Yes, but when if_lagg.ko is loaded, the runtime linker resolves references to 'lagg_list_mtx' to point to the lock that is in the kernel's .bss from the compiled-in lagg, not the one in the .ko file. However, both initializer functions run (the one from the kernel and the one from the .ko) which causes the panic. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
