[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2353] panic: assertion "gd->gd_spinlocks_wr == 0" failed in bsd4_schedulerclock

Issue #2353 has been updated by Venkatesh Srinivas.


Okay,

The problem is that we hold an MTX spinlock while attempting to go to sleep. The specific callpath and problem is that we hold the syscons MTX spinlock at :769, :771 of sys/dev/misc/syscons/syscons.c, around a device ioctl routine which may explicitly tsleep. The specific tsleep in question is via sysmouse_event, ultimately hitting kern_kevent and sleeping in kqueue.

First, why are we using MTX spinlocks at all?

Second, it is probably inappropriate to hold an MTX spinlock around the entire ioctl path here. The path gets the tty_token, among many other things, the chances of blocking are high.

What is it synchronizing that the tty_token is not?
