Patch review has long been one of the limiting constraints for the kernel
project (and most others); there just aren’t enough people to properly
review all of the code that is submitted for inclusion. The Sashiko
system, which uses a large language model (LLM) to generate reviews
automatically, offers the prospect of some relief, and has already become
an important part of the kernel’s development process. At the 2026 edition
of Kernel Recipes, Roman
Gushchin, the maintainer of Sashiko, provided an overview of how
the system works and what is being done to improve it.
