--- Comment #2 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) ---
Thanks for reporting this bug and marking it as a duplicate.   Please note that
Syzkaller is really terrible at creating an actionable bug report.   But at
least the mainline Syzkaller creates a repro.c file which a developer can run
--- instead of having to paw through a one megabyte log file which apparently
has a huge number of unrelated test programs.

Syzkaller programs are also not in as stable language, so unless you know
exactly what version of syzkaller was used to create a syzkaller repro, it's
mostly useless.   Indeed, Dmitry has essentially advised me to ignore the
syzkaller repro, since otherwise you have to check out the precise version of
syzkaller used to create the repro, and use it to run the syzkaller repro.   I
personally think that's a terrible design, but at least there is the
alternative of using the repro.c file.

I'd strongly encourage that you work on enhancing Syzkaller so it can generate
a sample image file combined with a poc.c file, the way Wen Xu's fuzzing system
works.  It results in a much more developer-friendly report that is much easier
for me to act upon --- with the result that his work has far more impact.
