 "verdict": "Mechanically confirmed together with DF-2861 via the harness on the stock guest: sglist_consume_uio with a 16-byte unmapped user buffer returned 0 (success) with zero progress and resid unchanged - the loop breaks on the _sglist_append_buf error but the function returns 0 unconditionally (subr_sglist.c:426), so EFBIG/EFAULT are indistinguishable from full success and a retry-until-progress loop would spin. Zero in-tree callers (rg; same dead function family as DF-0097/0098); identical in FreeBSD HEAD. On the fix kernel the same call returns EFAULT (the underlying append error) with nothing appended.",
