Hi Pavel,

I'm pretty sure the commit c4512c63b119 ("mptcp: fix 'masking a bool'
warning") doesn't introduce the reported bug. This minor fix is
specific
to MPTCP which doesn't seem to be used here.

I'm not sure how I can tell syzbot this is a false positive.

looks like it's fs/namei bug. Similar reports:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=517fa734b92b7db404c409b924cf5c997640e324

Thank you for having checked!
Should we mark them as "#syz dup" if you think they have the same root
cause?

I think, yes, but I want to receive feedback from fs people about this
bug. There were huge updates last month, and, maybe, I am missing some
details. Alloc/free calltrace is the same, but anyway, I want some
confirmation to not close different bugs by mistake :)

If these bugs really have same root case I will close them manually
after fix posted.

Thank you for the explanation. Sounds good to me!

Cheers,
Matt
