Reproducer for this bug is not yet found. But syzbot does not use userspace
tools. That is, testing with old (or new) tools will not help. Please note
that syzbot uses crafted (intentionally corrupted) filesystem images. If the
kernel side depends on sanity checks / validations done by the userspace
side, syzbot will find oversights on the kernel side. Please don't make any
assumptions made by the userspace tools.
