Hello,

I am getting the following warnings while running syzkaller fuzzer on
7a308bb3016f57e5be11a677d15b821536419d36:

WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffff880065f7fef8 in
kworker/1:3:21075 has bad value ffffffff81598080
unwind stack type:0 next_sp:          (null) mask:2 graph_idx:0
...

Here are 4 examples:
