Hi Tetsuo,

The issue might be fixed by removing this vfs_sync(), but I'd like to
understand the idea behind since vfs_sync() shouldn't have caused
any IO to this loop queue.

I also tried to do the test via the following c syzbot, but can't reproduce
it yet after running it for several hours.

Could you share us how you reproduce it?

Thanks,
Ming Lei
