I've updated from v6.18-rc2 + 9p pull requests to master and I can't
reproduce any obvious corruption, booting an alpine rootfs over 9p and
building a kernel inside (tried cache=loose and mmap)
Won't be the first time I can't reproduce, but what kind of workload are
you testing?
Anything that might help me try to reproduce (like VM cpu count/memory)
will be appreciated, corruptions are Bad...
Thanks,
