[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

I noticed below regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org that afaics
nobody acted upon since it was reported about a week ago, that's why I
decided to step in here. Could somebody take a look into below issue? Or
was this discussed somewhere else already? Or even fixed?

Anyway, to get this tracked:

#regzbot introduced: v5.15..v5.17
#regzbot from: Kai Mast <mail@kai-mast.de>
#regzbot title: bluetooth: QCA6390 firmware crashes after some time
#regzbot link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215872

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.

Additional information about regzbot:

If you want to know more about regzbot, check out its web-interface, the
getting start guide, and the references documentation:

https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/reference.md

The last two documents will explain how you can interact with regzbot
yourself if your want to.

Hint for reporters: when reporting a regression it's in your interest to
CC the regression list and tell regzbot about the issue, as that ensures
the regression makes it onto the radar of the Linux kernel's regression
tracker -- that's in your interest, as it ensures your report won't fall
through the cracks unnoticed.

Hint for developers: you normally don't need to care about regzbot once
it's involved. Fix the issue as you normally would, just remember to
include 'Link:' tag in the patch descriptions pointing to all reports
about the issue. This has been expected from developers even before
regzbot showed up for reasons explained in
'Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst' and
'Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst'.
