Is it because you don't have time this week or is it because you think it's just too late to add code during the merge window? If it's the former, then sure, we can wait. But if you want to wait just because we are in the merge window, you don't need to. For things that add testing, it's OK to send even this late in the game. What I and many should not accept, is any active development on the kernel itself. Adding a sample module to be able to test if things are working properly does not fall under that category. The reason I ask, is I feel nervous about sending code to Linus that I personally do not test. It's not a show stopper. I'll still send your patches without or without this change. Before I send a pull request to Linus, I like to run one last smoke test on the code, and that's when I discovered I don't really have any tests to test your code. -- Steve
