We've spent three months arguing over shell scripts and makefiles for what should be a trivial feature. We make fundamental changes to the VM code with less contention. It's not helped that timezones are working against everyone here, so even minor changes end up taking a while to get reposted, re-reviewed etc, but the level of pushback because something isn't perfect is absurd, especially when we're talking about new features. If you want the in-kernel variant to be perfect every step of the way, and move slowly and never introduce subtle breakage along the way that then gets fixed up in subsequent changes, maybe a faster moving external project that syncs up with the kernel tree is the way forward. If kselftests is going to evolve into something useful, something has to change. Dave
