Currently, we do not have any syzkaller or C reproducer to confirm that the bug was actually fixed. Now, that you have a supposed fix for the issue: Can you write a 'stress test' and (qemu) setup script that eventually makes that bug trigger (e.g., if we run the stress test for two or three days it will eventually trigger)? Then, we can also use that to confirm that your patch fixes the issue (beyond the normal sanity code review). This is certainly something you can do on your side to move this patch forward, and other developers with testing infrastructure can pick up and confirm your tests and results independently. I hope this helps, otherwise you will just need to have some patience.
