	Lock Order Reversal::
	The FreeBSD kernel uses a number of resource locks to arbitrate contention for those resources.
	A run-time lock diagnostic system found in FreeBSD-CURRENT kernels (but removed for releases), called man:witness[4], detects the potential for deadlocks due to locking errors.
	(man:witness[4] is actually slightly conservative, so it is possible to get false positives.)
	A true positive report indicates that “if you were unlucky, a deadlock would have happened here”.

	True positive LORs tend to get fixed quickly, so check https://lists.FreeBSD.org/subscription/freebsd-current and the link:http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/lor.html[LORs Seen] page before posting to the mailing lists.
