Bagas, FWIW, before doing so you in the future might want to search lore for an abbreviated commit-id with a wildcard (e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=6faddda6* ) and the bugzilla url (e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbugzilla.kernel.org%2Fshow_bug.cgi%3Fid%3D218039). Because then in this case you would have noticed that this was already discussed on the lists and Chuck asked to bring it to bugzilla for further tracking, so forwarding this likely was not worth it: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ttqhq0i7.fsf@xxxxxxxxxx/ OTOH I wonder if what Chuck asked for was wise: '''Looks like "Memory Management / Other" is appropriate for shmem, and Hugh or Andrew can re-assign ownership to me.''' Not sure if Hugh or Andrew actually do anything like that. I doubt that, but maybe I'm wrong. Ahh, the joys of our bugzilla instance that many core developers avoid... (FWIW, I don't blame anyone for that, I understand why it's like that; but it complicated things...). Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page. P.S., FWIW: #regzbot monitor: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87y1g9xjre.fsf@xxxxxxxxxx/
