KUnit tests often need to provide a struct device, and thus far have mostly been using root_device_register() or platform devices to create a 'fake device' for use with, e.g., code which uses device-managed resources. This has several disadvantages, including not being designed for test use, scattering files in sysfs, and requiring manual teardown on test exit, which may not always be possible in case of failure.
Instead, introduce a set of helper functions which allow devices (internally a struct kunit_device) to be created and managed by KUnit -- i.e., they will be automatically unregistered on test exit. These helpers can either use a user-provided struct device_driver, or have one automatically created and managed by KUnit. In both cases, the device lives on a new kunit_bus.
This is a follow-up to a previous proposal here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230325043104.3761770-1-davidgow@go...
(The kunit_defer() function in the first patch there has since been merged as the 'deferred actions' feature.)
My intention is to take this whole series in via the kselftest/kunit branch, but I'm equally okay with splitting up the later patches which use this to go via the various subsystem trees in case there are merge conflicts.
Cheers, -- David
Signed-off-by: David Gow davidgow@google.com --- Changes in v4: - Update tags, fix a missing Signed-off-by. - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231214-kunit_bus-v3-0-7e9a287d3048@google.com
Changes in v3: - Port the DRM tests to these new helpers (Thanks, Maxime!) - Include the lib/kunit/device-impl.h file, which was missing from the previous revision. - Fix a use-after-free bug in kunit_device_driver_test, which resulted in memory corruption on some clang-built UML builds. - The 'test_state' is now allocated with kunit_kzalloc(), not on the stack, as the stack will be gone when cleanup occurs. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208-kunit_bus-v2-0-e95905d9b325@google.com
Changes in v2: - Simplify device/driver/bus matching, removing the no-longer-required kunit_bus_match function. (Thanks, Greg) - The return values are both more consistent (kunit_device_register now returns an explicit error pointer, rather than failing the test), and better documented. - Add some basic documentation to the implementations as well as the headers. The documentation in the headers is still more complete, and is now properly compiled into the HTML documentation (under dev-tools/kunit/api/resources.html). (Thanks, Matti) - Moved the internal-only kunit_bus_init() function to a private header, lib/kunit/device-impl.h to avoid polluting the public headers, and match other internal-only headers. (Thanks, Greg) - Alphabetise KUnit includes in other test modules. (Thanks, Amadeusz.) - Several code cleanups, particularly around error handling and allocation. (Thanks Greg, Maxime) - Several const-correctness and casting improvements. (Thanks, Greg) - Added a new test to verify KUnit cleanup triggers device cleanup. (Thanks, Maxime). - Improved the user-specified device test to verify that probe/remove hooks are called correctly. (Thanks, Maxime). - The overflow test no-longer needlessly calls kunit_device_unregister(). - Several other minor cleanups and documentation improvements, which hopefully make this a bit clearer and more robust. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231205-kunit_bus-v1-0-635036d3bc13@google.com
