No, not at all, Linus!

Unless I'm still sleeping with wide open eyes (it's 6.30 AM here), you are misunderstanding
this message from Syzbot :)

This message means that Syzbot has applied and tested the patch and now is not
anymore able to trigger any bug. In summation it means that the patch works properly.

Now Muchun should simply submit his patch (the usual way) with a "Fixes:" tag
and with "Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+f8c45ccc7d5d45fc5965@syzkaller.appspotmail.com".

Thanks,

Fabio M. De Francesco
