Hi Martijn,

In short: too many bugs in kernel + long turnaround time for fixes.
Originally it was detected as "KASAN: use-after-free Read in
__list_del_entry_valid (3)":
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=09e05aba06723a94d43d
and that happened in binder. But then syzkaller found a reproducer for
it, but it turned out to be in rdma subsystem. It's generally not
possible to properly distinguish different bugs that look similar, and
if syzbot does more sensitive bug classification, then it will also
inevitably report more duplicates. So that bug was closed as an rdma
bug.
Now syzbot already skips list_del frame and takes the next one, so it
should become slightly better.

Let's close this one with the binder fix (since that one was closed
with an rdma fix):

#syz fix: ANDROID: binder: prevent transactions into own process.
