Hi David,

I've noticed that the upstream patch:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/0ff50e83b5122e836ca492fefb11656b225ac29c
contains the KMSAN report and the repro, despite I've put them under
the triple dash (IIRC Eric told me I shouldn't bloat the patch
descriptions with that information). Did I mess it up somehow?

Alex
