Where can i find a task?

Hi there.

I'm new to this ML, i'm looking for some cheap tasks to begin with, where can i find some?

Hi,

You can check the TODO list of
http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors

There is also the reports of various checkers such as smatch, sparse or coccinelle
which report potential errors.

Here is a task:

grep -n -w printk drivers/ -R | egrep 'KERN_\w+ "\\n"' | grep -v CONT

These should probably all be using KERN_CONT (obviously you should check them and look around for other bugs as well). There are 38 patches worth of bugs there.

Also it's often a mistake to print blank lines to dmesg for no reason.

grep '\\n\\n' drivers/ -R

But those are slightly more controversial.
