Citing from Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst :

"patchwork checks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Checks in patchwork are mostly simple wrappers around existing kernel
scripts, the sources are available at:

https://github.com/kuba-moo/nipa/tree/master/tests

**Do not** post your patches just to run them through the checks.
You must ensure that your patches are ready by testing them locally
before posting to the mailing list. The patchwork build bot instance
gets overloaded very easily and netdev@vger really doesn't need more
traffic if we can help it."
