l *lf_setlock+0x52

For example, on one of my SMP test boxes:

> gdb -k /sys/compile/MUTEX/kernel.debug
GNU gdb 4.18
...
(kgdb) l *lf_setlock+0x52
0xc019ecae is in lf_setlock (../../kern/kern_lockf.c:229).
224                      * Deadlock detection is done by looking through the
225                      * wait channels to see if there are any cycles that

228                      */
229                     if ((lock->lf_flags & F_POSIX) &&
230                         (block->lf_flags & F_POSIX)) {
231                             register struct proc *wproc;
232                             register struct lockf *waitblock;
233                             int i = 0;

In this case, if your faulting virtual address is really low, your problem is
probably that lock is NULL.  (Assuming you haven't hacked this function to
pieces making my line numbers irrelevant.)
