This question is primarily directed at Shuah and Linus....
What's the current status of the kunit series now that Brendan has moved it out of the top-level kunit directory as Linus has requested?
The move happened smack in the middle of merge window and landed in linux-next towards the end of the merge window.
We seemed to decide to just wait for 5.5, but there is nothing that looks to block that. And I encouraged Shuah to find more kunit cases for when it _does_ get merged.
Right. I communicated that to Brendan that we could work on adding more kunit based tests which would help get more mileage on the kunit.
So if the kunit branch is stable, and people want to start using it for their unit tests, then I think that would be a good idea, and then during the 5.5 merge window we'll not just get the infrastructure, we'll get a few more users too and not just examples.
thanks, -- Shuah
