Hi Greg, Sasha,

Sorry to bother you, this is kernel test robot, we have sent some reports related to the stable kernel rule, do you want to receive such report? or any suggestion for us to improve it, or disable it?

Yes, can you respond with the same subject line as the original email, to make it obvious what this is referring to? Much like your other emails for when a submission breaks the build.

thanks,

greg k-h

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your reply, we'll update the report subject to point to the original mail.

Best Regards, Rong Chen

Hi,

Thanks for your patch.

FYI: kernel test robot notices the stable kernel rule is not satisfied.

Rule: 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' or 'commit <sha1> upstream.' Subject: [PATCH 5.10] block: fix null-deref in percpu_ref_put Link: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20220729065243.1786222-1-zhangwensheng%40huaw...

The check is based on https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

Sasha uses "[ Upstream commit <sha1> ]", so his syntax should be accepted, too.

That's not the "rule" that is being checked here at all from what I have seen so far when this email has been sent out.

thanks,

greg k-h
