The Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board has issued its
report on the
submission of (intentionally and unintentionally) buggy patches from the
University of Minnesota.

This report summarizes the events that led
to this point, reviews the “Hypocrite Commits” paper that had been
submitted for publication, and reviews all known prior kernel commits from
UMN paper authors that had been accepted into our source repository. It
concludes with a few suggestions about how the community, with UMN
included, can move forward.

The recommendations include establishing an internal review process for
patches submitted by the community and the creation (by the TAB in
cooperation with researchers) of a “best practices” document for
researchers working with the kernel community.

(LWN editor Jonathan Corbet played a small part in the writing of this
report).
