Hi Shuah,

syzbot always runs tests reproducers on a clean machine. There is some
state are running a Debian wheezy init, but no test/fuzz/stress
workload is run before the reproducer.
syzbot also uses VMs, so there are no real devices attached. And it's
GCE VMs (not qemu), and I think GCE does not even emulate any USB
devices.

An obvious thing to try would be to use the exact commit and config
syzbot gave (rather than 4.19-rc5).
You can also take the image syzbot uses here:

syzbot can test fixes for bugs with reproducers:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#testing-patches
So it can test your fix. But this obviously won't help with a test.
