It was added in patch 3/5, so I think this error is bogus. Unless there's a
typo I'm missing?

Yes sorry, the patchset was not detected correctly in your case,
ending up the patches being tested as individual ones.

I'll fixup the robot.

Thanks.

How did the robot decide to build this series in the first place? Does it build
everything sent to one of the lists on CC?

Yes, currently the following mailing lists are subscribed.  Patches
sent to them will be tested if they can be git-am to RC or linux-next
kernels:

kvm
linux-acpi
linux-bluetooth
linux-btrfs
linux-embedded
linux-ext4
linux-fsdevel
linux-media
linux-mmc
linux-nfs
linux-omap
linux-pci
linux-pm
linux-raid
linux-rdma
linux-scsi
linux-usb
linux-wireless
netdev
netfilter-devel
linux-mm
driverdev-devel
intel-gfx

Thanks,
Fengguang

So do you mind adding linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org ? :)

It's pretty low traffic compared to lkml.

Hi Fengguang,

I think this proactive testing does a little more harm than good in
it's current form.  While offering testing for patches that aren't in
git trees and or by people that don't even have a git tree that the
build bots known about does seem useful, blindly doing it for every
patch against something that most likely isn't the right base seems
counter intertuitive.  We'll probaby need some annotation in the O/n
mail that asks for a test and sets a base tree to actually make it
useful.  With those few tweaks it should be really useful!

Maybe we should have a discussion about this at kernel summit?

Yes that may be a good topic for gathering feedbacks and ideas for
improving this useful but messy testing feature.

The best option could be to define a way to annotate the base tree's
branch/commit of a patchset and possibly automate the annotation in
the git/quilt email clients. Currently git does generate

        index c933675..a2aa0cd

for each diff files, however I find it far from enough -- there are
~50000 files in the kernel tree, knowing hash numbers for the typical
1-100 files a patchset may touch is pretty helpless in narrowing down
the search space of possible base trees.

It may also be useful to specify whether or not a patchset needs such
kind of testing. That'd be an easier task -- the robot can detect some
magic words in the email and take action accordingly. And it can auto
skip testing in some cases -- for example, Peter Zijlstra offered a
good point to skip testing patches without "Signed-off-by:" in a "Re:"
email. The patches already tested as git tree commits in the 500+ git
trees the 0day robot monitors will be auto skipped, too.

Also we could test against both mainline and linux-next -- an
excellent suggestion from Dan Carpenter, which is just implemented,
thanks!

Not knowing the exact base tree leads to inherent messiness, and the
possible solutions/workarounds are

1) annotations to tell the base tree (best option)
2) annotations & heuristics to skip tests
3) guess the suitable tree the maintainer would apply patches to
4) test on mainline & linux-next to filter out unstable build errors

(3) is kind of dirty work and enlightenments from subsystem
maintainers are highly welcome -- typically the suggestions can be
offered when you find a bug report to be unsuitable.

As for now I'm trying to teach 0day robot to apply patches to the
matching subsystem's "for-next" branch based on information in the
MAINTAINERS file. 

Thanks,
Fengguang
