Re: [PATCH bpf-next] selftests: fix test group SKIPPED result

Hi John,

Test FAILs when there is an unexpected condition during test/subtest execution, developer does not control it. Hence we propagate FAIL subtest result to be the test result, test_progs result and consequently CI result.
On the other hand, SKIP state is fully controlled by us. E.g. we decide when particular subtest/test should be skipped. We do not propagate SKIP state to the test_progs result. test_progs result can either be OK or FAIL. Also, SKIPPED subtest is not an indication of a problem in a test. Hence, I do not think one SKIPPED subtest should mark the whole test as SKIPPED.

For example, core_reloc_btfgen has 77 subtests (https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/3349035937/jobs/5548924891#step:6:4895). Some of them are skipped right now. However, most of them are passing. It is a normal state. For me, marking core_reloc_btfgen as SKIP would mean that something is not right with the whole test. Also, I do not think we are reviewing SKIP tests / subtests right now. Maybe we should. But this would be orthogonal discussion to this patch.
