RE: [PATCH] kernel: fix mishandling of out of memory in poweroff

[Scan Subscription]

Hi Andew,

The two reports that were sent on 6/28 and 7/6, were sent manually by us, Coverit Scan Admin, project dedicated for Open Source Community.
But going forward (next week), it will be completely automated. 
Based on the suggestions we got from some of the lead Linux Developer, weekly report includes only "Newly" discovered defects from the code change in that week, and will be sent to maintainer and to the community.
There are on an avg. 5-10 new defects in a week, sometime none.

Any one who wants to contact the person for the reports being sent, they can use the details provided at the end of the email that is scan-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx 
However, we are open to suggestions.

Reasons for using generic email
1. It is desgined to be automated, but so far it was manuall.
2. There are group of people behind this email and not just one. So, anyone who is available will respond.
3. Other Open Source community has shown the same interest to generate report on newly discoverd defect every time build is commited to Scan, and we use the same generic email address to subscribe and to send the reoprt to their mailing list, instead of creating separate email for each Open Source project.

Hence, using either scan-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx or scan-subscription@xxxxxxxxxxxx would be fine, but better would be to use the one in the email signaure, that is, scan-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx 
We will add "Reported By" in the next report.

However, as I said, we are open to suggestions.

Thanks

It would be nice to have a Reported-by here, but we were only given
"Scan Subscription <scan-subscription@xxxxxxxxxxxx>".

Is there some human behind these reports?  If so, can that person's
details please be included?¢éì¹»®&Þ~º&¶¬?+-±éݶ¥?w®?Ë?±Êâméb?ìdz¹Þ?)í?æèw*jg¬±¨¶????Ý¢j/?êäz¹Þ??à2?Þ?¨è­Ú&¢)ß¡«a¶Úþø®G«?éh®æj:+v?¨?wè?Ù¥>W?±êÞiÛaxPjØm¶?ÿÃ-»+?ùd?_
