Hi all,

While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools (lkvm) guest, using today's -next
kernel, I'm getting these:

Note that they are very easy to reproduce.

Also, I see that lots of the code there has a local variable named 'bug' thats tracking
whether we should BUG() later on. Why does it work that way and the BUG() isn't immediate?


Thanks,
Sasha
