panic: lockmgr: locking against myself

[Goetz Isenmann]

Hi!

Got this panic while running "darcs whatsnew" on a directory that was
rsynced to/from a linux machine. Got the same crash after reboot and
after hammer cleanup. Temporarily no crash on a local copy of this
directory and maybe also after a hammer version-upgrade from 2.0 to
2.3. I am not sure, but it looks like the same panic happened again
after further (local) changes (only). It is probably related to the
fact, that I get very different number of hard links between the
global patch cache in $HOME/.darcs/cache and multiple working
versions. In the affected directory I see link counts between 1 and 3.

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

I am running i386 DragonFly v2.4.1.28.gf85b4 on an AMD Athlon(tm) 64
X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+

I have now a similar situation inside a vkernel, but I am still not
sure, what it really needs to get this panic. Looking at the vkernel
panic (sorry I know nearly nothing about gdb), both arguments of
sys_link contain the same filename in different directories. A "ls
-li" shows a link count of 3 and the same inode number. The third
reference is in a third directory and has also the same name.

Is there a possibility to get a system call trace of the darcs process
before the panic? Using ktrace I see no trace file after reboot.

I am also currently not able to save a crash dump for the vkernel:
Checking for core dump...
savecore: read: Invalid argument
Need to recheck my setup.

But maybe this information already triggers an idea... and I do not
need to further dig into bits I do not understand.
