liburing testing suite integration inside kirk (All-in-one Testing Framework)

[acerv]

Hello,

my name is Andrea Cervesato, QA Kernel Engineer at SUSE, and I'm the main developer of kirk, an All-in-one runner for testing frameworks, created with the idea of testing Linux kernel using multiple frameworks (also via SSH, Qemu, etc). The project started including LTP and moved forward including other testing frameworks.

In our QA team, we found liburing testing suite a nice way to test Linux io_uring support and for this reason I decided to include it in the kirk base code. You can find the source code here and maybe find it interesting for your project.

Thanks,
Andrea

That sounds great! For me personally, I run the tests manually, and I keep wanting to setup something that'll test branches from my kernel tree whenever changes happen. Maybe I should look into kirk for that?

kirk works on running Linux kernel, but it's possible to configure its internal Qemu communication in order to boot busybox images. This can be done due to the Qemu -kernel option. I was planning to write documentation about it.
If you are interested I can share it in the next future.
