  "verdict": "Source-certain: a reallocating diag reset (facts changed, mpr.c:551-576) calls mpr_iocfacts_free() (mpr.c:631) which tears down every interrupt handler via mpr_pci_free_interrupts() (mpr.c:801 -> mpr_pci.c:340-348), but re-establishment mpr_pci_setup_interrupts() is gated on attaching (mpr.c:718) and mpr_reinit() runs with attaching=FALSE (mpr.c:861) \u2014 so after such a reset the controller has no completion interrupts for the rest of the system lifetime; mpr_unmask_intr() (mpr.c:879) then enables signaling into a torn-down handler set. Result: hangs (config-page waiters sleep forever via timeout=0 at mpr.c:3740) or panics (mpr.c:846/862) \u2014 a controller/host DoS. Runtime inconclusive: guest has the driver compiled in (142 pci/mpr) but no SAS3 controller (probe.log).",
