What we have now is not proper? syzkaller bot, Linux Test Project,
kernelci.org, xfstests, and more that I don't know of. Probably more than any
other OS.

I think it's fair to say Linux has by far more configuration options than any
other kernel out there. It's not feasible to test every single possible
combination. Things will slip through the cracks, especially bugs like this one
where clearly there is something wrong, but not everyone is able to reproduce
it at all. Automated tests are going to miss bugs like this.

We're not doing things worse than anyone else. Apple's APFS had major issues.
Microsoft just had a big problem with their Windows 10 1809 rollout.

Anyway, I remember you from another post you made to LKML complaining about
Linux. You really don't like the way Linux is developed. Why do you still use
it?

I digress.
