One Line Summary

Collecting, running and contributing kernel tests is still a challenge

Abstract

At Facebook, we built a continuous integration infrastructure to do validation on our kernel releases. We run tests on our development branchs and on the upstream kernel.

We integrated some of the obvious candidates (LTP, kernel selftests, xfstests, test modules) and we’ll highlight the challenges of doing so.

A few questions still remains. What’s the best location for new tests? How can we ensure we have a better coverage to catch more functional and performance regression?
What’s would be a good way to collectively share the tests results?
