It doesn't look obviously perf related but since the perf_fuzzer triggered it I thought I'd report it as a perf issue first. I can work on a smaller test case but that might take a bit especially as the machine locks up super hard and requires being unplugged after it's triggered. let me know if there's any other info I can provide. The dump below is transcribed from a screenshot as I still haven't figured out a way to get a serial console on this Raptorlake system.
