  Thanks for your info sharing for the issue history!
  I have sent one issue report to syzkaller before I received your email.
  Yes, we should not report useless report to Linux community.
  Thanks for suggestion!
  Anyway, we will carefully review reports of V4 filesystem issues before
  sending them to reduce useless report.

  Thanks!
  BR.
