Hello, tglx.
I reprduce this bug with
linux-next commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?id=eff99d8edbed7918317331ebd1e365d8e955d65e
kernel config: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=KernelConfig&x=61991b2630c19677
the same configuration as the syzbot dashboard:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=f2c4e7bfcca6c6d6324c.

However, I do not entangled the information and just try to generate
repro.c with the configuration provided by syzbot dashboard.
When I try the repro.c in the lasted upstream commit:
f2e8a57ee9036c7d5443382b6c3c09b51a92ec7e, it can't crash the kernel at
all. Should I assume this bug was fixed by the mainline?

Thanks!
Best Regards
xingwei Lee
