So, we haven't syzbot report for the case of HFS+. However, you can consider me
as reporter of the potential issue for HFS+ case. And I assume that Fixes tag
should be different for the case of HFS+. Potentially, we could miss the Fixes
tag for the case of HFS+ if you don't know what should be used as Fixes tag
here.
