Looking at crash rate and dates here:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=2b9fab00a235b50a34adbc35adc236f7dbe490fd
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=d6e4dd59a9b708895738b9cc59e6bdcb3a43ff14

It looks like something that reached upstream tree yesterday.
However, there is one outliner: 2018/09/30 08:58. So either that one
crash was something else, or syzkaller learned how to reproduce it
more often...
But maybe if you know some recent suspect patch that touched that
area, that may be the easiest way to localize the bug.
