Hi Andrew,

You mean if the patch was applied during the bisection?
No, it wasn't. Bisection is very specifically done on the same tree
where the bug was hit. There are already too many factors that make
the result flaky/wrong/inconclusive without changing the tree state.
Now, if syzbot would know about any pending fix for this bug, then it
would not do the bisection at all. But it have not seen any patch in
upstream/linux-next with the Reported-by tag, nor it received any syz
fix commands for this bugs. Should have been it aware of the fix? How?

Thanks
