Yes, definitely :)
(gdb) l *propagate_priority+0x66
0xc0575b36 is in propagate_priority (../../../kern/kern_mutex.c:178).
171 m = td->td_blocked;
172 MPASS(m != NULL);
173
174 /*
175 * Check if the thread needs to be moved up on
176 * the blocked chain
177 */
178 if (td == TAILQ_FIRST(&m->mtx_blocked)) {
179 continue;
180 }
181
182 td1 = TAILQ_PREV(td, threadqueue, td_lockq);
So I guess m was NULL here. If I had INVARIANTS enabled, it would have
paniced at line 172. Time to re-enable those kernel debug options :)
