Briefings

The Sashiko patch-review system, managed by Roman Gushchin, has been integrated into the Linux kernel development process to address the bottleneck of insufficient human reviewers. At the 2026 Kernel Recipes conference, Gushchin outlined the LLM-based mechanism and announced ongoing improvements. The system currently assists in reviewing code submissions but faces ongoing challenges in scaling and accuracy. Key metrics include the reliance on automated LLM generation and the specific timeline for review improvements.

Key points

• Roman Gushchin, maintainer of the Sashiko system, presented an overview of the LLM-based review process at the 2026 Kernel Recipes conference.
• The system aims to reduce the bottleneck of insufficient human reviewers by using large language models to generate reviews for kernel code submissions.

Context and limitations

The 2026 Kernel Recipes presentation provided an overview of the system but did not supply specific data on review throughput, error rates, or the exact number of automated reviews generated per day.
