Theres a lot of bugfixes there...
And some are obviously correct... But others would require a lot more understanding of the code to be sure they're correct.
Someone should go through this with a keen eye to check the fixes are actually correct, and aren't just making the fuzzer stop alerting while leaving a more subtle vulnerability open.

Yeah the fact that the kernel has changes like this with such minimal testing is the reason why we see regressions in these kinds of bugs all too often.
