Hi Alasdair,
I'd also like to see more people visibly reviewing and testing
patches.
Please respond in the mailing list threads with comments and
Reviewed-by: or
Tested-by: lines as appropriate. If you've only reviewed part of
the patch
or only tested a subset of the cases you think need testing,
explain in the
thread but don't add those lines. Only offer a Reviewed-by line if
you have
performed a complete line-by-line review of the patch and patch
header and
you support its inclusion in the tree.
To add a Tested-by tag, how much test do we actually need?
We've already done several tests of dm-ioband:
Proportional I/O bandwidth controlling
Loading/unloading driver and changing settings while under I/O load
Bounds checking of setting parameters
Benchmarks
Do you think these are enough for adding the tag?
It's very difficult for me to determine whether it's qualified or not.
It would be helpful if you could give me some advice.
Interesting question... If it was me, I'd like to see exactly what
you wrote above. State that you tested it and how you tested it. If
there are a number of people who test it and the things they describe
offer a broad spectrum of tests, I think that's helpful. Also, if
extra testing is wanted, it can be suggested based on what tests have
been performed.
