Hi Pavel,

I'm pretty sure the commit c4512c63b119 ("mptcp: fix 'masking a bool'
warning") doesn't introduce the reported bug. This minor fix is specific
to MPTCP which doesn't seem to be used here.

I'm not sure how I can tell syzbot this is a false positive.



looks like it's fs/namei bug. Similar reports:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=517fa734b92b7db404c409b924cf5c997640e324

Thank you for having checked!
Should we mark them as "#syz dup" if you think they have the same root
cause?


I think, yes, but I want to receive feedback from fs people about this bug. There were huge updates last month, and, maybe, I am missing some details. Alloc/free calltrace is the same, but anyway, I want some confirmation to not close different bugs by mistake :)

If these bugs really have same root case I will close them manually after fix posted.

It's not false positive. I've suggested the fix here:
https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/c/HE3c2fP5nic/m/1Yk17GBeAwAJ
I am waiting for author comments about the fix :)

But, yes, syzbot bisection is often wrong, so don't rely on it much :)

Yes sorry, I wanted to say the bisection picked a wrong commit :)

All good then if syzbot often blames the wrong modification :)

With regards,
Pavel Skripkin
