Ask the maintainers! In an ideal world there would be a directory or package of self tests associated with the subsystem. Alternatively: If you have an account on git make a "My work is GPL3" statement file then clone or fork and add your patch and add the self test. A personal fork gives you a playground, you can merge it back or just flush. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html On Tue, May 7, 2024 at 7:39 PM Camila Alvarez <cam.alvarez.i@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I’ve been discussing a bug with one of the maintainers of a subsystem.
