it will not skip, though we are not testing commit by commit. If the issue
is found, and bisect to the bad commit, we will report to author of that
commit for information.
Sorry, I'm not following along, let me rephrase my question...
This is the rough timeline that recently occurred:
- changes were made to stacktracing API
-- one commit affected livepatching and broke a selftest
-- Linus pulled the changes
- the livepatching tree updated its master to Linus tree
-- Miroslav noticed that self-tests were broken in the livepatch tree
-- we fixed up the stacktracing API, pushed up to Linus
-- all is good now
Could the 0-day bot testing have helped us spot the self-test breakage
before Linus pulled or when the livepatching tree updated?
Thanks,
-- Joe
