Hi Stephan,

The general info about patch testing is here:

https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#testing-patches

Some additional KMSAN-specific info is at the bottom of the page:

https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#kmsan-bugs

In sort, you issue test command against
https://github.com/google/kmsan.git master and attach the patch.
The git tree/branch are also referenced in the syzbot report:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/syzkaller-bugs/nCuxVFfvc0I/zE1-hC3lCAAJ

Where did you see instructions mentioning Linus tree? I don't see we
ever refer to that tree in the instructions.

Thanks
