Hi EXT4 ML! I'm working on a project to perform automatic patch selection for stable, and automate the testing being done for patches going in various stable tree. I got some input from the XFS folks so far, and wanted to get some input from the EXT4 folks as well. Below is a mail that would be sent as a response for ext4 patches tagged for stable and sent to the mailing list. Since this one is already tagged for stable, these results should be useful for people to understand if the patch properly applies to various stable trees and passes testing. For EXT4, at this point testing is the xfstests tree at https://github.com/tytso/xfstests , running with "./check -g auto". Complete build and test logs are available in the links embedded in the mail. I'd be happy to get feedback for this. Thanks! === Hi Theodore Ts'o, [This is an automated email] This commit has been processed because it contains a -stable tag.
