Thanks for Looking into this. Being to this, so I have some questions.

How did you find out the selection values? From strace and man pages I
know the third argument is an address.

Same here, It would be very helpful if you could tell me how.

I tested in 5.19-rc8 in Qemu x86_64 and it crashed for me.

That makes sense.

I tested the patches. The crash no longer occurs with the reproducer.
