Hi Christian,

That's "similar bugs" section. In this section syzbot shows previous
similar bugs and similar bugs on other kernels (lts, android).

"KASAN: use-after-free Read in filp_close" also happened on Android
tree, if you click on the link, you can see crashes and reproducers on
the android tree:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=255edc9d4f00a881d3bf68b87d09a8b7843409e7

If you are interested only in upstream crashes/reproducers, then
ignore the "similar bugs" section.
