The pytest-mh project is a plugin that provides a multi-host test framework for the popular pytest unit-testing framework and test runner. Work on pytest-mh started in 2023 to solve a multitude of issues that cropped up for developers and testers when testing the SSSD project, which is a client for enterprise identity management. I was not happy with the state of testing of the SSSD project and wanted to create something that would increase test readability, remove duplication, eliminate errors, and provide multi-host testing capabilities, while having the flexibility to build a new API around it. Finally, I also wanted something that can be used by anyone to test their projects as well.

Linus on Rust and the kernel's DMA layer

Linux Weekly News

6 hónap 3 hét óta

At the end of January we ran this article on the discussions around a set of Rust bindings for the kernel's DMA-mapping layer. Many pixels have been expended on the topic since across the net, most recently in this sprawling email thread. Linus Torvalds has now made his feelings known on the topic:

You are not forced to take any Rust code, or care about any Rust code in the DMA code. You can ignore it.

But "ignore the Rust side" automatically also means that you don't have any *say* on the Rust side.

You can't have it both ways. You can't say "I want to have nothing to do with Rust", and then in the very next sentence say "And that means that the Rust code that I will ignore cannot use the C interfaces I maintain".

The code in question seems highly likely to be merged for the 6.15 release.
