For regression testing, it was requested that we run this against all the -mm and -git patchsets. Over the last couple weeks I've gotten most of the infrastructure for this put into place. I now have all of these linux patches being downloaded, applied to their base trees, and compiled. I've also tested running the test suite on it. Next I need to automate booting the machine to the new kernels, and after that will need to develop a reporting tool, but those should be pretty straightforward; if I don't get it done tomorrow I hope to tackle it after I get back from vacation. Once we have fully automated these six CPU hotplug regression tests on all kernel releases, is there any further testing needed for lchp? * Memory hotplug - I've also set up the CPU patches to compile using the same framework as for CPU hotplug, so we'll have this regression testing covered as well, and we will also have the ability to run additional tests. I asked Dave if he wanted to see any particular tests run on this, and he didn't have any in mind. Do you know of any existing tests that would be worth running on these kernels? * ia64 system - I have access to this machine, and am working on getting it configured to be able to add it to the above framework, so we can get compile results. However, I need some direction about specifically what testing we want to do on it, beyond just boot testing? Also, do our testing objectives include testing on hardware that has memory hotplug capabilities? If so, is there a machine I should be looking at for doing this on? Thanks, Bryce
