As a followup to a session on testing
challenges earlier in the day, Josef Bacik led a discussion on best
practices for testing in a combined storage and filesystem session at the
2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM). There are a
number of ways that developers can collaborate on improving the testing
landscape using fstests and blktests, starting with gathering and sharing
information about which tests are expected to pass and fail. That
information depends on a lot of different factors, including kernel version
and configuration, fstest options, and more.
