OK, I didn't dig deep into the bug. I've just seen there are no working
reproducers and given this is ntfs3 which doesn't really have great
maintenance effort put into it, I've opted for closing the bug. If there's
a way to tickle the bug without writing to mounted block device, syzbot
should eventually find it and create a new issue... But if you want to look
into this feel free to :) Thanks for sharing the info.
