Hi, This series tries to clean up the testing infrastructure to be a bit more reliable. It doesn't fix all the broken tests but annotates those that I see as broken so testing can continue. As such, I've fixed all the kernel panics (in md-next now) and segfaults that caused testing to halt regardless of whether --keep-going was passed. I've also included some patches posted to the list from Sudhakar and Himanshu which fix some more broken tests. I've also included a patch which adds the --loop option to ./test which runs tests for a specified number of iterations (or indefinitely if zero is specified). This was very useful for ferreting out tests that failed randomly. The last two patches adds some infrastructure and annotation for known broken tests so that they don't stop the processing (even if --keep-going is not passed). Tests that are known to be broken can optionally be skipped with the --skip-broken or --skip-always-broken flags. With these changes it's possible to run './test --loop=0' for several days without stopping. There are still a number of broken tests which need more work, and there may be other issues on other people's systems (kernel configurations, etc) but that will have to be left to other developers.
