Staging is actually a great way to go from beginner to experienced but people mostly get bored first. You just have to pick one driver and keep focused on it until it is ready for mainline. If you keep your eyes open as you work then you will keep adding things to the your TODO list and you'll keep finding obvious bugs. You don't even need to really understand the code at first to spot bugs and fix them. Then after a while you will understand the whole driver. Most people start with boring white space changes and quit, but we've had some people progress on and become experienced. Static checker stuff is a pretty traditional KernelJanitors task. For example, if someone wanted they could take a look at the list of Smatch warnings below from today's linux-next. Of course, you could fix almost all of these warnings by adding casts but that's a brainless thing and you won't learn anything. But if you take your time and consider if the bug can be triggered in real life and what the effect of the bug is then it's a valuable thing and you'll learn from it. For example, some of these would only shift wrap if someone invented 12 peta cdroms or whatever so it's not going to happen in real life. If I recall, the bpf code that generates this warning is very deliberate? regards, dan carpenter arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:7033 kvm_vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector() warn: should 'vector << 12' be a 64 bit type? arch/x86/pci/mmconfig_64.c:106 mcfg_ioremap() warn: should '(num_buses) << 20' be a 64 bit type?
