I sent it to someone called "Matthew Wilcox <mawil...@microsoft.com>". Also I cc'd that guy when I only started to point the finger at IDR as the suspected culprit in that syzcaller report.

I wish I had it when debugging but I got linking errors due to missing spin_lock_init, so I decided it wasn't up-to-date. Thanks, Roman. P.S. I'll forward your message to all the recepients of my patch, to let them know it's wrong and you have a better one.
