>Description:
Running firefox I keep hitting this assert (especially when deleting all history, but not just).

System panicked: kernel diagnostic assertion "(oip->i_size != 0 || lfs_dino_getblocks(fs, oip->i_din) == 0)" failed: file "/usr/src/sys/ufs/lfs/lfs_inode.c", line 595 truncate to 0 but 31 blks/31 effblks

should make a test of it, but couldn't reproduce it in other means.
I do know it uses an sqlite database for history.

Merely keeping lfs_lock for the assert is sufficient, but I think we need to hold onto it whenever calling lfs_dino_{set,get}blocks.

after applying the diff, there is an added getblocks not protected by lfs_lock in the start of the same function lfs_truncate, in code meant to deal with v1 inode format (fs->maxsymlinklen=0)
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Hold onto lfs_lock when calling lfs_dino_{set,get}blocks
in lfs_truncate.

(presumably) holding lfs_lock prevents us from grabbing seglock*
on entry to other code which calls setblocks, such as
lfs_update_single.

Now the assert that we truncated to 0 but the effnblks != 0
stops firing, and I can run firefox normally again.

* Not sure if this part is correct
