Hi,

You forgot to put folks in CC as recipents for the cover letter :(

We all have our individual work flows, so don't take this as lecturing
or anything – I just suspect that I was forgotten in the cover letter
because you Cc people by hand in the individual patches.

What I do is that I run get_maintainer and then put the individuals
listed there into the --to= field. That sends the entire series to all
of them.

Only sometimes, when there's a huge list of recipents or when the
patches of a series are very independent, I deviate from that rule.

JFYI

Anyways, we have a bigger problem about the entire series. I now tested
again with the same setup as yesterday and the faults are indeed gone,
so that's good.

But to be sure I then did run kmemleak and got a list of leaks that is
more than 2000 lines long.

I'm no expert with kunit tests, but I'm being told that there shouldn't
be leaks from test leftovers.


Please do a test with kmemleak, too, i.e. build and boot a kernel in
QEMU and then do some scans.


Thanks,
Philipp
