Subject: [ANN] netdev development stats for 6.10
Date: Wed, 15 May 2024 12:25:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240515122552.34af8692@kernel.org> (raw)
Intro
-----
We have posted our pull requests with networking changes for the 6.10
kernel release last night. As is tradition here are the development
statistics based on mailing list traffic on netdev@vger.
These stats are somewhat like LWN stats: https://lwn.net/Articles/956765/
but more focused on mailing list participation.
Previous stats (for 6.9): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240312124346.5aa3b14a@kernel.org/
General stats
-------------
The cycle started on Mon, 11 Mar and ended Tue, 14 May. Same length
as the previous cycle.
Mailing list volume didn't change much, we saw 266 emails a day.
Similarly the number of people discussing things on the list remained
almost unchanged.
Netdev maintainers applied 20 commits a day, which is 13% down from 6.9
(6.9 was record high, so not too alarming).
Review coverage by tags in the git repo recovered by 2%, 63% of commits
had at least one review tag, and 56% had one from a person using a different
email domain than the author.
Review coverage by number of changesets which got applied after receiving
at least one comment on the mailing list (across all revisions) dropped
to 60%.
Testing
-------
The netdev selftest runner went live during the previous release cycle.
Last time I mentioned that there were 66 ignored cases, those were either
too flaky or always failing. I'm happy to report that we got the number
down to 20. We were using results from 243 selftests at the end of 6.9
cycle, I counted 283 tests in use now, so 40 extra tests. Many of the tests
are more of test suites than single tests, for example we run full BPF CI
now, but the point is - there's growth :)
Here are top 10 individuals with the highest number of commits[*] to selftests:
1 [ 43] Jakub Kicinski
2 [ 42] Florian Westphal
3 [ 23] Petr Machata
4 [ 13] Geliang Tang
5 [ 7] Kuniyuki Iwashima
6 [ 6] Lukasz Majewski
7 [ 4] Ido Schimmel
8 [ 4] Jiri Pirko
9 [ 4] Dmitry Safonov
10 [ 2] Willem de Bruijn
[*] commits which were applied directly by netdev maintainers.
I also tried to figure out which tests give us the most signal. It's
not easy to calculate because of flakes (BTW when I say flake I usually
mean that the test fails, but passes on retry - we auto-retry all tests
run directly by NIPA).
I used the following criteria: overall fail rate lower than 3%, never
flaked. With that the tests which failed the most are:
| Group Test Fail cnt
---------------------------------------------------------
1 | vmksft-net-dbg test-vxlan-mdb-sh 24
2 | vmksft-net ioam6-sh 21
3 | vmksft-net test-vxlan-under-vrf-sh 20
4 | vmksft-forwarding-dbg q-in-vni-ipv6-sh 20
5 | vmksft-forwarding-dbg vxlan-asymmetric-sh 20
6 | vmksft-forwarding-dbg vxlan-symmetric-ipv6-sh 20
7 | vmksft-forwarding-dbg vxlan-symmetric-sh 20
8 | doc-build htmldoc 20
9 | vmksft-net icmp-redirect-sh 19
10 | vmksft-forwarding-dbg vxlan-asymmetric-ipv6-sh 19
11 | vmksft-net big-tcp-sh 18
12 | vmksft-net test-vxlan-mdb-sh 18
13 | vmksft-net test-vxlan-vnifiltering-sh 17
14 | vmksft-net-dbg tls 17
15 | vmksft-forwarding-dbg dual-vxlan-bridge-sh 17
Which may or may not mean those tests caught the most bugs.
Almost exactly 1/8th of commits we applied were touching selftests
(12.51%). That doesn't seem very high.

Willem jumps into the top 5 after being quite active this month (all
over core networking and selftests), Sabrina reviewed a number of
network crypto changes (xfrm, macsec, opvpn).
On the "by changeset" side Jake climbs into top 10, with Przemek and
Olek also in the top 15, this is a strong cycle for Intel! Dan caught
and reported a number of bugs as well as helped to review and guide
bug fix contributions from others (ax25 patches most recently).
Thank you all very much for your work!

Asbjørn takes a high position on the author list with the improvements
to error checking in a large number of driver flower offloads.
Russell worked on converting phylink drivers to newer APIs.
(Both used a somewhat limited amount of threading when posting.)
Florian W, in addition to his usual work, moved and reworked netfilter
tests, which now run in netdev CI.
On the right side Mike R and Edward L are "non netdev people" who just
CCed netdev on their large series.
