• The Sashiko patch-review system

    Roman Gushchin has announced the
    existence of an LLM-driven patch-review system named Sashiko. It automatically creates reviews
    for all patches sent to the linux-kernel mailing list (and some others).

    In my measurement, Sashiko was able to find 53% of bugs based on a
    completely unfiltered set of 1,000 recent upstream issues using
    "Fixes:" tags (using Gemini 3.1 Pro). Some might say that 53% is
    not that impressive, but 100% of these issues were missed by human
    reviewers.

    Sashiko is built on Chris Mason's review prompts (covered here in October 2025), but the
    implementation has evolved considerably.
