# DF-0696 PoC — race ng_etf hook disconnect vs send via ngctl.
#
# Path (sys/netgraph/etf/ng_etf.c):
#   381:  if (NG_HOOK_PRIVATE(hook) == NULL) {
#   382:      NG_FREE_DATA(m, meta);   /* sets m=NULL, meta=NULL */
#   383:  }                            /* MISSING return here! */
#   392:  if (m->m_len < sizeof(*eh))  /* m==NULL -> page fault */
#
# Race window: ng_send_data (ng_base.c) checks HK_INVALID WITHOUT a lock,
# then synchronously invokes rcvdata. ng_etf_disconnect sets HK_INVALID AND
# NG_HOOK_SET_PRIVATE(hook, NULL) — if the sender's check passes before
# disconnect runs but rcvdata observes private==NULL, we hit the bug.
#
# This script races a tight connect/data/disconnect loop. If the race
# fires, the kernel panics at ng_etf_rcvdata+0x?? reading 0x?? from NULL.
# Run as root (ng_socket is privileged).
