Many file system maintainers will run a full set of +xfstests before sending patches to Linus, and will require that any major +changes be tested using xfstests before they are submitted for integration. + +The easiest way to start running xfstests is under KVM with xfstests-bld: +https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md + +kvm-xfstests smoke +------------------ + +:Summary: File system smoke tests +:Superset: xfstests +:Docs: https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md + +The "kvm-xfstests smoke" is a minimal subset of xfstests for testing all major +file systems, running under KVM. diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 2565c04f0490e..f81a47d87ac26 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -7974,6 +7974,7 @@ L: [email protected] S: Maintained W: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org Q: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-ext4/list/ +V: kvm-xfstests smoke T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git F: Documentation/filesystems/ext4/ F: fs/ext4/ -- 2.42.0
