Each filesystem has a different set of xfstests (and perhaps other mechanisms) to run so might be very specific to each file system, but would be helpful to discuss On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 9:32 AM Sasha Levin wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'd like to propose a discussion about the workflow of the stable trees > when it comes to fs/ and mm/.
