Reminder: 1 open syzbot bug in rtc subsystem

[Eric Biggers]

[This email was generated by a script.  Let me know if you have any suggestions
to make it better, or if you want it re-generated with the latest status.]

Of the currently open syzbot reports against the upstream kernel, I've manually
marked 1 of them as possibly being a bug in the rtc subsystem.

If you believe this bug is no longer valid, please close the syzbot report by
sending a '#syz fix', '#syz dup', or '#syz invalid' command in reply to the
original thread, as explained at https://goo.gl/tpsmEJ#status

If you believe I misattributed this bug to the rtc subsystem, please let me
know, and if possible forward the report to the correct people or mailing list.

Here is the bug:

Can you stop spamming lkml?

Sending 20 "reminders" in a row is not something human would do, and it is not
something your bot should be allowed to do, either.

Hi Pavel, just to clarify, though I used a script to generate these emails, I
manually reviewed and sent each one; I also manually assigned the subsystems and
sanity checked the bisection results.  (I'm also not on the syzbot team.  I just
care about the security and reliability of the Linux kernel...)  The reason
there are so many of these emails is that there are a lot of kernel subsystems
with open bug reports, many clearly still valid -- even considering that I
decided to skip some subsystems after deciding to just fix the bugs myself,
update the bug statuses myself, send some other email, or just wait.

I suppose there's some argument to be made that it's too noisy to Cc
linux-kernel when I've already assigned a subsystem, though, so I'll try
dropping linux-kernel from Cc for next time and just using the subsystem list
and maintainers, and see if that goes any better or worse.

Note that the syzbot reports themselves are still going to linux-kernel, though.

Thanks!

- Eric

Out of curiosity, is there a reason for this?  They both go to the same place,
but the reason I used lkml.kernel.org is that some high-profile kernel
developers (e.g. Andrew Morton) are using it in the "Link: " tag in commits.
So it seems like lkml.kernel.org is maybe "right" one that is intended to
always keep working in the future?

But then I see Greg KH is using lore.kernel.org, so maybe it doesn't matter?

Maybe lore.kernel.org is better because people won't confuse it with lkml.org
and refuse to go to it :-)

That should do the trick. Thanks!

Yes, I know. I'm not entirely sure that is good idea.
