Hi Matthieu!

Somewhat related. What do you do currently to ignore crashes?
I was seeing a lot of:
https://netdev-2.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-net-mp/results/431181/vm-crash-thr0-2

So I hacked up this function to filter the crash from NIPA CI:
https://github.com/kuba-moo/nipa/blob/master/contest/remote/lib/vm.py#L50
It tries to get first 5 function names from the stack, to form 
a "fingerprint". But I seem to recall a discussion at LPC's testing
track that there are existing solutions for generating fingerprints.
Are you aware of any?

(FWIW the crash from above seems to be gone on latest linux.git,
this night's CIs run are crash-free.)
