Jordan: ktest: Automated Testing For Kernel Programmers

Daniel Jordan looks at ktest on the Oracle Linux blog. "Where ktest is especially useful, though, is in its ability to do these things for each patch in a series, thereby freeing you from a significant amount of tedium. For your chosen configs, the series will be cleanly bisectable and won't trigger upstream build bots with easily avoided errors and warnings mid-series. (Those bots are nice for less common configs though.) Code reviewers' moods improve too because each patch will stand alone with all the necessary code."
