This bug has a reproducer as far as I see:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f4ef381349e100280193c25f24e01d9d364132d9

It seems to be a subtle race since syzbot did not progress with
minimization too much:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproSyz&x=16cbfeaf800000

it probably hit the race by a pure luck of the large program, but then
never had the same luck when tried to remove any syscalls.
So it can make sense to submit several test requests to get more testing.
