Note +that capacity is shared with patches submitted upstream being checked and so +depending on utilization the run can take a while to finish. + +Note furthermore that both base branches (bpf-next_base and bpf_base) will be +updated as patches are pushed to the respective upstream branches they track. As +such, your patch set will automatically (be attempted to) be rebased as well. +This behavior can result in a CI run being aborted and restarted with the new +base line. + Q: To which mailing list do I need to submit my BPF patches? ------------------------------------------------------------ A: Please submit your BPF patches to the bpf kernel mailing list: |
