As per commit 131b30c94fbc ("kselftest: exclude failed TARGETS from runlist") failed targets were excluded from the runlist. But value $$INSTALL_PATH is always NULL. It should be $INSTALL_PATH instead $$INSTALL_PATH.

So, fix Makefile to use $INSTALL_PATH.

I was a bit puzzled at first since I never saw the NULLified value while testing the original patch. Looking at it closely today, I realized that I used to test it like:

$ rm -rf $HOME/KSFT_TEST && make -C tools/testing/selftests/ INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/KSFT_TEST install

which in fact causes INSTALL_PATH to be exported down to the subshell in the recipe, so that even referring it as $$INSTALL_PATH from the recipe line make it work fine.

Instead, using the default Makefile provided value (unexported) by invoking like:

$ rm -rf $HOME/KSFT_TEST && make -C tools/testing/selftests/ install

exposes the error you mentioned, being INSTALL_PATH not accessible form the subshell and so NULL. Moreover it's anyway certainly better to refer with $(INSTALL_PATH) being it a strict Makefile var. So it's fine for me, thanks to have spotted this.

Thanks for Reviewing.

I have to send v2 patch with author mail id fix. I will keep your Reviewed-by.

Thanks to you.

I forgot to say that maybe it's worth also adding a Fixes: tag too like:

Fixes: 131b30c94fbc ("kselftest: exclude failed TARGETS from runlist")

given that I've spotted the original patch being already picked up for some stable queues like in:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191018220324.8165-22-sashal@kernel.org/

Thanks
