We have Guenter's test-bot that has helped out immensely here with this. It seems most of these can all come down to "we need more testing", which of course we do, no one can ever argue about that. It's just that almost[1] no one is willing to step up and do the work beyond what we are currently doing, which is sad... thanks, greg k-h [1] The people that are doing stable tree testing are doing a great job, Guenter, Shuah, kernelci, my build-bot, 0-day, etc. I rely on them to do the majority of the testing of stable kernels as on my own I have very limited resources to do so.
