(kzalloc returns null) I was already on the kbuild list since Dec 5, so I should have received this email, but I didn't. Could someone confirm what happened here? >From my perspective, I check almost exactly the same things as you do but not quite. I don't want to send duplicates but at the same time I have no idea what you are doing. The email to kernel-janitors is useless to me because it includes every warning not the warnings which were sent. The emails to kbuild are useless because people don't email kbuild. The old emails to kernel janitor used to work but we had to stop because it was flooding the list with stuff that wasn't related to janitor work. I don't know what to do here. regards, dan carpenter
