But syzbot already found a rather simple C reproducer
( https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=116fc7a8c00000 ) for this bug.
Was this reproducer used for bisection? I guess that if this reproducer was used,
syzbot did not hit "WARNING: ODEBUG bug in netdev_freemem" cases.

Also, humans can sometimes find more simpler C reproducers from syzbot provided
reproducers. It would be nice if syzbot can accept and use a user defined C
reproducer for testing.
