[$] Testing for storage and filesystems

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/937830/

The kdevops
kernel-testing framework has come up at several earlier summits, including
in two separate sessions at last year’s event.
Testing kernel filesystems and the block layer, not to mention lots of
other kernel subsystems, has become increasingly
important over time.
So it was no
surprise that Luis Chamberlain led a
combined storage and filesystem session at the
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit
to talk more about testing, the
resources needed for it, and what can be done to improve it. It was the
final session for this year’s summit, so this article completes our coverage.
