It occures with drivers, that don't use the default ifa_rtrequest, in my case in the midway driver. In rtrequest1 the radix node head is locked. Later on it calls ifa->ifa_rtrequest, which in turn calls the driver, where the driver lock occures. I suppose, that the radix head lock should not be held accross the ifa_rtrequest call, but it is needed a few lines below. Unfortunately my understanding of the routing code is limited, so I don't know whether this could be rearranged. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt_at_fokus.fraunhofer.de, harti_at_freebsd.orgReceived on Thu Apr 10 2003 - 00:17:48 UTC
