Hm, I don't seem to have a test result here for 4.9.55-rc1, so I'm hijacking this thread to ask what happened to the tests there?
Turns out that 4.9.55-rc1 did not work at all for networking, yet no tests seem to have caught it. Are we not testing something with a network here? You said you were using NFS, how did that work?
Anything we can do to add to the tests to verify that basic dhcp works? We should learn from our mistakes...
Heck, the simple build/boot tests that Google runs instantly found this issue when I tried to merge 4.9.55 into the android-common trees, maybe I should just rely on thost tests from now on?
Because of this, I had to release 4.9.56 a few hours later fixing the issue. This doesn't make me feel like I can trust this testing effort at all just yet, given the track record it has shown this past week. We have had two known-bad kernel releases and none of this testing caught it at all (both were caught by community members...) :(
Back to booting the kernels on my laptop and running 'make allmodconfig', that's found more errors so far than anything else...
