nve related LOR triggered by lots of small packets, and a hard hang

[Sergey Zaharchenko]

Hello -current,

While chasing that smbfs recursive locking thing, I decided to try
copying a large amount of small files (/usr/src actually) to an SMB
share to which I am connected by an NVIDIA nForce MCP2 card. I have come
across a lock order reversal which seems related to the card. First,
some files are copied, then I see the following kernel messages, some
more files are copied, and then the system hangs without responding to
the keyboard or anything.

: lock order reversal:

The last 2 strings repeat themselves a lot of times (kdb seems to have a
limit of 1024 stack trace strings, which came in very helpful). No info
about the actual hang... The LOR looks like #009
(http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/lor/009.html), but is different
actually. Any ideas? BTW, what is _end?
