Hi Laurent,

My main goal is to study how to find bugs in the Linux kernel. When
that work finds a bug, I also want to help fix it and contribute to
the kernel.

Static analysis flagged possible bugs, and we reviewed them by hand
with help from DeepSeek and GPT-6.1 Sol. Even after that review, many
of them still seemed worth looking into. I got excited about the
findings and sent more patches than I could follow up on. I regretted
that decision soon afterward. I should have sent fewer patches and
replied sooner. I'm sorry for the extra work this caused.

I'll use this shared address only to reply to feedback I haven't yet
answered on patches I've already sent. I'll go through that feedback
one message at a time and respect the decisions maintainers have
already made. If any of the remaining patches are still worth
considering, I'd be grateful for the chance to answer questions
about them.

I still hope to contribute to the kernel in the future. If I have
the chance to do so, I'll use my own email address, respect the
maintainers' requests, and send only as many patches as I can
follow up on promptly.

Thanks,
Wentao
