Note that the Bugzilla probably *isn't* what you're looking for, if you'r= e looking for small easy patches to start with. Hint: Many long-time kernel developers say the bugzilla is where kernel b= ugs go to die. That's because if it's an open bug in the bugzilla, one or more of the following things are probably true: * The bug has actually already been fixed but nobody ever bothered closin= g the bugzilla entry. * The bug isn't reproducible on a common configuration, either due to spe= cific hardware requirements (like a specific card at a specific firmware releas= e), or the software replicator for the issue isn't known, so only one computer c= an reliably trigger the issue. (A few years back, Linus and a few others fin= ally swatted a bug that triggered on *one* system several times a week. It tu= rned out to be a race condition, with a window caused by interrupts being re-e= nabled 3 instructions too early. So that one system was doing something that hi= t this literally billionth-of-a-second wide window several times a week). * The bug doesn't have an obvious/easy fix, so it's sitting in the bugzil= la while people try to come up with a fix that isn't too ugly to be allowed = to live. Once you get all the git configuration done and working, it's usual= ly faster to just create and submit the patch rather than open a bugzilla en= try, so bugzilla entries don't get created for obvious patches. * The bug report requires more information, and the original reporter of = the bug has evaporated. Your best source for low-hanging fruit these days is probably drivers/sta= ging, as pretty much everything under there is *known* to be less-than-optimal.= There should even be a TODO file for each driver in there, saying what stuff is= known to need work. (Note that it's always possible that things get fixed but = the TODO file doesn't get updated - that's a potential source of cleanup patc= hes as well) Good luck. And remember to back up your system before testing patches. := ) --==_Exmh_1630393773_77561P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Exmh version 2.9.0 11/07/2018 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJhLdWsAAoJEI0DS38y7CIcOtsH/isRyYhcODfn794Jd55JgCuX kbwQ3TYaI45rG0B8fSrVRFdGpuq6IBb7hj42KYWjeehyoibqjemping/7jdN1OGQ OBpXTTGFZ1RkMKnCIjvMbSNGDjbT7eTR4B+/n1k1TBwvFKdtBafPwBQb4fFMabL2 Zj5TY4kN2VC11wOC1/hy+oDkqA27W0InUaoAcAFvzD7tvonHjvjTHht/7W7Xo840 Sc4xK9NT45IXsZUwzWmJsD3kgomntdMXWbAS2j31e+e9y94W2ZDmZd+4byLlii9w 1ChHY1vhdSOz49QChHqs3XtUVOgIbrkHOGmpcZ3TlN2LYH7gmFZT/rT89qaDayE= =+FQK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1630393773_77561P-- --===============4084787750063525640== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies --===============4084787750063525640==--
