But you said that this was reported by syzkaller. I can't find the report in 
the official list [1]. I am guessing you have a reproducer in a private 
instance and tested with it. And if you tested your patch with it, you have 
found that your patch fixes it, right?

Can you give us more information about this to let us figure out what is 
actually going on?
