Summary

This was an error, we cannot use sbuf_trim(9) in the ixgbe_get_phy_firmware_version function because it also gets called in the context of sbuf_new_for_sysctl(9). sbuf(9) explains the interaction with drain functions as used by sbuf_new_for_sysctl(9).

Event Timeline

Suggested approach which I think might be simpler, but the only mandatory thing is the final space that got left in.

sys/dev/ixgbe/if_ix.c
4697

I'd add a const char *space = ""; here

4705

Then add space =" "; here with {}

4709

and use space here instead of this express....

4710

with the same space = " "; here.

4714

and replace this with space.

4718

I think you missed one of the trailing white spaces here.. It would have been trimmed before.
