You should not attempt to acquire a lock which will be held by other

I was not aware of this restriction, nor can I find it documented.
This suggests that one cannot call cv_signal() from within an
interrupt handler. Is this true?

Check the man page for cv_wait(9f) under CONTEXT. As for using cv_signal
in an interrupt handler, no problem. Initially, at least, this was the
most common place for
cv_signal to be called.
