Re: [PATCH 8/8] Move RODATA and NX tests to tests/

Previous thread: [Bug-fix]:2.6.25-rc0 Generic thermal management:ACPI [Patch 2/2]: buildfix for CONFIG_THERMAL=n by Thomas, Sujith on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 3:30 am. (1 message)

Next thread: build #345 issue for v2.6.25-rc1 in tuner-core.c by Toralf on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 3:54 am. (2 messages)
From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli
Date: Monday, February 11, 2008 - 3:44 am

The following series of patches create and populate the toplevel tests/
directory. This will henceforth be the place where all in-kernel tests
live.

All patches against 2.6.25-rc1 and are just code movement without any
change in functionality.

Create a toplevel tests/ directory to house in-kernel subsystem specific
tests.

Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for the Makefile corrections.

i'm not sure this is the proper place for it - it's highly x86 specific. 
arch/x86/tests sounds like the better place for it.

Right. I wasn't sure of it and so made these depend on CONFIG_X86. But
yes, it makes more sense for them to live someplace arch specific.

for the NX test I can see this; for RODATA...
that one is not really stand alone, but integrated with the rest of the rodata code.

Hi,

As Linus wrote on a recent sh pull request:

"Please use "git diff -M --stat --summary" to generate the diffstat: the -M 
enables rename detection, and the summary enables a summary of new/deleted 
or renamed files."

ACK to patches 1-7, and I agree with Ingo that the x86-specific test

OK.  But now is basically the worst time for me (or anyone else) to merge
large code-motion changes like this, because they need to be carried for
two months or more.

And even though git can track renames, putting them into a git tree (say,
git-kbuild) won't help, because if some other git tree tries to modify a
file in its original place, I get to fix up the fallout.

Which I _could_ do, and would do if the patches were particularly risky or
added/changed functionality or whatever.  But they don't do that, and there
is little advantage in maintaining them for the >2 months.

So.  Please redo and resend the patches when we hit 2.6.25-rc6 or so?

Thanks.

(linux-next will largely fix all this: git will take care of the renames
and I'll just base the -mm queue on the consolidated linux-next.  But we
aren't there yet).

Date: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 2:34 pm

alternatively, since it's just code motion and nothing more, it could just
be done in 2.6.25-rc; in fact doing motion patches in the -rc2 window makes sense to me,
that's the point where all external trees are the smallest, and it should be provably
the same result.. so safe.

Hi Linus.

Will you consider such a primary code-movement for -rc1
or shall we wait until next merge window?

Had we hit -rc2 I would not have sent this pull req and
feel free to flame me anyway.

The rationale to get it merged is obviously to avoid
merge conflicts and the only reason I ask is that I consider
it a low risk patch.

I have not included 8/8 since it was questioned and it
will wait until next merge window. But the first 7 was
straightforward.

You can pull from:
ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/tests.git

diffstat and shortlog below.
I also included mail last with a few of the merge related comments.

we could make it even lower risk and not move the Kconfig now.
Moving the Kconfig is fine for .26; it doesn't really impact anything else

Hi Anath.

Linus did not pull this in the -rc1 to -rc2 timeframe
so please resubmit the patch serie one week into the
next merge window (when most of the trees has hit linus' tree
and Andrew has made his first merge).

IF you need an extra eye balling then you can submit
a few weeks before the merge window opens.
Thats typical after an -rc with only a few patches.

Thanks,
	Sam

Isn't this set a good candidate for linux-next? If so, we could request
Stephen to pull in the patchset.

Stephen,

The patchset in question is just a major code movement - basically to
move all in-kernel tests to live under a toplevel tests/ directory. As
such, all the stakeholders have acked the patchset, but it does look
like this is a big enough change to be deferred to the next merge
window.

Given that there is general agreement about the patchset, could you
please pull in the changes into the linux-next tree?

Sam has setup a git tree for this and you can pull from:
ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/tests.git
 
Link to the thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/97

Thanks,

Hi Ananth,

On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:12:31 +0530 Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ib=

I will include this in the next linux-tree.  It looks like it should not
cause to many problems (it merges OK on top of the about to be announce
next-20080222), but if I get a hard to resolve merge problem with it, I
will drop it first, OK.

I have noted you as the contact.
