I'm developing an Ethernet driver with FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT (amd64) and
I'm
receiving many of the following witness errors:
malloc(M_WAITOK) of "128", forcing M_NOWAIT with the following
non-sleepable locks held:
exclusive sleep mutex bce0 (network driver) r = 0 (0xffffffff8111e068)
locked @ if_bce.c:4607

The bus_dma_tag_create looks like this:
bus_dma_tag_create(
sc->parent_tag, /* parent */
4096, /* alignment */
0, /* boundary */
BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR, /* lowaddr */
BUS_SPACE_MAX_ADDR, /* lowaddr */
NULL, /* filter */
NULL, /* filterarg */
4096, /* maxsize */
1, /* nsegments */
4096, /* maxsegsize */
BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW, /* flags */
NULL, /* lockfunc */
NULL, /* lockarg */
&sc->rx_bd_chain_tag));
Am I doing something wrong? The function bce_init_rx_chain is called
from with
a lock but isn't that normal?
