This error showed up in my logs this morning while I was building some ports on a uni-processor box. I'm running a version of -current from July 7 about 1 AM PDT.
Jul 7 07:47:09 scratch kernel: lock order reversal Jul 7 07:47:09 scratch kernel: 1st 0xcabf7980 pipe mutex (pipe mutex) @ /usr/src/sys/kern/sys_pipe.c:451 Jul 7 07:47:09 scratch kernel: 2nd 0xc0474300 sigio lock (sigio lock) @ /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_sig.c:2113 I don't understand all the new locking stuff in -current, but it looks to me like maybe there should be a PIPE_UNLOCK()/PIPE_LOCK() wrapper around the following code in sys_pipe.c since a SIGIO could happen during the msleep(). /* * Handle non-blocking mode operation or * wait for more data. */ if (fp->f_flag & FNONBLOCK) { error = EAGAIN; } else { rpipe->pipe_state |= PIPE_WANTR; if ((error = msleep(rpipe, PIPE_MTX(rpipe), PRIBIO | PCATCH, "piperd", 0)) == 0) error = pipelock(rpipe, 1); } if (error) goto unlocked_error; I don't see a way for the locks to be asserted in the opposite order, though I suppose there might be a case of PROC_LOCK() followed by PIPE_LOCK() that would conflict with SIGIO_LOCK() followed by PROC_LOCK().
