Hello, Cover letter is here.
This patch set aims to make 'git status' clear after 'make' and 'make run_tests' for kselftests.

This doesn't sound right. err.log is a generated file when the test runs.
IIUC, generally, there are 2 ways to handle files generated by the tests - 1. clean/remove it if it's a temporary file before the test exits. - 2. add it to the gitignore if it's the test result or log that needs to be referred to later.
In this zram case, it seems it intended to log and print the error only if some commands get something wrong.
And this file have been already tracked in the Makefile tools/testing/selftests/zram/Makefile:EXTRA_CLEAN := err.log
Given that I also think it's fine to add it to gitignore.
Thanks Zhijian
