Dmitry, I don't see a way to tell syzbot that its bisection has gone
astray. Can you add one or document it if it already exists?

This change affects the read path. The crash happens in the unmount
path. The data structure that's being checked is modified in the write
path. I just can't see how this commit is in any way related.

Yeah I agree the bisection hasn't identified the correct commit.
The starting commit is not related to btrfs but the bisection hit the
warning basically on each run so it's not completely random. There might
be some timing change that triggers the warning, likely it's caused by
some the space accounting bug.

Most likely the bisection pointed at your patch because it removed
kmalloc while the reproducer for the bug does fault injection (see the
"(fail_nth: 10)" line in syz repro). So it might have inadvertently
made the issue more visible to the fuzzer.
If the bugs are indeed related, we might want to tell the bot to
deduplicate one to another.
