Thanks for these tips!

After fixing some other things. I was able to reproduce one of the three
failures modes overnight and some related issues from fault injection. 
These errors gave me clue to fix the bug (or at least one of the bugs). 

I have a suggestions on the bug dashboard, like:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=86fa0212fb895a0d41fd1f1eecbeaee67191a4c9

It isn't obvious to me which image was used in the test. Maybe we can add
a link to the image or instructions to build the image? In this case, I
think the bug only triggers on some images, so testing with the exact image
is important.

Thanks again,
Song
