+## Reporting Linux kernel bugs
+
+Before reporting a bug make sure nobody else already reported it. The easiest way to do this is to search through the [syzkaller mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/syzkaller) for key frames present in the kernel stack traces.
+
+Please report found bugs to the Linux kernel maintainers.
+To find out the list of maintainers responsible for a particular kernel subsystem, use the [get_maintainer.pl](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/get_maintainer.pl) script: `./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f guilty_file.c`.
+Please also add `syzkaller@googlegroups.com` to the CC list.
+
+If the bug is reproducible, include the reproducer (C source if possible, otherwise a syzkaller program) and `.config` you used for your kernel.
+Bugs without reproducers are way less likely to be triaged and fixed.
+Make sure to also mention the exact kernel branch and revision.
+
+Many kernel mailing lists reject HTML formatted messages, so use the plain text mode when sending the report.
+
+If you believe that a found bug poses potential security threat, consider reporting it directly to `security@kernel.org`.
