Hi Mike,
This doesn't make sense for me too. Stack #1 shows that syz-executor is releasing
its address space while stack #0 shows another thread is serving the write syscall.
In this case, mm->mm_users is 0 and all threads in this process should be serving
do_exit()? But I could be easily wrong. Also I can't see how vma_lock is locked before
trying to acquire mmap_lock in above stacks. Might this be a false positive?

Thanks,
Miaohe Lin
