I don't know smatch and lkp well, and have no idea on how to use above
smatch.txt to build the target file.c. I meant in this lkp report, the
config file is available, however, the reproduce file is empty. Could
you help add an available reproduce file link? or give a little more
detail guiding me how to make use of above smatch file to build .c file?
Thanks a lot in advance.
