Gar... Gmail has been marking a bunch of syzbot emails as spam so I
never recieved Kirill or Hillf's responses to this thread. I've
updated my filters so we'll see how it goes. I suspect that
lore.kernel.org also marked Hillf's response as spam because it doesn't
have a copy of that email.

This email wasn't sent as a response to the thread anyway so it wouldn't
have necessarily helped me.

Here is really what I would prefer for a commit message.

Syzbot triggered an Oops:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/00000000000035...@google.com/
The problem is that the anonymous VMA got replaced by file VMA under us.

Fixes: 99cb0dbd47a1 ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS")

The important thing is that it has a link to the original thread and a
basic explanation and a fixes tag.

I didn't see any discussion on the thread why Kirill's fix wasn't
correct. It's sort of surprising.

regards,
dan carpenter

Understood, I will follow this from the next time.
