[$] Snowpatch: continuous-integration testing for the kernel

Many projects use continuous-integration (CI) testing to improve thequality of the software they produce. By running a set of tests afterevery commit, CI systems can identify problems quickly, before they findtheir way into a releaseand bite unsuspecting users. The Linux kernel project lags many others inits use of CI testing for a number of reasons, including a fundamentalmismatch with how kernel developers tend to manage their workflows. At linux.conf.au 2019, Russell Curreydescribed a CI system called Snowpatch that, he hopes,will bridge the gap and bring better testing to the kernel developmentprocess.
