See here https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md

Just reply this thread by attaching a fix with command like: "#syz test: 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git 
7f466032dc9e5a61217f22ea34b2df932786bbfc"

Btw, I've let syzbot test you patch, and it passes.

Thanks
