Hello, I've hit the following GPF while running syzkaller fuzzer:

Objdump shows that inode is NULL in atime_needs_update. Unfortunately reproduction of this crash is very hard. The program executes something along the lines of: mmap(0x20000000, 15945728, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x20000000 mkdir("./bus", 0662515705056234013740) = 0 openat(AT_FDCWD, "./bus", O_RDONLY|O_EXCL) = 3 symlinkat("../bus", 3, "./bus") = 0 renameat(3, "./bus", 3, "./bus/file0") = 0 mmap(0x20f35000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x20f35000 mount("./bus", "./bus", 0x20f2aee4, MS_RDONLY|MS_NODEV|MS_RELATIME|MS_NODIRATIME|MS_BIND|MS_MOVE|MS_REC|MS_UNBINDABLE|MS_SLAVE|MS_SHARED|0xc000380, 0x20093f5f) = 0 open("./bus/file0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) exit_group(0) = ? But in multiple threads so that some calls can be doubled and/or overlapped. And all this happens on a tmpfs mount. But I was able to reproduce it 8 or so times, so I am sure that it is real.
