Rapid Developing and Testing Linux Kernel in Docker Containers
summary
Describes a Mellanox developer workflow using Docker and the MKT (Mellanox Kernel Toolset) to speed Linux kernel development and testing. Covers fast compilation (claiming full kernel builds in under 30 seconds), local CI/static analysis (sparse, smatch, W=1 builds), and running an emulated VM with the new kernel inside a Docker container.
