Could you please kindly review them? Thanks.
Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen anytime soon. I am overloaded
with KVM/kernel reviews as it is, so I don't expect to have cycles for KUT reviews
in the near future.
And for PMU tests in particular, I really want to get selftests to the point where
the PMU selftests are a superset of the PMU KUT tests so that we can drop the KUT
versions. In short, reviewing PMU KUT changes is very far down my todo list.
Yeah, It's good and convenient that we can have one-stop test suite to
verify the PMU functions, so we don't need to verify the PMU functions
each time with KUT/PMU test and selftest/pmu test independently.
While it looks KUT/PMU test is still broadly used to verify KVM PMU
features by many users, and the patchset mainly fixes several KUT/PMU
bugs which would cause false alarms. If these bugs are not fixed, they
would mislead the users.
Yeah, patch reviewing takes much time and effort, thanks a lot for you
reviewing our patches in the past, and hope you can review this patchset
when you are free.
