A new kernel testing tree Sasha Levin has https://lwn.net/ml/all/ZxZ8MStt4e8JXeJb@sashalap a new tree that is intended to perform continuous-integration tests of pull requests aimed at the mainline. The plan is for this tree to hold more finished work than sometimes ends up in linux-next; in a name that seems destined to create typographical confusion, it is called "linus-next". The linus-next tree aims to provide a more stable and testable integration point compared to linux-next, addressing the runtime issues that make testing linux-next challenging and focusing on code that's about to be pulled by Linus. https://lwn.net/Articles/994983/
