Subject:   [PATCH] Lockmgr deadlock on STABLE_8
Message-ID:  <3bbf2fe11001130112l26f7370dr2e282455a934a0b@mail.gmail.com>

As people following HEAD may have seen, around 1 month ago a fix to
lockmgr(9) has been committed that should prevent a deadlock for that
primitive (the fixup is composed by r200447,201703,201709-201710).
As long as the approach choosen in HEAD is optimal, unluckilly it does
introduce an ABI breakage.
In order to allow a MFC, a similar approach, being a bit sub-optimal,
but not breaking ABI, has been prepared for STABLE_8:

I'm seeking for testers here.
Any report would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Attilio
