Is there a straightforward way to figure out which pieces of
git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git could be used to test on Linux 4.10.x? I know
running Fedora comes with the risk that the kernel gets ahead of out-of-tree
modules, and that the volunteers keeping OpenAFS alive prefer to release tested
software. So I get that there are times like now when the choice is between
running older kernels or pre-release (or not-yet-written) code. But this is a
personal desktop, not a production service machine, so thin ice is an acceptable
choice. Besides, if I can help out with some testing I'm glad to do that.
Having said all that, and having crawled around the repo with my novice level
git foo, I have not found anything like, "Those willing to crash and burn with
the latest kernels could try this, this, and that." I'm willing, but
insufficiently en-clued.
Thanks.
