>Description:
On a UFS filesystem with SU+J enabled attempting to make a snapshot with mksnap_ffs causes the system to lockup completely after a while, needing a
reset to recover.

This is not the extreme slowdown due to the snapshot taking all available
disk bandwidth: the system becomes fully unresponsive, i.e. no reaction on
keyboard or mouse and e.g. remote ssh sessions just stop. However, the
system remains pingable.

If journalling is disabled by running tunefs -j disable <fs> (in single
user mode, if needed), making a snapshot will succeed again.

Two lock order reversal occurs in both cases, identical modulo the addresses.
These are the ones for an SU+J case:

It is not clear if the LORs are related to the lockup.

This issue specifically occurs on i386 (2.4 GHz P4, 2 GByte RAM, 500 GByte PATA disk) running 9.0-BETA2 as distributed, but the problem is also 100% reproducible on amd64 running a more recent 9.0-BETA2.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to make a snapshot of the /usr filesystem (32 GByte in my case), which is SU+J enabled by default. This can done by typing (as root):

cd /usr; mksnap_ffs /usr/.snap/testsnap

After a lot of disk activity for a few seconds the system locks up a described.
