I think thats a false positive, getiobuf gives you a fresh clean buffer,
which isn't known about to the buffer cache code (yet) Looking at the
getiobuf it already sets cflags to BC_BUSY, so doing so genfs doesn't
actually need to do so (and probably shouldn't anyway, otherwise people
might thing cflags can be played with outside of the bufcache code)

I've also seen a similar hang.  I had a biolock and a biowait on the
same  buffer, and bunch of tstiles.

The biowait was from an open call.  The biolock was from a close call.
AFAIR the vnode was different, but the buf was the same.

show buf indicated that the buffer was flagged as done.

Since applying ad's patch to add a KASSERT for cv_has_waiters(or running
LOCKDEBUG kernel) I've not been able to repro the issue, build.sh -j8
(on a quad-core) runs to completion, even with raidframe rebuilding
underneath it.

All fs are ffs on raidframe mirror.  / doesn't use softdep, /home does
use softdep.

Thanks,
Chris
