How do you test Linux kernel?
Hello It is my understanding that Linux kernel doesn't has usual `make check` or `make test` command. There are LTP [1] and other related projects instead. Could you tell me please what test suits (if any) do _you_ run in practice? [1] http://linux-test-project.github.io/ -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev

It doesn't? Have you checked? $ make help | grep test Kernel selftest kselftest - Build and run kernel selftest (run as root) running kselftest on it kselftest-clean - Remove all generated kselftest files kselftest-merge - Merge all the config dependencies of kselftest to existed

It depends on what changes you make, to determine how you test it. thanks, greg k-h

If it is usual, which other software project with the same scale/volume and complexity range has that actually and if it exists - even more important - how useful is that? Kind regards, Bernd -- Bernd Petrovitsch Email : bernd@petrovitsch.priv.at LUGA : http://www.luga.at
