Hi,

Looks like this patch might have missed the attention of those
who can tell me if this works or why it might not.
For some more context; more details about the bug can be found at
    https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=287b84cc1c834c7878c4193d7b18760067f10a77
I should've highlighted that in my initial mail. My apologies.

Thanks,
Anant
