Port CrashMonkey to 4.14 series kernels #129

Closed ashmrtn closed 5 years ago

ashmrtn commented 5 years ago

Tested on 4.14.35-041435-generic installed on Ubuntu 18.04.

Some test failures are reported when running seq1 workloads with xfsMonkey, but I have not investigated these in depth. However, they do not appear common enough to point to a major flaw in the port.

Furthermore, this was tested on a 4.15 installation and the results of the ported version did not differ from the results of an un-ported version run on the 4.15 machine.

Seems like it doesn't really require "porting" per se, just acknowledging that CrashMonkey works for 4.14 without any changes. Can we have an explicit comment saying that somewhere?

ashmrtn commented 5 years ago

Are you talking about a comment in the code (there's not really a good place for this unless we stick it in a README somewhere it seems) or a comment in the PR description?

I’d suggest something like PORTING.txt
