The patch below does not apply to the 5.4-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

This patch is not suitable for -stable due to its large size.

The size here is fine: 3 files changed, 79 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-)

Given that syzbot can trigger this, that means that humans can as well, so why shouldn't we fix this?

thanks,
