Hello!
This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221201 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified

Coverity reported the following:

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Good bot. Some day we'll hopefully do more than freak out if writing guest memory
fails, so I think we want this:

Nit on the bot, if it's going to provide a Fixes without human verification, then
it should probably try to bisect (which I realize could get quite nasty). Both
this VMCLEAR issue and the SMM issue report bogus Fixes due to code movement. If
the blamed commit on this won't hadn't been so obviously wrong I likely would have
copy+pasted without ever verifying.
Maybe just omit the Fixes entirely and rely on the above "touched by commits" to
provide the developer with the hint?

Inspired by Sean's reply yesterday a "nit on the bot" from my side, too:
Reports like this will sometimes generate a discussion, hence it IMHO
would be good if the bot would suggest to place a "Link:" tag to the
report itself right after the "Reported-by:" tag. That might be a bit
tricky, but with a bit of luck the bot might already know the msgid of
the msg it is about to sent, which makes it straight forward to predict
the link the report will later have in the lore archives.
To explain: These links make things easier for future code
archaeologists. That's why Linus[1] considers proper link tags important
and why our documentation for some time says to place tags in cases like
this, too[2].
