Thanks for replying so exhaustively, Alison.

Good to know, but unfortunately now is too late for sharing on this list 
the patches which I've already sent to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org and 
other lists, but...

In order to let you see everything we did in April, can we send the 
subjects, the commit messages, and the links to lore.kernel.org of those 
patch which we already submitted without Cc'ing this list?

The following is an example of what I'm saying:

-----

ALSA: pcm: Test for "silence" field in array of struct "pcm_format_data"

Syzbot reports "KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in
snd_pcm_format_set_silence".[1]
    
It is due to missing validation of the "silence" field of struct
"pcm_format_data" in the "pcm_formats" array.
    
Add a test for valid "pat".

This patch has already been merged on April 11, 2022.

What about a list of entries like the one above?

Thanks,

Fabio
