Subject: [PATCH net-next] selftests: drv-net: clarify linters and frameworks in README
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 13:33:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428203357.1222611-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
Minor clarifications in the README:
- call out what linters we expect to be clean
- make it clear that by "frameworks" we mean code under lib/
not just factoring code out in the same file
