Good news everyone,
the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *May 2022* has been
released.
Since the last release 298 patches by 25 authors were merged.
Patch review is what most of the projects struggle with and LTP is no
different. If you can spare some effort helping with the patch review is more
than welcomed.

* The concept of test runtime was introduced
- for details see https://people.kernel.org/metan/test-timeout-and-runtime
* Removed tests
- syslog tests as these were testing mostly userspace syslog daemon
and were broken for most of the syslog daemon implementations
* The test library was fixed to terminate all leftover processes in the case
that the main test process dies or exits
* New sparse check for {} terminator for struct arrays in tst_test has been
implemented
* Shell library improvements
- added support for $TST_FORMAT_DEVICE (.format_device in C API)
- preparations for shell API get support for testing on all filesystems (.all_filesystems in C API)
- getopts cleanup and changes how is the library sources,
which resulted in much simpler library code
* Userns tests were rewritten into the new test API
* Mountns tests were rewritten into the new test API
* 33 tests were rewritten to the new library
+ The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE
