Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking.
I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org. As many (most?)
kernel developer don't keep an eye on it, I decided to forward it by
mail. Quoting some of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216785 :

See the ticket for more details.
BTW, let me use this mail to also add the report to the list of tracked
regressions to ensure it's doesn't fall through the cracks:
#regzbot introduced v6.0..v6.1-rc8
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216785
#regzbot title bcache: memcpy: detected field-spanning write...
#regzbot ignore-activity
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
[Note: this mail contains only information for Linux kernel regression
tracking. Mails like these contain '#forregzbot' in the subject to make
then easy to spot and filter out. The author also tried to remove most
or all individuals from the list of recipients to spare them the hassle.]

#regzbot inconclusive: stop tracking field-spanning write warnings, they
come from a new security feature

Tracking them would cost time I better spend on more important things
for now

FWIW, I'd find it handy to see these. I've been trying to track and fix
them. To that end, I've just sent out the following patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

Thanks!

In that case I'd suggest: I forward any I see to you, but don't add them
to the regressions tracked with regzbot.
Does that sound fine for you? Or is there a strong reason why I should
track them? Then they would be in the weekly reports to Linus, but I
wonder if he cares. At least for now now I guess he does not -- at some
later point where of the problems that are still hiding surfaced and
were fixed it might be something different. But then I could start
tracking them.

Great!

That would be much appreicated; thank you! :)
