Given the attitude of "the researchers" and an earlier paper [1] so far, somehow I doubt they will act in good faith this time.
For instance:
"D. Feedback of the Linux Community. We summarized our findings and suggestions, and reported them to the Linux community. Here we briefly present their feedback. First, the Linux community mentioned that they will not accept preventive patches and will fix code only when it goes wrong. They hope kernel hardening features like KASLR can mitigate impacts from unfixed vulnerabilities. Second, they believed that the great Linux community is built upon trust. That is, they aim to treat everyone equally and would not assume that some contributors might be malicious. Third, they mentioned that bug-introducing patches is a known problem in the community. They also admitted that the patch review is largely manual and may make mistakes. However, they would do their best to review the patches. Forth, they stated that Linux and many companies are continually running bug-finding tools to prevent security bugs from hurting the world. Last, they mentioned that raising the awareness of the risks would be hard because the community is too large."
