Hi all,
The following is an approximate list of commits left in linux-next
relative to 2.6.28-rc1. Some things here may have been included in
Linus' tree in a slightly different form. The kvm tree is excluded from
this list because the bits of it submitted to Linus are often different
to what is in linux-next (my scipt says that it has ~1400 outstanding
commits).
The commit list for each tree is generated using this:
git rev-list --pretty='format:%m%H' --no-merges --left-right --cherry-pick \
origin/master...$h | sed -n 's/^>//p'
(where $h is the branch for the tree) If anyone has a better idea, then
please let me know as the above takes a long time on each tree.

I have almost given up on this.
Three merge attemps failed for different reasons,

What are the reasons this is failing? Is it just moving different files
around into the tests/ directory? Or is it new functionality here?
If just moving stuff, is that really needed?

I'm holding on to these so they don't get lost, but Denis is reworking
them at the moment to make them fix the problems correctly.

I had hopes for these to be merged, but don't think they will be due to
some remaining usages in the media tree. I'll wait until 2.6.29 to push
them in.

The incentive was to have a common place to add small tests that
could be used to verify that the kernel works as expected.
>From inkernel modules (like rcutorture) to small userspace
utilities such as something massaging the epoll interface or
similar.
The above was just to get it started.
Having a set of tests to run when introducing a new syscall
would make it much easier for an arch maintainer to verify
that the implemented syscall works as expected.
And forcing the developer to use the interface from user-space
will hopefully catch a few issues earlier.

Ok, that's great, but the current tree is just the in-kernel tests so
far, right?

I totally agree that this is a good thing to have.
But I don't necessarily think that moving the in-kernel tests to this
directory makes that much sense here, wouldn't the in-kernel tests work
out better living next to the code they are testing, like they are right
now? Or do you and others think that moving them would help things
out?
And are there any proposed userspace tests in this tree right now?

While there are still a lot of patches in the queue (no merge yet for

Presumably what was merged was slightly different (or the commits were
split up differently). This is the same problem I have with the kvm tree.

It should be the same, but the xfs trees have been a bit of a maze
recently, so it shouldn't be a surprise that your list got out of sync.

The XFS tree used for linux-next got a bit out of whack and I couldn't make
sense of the mess so I've been using a different tree for the mainline pull
requests. We'll have this mess sorted out soon.

I guess at the time, the consensus was to collate all such tests (except
the arch specific ones) to under tests/. But yes, there isn't too much
difference in it living next to the actual code itself. The other neat
thing this would do is to have one config sub-menu for all the in-kernel
tests, which can still be done with a new Kconfig in lib/ or something.

No, it is currently limited to kernel code.

Ok, I really don't care about moving files around.
What I do care about is the goal of having userspace tests, or tests
that people can run to test out the kernel in some kind of way, like
mentioned earlier in this thread.
If someone wants to start collecting them, I'll glady host that tree and
work to push that to mainline.
