Try compiling the kernel with the "clang" static checker stuff. It should find some potential bugs. Sort through them and find which are real. Then fix them. I don't think anyone is using the clang checker on a regular basis. Run it against linux-next. The key really is to read a lot of code and find bugs. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
