Hi Dmitry,

What will be its meaning? How will it differ from fix?

Maybe a short clarification would help: what is the meaning of the syz fix
marker?

It's described here:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#bug-status-tracking

Depending on this answer, all that I am thinking of is to mark bug
reports for which there are fixes actively discussed, but yet not integrated.
Thus, such marker should only help others to point them to active discussions
instead of them trying to find fixes alone.

If it's only for humans, then there is no need to make a special
machine-readable command for this.
So basically what you wrote above is good:

This issue vanishes after applying the patch "[PATCH v2] crypto: AF_ALG - limit mask and type".

I just didn't understand that's still pending (but perhaps that's what
you meant by including "[PATCH v2]" part).
