SubjectRe: [PATCH v3] kernel/watch_queue: Make pipe NULL while clearing watch_queue
Hello Dipanjan,

It would be nice if you could test this patch and tell if it fixes the
issue on v5.10, as you had reported it earlier.

Please apply the following commits before applying this patch:
db8facfc9faf ("watch_queue, pipe: Free watchqueue state after clearing pipe ring")
353f7988dd84 ("watchqueue: make sure to serialize 'wqueue->defunct' properly")

I have tested locally on tag v5.10, using the reproducer available on
syzkaller dashboard. The crash occurred when the patches weren't applied,
and it no longer occurs after applying the three patches.

Thanks,
Siddh
