(per-writer iteration counters went to /tmp/mfsrace.*.log in-guest;
guest later reset for the next test โ counters lost, elapsed ~3 min
of continuous O_SYNC pwrite/pread traffic before the panic)
[4] RESULT after ~3 minutes โ serial console (vm.sh log):
panic: Bad link elm 0xfffff8004f593d48 prev->next != elm

VERDICT: reproduced โ unprivileged concurrent file I/O on a mounted MFS
corrupts the mfs bio queue TAILQ across CPUs; INVARIANTS kernel panics in
the consumer (mfs_start). See panic.txt / VERDICT.md.
