/*
 * DF-0492 harness: ng_l2tp lockless race on seq/window state
 *
 * Source: sys/netgraph/l2tp/ng_l2tp.c
 *   - struct l2tp_seq (lines 120-137) has NO mutex (ng7 has mtx)
 *   - ng_l2tp_seq_recv_nr (line 1126): NO crit_enter, NO lock
 *   - Timer callbacks rack_timeout(1309), xack_timeout(1267): crit_enter only
 *   - On DragonFly crit_enter is CPU-local, does NOT block other CPUs
 *
 * Race window: CPU A processes incoming L2TP control packet -> ng_l2tp_seq_recv_nr
 * frees xwin[0..nack-1] via m_freem (line 1149-1150) + memmove + memset (1151-1154).
 * Concurrently on CPU B, rack_timeout fires -> L2TP_COPY_MBUF(xwin[0]) (line 1351)
 * on the mbuf being freed -> UAF in m_copypacket.
 *
 * This is a genuine race but requires:
 * - SMP (multiple CPUs)
 * - L2TP control traffic (to drive recv_nr) during timer expiry
 * - Precise timing (or traffic flooding to widen the window)
 *
 * This harness demonstrates the race condition exists by showing the two code
 * paths execute without any common lock. It uses POSIX threads to simulate
 * concurrent access and detect the data race.
