Thanks for pointing this out.

I've started collecting all such cases, so that we are able to draw
broader conclusions later:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/1051

added for this one:
=========
A mix of problems: unrelated bug triggered by the same repro
("WARNING: ODEBUG bug in netdev_freemem"); lots of infrastructure
failures ("failed to copy test binary to VM"); also the original
failure seems to be flaky. All this contributed to pointing to a
random commit.
Al Viro points out that the commit only touches comments, so we could
mark the end result as suspicious.
=========

The infrastructure problems is definitely something we need to fix
("failed to copy test binary to VM") (currently the machine hangs
periodically with lots of time consumed by dmcrypt, but I don't know
if it's related or not yet).

Re the comment-only changes, I would like to see more cases where it
would help before we start creating new universes for this. We could
parse sources with clang to understand that a change was comment-only,
but I guess kernel is mostly broken with clang throughout history....
