I would like to give an update on syzkaller/syzbot and discuss:
 - testability of kernel components in this context
 - test coverage and what's still not tested
 - discussion of the process (again): what works, what doesn't work, feedback

I also submitted a refereed track talk called "Reflections on kernel
quality, development process and testing". If it's not accepted, I
would like to do it on Testing MC.
