When calling dxr_init(), the FIB_ALGO infrastructure may provide a pointer to a previous dxr instance, which permits reuse of auxiliary dxr structures, i.e. incremental lookup structure updates. For dxr this is a crucial feature provided by FIB_ALGO, since dxr incremental updates are typically several orders of magnitude faster than full lookup table rebuilds. However, the auxiliary dxr structure caches a pointer to struct fib_data and relies upon it for performing incremental updates. Apparently, incremental rebuild requests from FIB_ALGO, i.e. a calls to dxr_init() with a pointer old_data set, may (under not yet fully understood circumstances) be invoked within a different fib_data context than the one cached in the previous version of dxr auxiliary structures. In such (rare) events, we ignore the offered old dxr context, and proceed with a full lookup structure rebuild instead of attempting an incremental one using a fib_data context which may or may not no longer be valid, and thus lead to a system crash.

FreeBSD Kernel Source:
This directory contains the source files and build glue that make up the FreeBSD kernel and its modules, including both original and contributed software.
Kernel configuration files are located in the conf/ subdirectory of each
architecture. GENERIC is the configuration used in release builds. NOTES
contains documentation of all possible entries. LINT is a compile-only
configuration used to maximize build coverage and detect regressions.
Documentation:
Source code documentation is maintained in a set of man pages, under section 9.
These pages are located in share/man/man9, from the
top-level of the src tree. Consult intro(9)
for an overview of existing pages.
Some additional high-level documentation of the kernel is maintained in the Architecture Handbook.
