The other option of using function redirection on the io read() write() functions exists, and would be a bit simpler in the short-term, but would probably result in a lot of tests reimplementing this, and also would have some performance impacts, as the I/O accesses wouldn't be able to be inlined if KUNIT is enabled.
That sounds OK to me because nobody is enabling KUNIT in production, right?
You'd think so, but...
Android GKI [1] is enabling it. I had thought as =m, but maybe it was =y. I can't find a good link for it now, but e.g. here's a patch they're carrying to prevent KUnit from running built-in tests [2]
They could just carry another patch if we go down this route, but it goes to show that there might be others out there w/ reasons to do this.
