Reporting Kernel Bugs

Reporting Kernel Bugs

[Joseph Salisbury]

Hello,

Is there a way to report new kernel bugs while bugzilla.kernel.org is 
down?  I imagine many folks are now starting to have new reports stack up.

Also, is there an ETA on when bugzilla will be back available again?

Thanks,

Joe

Just send an e-mail to appropriate mailinglist and CC 
responsible maintainer(s).

That's what many people prefer to bugzilla anyway.

One additional question.  Is there a way to work and search existing 
bugs while bugzilla.kernel.org is unavailable?

Nothing official right now as far as I know.

How do I know the responsible maintainer(s)? How do I know if the bug is 
confirmed or accepted?

If you can figure out what subsystem is the likely source of the issue, 
then you can check the MAINTAINERS file for the appropriate people and 
mailing list.  If there's a panic or oops, find the source file that is to 
blame and use ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <file>.  Otherwise, just 
report some unknown, untriaged error directly to 
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org and be sure to cc Andrew Morton 
<akpm@linux-foundation.org> who used to go through the kernel.org bugzilla 
quite often and send bug reports in the right direction.

For regression add my address to CC. When bugzilla comes back, then I create 
bug entry for regression.
