So the question is how do we define auto group, 7721b85 removed auto group because "the auto group is for tests that *are* expected to succeed". I searched for Dave's explainations on 'auto' group in his reviews, and got the following definitions: - it should be a valid & reliable test (it's finished and have deterministic output) [1] - it passes on current upstream kernels, if it fails, it's likely to be resolved in forseeable future [2] - it should take no longer than 5 minutes to finish [3] generic/042 is a valid & reliable regression test, and it finishes within 5 seconds for me, but it fails on current upstream kernels, and I don't see when it could be fixed (the test was added in Oct. 2014, it's not fixed in almost two years). So removing it from 'auto' group seems fine to me, but I'm not sure about the 'quick' group. Is it related to auto?
