I think that is a separate bug.
The warning from the link you provide is
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 8266 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open0
and the perf_fuzzer can trigger this within seconds (and apparently
trinity and syzkaller all triggered it as well).

The deadlock mentioned in the e-mail you are replying to here is different
and took many hours before triggering, and I think is vsyscall related.
I only recently added vsyscall support to the fuzzer.

I don't necessarily have a reproducer for it. I can try to trigger it
again and get one together. There was a power outage so my fuzzing
machines are all down and I need to get them running again.
