Well, it's probably different between maintainers, but it's common practice to have '[REGRESION] sub/sys got fubarred' in the subject. > > 2) A proper bug report with proper information (it's documented what should > > be provided), is way more worth than a patch with a mostly useless > > change log, which forces me to ask for the proper information instead of > > having it right away. > > I do agree that not having to ask for more information would be nice, > but hard to generalize because every subsystem needs different things. > > In this case you asked for the dmesg, which isn't even mentioned in > Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst as far as I can see. > So I'm not quite sure which documentation you're referring to here. I didn't look, but I expected dmesg to be part of it and a lot of people provide it as well as the start point of their bisection. Again, I had to do a shot into the dark and ask you whether it's fixed in -rc3. bisect start would have told me. So again. That revert patch habit does not make my life easier at all.
