current maintainer of lmbench3

[Ryan Kosta]

Dear QA tool development,

During this week's kernel testday, I encountered a few interesting
compilation errors with lmbench. Nothing to warrent major concern but
their was a variable or two that had the wrong types, enough to offer a
patch or two.

When looking for lmbench I found the official intel github repository
for it online. The readme was consistent with the readme in the source
from the testcase stating the version as 2alpha8. yet the directory was
named lmbench3.

For this testcase did you clone lmbench directly from the intel github
repository or is their an internal Fedora repository in which it came
from?

Thank you,
Ryan Kosta

Hey Ryan,
for reference, this is the test day and the test case we're talking about,
correct?

We don't own the kernel-tests test suite, that's owned by the kernel team.
You can file issues or ask questions in the project repository:
https://pagure.io/kernel-tests
or using Kernel team's communication channels, i.e. their IRC or a mailing
list:

Hope that helps :)
