Not sure whether the following applies, but I think the patch
should be commited anyway:

In PR kern/46652 I reported, that DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS does never
check the **vpp parameters. A patch is included in the PR and
it does generate the missing tests.

I asked for feedback on the hackers mail list (IIRC), but did
not get any replies. 

Any objections against me committing the patch now ?

(A different fix is mentioned in the PR, the patch I suggested
was the minimal change to the code which made it work, the
alternative seems cleaner to me ...) Please read PR kern/46652 !


If nobody complains, I'll do the commit tomorrow.

Regards, STefan
