I've got the following report while fuzzing the kernel with syzkaller.

On commit 6e80ecdddf4ea6f3cd84e83720f3d852e6624a68 (Sep 21).

I'm curious about your setup. Apparently you are running syzkaller on
QEMU but what I don't understand is how the rsi device comes into the
picture. Did you have a rsi usb device connected to the virtual machine
or what? Or does syzkaller do some kind of magic here?
I use dummy_hcd and gadgetfs to connect random USB devices to the
kernel from a userspace application. This happens inside a QEMU
instance. This simplifies fuzzing, since everything is virtualized,
but the found bugs can be triggered on a real machine by connecting a
malicious USB device.
