Hi, this is regzbot, the Linux kernel regression tracking bot.

Currently I'm aware of 15 regressions in linux-mainline. Find the
current status below and the latest on the web:

Bye bye, hope to see you soon for the next report.

P.S.: Wanna know more about regzbot or how to use it to track regressions
for your subsystem? Then check out the getting started guide or the
reference documentation:

https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/reference.md

The short version: if you see a regression report you want to see
tracked, just send a reply to the report where you Cc
regressions@lists.linux.dev with a line like this:

#regzbot introduced: v5.13..v5.14-rc1

If you want to fix a tracked regression, just do what is expected
anyway: add a 'Link:' tag with the url to the report, e.g.:

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/30th.anniversary.repost@klaava.Helsinki.FI/

Lo! This was the first report sent by regzbot, my Linux kernel
regression tracking bot, so I guess it might be a good idea to highlight
a few of it's aspects:

From now on I plan to make regzbot send such reports on Monday mornings,
e.g. usually a few hours after Linus released a new RC.

Let me know what you think about the format.

A few random thoughts and explanations about the current format:

- next weeks report will highlight regressions that get added to regzbot
over the next few days

- I chose to categorize the regressions by identification status and by
version line. Those where the culprit is identified come first, as they
are the ones which most of the time can be solved by reverting the culprit

- the entries in each section are ordered by time of last activity,
which makes it easy to spot those where nothing happened recently, as
they are near the end of a section.

- the webui (https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/mainline/ )
links to the latest five activities regzbot noticed (an activity most of
the time will be a mail send in reply to the report or a related thread
that regzbot monitors). I for now chose to not do that in the report, as
it would make it much longer and might be something that spam filters
consider suspicious.

That's it from my side. Let me know what you think.

Ciao, Thorsten

I like it, but as a maintainer, I find this hard to know what to do with
it.

As a maintainer, I want to be reminded of what regressions have been
reported for my subsystem, so I know what to do and who to go poke about
them.

I could dig through the list and try to see if these are relevant to me,
but it's not always obvious.

How about something like "one email per issue" as a response from the
first report, that would cc: the needed maintainers (or people from
MAINTAINERS, you should be able to get that automatically from
get_maintainer.pl) and the subsystem mailing list (again from
get_maintainers.pl), so that I am constantly reminded that "you need to
get this fixed!".

Pester me, it's my job as a maintainer to get regressions resolved.  If
I see a long list with no names on it, It's easier for me to just ignore
:)

Anyway, I know that's more work for you, don't do it if you don't want
to, but as you have individual items in your database already, maybe it
is easy to do, I don't know.  Thanks again for doing this work, it's
great to see happen.

thanks,

Well, I designed this a bit more for the tree maintainer, so Linus can:

(1) see when things are not moving forward as quickly as he'd like to
and get involved in the discussions or revert a commit

(2) decide if he wants to release another rc or the final

Yeah, that true. :-/

I'll keep this idea in mind. But that would result in a lot of mails.
That's something I like to avoid, as we all get enough mails already: if
regzbot starts to spam people, then some people might set up a mental or
procmail filter to ignore all of them.

That's why I settled on a different strategy:

> Pester me, it's my job as a maintainer to get regressions resolved.

I'm pestering developers and maintainers already, but I do it only when
it seems to be needed. And I do it manually for now; I intend to make
regzbot do it automatically sooner or later, but first I want to get a
better feeling when it's appropriate to pester people without getting
them quickly annoyed -- e.g. after what time and in which situations.

Here for example I asked why a patch didn't proceed, and got a reply
from the maintainer:
https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/cfac5f5c-83d7-e0d9-5368-07ca041ebaed@leemhuis.info/
Seems the patch still didn't get any farther, so I guess it soon time
for me to poke again.

In another thread two pokes both helped to get things rolling again, but
seems I soon need to send a third one, as it seems no one really feels
responsible:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/40550C00-4EE5-480F-AFD4-A2ACA01F9DBB@live.com/

Those are just two examples, I poked a few more discussions already and
it most of the time helped.

IOW: for now I'm trying the strategy "only send mails when its needed".

But this made me aware that I should teach regzbot one thing: if the
culprit is known, it should check if everyone in the SOB chain of the
change is CCed to the discussion on the regression.

Not really, as for now regzbot doesn't assign regressions to a
subsystem. I could add that, but how to fill and maintain that
association? When the culprit is known, regzbot should be able to fill
it automatically using the SOB chain or the path of the merge. But if
it's not, it becomes something that some human would need to do
manually. I really tried hard to avoid anything that requires manual
work, as it always hard to make people do it :-/

That being said: I'm pretty sure I sooner or later will make regzbot
store a association to a subsystem.

Ok, nice to see the new regression tracking bot start to show life.

Greg had one suggestion, I have another - namely about grouping of these things.

I like how you group them by "identified" and "unknown", because
that's certainly very meaningful.

But at the same time it does mean that if I look for "what are current
issues with the development kernel", it ends up being very spread out:

...

note how there was a lot of other stuff in between those "culprit
idenfified" and "unknown culprit" for the current kernel.

One of the things I really liked about the regression tracking you did
before was that it helped me get a sense for the state of the release,
and so I'd like to see that "current cycle" in one go.

I suspect that Greg may have a slightly similar issue - as a driver
maintainer, he cares about current cycle things (but mainly only when
they affect his subsystems), but with his stable maintainer hat on he
then cares more about the older cycles.

Greg suggested splitting out the issues one by one - to try to have
the right people on the Cc for any _particular_ issue, and while I
think that's not the solution in this case (I very much want to see
the "summary" email), it would be good to perhaps at least organize
that summary email slightly differently.

I suspect this is something we'd need to iterate on as we use this in
our workflow, but that was my initial reaction to this first report.

Yeah. :-D

Sadly one of my biggest problems with regression tracking remains:
getting aware of regression reports. I can fully understand that most
people don't care about regzbot for now, but it would really help if
everyone would CC regressions@lists.linux.dev on mails regarding
regressions (e.g. reports or any replies to them).

> Greg had one suggestion,

Still not sure how to approach his use case, but for now I started
adding the usual subsystem commit summary prefixes (e.g. "net:", "usb:",
"drm/amd") to the title of newly added regression, which might help
somewhat and won't hurt.

Hah, fun fact: the order you purposed was the one I initially had in
mind. But I later changed my mind, as I thought 'hey, if the culprit of
the regression is known, it should be able to fix this quickly (e.g. by
a revert, if there are no conflicts) even for regressions that made it
into proper releases".

But whatever: I'm totally fine with this and already changed the web
interface yesterday after your mail arrived, only took a minute:

https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/mainline/

Next report will use this order as well.

Definitely. If there is something else you want to see changed or think
is odd wrt to regzbot or my work as regression tracker, just let me know.

Thx for the feedback, much appreciated.
