I prefer to keep selftests/bpf install broken. This forced marriage between kselftests and selftests/bpf never worked well. I think it's a time to free them up from each other.
Alexei, it would be great if you could cooperate with other people instead of pushing your own way. The selftests infrastructure was put to the kernel to have one place for testing. Inventing yet another way to add tests does not help anyone. You don't own the kernel. We're community, we should cooperate.
I agree, we rely on the infrastructure of the kselftests framework so that testing systems do not have to create "custom" frameworks to handle all of the individual variants that could easily crop up here.
Let's keep it easy for people to run and use these tests, to not do so is to ensure that they are not used, which is the exact opposite goal of creating tests.
