Panic in devfs

Hi,
I initially forwarded this to PHK, but got no reply so I'm posting it here.
I have caught a panic related to devfs while working on the new USB stack.
Backtrace:
uma_zalloc_arg()
malloc()
free_unr()
devfs_free()
destroy_devl()
destroy_dev()
ttyfree()
...
...
The problem is that the lock, "devmtx", see "kern_conf.c" line 61, is locked
when allocating memory. Maybe you have to call this "free_unr()" out of
order?
void
devfs_free(struct cdev *cdev)
{
struct cdev_priv *cdp;
cdp = cdev->si_priv;
if (cdev->si_cred != NULL)
crfree(cdev->si_cred);
if (cdp->cdp_inode > 0)
free_unr(devfs_inos, cdp->cdp_inode); XXX cannot call this
here because this function allocates memory XXX
if (cdp->cdp_maxdirent > 0)
free(cdp->cdp_dirents, M_DEVFS2);
free(cdp, M_CDEVP);
}
Can someone fix this and commit a patch to head, or should I make a PR out of
this?
