffffe5655be58 prev->next != elm

It seems launching a browser and opening a bunch of tabs at once is enough
to cause this panic.

I have put a bunch of core and kernel files at
http://www.wolfpond.org/crash.dfly/

Your kernel is more recent then my fix as far as I can tell but I was
sure I fixed that one. Try doing a full recompile of the kernel.

I went through the code in kern.26 and it was definitely up-to-date.

I think this crash may be related to one Jan Lentfer is getting where
a socket is getting ripped out from under some code that it shouldn't
be getting ripped out from under.

I have upgraded anyway; hopefully the new socket assertions will help in
tracking this down.

I believe these should now be fixed for real.  There was an additional
issue with the list the inpcb was placed on that caused another MP
race.

Yep, this one can be closed.
I couldn't reproduce the crash with the last kernel.

Ok, even more fixes committed, I missed two list corruption cases but
I am definitely on the right track now.

I still get this panic, with HEAD from today: on SMP kernel
running a few buildkernels with /usr/src & /usr/obj NFS mounted.

Should I upload crash dump?

I got one of these the past few days, and it looked like that was
actually a secondary panic. Can you verify that's the actual panic
message (the first one the gets displayed on the console)?

crash dump uploader to ~thomas/crash/19 on leaf.

I do think that subj was on console; but don't remember for sure,
please look into crash dump to decide primary reason.

I have a few more crash dumps w/ same panic string.

Thanks Thomas.  It looks like I forgot to wrap the nfs_write()
function with a token. I've pushed the fixes. Please update
and tell us if it fixed the problem!
