causing a crash.
Suppose that we have two objects, obj and backing_obj, where
backing_obj is obj's backing object. Further, suppose that
backing_obj has a reference count of two. One being the reference
held by obj and the other by a map entry. Now, suppose that the map
entry is deallocated and its reference removed by
vm_object_deallocate(). vm_object_deallocate() recognizes that the
only remaining reference is from a shadow object, obj, and calls
vm_object_collapse() on obj. vm_object_collapse() executes
if (backing_object->ref_count == 1) {
/*
* If there is exactly one reference to the backing
* object, we can collapse it into the parent.
*/
vm_object_backing_scan(object, OBSC_COLLAPSE_WAIT);
vm_object_backing_scan(OBSC_COLLAPSE_WAIT) executes
if (op & OBSC_COLLAPSE_WAIT) {
vm_object_set_flag(backing_object, OBJ_DEAD);
}
Finally, suppose that either vm_object_backing_scan() or
vm_object_collapse() sleeps releasing its locks. At this instant,
another thread executes vm_object_split(). It crashes in
vm_object_reference_locked() on the assertion that the object is not
dead. If, however, assertions are not enabled, it crashes much later,
after the object has been recycled, in vm_object_deallocate() because
the shadow count and shadow list are inconsistent.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
