[Linux kernel bug] WARNING in free_event
From: Sam Sun
Date: Wed Apr 17 2024 - 09:40:48 EST
Dear developers and maintainers,
We encountered a kernel warning in the function free_event() while
using our modified syzkaller. It was tested on the latest upstream
linux(6.9-rc4). C repro and kernel config are attached to this email.
Kernel dump log is listed below.
