Some time back I saw something in the news about a Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer - KCSAN. It seemed neat and fun, so I enabled it. More recently I've been needing to consult my logfiles more and see a lot of KCSAN messages in there. It looks like a developer tool to me - it really does nothing but report potential future issues and doesn't seem to actually do anything. If I were actually in any sort of developer loop I guess I could be extracting these things and mailing them to someone, but I'm not.

I'm at the point where I'd like less chatter in my logs, so I think it want to turn it off. Anyone have a different take on this? (including, "Please send some of those extracts to me!")

edit - I first posted as KCSCAN - Kernel Concurrency Scanner, but it's really KCSAN - Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer. And I think it's really a "scanner", not a "sanitizer", because as far as I can tell it only reports an doesn't actually clean anything up.
