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@xxxxxxxxxx/ (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. I'd really appreciate any extra scrutiny that can be given to this; particularly around the device refcounts and whether we can guarantee that the device will be released at the correct point in the test cleanup. I've seen a few crashes in kunit_cleanup, but only on some already flaky/fragile UML/clang/alltests setups, which seem to go away if I remove the devm_add_action() call (or if I enable any debugging features / symbols, annoyingly). Cheers, -- David Signed-off-by: David Gow <davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx> --- 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@xxxxxxxxxx --- David Gow (4): kunit: Add APIs for managing devices fortify: test: Use kunit_device overflow: Replace fake root_device with kunit_device ASoC: topology: Replace fake root_device with kunit_device in tests Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/resource.rst | 9 ++ Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/usage.rst | 50 +++++++ include/kunit/device.h | 80 +++++++++++ lib/fortify_kunit.c | 5 +- lib/kunit/Makefile | 3 +- lib/kunit/device.c | 181 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/kunit/kunit-test.c | 134 +++++++++++++++++- lib/kunit/test.c | 3 + lib/overflow_kunit.c | 5 +- sound/soc/soc-topology-test.c | 10 +- 10 files changed, 465 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) --- base-commit: c8613be119892ccceffbc550b9b9d7d68b995c9e change-id: 20230718-kunit_bus-ab19c4ef48dc Best regards, -- David Gow <davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx>
