Shouldn't you be always running the latest selftests on older kernels?
We don't always keep selftests up to date at all, as you can see here,
but newer selftests should ALWAYS work with older kernels.
Thanks for sharing your insights on this.
Couple of problems around this, would really appreciate your guidance on this.
1. Not all new selftests written might be correctly skipping if the feature is
not supported in older kernels.
They should be skipping if a feature/configuration isn't supported.
The right approach is to fix the test to skip.
thanks,
