Yes, it definitely may depend on probability. There is usually a
significant correlation with the number of crashes. This bug happened
only once, that usually means either a very hard to trigger race
condition, or a previous induced memory corruption. For harder to
trigger race conditions, KCSAN (the data race detector) may help in
future. However, kernel has too many races to report them to mailing
lists:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/upstream?manager=ci2-upstream-kcsan-gce
Though, some race conditions are manageable to trigger and I think we
have hundreds of race conditions with reproducers on the dashboard.
