Everything up to this point is perfectly correct. So lots of things seem to be clear to you ;) The base test case is provided in under the "syz/C repro" links in the original report and in the bisection results report. > So this looks like a failure of your infrastructure. I agree that the result seems to be unrelated to the original crash. What is the root cause is a good question. You can see the exact history of how bisection progressed any why it ended up at the commit it ended up over the "bisection log" link. Kernel is unfortunately (or fortunately) is not a single-threaded deterministic user-space parser library without global state where everything can be bisected precisely. There is a very long tail of other problems as well. E.g. the same reproducer triggering multiple bugs at once, of different bugs at different commit ranges. At the same time lots of people asked for bisection of bugs. So this is where we are. I've started collecting all cases with incorrect bisection results, so that we can draw broader conclusions later and bucket common root causes: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/1051 Added this case too.
