Description martin 2011-09-28 15:00:18 UTC
A process, which should have exited, is hanging and procstat reports

  PID  PPID  PGID   SID  TSID THR LOGIN    WCHAN     EMUL          COMM        
37462 37460 31946 31946     0   1 martin   exithold  FreeBSD ELF32 devel-gtk-shaken

procstat -k prints nothing for this process, but kgdb gives the following:

How-To-Repeat: I don't know how to repeat it.  This process runs every night, but this
is the first time I've seen it hang like this.

This appears to be known race, which won't be fixed for 7.4.

(In reply to Hans Petter Selasky from comment #2)
Would you add (a link to) more detail on the known issue?
Comment 4 Warner Losh freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-01-13 23:08:34 UTC
Since this is against such an old release, and it seemed to be a known problem that likely got fixed, I'm closing this bug report. Should it still happen against FreeBSD 13 or newer, please open a new bug report with the relevant information. Thanks.
