Explore a 24-minute conference talk from linux.conf.au that delves into the challenges and solutions for decentralized kernel continuous integration (CI) testing. Learn about the current state of kernel testing, the importance of quick feedback for developers, and how the snowpatch project aims to bridge the gap between mailing list-based development and GitHub-style CI workflows. Discover how Patchwork can be used as a platform for publishing test results from various sources, including hardware vendors' internal labs. Gain insights into the implementation of snowpatch, its benefits, and potential future applications in providing comprehensive information about kernel patches shortly after submission.
