Working on the Linux kernel has always been unlike working on
many other software projects.
One particularly noticeable difference is the decentralized nature of the
kernel’s testing infrastructure. Projects such as

syzkaller, KernelCI,
or the kernel self tests
test the kernel in different ways. On February 28, Helen
Koike

posted a patch set that would add continuous integration (CI) scripts for
the whole kernel. The response was generally positive, but several people
suggested changes.
