Reproducer would be great, thanks.  Otherwise this goes on the thousands
of other "syzbot-found-bugs-with-no-way-to-reproduce" pile that we
have...

Wait, that's a VERY old and obsolete and known buggy kernel version.
Please test with something more modern, usually Linus's tree, or
linux-next or worst case, the latest stable release.  5.11-rc1 came out
almost 2 years ago, and over 150 thousand changes have happened since
then.

Not much we really can do about old obsolete kernels, sorry.

thanks,
