Hi Dave, Here is the image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jzhGGe5SBJcqfsjxCLHoh4Kazke1oTfC/view (took me about a minute to extract from test by replacing memfd_create with open and running the program). Then do the following to trigger the bug: losetup /dev/loop0 xfs.repro mkdir xfs mount -t xfs -o nouuid,prjquota,noikeep,quota /dev/loop0 xfs To answer your more general question: syzbot is not a system to test solely file systems, it finds bugs in hundreds of kernel subsystems. Generating image for file systems, media files for sound and FaceDancer programs that crash host when FaceDancer device is plugged into USB is not feasible. And in the end it's not even clear what kernel subsystem is at fault and even if it somehow figures out that it's a filesystem, it's unclear that it's exactly an image that provokes the bug. syzbot provides C reproducers which is a reasonable common ground for bug reports. At this point the bug needs human attention. Some bugs are trivial enough that a developer does not even need to look at the reproducer. Some bugs are so involved that only an expert in a particular subsystem can figure out what happens there.
