Ok, I found a way to reproduce this using the config and kernel
baseline reported on 2023/09/06 06:24 at
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b591856e0f0139f83023. I
suspect mmap_lock is being dropped by a racing thread, similar to this
issue we fixed before here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJuCfpH8ucOkCFYrVZafUAppi5+mVhy=uD+BK6-oYX=ysQv5qQ@mail.gmail.com/
Anyway, I'm on it and will report once I figure out the issue.
