Description
There seem to be a number of places in the kext's vnode/fileop handler where I/O (reading attributes, etc.) occasionally fails. In a few places there are asserts that even take down the system in case of such failures. We need to track down all the failure cases, some common root causes, and handle them correctly and gracefully in the kext instead of crashing the system.
Known failure cases:
Reports of more cases appreciated.
