Understood. No respin from me until you and Christian have settled the
direction.

Yes, I draft them with LLM assistance. I should have said so up front,
sorry. What I do not delegate is the checking: I verify the claims against
the tree before sending, and I am answerable for whatever goes out under my
name. The bug report itself came out of my own KASAN testing.

Your point about the volume is fair, and there is a concrete example of why
you are right to push back. In the v4 commit message I asserted that "every
in-tree driver passes a string literal". That is wrong: panthor kasprintf()s
the name (panthor_sched.c:3591) and kfree()s it in group_free_queue(). So
Christian's objection to caching holds for an in-tree driver today, not just
in theory, and I should have caught that before sending rather than after.
I will keep the mails shorter and slower.

Tvrtko, thanks for the quick answer on the tracepoints - the comment makes it
clear those call sites are fine, so I will drop that point.
