Umm... name_to_handle_at() in your log: name_to_handle_at(r4, &(0x7f0000003000-0x6)="2e2f62757300", &(0x7f0000003000-0xd)={0xc, 0x0, "cd21"}, &(0x7f0000002000)=0x0, 0x1000) and unless I'm misreading what you are printing there, you have "./bus0" passed as the second argument. Right? That's pretty much why I asked about other possible calls triggering it... If you are somehow getting there with empty name and if there's another thread closing these memfd descriptors, I understand what's going on there. It's how we are getting that empty name on your syscall arguments that looks very odd...
