There _is_ a theoretical reproducer: the test that provoked syzkaller's original bug report. But syzkaller doesn't realize that it is (or may be) a reproducer. It ought to be possible to ask syzkaller to run a particular test that it has done before, with a patch applied -- and without having to add anything to linux-next. Alan Stern
