[RFC PATCH v2 02/10] MAINTAINERS: Introduce V: entry for tests

Nikolai Kondrashov <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.kernelci,org.kernel.vger.linux-kselftest,org.kernel.vger.workflows
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Introduce a new 'V:' ("Verify") entry to MAINTAINERS. The entry accepts
a test suite command which is proposed to be executed for each
contribution to the subsystem.

Extend scripts/get_maintainer.pl to support retrieving the V: entries
when '--test' option is specified.

Require the entry values to not contain the '@' character, so they could
be distinguished from emails (always) output by get_maintainer.pl. Make
scripts/checkpatch.pl check that they don't.

Update entry ordering in both scripts/checkpatch.pl and
scripts/parse-maintainers.pl.

+Test your changes
+-----------------
+
+Test the patch to the best of your ability. Check the MAINTAINERS file for the
+subsystem(s) you are changing to see if there are any **V:** entries
+proposing particular test suite commands. E.g.::
+
+  V: tools/testing/kunit/run_checks.py
+
+Supplying the ``--test`` option to ``scripts/get_maintainer.pl`` adds **V:**
+entries to its output.
+
+Execute the commands, if any, to test your changes.
+
+All commands must be executed from the root of the source tree. Each command
+outputs usage information, if an -h/--help option is specified.
