It is important to have fixed (sub)test names in TAP, because these
names are used to identify them. If they are not fixed, tracking cannot
be done.
Some subtests from the userspace_pm selftest were using random numbers
in their names: the client and server address IDs from $RANDOM, and the
client port number randomly picked by the kernel when creating the
connection. These values have been replaced by 'client' and 'server'
words: that's even more helpful than showing random numbers. Note that
the addresses IDs are incremented and decremented in the test: +1 or -1
are then displayed in these cases.
Not to loose info that can be useful for debugging in case of issues,
these random numbers are now displayed at the beginning of the test.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
