Sorry, I overlooked gdb:

The deadlock makes sense. MDBG() in fm_malloc() issues dbg_get_mod_debug_level() which gets the same lock that dbg_set_mod_debug_level() already got.

The first option would be to never use locks for dbg_get_mod_debug_level()(because the list is just iterated through, no list mutations).
The other option is to create different get/set locks for level/facility in struct _dbg_mod_slot.

What do you think is the best option?
