Can I reproduce the checks from patchwork on my local machine?

Checks in patchwork are mostly simple wrappers around existing kernel
|
||||||
|
scripts, the sources are available at:

Running all the builds and checks locally is a pain, can I post my patches and have the patchwork bot validate them?

No, you must ensure that your patches are ready by testing them locally
|
||||||
|
before posting to the mailing list. The patchwork build bot instance
|
||||||
|
gets overloaded very easily and netdev@vger really doesn't need more
|
||||||
|
traffic if we can help it.
