I was running syzkaller and I found the following issue :

This reproducer only worked on the syzkaller instance disk image that
I was using. I am adding the syzkaller report from a second instance
for the same issue:
Report #2

}
If someone wants to trigger this on their syzkaller set-up, try
running the following syzkaller config:
+ enable_syscalls: ["creat","open_by_handle_at"],
A similar issue was also previously reported by syzkaller
https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/c/EFmi5gTSMx8/m/jpt3fMPLAwAJ
which was closed due to the lack of reproducibility.
