If the stars align, I will run some serious rcutorture on it. Not that the stars have been aligning much over the past few weeks because I have been putting most of my testing effort into chasing an RCU bug. And not that rcutorture and friends are likely to find bugs in your part of the Linux kernel. Nevertheless, this is one of my concerns with a separate tree. Right now, my testing priority is (1) RCU, (2) -next, (3) mainline. If we add another tree, either I choose not to test that tree on the one hand or it detracts from my testing -next and/or mainline on the other. Thanx, Paul
