Bart, let me confirm. Do you suggest test() { _nvmet_target_setup "$@" instead of this? test() { _nvmet_target_setup If so, it looks weird since "$@" in test() is not the parameters passed to _nvmet_target_setup(). Anyway, I tried the change with test/nvme/003, and observed the shellcheck warning disappears. Then, it will work so long as "$@" is empty in the context of _nvmet_target_setup() caller. Otherwise, it will not work. For me, your original suggestion to add "ignored_agument" looks better than "$@". (or in short, "noarg" or something)
