The other thing I forgot to mention is annotations for failure rates. For now I'll just indicate it as a ratio ratio as as part of the ending comment for an expunge entry. For instance I just ran into a failure with a set of stable patches for generic/475, however after re-running the test it succeeded. So the test does not fail always. I'd like to annotate this. I now have to go and re-test with the oscheck/naggy-check.sh a few times as follows: ./naggy-check.sh -s xfs_nocrc_512 -f generic/475 This will run the test in a loop until it fails, and I can use this as an initial failure rate hint to the tester. If I wanted to get more accurate I could use an average of few runs with naggy-check.sh. In practice I typically am only sure a test succeeds if it passes at least 1000 times (one can use -c 1000 on naggy-check.sh). I will also then have to go back to the stable kernel without patches and verify at least one failure was visible before. This will confirm this is indeed not a regression. Likewise I'll have to test this also with the other sections and see if this is also observed there.
