I think the most common way is to avoid rebasing. Do you rebase to get
rid of revised patches or such?

Ive just fixup the original patch that introduced it, btw how do you
run sparse to capture such errors?

So we don't need to rebase? There were some patches already applied
via bluetooth.git so at least I do it to remove them and any possible
conflicts if there were changes introduced to the bluetooth
directories that can eventually come from some other tree.

Hmm, is there any way to trigger net CI, either that or we need to
duplicate the same test under our CI to avoid these last minute
findings when we are attempting to merge something.

Are you saying we should be using merge commits instead of rebase then?

Well I got the impression that merge commits shall be avoided, but
rebase overwrites the committer, so the two option seem to have
drawbacks, well we can just resign on rebase as well provided git
doesn't duplicate Signed-off-by if I use something like exec="git
commit -s --amend".

Not really following, how can we anticipate a merge conflict if we
don't rebase? With merge strategy it seem that the one pulling needs
to resolve the conflicts rather than the submitter which I think would
lead to bad interaction between subsystems, expect if we do a merge
[-> resolve conflict] -> pull request -> [resolve conflicts ->] merge
which sounds a little too complicated since we have to resolve
conflicts in both directions.

In my opinion rebase strategy is cleaner and is what we recommend for
possible clones of bluetooth-next and bluetooth trees including CI so
possible conflicts are fixed in place rather on the time the trees are
merged.

The code is at:

https://github.com/kuba-moo/nipa

But it hardcodes net and bpf tree maching in places. You may want
to steal just the build script, its in bash.

Not sure what merge commits would mean in this case.

There's many schools of thought, but upstream there's very little
rebasing of "official" branches (i.e. main/master branches, not 
testing or other unstable branches) AFAIK.

Sure, be careful tho because I think it doesn't check the signoff
history, IIRC just the most recent tag. So you may end up with multiple
signoffs from yourself and Marcel.

If your trees are hooked up to linux-next (I presume not 'cause Stephen
would probably scream at you for rebasing?) - Stephen will tell you
there's a conflict within a day or two.

Obviously sometimes you'll notice right away when applying patches that
two patches touch the same function.

The pulling back should always be a fast-forward so there's no merge
commit or conflicts (git pull --ff-only). Only the actual downstream
tree (netdev) has to resolve conflicts, which is not all that bad
thanks for Stephen's advanced notices.

No strong preference here as long as we can keep the sign-offs etc in
control. Note that I'm not aware of any other tree we pull rebasing, 
tho, so you may run into unique issues.

We can either incorporate it on our own CI or start to consolidate
everything in one place since there are quite a few tests that apply
tree wide, though we would need to add support for subsystem specific
tests as well, anyway I leave for @Tedd Ho-Jeong An to comment on this
when he is back from vacation.

Yep, I thought that was a bug though since I doubt there is any use
for duplicated signoffs.

Maybe I need to get in touch with other maintainers to know what they
are doing, but how about net-next, how does it gets updated? Is that
done via git merge or git pull alone is enough?

git pull, if you mean upstream trees making their wait into net-next.
And afterwards submitter does git pull --ff-only to update their tree.
