RE: Sleeping on "isp_mboxwaiting" with the following non-sleepablelocks held:

So? How about some details and context?

I thought was told that being able to use locks in HBAs is fine. I had
them on for a while, and then had them off. I turned them on again over
a month ago. I'm somewhat surprised to see that a problem shows up now.

*I* do the right thing with locks, IMO. I hold them in my module when I
enter and release them if/when I leave. Seeing a lock held by some
random caller causing me to blow up to me seems to be a hole in the
architecture, but I'd be the first to admit that I hardly am up to date
on what the rules of the road are now so such an opinion is
ill-informed.

Comment out ISP_SMPLOCK in isp_freebsd.h. If the problem goes away,
we'll make the change back again.

p.s.: you have *way* more issues here than locking- you've a bad disk.
Anyway, isn't alpha desupported?
