Description

Fuzzing (randomized testing) become an important part of the kernel quality assurance. syzkaller/syzbot report a hundred of bugs each month. However, the fuzzer coverage of the kernel code is far from being complete and some subsystems are easier to fuzz/reach, while others are harder/impossible to fuzz/reach.
In this talk Dmitry will talk about patterns and anti-patterns of UAPI/subsystem design with respect to fuzz-ability:

  • what makes it impossible to fuzz a subsystem
  • what leads to unreproducible crashes
  • why a subsystem may be excluded from fuzzing
  • what makes a perfect interface/subsystem for fuzzing
