--- Comment #8 from Mateusz Guzik <mjg@FreeBSD.org> ---
Is this testcase running in parallel with mount/unmount requests for someth=
ing
else? If not, what's "mount" output while the test is running?

It is supposed to be an invariant that the fields tested here are set corre=
ctly
at mount time, but I see a potential for a race. Prior to my changes the ke=
rnel
kept overwriting these fields before copyout with expected values.

VFS_STATFS(mp, &mp->mnt_stat) called on mount can easily inject transiently
"bad" values due to memcpy. Note the rest of the buffer has arbitrary conte=
nt.
If I'm right, the code was already broken prior to my changes but not in a =
way
which could have been detected by this testcase.
