Github hosted "ubuntu-latest" x86-64 runners have enough resources (KVM, 4 cores, 16G RAM, 14 GB SSD) to build and run mainline kernel + xfstests in a nested VM. This script uses rapido rapido-linux/rapido#258 as a minimal initramfs generator and thin wrapper around QEMU. For simplicity it'd likely make sense to branch it under the btrfs namespace. The test VM currently uses btrfs-progs from the ubuntu-24.04 host system. This could also be changed to a source-compiled version. TEST and SCRATCH devices are backed by 8G zstd compressed qcow2 images. Signed-off-by: David Disseldorp <ddiss@suse.de>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we also need ncurses here, because btrfs/058 failed with:
Cannot read termcap database;
using dumb terminal settings.

This script uses rapido rapido-linux/rapido#258 as a minimal initramfs generator and thin wrapper around QEMU. There are some test failures due to the minimal test environment
(e.g. no udev yet).TEST and SCRATCH devices are back by 8G zstd compressed qcow2 images.
update 2026-03-02: udevd is now running fine alongside the dm tests
