i was questioning the argument about the ioctl issues, and saying that from my perspective, untagging bugs are not really any different than any other kind of kernel bug.
Once this series gets in, they are indeed just kernel bugs. What I want is an easier way to identify them, ideally before they trigger in the field.
i still don't see how this isn't just a regular testing/CI issue, the same as any other kind of kernel bug. it's already the case that i can get a bad kernel...
The testing would have a smaller code coverage in terms of drivers, filesystems than something like a static checker (though one does not exclude the other).
