@catap I don't see any checks: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk17u-dev/pull/1262/checks

We need tests in the backport release. Checks in backport releases are important since we are a lot closer to customer installations than we are in head, so backports are arguably more dangerous than patches in head.

Please see https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/JDKUpdates/How+to+contribute+or+backport+a+fix, especially section 3.
