Testing and fuzzing are crucial to the stability that the Linux kernel demands. <\/p>\n<p>Last year&#8217;s microconference brought about a number of discussions; for example, syzkaller evolved as syzbot, which keeps track of fuzzing efforts and the resulting fixes. The closing ceremony pointed out all the work that still has to be done: There are a number of overlapping efforts, and those need to be consolidated. The use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/doc\/html\/latest\/dev-tools\/kasan.html\">KASAN<\/a> should be increased. Where is fuzzing going next? With <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.linuxfoundation.org\/realtime\/start\">real-time<\/a> moving forward from &#8220;if&#8221; to &#8220;when&#8221; in the mainline, how does RT test coverage increase? The <a href=\"https:\/\/google.github.io\/kunit-docs\/third_party\/kernel\/docs\/\">unit-testing frameworks<\/a> may need some unification. Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/kernelci.org\/\">KernelCI<\/a> will be announced as an LF project this time around.
