Currently, in order to compare memory blocks in KUnit, the KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ or KUNIT_EXPECT_FALSE macros are used in conjunction with the memcmp function, such as: KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, memcmp(foo, bar, size), 0);
Although this usage produces correct results for the test cases, if the expectation fails the error message is not very helpful, indicating only the return of the memcmp function.
Therefore, create a new set of macros KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ that compare memory blocks until a determined size. In case of expectation failure, those macros print the hex dump of the memory blocks, making it easier to debug test failures for memory blocks.
The v4 doesn't bring many changes. The output is aligned just like the previous version but it fixes some mail client problems (sorry about that) and mentions that this macros are not recommended for structured data.
The first patch of the series introduces the KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ. The second patch adds an example of memory block expectations on the kunit-example-test.c. And the last patch replaces the KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ for KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ on the existing occurrences.
