The fixes tag only describes which commit introduced the bug, it is irrelevant what type of bug this is.
thanks Arnd.
what compiler warnings are defined as kernel bugs? is there a list that you use when tracking these?
I consider any warning a bug, a normal kernel build should always be warning free.
I sometimes send fixes for warnings that only happen with 'make W=1', 'make C=1' or even 'make W=2'. For those, I would only categorize them as a real bug if they actually cause runtime misbehavior, but there are some -Wsomething flags that we would like to enable by default in the future.
