Hi, Manish,

Your best bet is to raise a PR with all the detail you can.
freebsd-questions at ... tends not to be read by all of the kernel
developers who might be in a position to help you out.

If you can, try and generate a backtrace according to the instructions in

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-gdb.html

If nothing else, this should indicate where in the kernel things went
wrong, which will help in directing your report to someone with relevant
knowledge.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
