--- Comment #3 from Konstantin Belousov <k...@freebsd.org> --- The first LoR looks as a false positive, mostly. It is readdirplus doing scan of the directory, and then querying the attributes of each found entry' node, except dotdot. So the lock order is parent vnode -> (it's buffers) -> child vnode, as expected by VFS. I said "mostly" because server can do the directory move like from A->B to B->A while client is not aware, and I am not completely sure that our client- side invalidations would avoid tricking in this situation. But this is very unlikely. For the second LoR, nfsupg->bufwait, the reported order is right. I wonder where the reversed order was recorded. That said, to diagnose the problem, you need to gather the information listed in the developer's handbook, debugging kernels, debugging deadlocks: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug/#kerneldebug-deadlocks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
